As we emerge from the eclipse period and get our bearings after yesterday\u2019s Taurus New Moon eclipse, what are you noticing in your life that seemed emblematic of that event, or perhaps has taken on extra importance because of its timing with the astrology? <\/p>\n

Did you experience a \u2018transformational experience\u2019 regarding attachment, jealousy and control? Did you reacquaint yourself with physical reality — including engaging some muscle and stamina to \u2018break ground\u2019 in your life somehow?<\/p>\n

In world news, one manifestation was the terrifying and destructive tornadoes in the Midwestern and Southern U.S. Another was Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, getting banned for life from the NBA and fined $2.5 million Tuesday for racist remarks he made. You can\u2019t make your fortune on the backs of elite black athletes and talk like a Civil War-era plantation owner and get away with it these days. <\/p>\n

The U.S. and the E.U. instituted new sanctions against Russia over the situation in Ukraine. At least 17 banks and other institutions controlled by four billionaires with close ties to President Vladimir Putin, plus other individuals, have been sanctioned.<\/p>\n

Whether you experienced the eclipse as an ordeal, a release, a subtle blip or something to celebrate through ritual, we\u2019d love to hear about it in the comments.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Mercury in Taurus will oppose Saturn in Scorpio Friday (exact at 9:56 pm EDT), with Venus ingressing Aries about 25 minutes later. <\/p>\n

Since Taurus and Scorpio are both fixed signs (the other two are Leo and Aquarius), Mercury-Saturn looks like a standoff, with both parties seemingly intractable. If you\u2019re aware of that ahead of time, you have the option and ability to remember that you can be the more flexible party. Do the power analysis and consider the results carefully.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s valuable if you find yourself squaring off against someone and feel the urge to dig in your heels — especially since Mercury-Saturn can also describe a parent-child scenario. What can you personally do to keep interactions on the adult-to-adult level?<\/p>\n

Venus in Aries is an interesting critter; we\u2019ll have more to say about it tomorrow. Venus goes from \u2018exaltation\u2019 in Pisces (a kind of dignity) to \u2018detriment\u2019 in Aries (a kind of discomfort). Eric has described this as a “what happened?” kind of scenario. <\/p>\n

Eric adds, \u201cNow Venus and Mars will be (1) in detriment; and (2) in mutual reception. The concept here is to watch out for situations that are not good for anyone but about which nobody seems able to do anything. The strategy\/suggestion would be to \u2018see things from the point of view of the other,\u2019 or \u2018do not judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in his moccasins’, — that kind of thing.”<\/p>\n

Given the astrological ground we\u2019re all walking these days, that could be illuminating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
