Fun and Games with Eclipses

For those of you who follow astrology and enjoy watching patterns, a lot is going on in the next couple of weeks. We just had Pluto enter business-minded, structured Capricorn, which will have interesting ramifications on the global turf or, if you prefer, the things happening in our world over the next decade and a little more will define how we view the Capricorn generation.

Then there’s Mars going direct, Mercury going retrograde (the Murphy’s Law of astrology that says your computers, communication, and transportation will all blow up for the next 3 weeks), and–here’s where you can get nervous–a couple of eclipses coming up. Eclipses are considered a sign of things moving forward very quickly, speeding them up or giving them a jump start.

So what happens when an eclipse conjuncts one of your natal planets? Some people say it’s like the transformational blast/upset of Pluto acting on that planet. In other words, if the eclipse is at the same degree as a particular planet in your birth chart, then the life areas represented by that planet will be where you have a sudden upset…more like a nuclear strike on that planet.

Head on over to astro.com and run your own charts, see where the eclipses fall in your life!
