<\/dt>\nIn support of the air travel metaphor, first consider how the April 15 lunar eclipse represented a discernible starting point in reference to the landmarks represented by other eclipses.<\/p>\n
During the Libra lunar eclipse last week, the Sun and Moon occupied precisely the same degree of exactly the same signs (albeit with places reversed) as during the Aries lunar eclipse of Oct. 18, 2013. That’s one landmark in your life.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the phenomenon of two successive lunar eclipses, six months apart, differentiated only by the Sun and Moon having reversed places, last took place almost exactly 18 years ago. That’s another landmark (assuming you are sufficiently over 18 years of age to remember).<\/p>\n
If you have located two landmarks, representing two angles in a triangle, the third and final angle represents your position. In other words, with a bit of memory and a little thought, you can arrive at a good understanding of where on the map of your life your current flight began last week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During your flight, you are, of course, encountering a grand cardinal cross unprecedented in this century. One axis of the grand cross (connecting retrograde Mars in Libra with the opposing Aries lair of Uranus) appears so far to have represented the necessity for some sudden course corrections in response to unexpected conditions. The challenge in those course corrections has been to make them efficiently so as not to run out of fuel before a safe landing place can be found.<\/p>\n
The other axis of the grand cardinal cross (Jupiter’s last leg through Cancer opposing retrograde Pluto in Capricorn) appears, so far, to be rather subtle in its manifestation, with the results more probably evident after landing. First, however, you must land safely in the metaphorical sense.<\/p>\n
In the literal, tangible world of material consequences, in order to land safely, you must first locate a safe landing place. Then, you must have a working definition of what a safe landing is.<\/p>\n
One time-honored definition of a good landing is that which you can walk away from in one piece. Hence, a reasonable objective: to be in at least as good a condition next Tuesday as you were at the beginning of last week. Therefore, do what you have to do, but don’t gamble, get reckless, be careless, get intoxicated, or indulge undue distraction tomorrow, over the weekend and all through Monday. Can do.<\/p>\n
As far as where you want to be physically, mentally, emotionally and\/or spiritually after Tuesday, it’s more problematic. Unlike the Libra lunar eclipse that correlated with your takeoff on April 15, the Taurus solar eclipse on April 29 does not offer quite the same precision of using previous eclipses as landmarks in your life to triangulate with.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, you may anticipate something in general by considering the nature of the ground where the immediately previous solar eclipse (of Nov. 3, 2013) left you and how you would want to improve on that. In addition, if you are old enough (and if memory serves), something that began with the solar eclipse of April 29, 1995, is now coming full circle to closure.<\/p>\n
Beyond those general guidelines, however, it will be necessary to approach next Tuesday with a clear eye and a steady hand, and to make your own happy landing.<\/p>\n
If there ever was a time to see the world as it is and not as you are, it’s now. Neither will wishful thinking serve you now. Nor will fear contribute to the quality of your life, the expansion of your liberty, or the happiness of a landing you can walk away from.<\/p>\n
Instead, proceed with the sure and certain knowledge that a happy landing is available, because it is. Then, beginning right now, use all that your life’s experience has given you to locate (not envision this time, but actually locate) where you want to be when you walk away from next Tuesday. In all probability, you are already very close.<\/p>\n
Finally, go there. Point your life towards the destination you have located and go there. This is not landing on a distant, unexplored planet. This is your life on the only planet you have ever known. Trust yourself. So long as you are not intoxicated or distracted, trust yourself to know good and well what to do, and how to get it done.<\/p>\n
In all probability a happy landing will mean taking care of what are almost certainly a few simple and straightforward (but nonetheless urgent) pieces of business that you know very well you can handle with dispatch. If you can discern and manage just a few down-to-earth tasks, a happy landing onto a new patch of your life will most likely be yours. You will know you have made it by how good it will feel to still be here in one piece.<\/p>\n
