Thank you Jim…feeling the eclipse strongly. Had a breakdown/breakthrough last night regarding finding work. I’ve been unemployed for a year and a half and found that having another door closed to me yesterday put me over some kind of edge. I also fell to the ground while attempting to sit and ran into the edge of a shelf so that I bruised my hip and feeling knocked around. Uranus (natal) is in my 1st house and right now I don’t know who I am in the World anymore. Today, a new cleaner, clearer effort in applying for work. wish me luck…all I want to do is serve!

Dear TD and Sandra,
thanks or sharing… I can relate. I have been dealing with a financial crisis that has come to a head for maybe the third time. forms, courts, lawyers, confusion. In the last month I have felt insane, ashamed, oppressed, frightened, overwhelmed, envious and most of all ANGRY. I feel like every option I have sucks big time, and even escaping into ‘fun’ is not not working. I can relate to every little thing being an aggravation…I go home to regroup a LOT. I have become SUPER mindful driving as I am aware of the crazy driving in others that could surface in me too. Like Chris, I am not taking any s**t from anyone any more. This is big from a libra rising people pleaser…long suppressed aggression is coming out, and even surprising me.

With natal mars is 5 degrees Capricorn, the eclipse and grand cross activated further what Pluto has also been on all year (Pluto has been on Sandra’s sun too). Robert hand calls Pluto on mars ‘Struggle or triumph’. I have a Scorpio Moon too. I am questioning my own judgement on all things now. This is not fun as I feel a loss of self trust on some level.

However, the saving graces of this time seems to be:
1. forcing me to ask for help and I am actually end up feeling supported.
2. when something good happens its feels incredible!!! as it s such a contrast to everything else.
3. creative expression of the tension has produced some good paintings. (If I can remember to paint my feelings, it feels MUCH better afterwards)
4. I’m learning to be grateful for the little things.(sincerely)

Oh I am so glad to read this. I was having a VERY emotional week and couldn’t figure out WHY my feelings were so out of control. Thought I was having a nervous breakdown, the slightest aggravation would bring me to tears. I have a Scorpio moon and tend to get rather emotional during any full moon anyway and my Natal Sun is 5 degrees Capricorn and Natal Mercury 3 degrees Cap, I guess that Lunar Eclipse was at 4 degrees so this explains it all. Feeling much better this week.

Major Intensity is how I describe that Lunar Eclipse. I watched the neighbor dog meander towards me from across the street as a truck barrelled down the road. A close call and a visual I would not want in my head. Later, a little girl’s bicycle accident, where her screams and my RN knowledge convinced intoxicated parents that she needed medical attention. A Gypsy womans spirit caught inside a cat on one of my everyday sessions? hmmmm bizarre. And I too saw the earth shift with a sign of a flagpole. Could this be the 4th of July or just the personal earthquake that Obama just went through with Gen. McChrystal. Intensity, Yes!!

Last week was incredibly intense: my divorce is in its death throes, and my soon-to-be ex made some crazy- but upsetting- legal maneuvers to try and lay claim to a creative project I’ve been working on for years. He has no legal right to it, but was certainly successful in pushing my buttons.
However I realized that the best course of action was not to go on the offensive (why fight crazy with crazy? no one wins) but simply do the paperwork I need to to get this nightmare finished. There’s no legal obligation to even respond.
The whole mess should be final and done by end of July. I cannot wait to be through this horrible process.
Then on Friday I got into a car accident. I am definitely in a ‘it doesn’t rain but it pours’ time. I sincerely hope this lunar eclipse will help clean out the old crap; I feel pushed to the breaking point emotionally (a lot of despair) and am praying things- even if its just my perspective- turn around soon.

Thanks Jim for your loving insights, they definitely help me to navigate these rough waters.

Hi Jim: Since We’re on the road, and I cannot recall for sure, I am wondering where my Moon lives in my natal chart, for this has been a time of inner turmoil about my son and his girlfriend relationship … good thing I am away as they go thru yet another drama! Also, much sadness and grief surfaced for me SaturnDay, after some rather surprising negativity before the full moon … once I stopped trying to apply mind only, thus adding heart, I could see the roots and the expectations that were adding to the snarl. The grace of my practice, once again, paved the way to wisdom. Especially poignant …”Can’t wait” for the Solar on 7/11 … hmmm … convenient or not? Thanks once again for your insights and revelations! Deep bows …

Here in Toronto, Canada where the G20 is taking place all hell broke loose yesterday (Saturday). I have never seen such thuggery in my life from what they call the `Black Bloc` It is a method of infiltrating peaceful marches dressed in black and then creating all sorts of mayhem, and then blending back into the crowd. It was quite a challenge for police to pinpoint these people. They smashed police cars, set them on fire, then window smashed along major streets, looted and threw molotov cocktails, bottles, nails etc….they even knocked a police officer off his horse…I live quite close to where the summit is taking place and it felt very much like an armed camp, all hospitals were on lock down, subways closed, stores etc closed, and sound of helicopters continually echoing…I`m hoping that today, (Sunday) will be less violent….it was a very sad day for Toronto. We are normally a very stable city…

I am a cancer (11th house) with most of my planets in the 10th, 11th and 12th houses. I guess I’m lucky that the moon is in the 3rd house! I’m anticipating based on some of the previous build up that there will be many changes coming over the next couple of weeks. I truly appreciated your suggestions, especially the one recommending intense conversations be held at bay if at all possible for up to a week after the eclipse (I’m assuming the solar). With luck this can be done. If not, it will be interesting to see the fall out of a very dynamic time period and growth expansion.

I wish I’d read this post before I had my meeting with my business partner. Boy did I ever blast him today. On second thought, it wouldn’t have mattered.

I really relate to this post; it’s almost as if everything has been building up for months and I have been overly nice but now I don’t care any more. He needed to hear the truth and I was done sugar coating it.

And it’s not just in business. I broke up with my girlfriend last week too because the relationship was all about her.

Now it’s all about me damn it!

And don’t worry; I’m fully aware of how uncharacteristic of me this whole revelation sounds. Those of you who know me feel free to admonish me off-line but beware, I’m not taking any s**t!

In the middle of a big meeting at work, I was blasted by my supervisor last week for no apparent reason. We talked later-she apologized and added some concerns (or rather criticisms)that had been building up for her. The “talk” cleared the air (for now) and was intense but brief. Key words from her: intimidation,annoyance,”you always…” It was bizarre!

Yes-people on the road have been crazy the last 2 weeks or so! Some near-misses! There are many annoyed, impatient and angry people these days. And the crowds downtown from the Lakers parade exuded such an erratic energy I had to hide inside the building until it was over.

As for my Aquarian self, I have been feeling serene and calm, even though I’m intuiting some big changes on the horizon.
