Full Moon Lunar Eclipse – Cardinal Signs Beware

This is going to be one of them rock and roll weeks where the sudden and unexpected changes the trajectory shifting our forward motion sending us into directions and places we never thought we’d go to.

The Lunar Eclipse kicks off the ongoing Uranus/Pluto square.  Issues involving those planets, political stuff, strange weather patterns, and acts of terror are shaken up; twisted and turned resulting in outcomes never before perceived. 

On a very personal level, because the eclipse falls along the Libra/Aries axis, relationship issues come to a head.  These energies can escalate domestic violence with the abused as well as the abusers facing decision time. Get out, get help and make changes.

 Retrograde Mercury insures that we received a lot of mixed messages whether from loved ones, authority figures or the news media. On Friday, October 10^th Mercury slips back into Libra providing an opportunity to rehash old issues involving relationships, personal or political. This return to Libra favors negotiating new terms and updating old agreements.

This Lunar Eclipse falls on the natal Saturn of the USA. (July 4, 1776) The USA is young compared to many nations of the world that have been in existence for thousands of years. With the ongoing, transiting Uranus/Pluto square setting off the USA’s natal Sun/Saturn square it’s safe to say that the USA is going through some growing pains and has been for the past 6 years or so.  Liberals and Conservatives disagree on many subjects but a cruise around the web or a conversation with your neighbor, no matter what the political stance, reveals a general disgust with Mayors, Governors, Senators and Presidents.  This feeling is reflected around the world with a general discontent with those in authority.  The Uranus/Pluto square in affect from 2012 through 2015 and beyond has fueled this discontent and will continue to do so until changes have been made.  This current Lunar Eclipse marks a significant period or point within that time span.

Uranus encourages rebellion.  Tied up in this current Lunar Eclipse that energy prods and pushes a lot of people to resist authority and shake up the status quo. Relationships that no longer feed our growth come under scrutiny.  Some will change and grow with the flow; those that are stagnant and stuck may fall by the wayside.

For the Cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn Uranus and Pluto have been doing their dance on the Cardinal platform. The lives, feelings and physical surroundings of our Cardinal friends have been undergoing slow, inexorable change triggered perhaps by some sudden, unexpected events that are beyond their control. The Fixed signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, and the Mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces by extension are all feeling these pressures as well. 

There’s been a buildup to this Lunar Eclipse. The energy culminates at the Full Moon. Decisions will be made and plans for future action will be made as well.  The Solar Eclipse that follows, the New Moon of October 23^rd will set the stage for more change.

Until that time reassess, realign and review.  Lunar Eclipses are more inner and emotional while the Solar Eclipses are more outer and active, proactive even.  Remember Mercury does not go direct until the 25^th.  After that time things get clearer, information surfaces and we are better equipped to make important decisions.
