Eclipse Madness

IMG00304-20090607-1104

Wow – well I am nearly done with the Solar Eclipse queries & so you should have yours by this evening. I am also noticing that peeps are going mental out there today. There is a slight frenetic & bizarre edge to things – i blame it on the Dark Moon before an Eclipse having an extra powerful undertow and yet it’s in Aries so everyone’s buzzed & trying to make stuff happen whilst vibing mega-normal. It’s way more sedate and easy to process ye olde merde once the Moon gets into Taurus on thurs morning in Australia – weds afternoon/night in the Northern Hemisphere….Meanwhile; tame temper tantrums, channel the spaz &  – i know i am a fine one to talk – try to relax a bit.

Weird Symptom Of The Eclipse That I Did Not Particularly Predict: I keep thinking of all the people i know who don’t like  or even hate me. Not obsessively. They just keep occurring to me. It may also be the vile nachos i ate last night. Should avacado come from a sodding tube? Is the pondering peeps who hate one thing just me & my pmt??? Is anyone else having weirder-than-usual dreams?

Aqua-Maddie-Award Du Jour; Aqua-Girl has just texted to say she is off for something to do with nanophysics staying in a yurt, hunting  own food. I don’t know where this leaves her polyphasic sleep cycling but am assuming the Vegan thing is OFF.

    Yes, very vivid dreams. And yes, so much energy today and ’spazzy’ even though had broken sleep and am fighting a virus. Feel very up, up, up but flakey at same time! And now just the most bizarre message came up on my screen it said “You are posting comments too quickly, slow down.” Oh alright then computer. Too funny.

      I hate that mESSAGE. It’s like this is MY SITE. And I have MERCURY IN ARIES> Whom are YOU (as in the computer) to tell me I am posting too quickly. I also hate it when people say i talk too quickly. It’s like well listen faster.
      And Sassy – it is the Dark Moon just beofre the New Moon but more intense when it i s the one pre an Eclipse.
      I consider the Dark Moon to start when the Moon gets to squaring what will be the New Moon. Ie; last quarter.

    yeah i am having weird intense dreams…yes i’m going mental. But still holding it together on the outside.

    The thing about people who don’t like you. I have been getting that a bit, i figured it was stuff i need to clean out before the solar eclispse so am focussing on that and forgiving rather than dwelling on any wrongdoings.

    Had major flash backs to wrongdoings done by my mum this morning, i woke up with this guilt and blame and fear and took a while to shake, it just seems stupid as it’s all really old and all stuff I thought was done and dusted but apparently not. i’m getting visuals that must be from before I was three. all quite weird! but as my mum and I now have a good relationship I am confident I can release it……

    well the Gemini Impregnee gave birth to her baby yesterday… named it same as my first born, so that if she really is the CUBs child, my little dung bug will have two sibs with the same name. So bloody typical Gemini!

    so the new bub was born with the moon in Pisces, sun at 10 Cancer (square her father’s sun) and a Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Aqua. Still waiting on actual birth time so I can check out ASC etc.

        thanks guys, lol, it IS weird~ I mean, the Gemini Impregnee KNOWs what my children’s names are, and KNOWS that CUB has a relationship with all of them, not just the dung bug, and has said she wants our children to know each other~!! (I am not sure about that!!)… and so there’s just NO excuse for the innapropriate naming except perhaps that she’s been in total meltdown mode for months and months, culminating in being carted off from her ex partner’s place by police on the night of the lunar eclipse, then monitored in hospital for the night. In times to come I hope she’ll SEE that its a nutso decision.

        Gemini Impregnee has loads of air and fire FF, only mercury in Taurus (hence she is an accountant/financial planning company manager).

        LOL RLP, my step dad did actually have a dog by the same name, and I once blurted to CUB (when we were going thru baby names) that I will always associate the name with annoying yappy little dogs that pee when they get excited. (he was a bit miffed as his last serious gf had the same name too). One of those names that were made popular by Royals.

    this eclipse season is sending me ghosts! lots and lots of ghosts of friends and lovers past…i am bumping into them on the street, hearing from them via email, people are mentioning that they have seen them, and they are populating my dreams.
    thanks to your astro-query mystic, i have become aware that this eclipse is occurring in my 11th house so this is totally apt; so interesting!
    it’s been a little disconcerting at times but i have been able to be fairly objective, observing the whole thing, and regarding it as a final send-off to an ending era. bring on the new one!

I forgot to feed the cats and I am convinced that this particular cat – whom i sort of obtained by mistake and whom is going to live with my ex as soon as poss – SENT me a bad dream as cat was so pissed off (rightfully) at my slackness, for which i do have an explanation. The dream totally felt like a dream that a psycho-cat would transmit.

        CC if I decide my two only need one meal a day as opposed to their normal two (on really rainy days when they’re inside sleeping I think they don’t need two) they SULK big time and take to walking over my head or worse jumping from the window seat directly onto me while I am sleeping making me wake in fright. My vocal girl “talks to me” and sulks for days.

        Once back in married times, I was away for a week during bad weather and ex-hb didn’t change the litter (only had my girl then) and she shat in front of the refrigerator so he had to change it LOL.

        My boy lets my girl do all the work re nagging/whining for food – like lions really, or humans.

      mon animals bleat loudly if their food clocks’ ignored. being a creature of diversity & randomness am not certain how their food clocks set. 4 legs & a tail acts up as if unfed for 3 years any time someone comes in the gate…..& the goldfish jump puddles for attention….which usually ends in a food reward. am thinking goldfish are due to audition at Sea World.

    As for being spazzy, I’m avoiding any non-urgent real work I should be doing, but am super-cheerful and am having a field day with tangential endeavours (planning holidays, networking, preparing for next year’s career change, counselling a very unhappy junior staff member).

    Thanks for the non-sugar coated eclipse query, Mystic!

    And I say bring it on: Former-Mr-Future-Champagne-Bearing-Aqua called it all off this weekend. No wedding, no future, no nothing. And he keeps sending mixed signals – the “I’ve dumped you, but I’m going to flirt with you.” Of course, half of me hates, half of me loves and all of me wonders why when some people can see what’s wrong and how to fix it, why they don’t want to. Shut up – I know that comment could be flipped arounf like *that.*

    And I still have to deal with the logistics of shared mortgage/apartment and stuff. CRAP.

    I have learned SOOOOOO much in the past few weeks and it seems I am going to have to keep learning. Here comes the Saturn return!

    Thank you all :)

      Champers so sorry to hear about that. Go slowly.

      The mixed messages thing is infuriating. Sometimes we don’t know why people do/say what they do. Sometimes they don’t know themselves. I think the mixed messages thing can indicate the person needs to do some growing up ie. solo, but they cling on to the familiar for comfort no matter how much pain that causes the other person. Seeing what’s wrong and how to fix it is nowhere near actually being motivated to do the hard yards about it. Sorry if I sound a little harsh here, I’m trying to be supportive.

      The desire to “understand” or find meaning in our loved one’s behaviour (and “fixing” things for them) is very strong, but keeping on pushing might not be the best approach right now? Its been said here many times – a clean cut is the least painful & has a better chance of healing. Maybe sort out the shared finances for the short term then you request a complete break from communication with this person for a nominated period because this is what YOU need (try 3 months, it seems to be a turning point length of time) – texting, phone calls & email are def out. This will give you some time & space to let things settle without constantly being destabilised by his coming/going/breaking up/flirting. He may hate this. You may really benefit from it? It is not forever, just 12 weeks. Sometimes we need to take our own space. Good luck x

        Hi, CBA – you are really going through the wringer, aren’t you? I am sending so many good thoughts and positive feelings to you. I do concur that a quick cut is usually the best cut and as awful as that sounds, it does provide you with the ability to perhaps see clearly what needs to be addressed first in separating yourself from your former love. Do give yourself some time and gather the strength you need to address those tricky issues – like finances.

      Hi, CBA – sweetie, you really are going through the wringer aren’t you? I do echo that “quick cut is the best cut” truth. I am sending so many good thoughts to you during this most trying period. One of my favourite inspirational pieces comes from the Christian baptism service – fight the good fight, keep the faith, finish the race. It covers all the big issues – stay true to your ideals and be prepared to stand by them; maintain faith in yourself/your God/the universe and finish what you start be that a project, a relationship, your life.

      Good luck during the eclipse – stay strong.

      So sorry to hear that Champers. Blessings to you. Time to be very, very nice to yourself. Treat yourself like you would your best friend who had just broken up with her fiance. Book yourself a massage. Buy yourself some new shoes and clothes.

      Truth be known, he sounds like a bit of a cad. Even tho’ you are hurting, perhaps this is for the best. Would you REALLY want to marry someone who suddenly pulls the pin on the whole damn thing?

    The Greenridge PMT mix is genius. Think it is St Agnes in it? Vitex? Chaste Tree? I love that stuff. In fact, thank you for reminding me. PMT before Eclipses is like king tides…Way stronger than than the usual…

      Myst, i had pmt on my last holiday a few days before full moon eclipse – it was indeed like a king tide. I FELT it!!! Couldn’t wait to get home and back to my routine. Was not a good time for travelling that’s for sure.

      I have an abundance of earth planets in my chart so need routine to ground me.

      Feeling pretty happy right now. I think i will get through the next eclipse unscathed.

      But to answer your question about “pondering peeps who hate one thing” that definitely sounds like PMT to me. In my case i do the hating/seething. If someone pisses me off i’ll seethe for days and try really hard to stay away from responding to emails lest i say what i really think – which isn’t what i think at all, just my hormones taking over.

    My body’s gone spazzy, ear-ache after the flu – feeling nauseous, vertigo & in amazing pain, broke off fair chunk of tooth yesterday no pain there yet. Ingrown hair that’s somehow infected itself. Sheesh!

    It’s brought about an amazingly negative and downbeat mood. Usual cheerful optimism has disappeared so much so can’t seem to do any of the stuff I’m meant to be doing without wanting to just say “fuq it, fuq them, fuq it all”.

    Mystic, what a shite Leo fiend, what he only accepts wedding invites if he can pull? What happened to friendship. Low Leo example again, within 24 hours! Blame my idealistic fish rising but just can’t grasp that angle.

    Im fine, (said in a strong Seth Efrican accent) its every one else that’s totally losing it ! Im sleeping like a baby ?
    I have a question though?
    You know the theory, that when women live together they eventually start ovulating at the same time, or of course menstruating together. Is it true ? or just an urban myth?

      At uni in the 90’s we did cover that in i dunno psyche/sociol/anthro 101 or something, and the research supported it then – research carried out in the women’s colleges on campus at UQ.

            it works via touch … the dominant Alpha femme touches other women and passes on her whatevers .. pheremones I think. But yes david it definitely happens and is a survival mechanism left over from our tribal days. Better for women to be ovulating and hence getting pregnant around the same time in order to increase motivate to co-operate and share responsibilities in terms of child rearing

      It’s true Davidl. I even get in synch with my sister when we don’t live together if we are communicating lots. So weird.
      When i waitressed with 6 girls full-time in the late 90’s we all got in synch, we were peeved with who the leader was though – a Sagg who we didn’t really like but she was bossy and we followed her!

      I read somewhere that women in tribal times ovulated at the same time and this was the reason for the segregation/women’s time out. Women loved this time for secret women’s business and didn’t feel ostracised at all. It might have been in The Red Tent.

      happened in my all-female households over the years but only why not controlled by the Pill. took a few months to sync. a bit wierd. but that’s the power of the sisterhood isn’t it (that or hormones). but at least we vibed the same thing at the same time. i was reading a book called ‘alchemy for women’ at the time i started paying attentino to these things. interesting book…

      actually rephrase, pmt comes only when i’m feeling caged, i.e. no exercise or head space/time alone. If big build up/stressy stuff going on, then yes it happens, always know cause boobs feel like they’re gonna explode along with my mind/temper.

          also want to add that i haven’t had work dramas or PMS episodes – what i HAVE had is 2 amazing job opportunities twinkle at me – they are jobs at opposite ends of the spectrum – the decision on either is due at around the same time (end July). hard to know if one is a shoo-in though. the other one is i think.

            wow, that’s awesome UP!! Twinkling is good. I’m sure the eclipse will make the right choice for you. Ya just never know with an eclipse.

            No work dramas for me either – i LOVE my job!

            And the eclipse is doing it’s magic in my house of lurve according to the Astro Query. I like the sound of that. I am so due in that department. Thinking about it is definitely putting a spring in my step. :)

    Aqua Ramette and Aquavit: Me too, crazy dreams, really vivid about ex-lovers. Woke up quite shaken.

    Feel like I have been processing so much about past lovers and friends and all situations where I have no closure. I just realised that I don’t have closure with quite a few people.

    Eclipse in 11th/5th.

    One ex is driving me so mad by appearing in dreams so often lately and we’re all loved up (in the dream) so I looked up our synastry deets. My neptune conjunct his NN and his mars conjunct my NN. TWO NN conjunctions. 0-1 degree orb.

    I wish I could just forget him! In rational waking life, I know it would never work, but I still feel like it didn’t finish properly or we don’t have closure so I can’t forget him. Drives me mad.

    Processing, processing, processing.

    Also on eclipse last Monday had strange blood pressure and strained lymph drainage – was so agitated felt like I was expanding and pulsating. My uber-Cancer Mum had same experience and almost went to hospital but felt fine the next day.

      Interesting Lark & glad your okay. One time I had a huge lymph node as had spoken my truth to someone about how I perceived her to act unconsciously toward me for years and the next day or so, lymph node was huge.

      Something similar ex guy wise as well…

      In one part of my dream last night I heard “Fields of Gold” by Sting and awoke so listened to it. There were a couple of other songs but I can’t recall now as fell back to sleep. Should have written down, but Sting songs were big back in the day (90’s) of the bf.

      Knew the ex was “around” psychically the other day as physical reality gave me a few confirmations out of he blue. A patient was walking down the hall and had I not glanced up when I did, I would not have seen the back of his T-Shirt “The Marlin Bar” on Catalina Island off of Cali. coast. I’d bought the same T-shirt for the ex when I’d taken him to the island for his birthday in ‘05. There was one other thing but it eludes me just now.

      But yes, strange in the sense that it has been a very long time since I felt him around psychically. I was always given clues in my enviornment.

      soo many ex bf dreams. last night dreamt he emailed me. He declared when we broke up and even before, that he would never ever contact me again. Prik. Because that is how he deals with all his exes.

      Anyhoo taurus flatmate went ape this am because I went shopping for TP and toothpaste and dinner without her, did it during the thirty minutes i had between dropping off daughter at skool and going to see shrink. Said i should have picked her up and taken her, like i was being really thoughtless picking up some shopping. really trying hard not to get really angry, she could have said thanks for picking up some stuff, but just got pissed because she didn’t get to have a say in what i bought. arghghghghg!!!!!!!

    PMT…lived in a dorm with 30 women for a year in late 70’s.
    Yes, we synchronised, didn’t know much about how we tune in to ovulation
    then, but noticed the tension monthly. The most susceptible were Columbian
    women, they would throw chairs & uplift table to release!! Seriously.
    Awesome in their passion.One told me she got 3 years prison in Columbia
    for shooting her husband discovered i n bed with another woman, coz
    it’s a crime of passion not ‘murder’.

    So if you ever want to kill your spouse do it in Bogota?

      I just ran the chart of my Columbian patient yesterday! She IS FUNNY!! She’s the one who called the Klu Klux Klan, the KOO KOO KLAN….We still laugh about that one but no, don’t think I’d want to cross her either. She’s a psychic too and does the cards.

    Eclipse has put 3 close rele’s in hospital ICU. My Nana, my uncle from different sides of family both had heart attacks on 3rd July and hubby’s stepneice got menangitis on 7th . All recovering nicely though.

    Neice – FM eclipse in 6th conjunct Uranus/Neptune conjunction.
    Nana – FM eclipse conjunct IC (I think but seems to confirm corrected time of birth)

    Very weird, eclipse in my 2nd

        Good for you. I quit smoking and still going strong. Do want one when I have wine sometimes and DO want to slip out to the casino sometimes (where I smoked). Somehow I’m hanging onto my sanity and don’t want to break my record (sort of like a “no missed school days and gets a brownie button award” record).

        Huge good luck to you!! xo

    Champagne Bearing Aquarian – spooky!

    Just had another dream last night about another ex. He was all happy with his new girlfriend but had some t-shirts lying around the house with my last name on them, suggesting he wasn’t quite over me 100% just yet. Mmmm.

    About the Aries smoking thing, that is interesting. My friend is multiple Aries and smoked as a psychological aggro relief thing for 15 years multiple packs per day, sometimes woke up in the night just to have a cigg and then back to sleep. She quit at her Saturn Return (and booze).

    I have an Aries moon, and while I usually detest smoking, every year during the middle of summer, the heat activates the mad centre in my brain and I take up a spot of smoking. It provides mental relief in some way. Still trying to figure it out as is everyone around me who thinks I usually hate smoking :)
