Total Solar Eclipse 
November 13
21 56′ Scorpio
3:59pm CST,USA

::::::::::::::::::::::::

Neptune is magnetic, negative, astringent and contractive.  It is moist, warm, fruitful, mysterious and elusive.

Sun and (New) Moon are conjunct earth during the total solar eclipse in Scorpio.

We will effectively be drawing down the solar and lunar rays of this eclipse onto the material plane.

Your SCORPIO HOUSE is getting an influx of RAPID GROWTH.

Sun enhances / induces spiritual illumination
Moon enhances / induces moral and physical development

If you were born in the late 60’s this eclipse will draw down solar and lunar energies into the Scorpio area of your natal chart where Neptune lives.

I am writing WILL BE when in fact, if Neptune is a major player in your chart, you ALREADY HAVE BEEN getting this, yes ?  I have for some time.

Sun is magnetic; new moon less so.

Given that the eclipse is exact in the Venusian 7th house of Libra (magnetic), Venus is trine Jupiter from AIR to AIR and Mercury will next pass over the eclipse point in Rx…

Communication is on the table and it surrounds money, creativity, love.  
Most probably all 3.

When Neptune is involved – use caution and stay grounded in reality at least during the daytime – trust me on this one !

Magicks in grounding to ponder on a Virgo moon.
Rocks WILL help ground you…
Will return…

Total Solar Eclipse
November 13
4:00pm CST, USA
21 57′ Scorpio

Total Solar Eclipse visibility can be seen here and animated here.
Prenumbral Lunar Eclipse Nov 28 visibility can be seen here.

More science regarding eclipses via NASA here.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
November 28
8:46am, CST USA
Gemini 6′ 47″
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The Total Solar Eclipse is in Scorpio conjunct Rahu, the Dragon’s Head (North Node), making Pluto Lord of the Eclipse.  Solar eclipses generate outward expression of the planetary energies : consciously visible changes will occur with this eclipse conjunct Rahu with Pluto as Lord.

During this eclipse, the Moon will entirely shadow the sun (see visibility above).   Astrologically this indicates emotions (water) are high – imagination, adaptability, issues surrounding home and family are heightened; (solar traits) ambition, glory-seeking egocentric behavior are lessened.

North Node, or Rahu, is considered a point of elevation – it is an amplifier – an influx of new energy will pour into your Scorpio house setting you in motion towards your destined future.

This eclipse is a Super Moon, which means the moon is perigee or closest point of approach to the earth.  The weather is often more intense, tides will be higher and lower near the exact date in addition to an increase in wind activity.  Again, lunar traits will be more strongly felt – emotions, home, family, instincts come strongly into focus, and sensitivity is keen.

Many born in the late 60’s will have the eclipse on or conjunct natal Neptune near the 21′ degree : feeling this eclipse strongly on that sensitive planet is likely if Neptune factors largely in your natal chart.  In which case, Pluto (Lord of eclipse) encourages  metamorphosis of all things Neptune, a purging of outdated desires, power reversals and surrender coupled with the beneficial healing and higher love for self and others  that comes with releasing what is no longer serving your highest goals / good.

Check your house of Scorpio to see where you will be feeling the shift.  Keep in mind solar eclipses are active for one year for each hour of shadow – and each successive planet that passes over the eclipse point will then add a new planetary energy to the eclipse gumbo !

Pluto rules fixed water, emotional endings – but also new beginnings !

Chiron will square Mercury Rx at the 0 degree of Sagittarius: re-thinking of learning, philosophies, teaching, healing methods and higher forms of communication of all kinds.

Chiron trines Saturn exact in Scorpio, suggesting new, healthy, firm foundations are the future results of this eclipse.  

Mercury Rx and new Neptune exact square – both at the cosmic portal – the point of possibilities : zero degrees : zero is also ruled by Pluto.  Mercury and Neptune are vibrating divine intuition and profound transformation at the time of this powerful eclipse.  whoa. cool.

Mars is conjunct the Galactic Center at 27 degrees Sagittarius during the eclipse.  Conjunctions to the Galactic Center call the planetary energy into vibration with all that exists beyond : super conscious intuition works in tandem with an underlying cosmic understanding of all that is.  Now THAT is Universal Higher Mind Expansion, Sagittarius style ! 

Mars conjunct Galactic Center while Uranus Rx in Aries (Mars rules) trines Mercury Rx in Sagittarius at zero degrees : a call to re-activate and re-invent ways of taking action that embody the higher qualities of Jupiter : honor, hope and charity towards others.   Here’s more on the Galactic Center via Johnathan Cainer’s interview with Eric Francis.

Taurus rises in the eclipse chart with Libra Venus trine Jupiter Rx in Gemini.  Seems to me like a pop refresher course on the Occultation of Venus: Gemini and Sagittarius pointed to ongoing improvement in the future evolution of communications.
Fascinating.
At that time Venus was square Mars while Mercury was exact opposite the Galactic Center.  From the occultation, we advance to this eclipse : Loving thought coupled with actions rooted in tolerance and acceptance of all life : micro / macro.

Right ON !
peace, love and kind veggie burritos

I took a look at my Prenatal eclipse tonight.

Verrrry interesting !  The chart of that day ..?.. most definitely a portent of things to come.  Solar eclipse, N Node in Toro – Mercury conjunct Sun/Moon becomes Lord of the eclipse. They all trine Uranus/Pluto in the 3rd. Merc is quintile Jupiter. 

Fabulous to see what was up above while I was swimming & incubating – getting ready to hatch. ha  Cogs were slipping into place already, very cool.  Wonder when my consciousness landed ..?.. interesting to consider…
::::::::::::::

Here is how you can glean more info about yourself, your personality – or more likely be reminded of your challenges and obstacles in this life as well as how you will have to work to overcome them.

Find the eclipse just before : closest to : your birthdate. (Use the NASA Moon phase link on right.)  Cook up the chart and see if it is solar or lunar.  What is Lord of your eclipse ?  Any big aspect patterns ? Trends emerging…?

Solar : Setting the gears for life in the public eye – leadership, creativity, extroverted.

Lunar : Setting the gears for a life of contemplation – quiet, adaptable, introverted.

Now look at the next eclipse after your birth. 
If it is the same as the pre-birth eclipse, the energies will support each other; if not there will be strain to balance the two.

For instance, if the pre-birth eclipse is lunar, and the post-birth solar; the individual will be thrust into the spotlight in some way, like it or not.  :::Sounds like a retrograde planet kicking into gear at middle age, yes ? – similar energies – only dealing with the conscious/ subconscious self:::

The pre-birth eclipse return usually happens around the age of 19, and again near the age of 38, and 57.  Life events will change course during these Metonic cycles. 
::::::::::::::::::

There is more about eclipses in the drop-down above, too.
I see the cycles in my life – 38 was a real kicker.  Do you ?
What’s up in your  chart …?… I’d love to hear it !

South Node activate !

Who else is processing like mad ?

This Gemini Eclipse falls in my 6th, so I finally took some time for Virgo self-care, ditched work for one dark moon night on the swank Toro couch with seasons 6 & 7 of Star Trek Voyager.
I quit thinking  for a bit and watched pictures. I needed it, ‘cause I am back at it Virgo processing, Mercury at it full steam again today.

Things in my life have been rapid fire change-ups lately, just this morning I changed my mind about something I had been fairly sure of for the last few weeks.  Multi-tasking out the yin yang, and juggling day job, night job – I am also the handy ma’am, the cook, the gardener and the cleaning lady.  I write this post, trim my 7ft hedge, turn my garden, then write some more.  Head and Hands full of Gemini and then some.  You ?

Friends of mine I care very much for are waiting (you know who you are) please know I am very aware you are waiting and am doing my best, okay ? xo  You are very much on my mind, and in my heart, as always.
Soon…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Which brings me to South Node.
Are you all wrapping up something from the past, or thinking about it ?   Changing your mind about where you envision yourself in your future ?  Are you seeing both sides, getting great ideas..? 

This eclipse is like figuring out what to pack for your journey to the next Sagittarius eclipse in early June. The North Node of Destiny awaits us ~>
Keep the South Node lessons and enter Sag with a broader vision, a more positive outlook, enthusiastic vigor for exploration of infinite possibilities and adventure !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where is your North Node, and what rules that house ? 
Find that planet and work that energy and its contacts for success !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My North Node ruler is Mars. I have Saturn the restrictor retrograde (it is slower than slow, trust me.) in the house of what and who I AM.  (ego squashing) Saturn is my chart ruler in the house where it falls, or operates poorly (opposite house of exaltation).  The energies are not matched at. all.  Saturn wants to brake and Mars – ruled Aries wants to get the freakin’ lead out already and get moOoving !

My retrograde Saturn trines Mars;  which turn quintiles Uranus.  This means it may take me forever, but once I am on it – it gets done – I will tackle it entirely with unmatched focus and determination.  I will not give up.  Ever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where is your South Node, and what planet rules that house ?
Pack up the lessons of that house and carry it into the new moon eclipse !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This lifetime for me is about squashing the ego of the past.
Blazing my trail, my way, the independent spirit set free.
More Marsy action & go get it – less Venus attraction and wait for it to come.

My South Node is in Libra 10th, so last life I had the recognition, the accolades.  This life I have to get over the fact that those I crave approval from the most often deny it.
  I have to drop all thought of chasing the shiny object, for if I seek it, I suffer.  (Sun opp Chiron)  My Sun is also Void of course at 29 degrees Virgo: semi-square Moon, square ASC, opposite chiron.  It is my final dispositor, and conjunct knock down game-changers Uranus and Pluto.  I get waylaid a LOT, but have to keep going, have faith in myself. (Sun in 9, Aries North Node)

What will you pack up to carry into your North Node future…?
What do you think is your destiny ?

I’ll be keeping the love & balance, please and thank you, and I’ll be ditching the rest !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the Gemini 0 degree eclipse, I would like to thank those who have given me a hand up when I needed it.  (Gemini rules hands)

:::Those waiting, (you know who you are) bonds with you time only strengthens.
I remain humbly grateful for the generosity of your gift.  Thank you.
:::My friend, Sagittarian Moon, who comments here regularly – you are the best ! xo
:::Juile Hansen, a remarkable intuitive who consistently says *just the right thing* to
nudge me in the right direction, thank you !
:::My fellow Toro Moon gal pal astrologer, Perianne – check out her astro blog !
:::Astrologer, intuitive, and Human Design consultant, Hal Bahr, whose kindness introduced me to many new readers, Thank you !
:::My new friend Mary Pat who has welcomed me so warmly, thank you !

Happy eclipse, everyone ~
…now I trim hedge !

Sunday May 20
Sun enters Gemini 10:16am CST, USA
Moon enters Gemini 6:06pm
Annular Solar eclipse 6:45pm
New Moon 6:47pm
Map of annular solar eclipse visibility here. 

Gemini house is hoppin’ and boppin’ these days. 
Venus in Gemini on April 3rd – August 7th
(5 months is an extra long stay)
Sun into Gemini Sunday 20th
Rare Occultation of Venus on June 5
All in Gemini. 

Good thing Gem energy multi-tasks well, we will need all Gem hands on deck ! 
Know how to tell when a Gemini is freaking on information overload ? 
hands are in the air waving around, lol. stop talking back away slowly….

Annular Solar Eclipse is at 0 degrees Gemini – Mercury is Lord of the Eclipse.
Solar Eclipses involve identity, ego, ambition, leadership, co-operation.
Awareness.
Versatility in communication is on the table for this eclipse.

This is a New Moon – a time for beginnings and fresh starts, growing upward.  New Moon feels spontaneous, filled with possibilities, intuition and instincts rule while moonlight is dim.
*Clean the corners, toss items, do rituals for closing, clearing stagnant energies, light candles and smudge in preparation for new moon.

Energies in play at new moon will culminate at the next full moon.
The next full moon is the Partial Lunar eclipse June 4 in Sagittarius.

South Node of Destiny accompanies this annular eclipse, so get ready to bob and weave with the past – adaptation, improvisation.

Thinking, learning talking, writing, siblings, neighbors, short journeys are some of the energies in motion with this eclipse.

Pay attention to what is happening in your life in the days prior to the eclipse to determine what energies are being activated in your life.  Eclipses are often triggered before the actual eclipse and the energies continue to play out over weeks or months afterward as other planets move over the eclipse point.

Early August will reveal more internal struggles regarding this eclipse energy and early November will reveal the growth via confrontation with others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where is the Gemini house in your natal chart ?  
Kickstarting soon ! 

Keep in mind the mutables are feeling the squeeze : Virgo and Pisces by square (internal conflict surrounding new communication energies).

Sagittarius by opposition (juggling solutions and compromise with another, via you guessed, it  – communication).

Communication opportunities are presenting themselves in your Aries and Leo houses.

Juno is in this ballgame too…actively engaging in a tug of war across the wheel, and it is walking right beside the path into the future  via North Node.

Gemini talks, Sagittarius walks (rules thighs) this eclipse is like climbing the high dive ladder for the 1st time…0 degree eclipse…the next eclipse is Sagittarius totally going for the swan dive leap of faith…it is easier by the time we get there because we have higher visions incoming all month !  Jupiter is protective as well ~
 …  hmmm interesting … eclipse is exactly trine my natal Juno at zero Libra.

Something that strikes me is this is both a chart of reaping from former efforts and also giving back to people.  (SW quadrant) 

What we are actively sowing is exactly that : Work.
– changes and transformation re: work (Pluto in Cap)
– organizing, streamlining energetic efforts across the board (Mars in Virgo)
– shifting of balance re: work, status, career, health and routines (Saturn Rx in Virgo)

Ben Jordan

Money, love and creativity are all undergoing major overhaul at this eclipse. 

Venus Rx and Saturn Rx exact trine, both also loosely trine Neptune.
Time is money.  Money talks, BS walks.  Does anybody really know what time it is ?

Brakes are on while we re-think, renovate and re-purpose love, communication, partnership and work.  *Fun times* …I think I need another vacation. yeah ok. right. not gonna happen, ha.  Suck it up sweetheart. Welcome to Uranus square Pluto !

Jupiter is conjunct Lord of the Eclipse, and he’ll be Lord of the next Eclipse, this is a keep your eyes on the prize aspect – North Node will lead you ~> find your Sagittarius house and SEE your visionary goals !  Juno North Node carrot right. in. front. of. you.

This eclipse is giving me visuals of Contact: Ellie shaking in the seat of satellite dudes spaceship Good to Go !

Eclipse luminaries are square Neptune which opposes Mars ~
where the hell are we going ? !
Who knows…?…but we’ve got high hopes ! 
Leo is at eclipse MC, and it is time to get creative, people !  Make it work !
…and did I mention I just checked out 2 seasons of Spartacus – bit violent for me, but the tribal jewelry is to die for !   Horns, bones, leather and stone – yes !

Mars in 10 in the Mercury ruled house trine Pluto, fresh new ground is tilled and ready for planting new moon thought seeds for long – term growth. Be aware Gemini is a restless, changeable energy and it likes to switch it up.

For those of you asking about spell work at new moon – Gemini new moon is in flux, neutral and dual.  Not known for sticking and staying, but moreso for ideas, observing, being flexible and spells will reflect this.  If you are looking to work with Mercury, be aware it is trickster energy !

Lord of the Eclipse is quintile Chiron. 
Mercury heals.
Think, learn, teach, walk your talk and work the witty ways out of the square to Neptune, get real, get creative, put one foot in front of the other.  Just keep walking / swimming.
Do you speak whale ?  haha  I don’t, but I do speak toad and cat. lol.

Uranus in Aries wants it right the fuq now, and Pluto Rx in Cap says you will get it when I am damn good and ready.

It’s cool, baby…put it in cruise control….we’ll get there….

Eclipse luminaries are bi-quintile Saturn Rx in Virgo.
 Mercury, Lord of the Eclipse is quintile Chiron.
If you are team Chiron rules Virgo – talents and genius expression.
If you are team Mercury rules Virgo – talents and genius expression.

Either way, we are working towards healing…
Like I said… Good to Go !

Lord of this eclipse will be exactly opposite my Neptuner !

Partial Solar Eclipse November 25, 12:10 AM CST, USA.
Visible to New Zealand, The Cape of South Africa, Antarctica.

If you have ?? about visibility of this eclipse, or science ?? regarding eclipses in general, click – here.

Now I delve into the astrology !   Micro & Macro YaY !  (rubs hands together)
Pictured below is the astrology of the eclipse, though keep in mind the energy of an eclipse will be felt before and after the actual eclipse.

Eclipses are signposts indicating new directions in life, both personally and globally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Events prior to the eclipse can signal what issues will be brought to the table in the coming months, both personally and globally.   The energies surrounding the eclipse are in flux ~ ride the wave ~ we are approaching the dark of the moon on the 25th.

Dark Moons are times of introspection and quiet, a time of planting your seeds for fresh new beginnings that will expand with the waxing of the moon.  Conversely, a solar eclipse is a very outward, ego powered opportunity for leadership and co-operation.

This eclipse is in Sagittarius, making Jupiter (rules Sagittarius) the Lord of the Eclipse.  Sagittarius loves to have friends, and lots of them from all over the world.  Jupiter is the exploring philosopher, the optimistic teacher who likes to have fun.   Jupiter also expands whatever it touches and it is in Venus ruled Taurus.  Taurus is patient, dedicated, hard-working and practical and they want and need security – both financially and in love (Venus).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can see by the eclipse chart above there is a Grand Earth Trine, that’s material goods, wealth, recognition and success.  Jupiter is in slow and steady earth, building something big with a fiery creative Sagittarius Venus (money, art, earnings, kindness) with a perfectionist Mars bringing the practical power behind the climb.

Uranus, which can be one heck of a wild card is square both Venus and Pluto – so set intentions to be malleable in the face of changes.  Don’t back yourself into a corner financially.  Yes, that means personally and globally.

Did I mention Jupiter, Lord of the eclipse rules bankers ? Well, it does- and it is opposite (a call for compromise) responsible, thrifty Saturn in the sign of the scales of balance, Libra.  What does that tell you..?  exactly.

The quincunx from the solar eclipse point to Jupiter, the ruler of the eclipse ?!
Whoa ! ~ That indicates adaptation and improvisation.  In this case it indicates a regeneration and transformation of character, both personally and globally – a need for adjustment between wants, needs, and ethics.   It is a growing awareness that greed will no longer work for any of us – personally or globally.

Note that Uranus is at 0 degrees in Aries – and it is trine the eclipse degree – that’s a major jumpstart !
Uranus is the rebel; Aries, the pioneer –  first out of the gate to start something new ~>
Imagine all the fabulous new things you can do with the power of an optimistic solar eclipse behind you in the sign of expansion and enthusiasm.

There is a kite with Neptune and Chiron (the only body in water in this chart) at the spiritual helm.  Neptune is inspiration, idealism, spiritual intelligence and yes, suffering.  Neptune just went direct and is building up steam to get the heck out of Aquarius, and Chiron, the healer has already passed into Pisces, which is the sign of divine, faith-driven healing.

Chiron is blazing a trail for Neptune to follow ~ this is a good positive influence, bringing mass attention to the bigger scheme of earthkind / Gaia / Cosmos healing on a global scale.

Mars is in Virgo (Virgo is Mercury or Chiron ruled- depending on who you ask) and Mars is the focal planet of the kite.  Clever Virgo Mars delivers communications regarding the health of the general public via the internet – completely circumventing the useless corporate owned mass media.

Neptune and Chiron opposite Mars in the 12th ~> that’s the Jedi, the sacred warrior – forcing change through spiritual stealth instead of direct confrontation.  Yes, light sabers are deadly, I know.  I am referring here to thought light sabers, the higher octaves and qualities of healing in action with Mars being the blade that cuts away the unnecessary thoughts.  This is the pen (mind) is mightier than the sword aspect. 

Mercury (perception, logic, communication of kinds) is Quintile –gifts direct from spirit- Chiron the philosopher/healer.  Mercury is the Lightbearer for the Physical Sun & this is a Solar Eclipse.  Mercury holds the torch of intellect to alight the the path before ego arrives.  This aspect results in healing thoughts and perceptions.

The Eclipse point, North Node of Destiny, Mercury Rx, and Venus all in Sagittarius in a rolling conjunction (with Pluto popping out on the end in Capricorn) means all these energies are pinging off the eclipse vibe as well.  That is a lot of energy finding internal and external balance (solar / lunar) and expression regarding the philosophy of where are we going on a personal and mass global scale.

Manifest your best destiny and ride the eclipse wave~


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In closing, although this eclipse is only visible to portions of Antarctica, New Zealand and the Cape of South Africa, it is felt by all earthkind via the energy grid, similar to the rolling conjunction I mentioned earlier.

Also, after the eclipse occurs, every planet that moves over the eclipse degree, (by conjunction, opposition or trine) pings a bit of its energy into the eclipse vibe for months afterward.  With that in mind, choose your thoughts and manifest wisely in the days to come…

Partial Solar Eclipse coming up November 24 / 25 right about midnight CST, USA at 3 degrees of Sagittarius.

A Saggie party !!
Sun, Moon, North Node, Mercury and Venus will be WhoOoping it UP !
More on that later…

Click here for a NASA map of the trajectory – who will actually see it.
(haha gave it away already !)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then watch this short, but very cool vid of an annular eclipse, and the moon’s shadow as it crosses the Earth.

antumbra –  The antumbra is that part of the Moon’s shadow that extends beyond the umbra.  It is similar to the penumbra in that the Sun is only partially blocked by the Moon.  From within the antumbra, the Sun appears larger than the Moon which is seen in complete silhouette.  An annular eclipse is seen when an observer passes through the antumbra.

penumbra –  The penumbra is the weak or pale part of the Moon’s shadow.  From within the penumbra, the Sun is only partially blocked by the Moon as in the case of a partial eclipse.  This contrasts with the umbra, where the Sun is completely blocked resulting in a total eclipse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

umbra –  The umbra is the darkest part of the Moon’s shadow.  From within the umbra, the Sun is completely blocked by the Moon as in the case of a total eclipse.  This contrasts with the penumbra, where the Sun is only partially blocked resulting in a partial eclipse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t know if I have mentioned I love, Love, LOVE maps..!
My Mercury lives at Midheaven & Mercury rules maps !
 So, I’m tossing this last one in for a great visual of the luminaries and the difference between a lunar and solar eclipse.
