Apres Eclipse Analysis

Miles Aldridge

So, happy New Year & all that – how was your Full Moon Eclipse?

Is everyone three kilograms heftier and imbued with a quite a few fresh emotional understandings or is that just me?

Classic Cancerian Eclipse Full Moonie themes:  awareness of residual feelings, homeland, insights into what gives you the heebie-jeebies and why, parenting-birth-fertility issues and ideas, urge to meditate, flashes re your personal history, clucky or reappreciating your children more, security concerns, emo flashpoint style domestics anywhere there is unresolved merde, bonding between women or with the mother, a bit of productive hypochondria, carbophilia beyond even the seasonal demands, sacred laundering, artistic validation, major rad spiritual realisations and someone has to bung  on a bit of pass-agg crap.

It’s been fab & all but bring on the Moon in Virgo – non?

Oh all right, the lessons learned over the last week just have to be synthesized & absorbed because they are fab…And the  more you assimilate them over the next few weeks of Mercury Retrograde, the fresher a vital new start you score with the New Moon Eclipse on Jan 15. Wallow a bit now, slough off the shite & emerge more gleaming & potent than ever v.soon.

    full moon eclipse was fantastic – honestly the best new year’s I’ve had in quite some time though am more than ready to get back on the wagon before my body loses all muscle mass and the only thing i can think of doing is “eat turkey” “eat chocolate” “is there any cake left?” etc.

    Woke up this morning thinking… hmmmm, bacon and egg mcmuffin with hash brown for breakfast? NO !

    happy new year.

    i thought i had it all planned- avoiding crowds, perfect healing night organised to bring the eclipse in tres concious etc…but the drama found ME :/

    ugh. it was horrible!

    BUT…i reluctantly admit that the emotional landscape was shaken radically in the direction of growth, and i have learned so much in the last few days about myself and relating. plus, it only blew up a situation that obviously needed blowing up…
    YES i am about 3 kilos heavier too…i feel like a big mama. havent even been indulging in carbs, just seems to have emerged as a layer of protective tyre-ing around my middle. sigh. Am very happy to learn of moon in virgo today, because im starting boot camp, and getting my shite together.

    I had a really interesting NYE regarding emotions…. after two years of agonising silence and trying to ignore each other at special occasions, me and my ex are talking again. It feels like the eclipse was an “end” to the anger and hurt feelings, but not necessarily our friendship, or even our relationship. It was quite subtle…… no massive emo drama, it was just like we realised that each other existed again. It was nice. The eclipse was conjunct my descendant, trining Pluto and sextiling Venus.

    thanks for putting into words my classic cancerian time MM and I was hanging out with a crab who of course went hiding in his shell – as you would but he came out eventually in a loving kid of way coz he knew he needed my leo sunniness to shine a light on his moddiness. Lovd every moment tho coz it was a gentle kind of realisations. Also keeping in touch with this blog kept it all real as I could see what others were going through and felt like i was sharing it with them.
    Also 6 Happy NYE texts from obshure poepl not in my immediate orbit but lovely to realise I have a larger orbit then I though.
    We’re all connectd some how.

    I had prepped but my area of merde was way off.

    This eclipse was huge for our family but I feel I did ace it. Not an obvious choice of manifestation considering. The rifts got bigger and more aggressive but my personal bonding was healing and I was supportive, esp on all the 8th house inheritance, passed family and war’ing factions due to will angst. There is nothing like an obvious assessment of your standings with people when you watch them fight over money, esp family money. This has been an on going thing unfolding over time but I was able to be part of the insights and healing with others pain.

    On more personal level I was able to bond with both parents re family of origin, esp Ma who is now delving country of origin with a family tree and that missing land from a will they hid from her. Pa gave me old photos and a million bits of info to start my family tree his side. That and my first fam xmas since 2001 going hometown and mending fences. That and the fire- it was eventful.

    I have emerged knowingly with honest raw truth about loyalty, love of the blood kind and when you have to let it go, my place in the family and permission to not let it fuq me up in future.

      Dear Ms. Your posting sounds very like my experience re: 2000 when my Dad (whom I never had a good relationship with) drowned and my family went berko the proceeding twelve months. A woman from Manilla emerged from the woodwork with a marraige certificate and sister and I lost over a quarter of a million in inheritance. Being the eldest I was left to pay for the funeral as said manilla woman then dissappeared – with the executor of our dads will. Anyway… by the end of the year my sister had a nervous breakdown and I had pneaumonia. The only way we recovered was to retreat, from each other and our families. My sis has slowly and successfully reintergrated with the fam and is very happilly married to a lovely calming man. Myself – well I guess I’m JUST beginning to reconnect to my family – thanks to the internet.

      Nuture yourself is all I can say. And take your time.

    Wow – can I have that woman’s frock / sheet or whatever she’s wearing? GREAT colour! Happy New 2010 Mystic and astro fiends. My NYE was mellow – both my children were ill so I had to stand down from active stand-by for my brigade. The Gemini keeps popping up via sms or email every now and then – messing with my head!!!! And my beloved Piscean fire fighter moves far away down to the Adelaide plains this Friday…. We will stay in touch but it won’t be same… changes changes.

    So I AM FOLLOWING YOUR ADVICE MYSTIC AND KEEPING BUSY – Feng Shuing my entire house and the garden. Have done my bedroom, my daughters bedroom and my sons. Have cleaned out my massage treatment room and am in the middle of installing a new (salvaged) kitchen complete with french doors over-looking my deck which features various items of hot pink.. solar chinese style lanterns, flowers, glittery sarongs etc. Yesterday I bought myself a new hammer because my floral one broke a while ago – THIS ONE IS REAL and I think there is something quite symbolic in that… Am also seeking hypno-therapy as to why I’m attracted to emotional unavailable men.. and am contemplating whether I can afford to do the power of humanity Red Cross Walk in Alice Springs mid August…

    Happy new year to one and all….This has been an uncomfortable couple of months leading up to the eclipse with a stellium of planets in cancer opp Pluto and square Saturn, but when it finally peaked there was huge breakdown/breakthrough, healing strained relations with a woman friend and by my opening up and allowing myself to be vulnerable, sharing some deep, long held merde with a male friend. Feeling pounds lighter in spirit, if not in body, which needs the new cardio twister I ordered as a prezzie to myself….

    “emo flashpoint style domestics anywhere there is unresolved merde” – well I had no idea there was unresolved merde, but apparently there was something for my mother, which devolved into massive domestic and I ended up tossing my dinner in my mothers lap in sheer frustration and hurt and sleeping on the concrete floor at my dads.
    After the sadness of losing a friend so close to xmas, this just tipped me over, and I spent all day yesterday on my bed. Finally resorting to sleeping pills to get me through the night. I feel like there is a film between me and the world, and I hate it.
    I had so thought I’d doen the right things for New Year, 3 women, relaxing over wine and curry, listening to music and talking, home by 1, sleeps etc. Then more gentle time with family – and some time with the mother of my friend who died, then whammo, we saw some children mum has missed in the last 12 months, and the emo hit her – and the knives came out later, and lucky me, I was in the firing line.
    I might take the hypochondriac line…….

    Happy New Year everyone! 8)

    Wow what a festive season that was! I actually lost 3 kilos not because I was severely hungover & couldn’t keep anything down but because I kept up with exercising, ate pudding in moderation & meditated everyday. I ditched all my plans on catch ups with peeps & quietly retreated to reflect on the year just leaving.
    I enjoyed my time with the aqua & it was the best time we have had together all year. We just hung out playing nintendo wii & relaxed apart from the fierce competition. Lol. We even spent NYE organising our finances so we could spend more time this year doing what makes us happy.
    Last year was so heavy financially that this year I wanted to be more organised & have things in place rather than just worry about what if ‘this’ happens. 8O

    I had a fabulous & somewhat Neptunian New Year’s festivity, and am still getting grounded again. Realisations over the eclipse season were related to doing my best re the things I can control… and letting go of the other stuff. I am over Saturnian doubt & depression, ready for some Plutonic/Uranian Phoenixing for sure!

    le eclipse was 1/7th house axis for me… actually Mystic I gave up all carbs and sugar the day after xmas on account of reading the book ‘Sweet Poison, How Sugar is Making Us Fat’ and have been in benign dietary ketosis ever since, shedding aprx 3kg. (2 more to go before I am rid of last year’s emo eating post CUB’s torture)..

    ….as for insights etc, when will it ever end??? I am SO over myself and my ‘issues’ I am for taking a holiday from it all.

    All I can say is thank christ that god awful fuqing year is over. I mean I tried to stay positive throughout but in retrospect I feel free now to say it was complete shite. I DID do a lot of housecleaning though – emotionally and psychologically, then there was also the 2 month health junket. But I haven’t seen any reward or real change occur due to any of that, so still left wondering if it was worth the effort. Only time will tell I suppose. I’m not surprised by end of Nov I was going totally AWOL. New Year’s was just quietly emo by comparison.

    Be interesting to see if 2010 brings any tangible improvement particularly in the area of finances, career and relationships. I mean even an upswing in just one of these areas would be acceptable considering all three seemed to be going backwards last year.

    hey. thought I had the eclipse thing aced, was floating along on a salt sea of caaalm etc, all good, can handle everything! and then the hormones hit today. GAH. Delayed Eclipse Syndrome, or Smuggus Scorpicus. :cry:
    On the plus side, I fenged my living spaces to within an inch of their shui and gave away and sold heaps of stuff and got all sorts of stuff done and organised during my smug productive period.
    NYE party was fine – we thought of work-arounds for all major and minor mishaps and things forgotten, and had a great party, loads of peeps turned up. A very sure-of-himself young man decided he would kiss me, numerous times, but by that stage I was somewhat tired and inebriated, not to mention not especially impressed with his rather arrogant attitude (not my type, but however twas flattering) so I smiled enigmatically (or probably crookedly, by that stage) and sent him on his way. Boy that I was hoping might arrive did not turn up – but rang after I had called it a day at a v late hour, however I did not answer. Now sorta wishing I had, although was v much the worse for wear by that stage.
    Called him back couple days later, long histoire but basically something of a brush-off I think. It’s fairly hard being friends with benefits when you neither see your friend nor get any benefits :(
    anyway, looking forwards to being productive virgo-type over the next 2 weeks and pumping through the work, which I’m doing already. I am so OVER men. or not, which is the problem lol

    1. bluelibra’s avatar

      am with you on the ‘friends with benefits when neither friendly or beneficial’ and being ‘over men. or not.’ Which is seriously My problem. Have been trying to channel all yearning onto Brit actor David Tennant instead – because at least he is safely impossibly beyond reach and won’t hurt me. I can just happily pretend to be his companion…. :)

      Reply

      1. tati’s avatar

        Not a bad approach. The effectively made-up crushes are helpful in that way because you can give them qualities that you want to see in a man and help you actually figure out what you will & won’t put up with, in a safe imaginary environment!

        Think part of my problem with this one is that the long periods of unavailability and the fact that I don’t have control and I’m not doing the pursuing (all different from my prev relationships), means that I have effectively in my mind started treating this boy like a crush object, ie thinking about him all the time, making him seem better than he is etc, like a teenager with a boy band or something. So I’m not treating him in my mind like a regular person (even though I am aware of his faults)

        Will leave you to ponder David Tennant’s sonic screwdriver lol. He did have a lovely male companion too – Captain Jack. I feel the scriptwriters didn’t develop the relationship nearly as much as they could have ;)

      taurean alchemist – the monthly emo weepie wring-you-out ones tha make you want to stop eating and waft about the house like Ophelia or a teenage goth or Miss Havisham, which scares me a little.

      Yes on balance all is positive and I am feeling so much better than a few months – even a few weeks ago. Breathing is a very sensible idea (even if a fair bit of it today has been done with the aid of cigarettes). thanx for the virtual EPO, much needed. burning the vetiver & lavender oils. guess being stupidly emo is part of being a scorpio – something to do with water and tides, or possibly being frustrated at not being able to bend people to my evil will.

    I’m still on holiday, kinda, or at least not at home. but have come in to uni today to try to work, or at least get some space from all the people and act like things are more normal (i.e. me faffing about in front of a computer all day). I’m not sure I can draw too many conclusions yet re any learning, feel like its hard to process when outside of my home/comfort zone. And most of it seems like the same old shite I’ve been telling myself to do/get over etc for the last six months. I second (third/fourth?) the being over over-analysis thing. It’s getting boring. I’m looking forward to getting home and being able to launch myself into a working frenzy. In the meantime only a few more days of being back in past life (city where i used to live) to get through.

    Yeah mine was that the longer you spend helping everyone else the longer you put off being able to express your true potential and that’s when it becomes necessary to start saying NO to people no matter how unused they are to hearing it. Even if it isn’t their fault that they need you. Similar to birds turfing chicks out of the nest. I was already in the process of doing stuff for myself but the revelation that I have to stop doing things for others will make a whole lotta space in the schedule for me. Yes, it’s all about me. What of it?

    Of course you were missed Mystic, and appreciated your appearing saying, I’m not really here. Hoot.

    I think I’ve learnt stuff…but am feeling a bit of sickofthinkingaboutwhatitallmeans-itis.

    Am presently mulling over either going to live in the rainforest and just walk up and down mountains for a month, or walk up and down Japanese, German mountains or through fields of green Ireland style. Theme is walking somewhere other than here. Scheme is making it happen. I see all of this happening about March 15. Well the cherry blossoms are winning for that date anyways. May do the rainforest in preceding month.

      The blossoms come out the week after Mars goes direct? That seems virile even for flowers.

      Looking back over the last few years it looks like some time after March 15 could be a good time for me to go look at the blossoms…mind you there are many other things I can do before and or after too…am still in I think I can make this work, seguing into are there advantages to alternate schemes mode.

      Maybe the eclipse was about getting your own f’ing gun – metaphorically speaking of course.

      You CAN get through it whatever it is William – you’re smart and have a strong sense of your spiritual self – drop the bucket down into that well and draw on it – own it.

          That’s a relief – I was hoping I wasn’t about to inadvertently incite some kind of columbine re-enactment.

          What’d you see? Or is it weird & private? Bigger than all of us?

          If it gets too freaky go eat something potato and salt oriented. Salt is key.

            I learned about salt during a chakra realignment study…
            chakras themselves can get out of balance..
            sulphur, salt, mercury balance… was noteworthy I was low on
            salt yes…hot peppery foods also…
            I think you can do it meditatively,.. imagining salt in a particular
            chakra… (chakra’s amazing…)
            (I’m aries so talk shite, pay no mind..)
            just a mode of swearing

        The eclipse of the liver…. yes I felt that the next day. Really powerful :P

        Beautiful new year- it did bring up emotions that I still can’t quiet make out what it all means. Talk about grey area…..

    Hey everyone, aren’t we so fortunate to have each other? and Mystic who makes it all happen?
    I spent time with old friends over new year but was hit from outfield and went into freeze mode.
    Then a friend from way back wanted to see me so i rang the number given to me by mutual old friend.
    It was so wonderful to talk and it made the sideswipe of the days before Xmas so minor. I felt valued again.
    Awful things come and then they go, if you wait long enough. It seems we all go through rotten stuff, but we can be so much stronger from surviving it and SHARING it. I acknowledge all your pain and you do the same. We are all in the same little bubble. You are all valuable to me.

    blessings on all of you. xxxx

    omg. i know there were plenty of warnings about the eclipse and i thought i was prepared and decided to forgo big parties and bars and just spent the night with a few close friends watching tv and chatting. but damn, it still hit me hard. i spent three days crying for no discernible reason. i was like a zombie and nobody could talk to me. i thought about things i didn’t even know i had to think about.

    thankfully, though, i’m fine now. even though it was awful, i feel like i worked through some really important issues and identified a lot of areas in my life that were causing displeasure. and now i’m ultra-motivated to change them all. so i guess it was all needed.

    still, though. wow. i was not prepared for that.

    My eclipse was lovely. After a drought of 18 months, met a gorgeous woman and exchanged tender kisses. Am kicking myself though. Didn’t get her number nor give her mine. How stupid is that?!

    Festive Season sucked for me big time.
    3 days before Christmas day Mac hard drive blows =$$$
    Christmas Day = booze, food, booze, booze.
    Boxing Day= Daughter leaves for 3 weeks with ex and new wife.
    31st Dec= Aqua interest sends text to say ex wants them to get back together!….might add, this is the first male since spilt with ex I’ve been even slightly interested in..and it’s been 3 years since spilt.
    NYE=booze,weeping,booze,weeping,weeping.
    AND, 2009 was going to be the year of the root for me…..didn’t happen.

    Right now, I couldn’t give a fuq about anything….no virgoness going on here..

    I enjoyed NY as I was asleep! Nothing more dramatic than a lovely storm happened outside the house. Internal storms did relate to Cancerian sis which have bothered me for evah, but seemed hightened. But in the final weeks of pregnancy, all emotions are hightened by PAIN. I think I was more excitable and nutting leading up to NYE than during/after, I couldn’t stop checking this blog and being totally OCD!!

    Had to deal with some incredibly pass-agg shite…not on NYE but over the holiday in general. It fits in with this eclipse too: old drama from over a year and a half ago being stirred up by the very people who caused it all, only the problem is they’ve managed to convince a mutual friend, formerly neutral but closer to us, to take their side. It at least seems like it…this turncoat friend is now trying to meddle and make us be friends again with these toxic people…all while being weird and standoffish to us. SO aggravating. But further supports our 2009 goal to remove ourselves from this drama-filled clique of people who don’t’ want to grow up.

    With my Mars and Venus in Cancer, I think the Cancerian moon eclipse hit me HARD. Went from stating emphatically that I never want kids to delberately trying to get preggers THREE times, plus carbo-loading, cookies and cake for breakfast and only 1 workout. So yes, a bit fatter, but then I changed my hair color and got nails and eyebrows done yesterday and today am recommitted to punishing anti-candida diet. But ready and eager for it!

    One thought about pass-aggro eclipse merde: have been battling for several days now over whether or not to confront the turncoat friend about all this. Thoughts?

      I have this issue with the Cancer Sis (she does not to join the Kataka club yet, grr). I read that one should absolutely break negative contracts one has
      with people as by continuing them you are harming yourself. HOWEVER, it has to be done with love and compassion or not at all. Arrrggg. So I have held on to my bile for two years as I am not capable of the love and compassion right now.

      Well – then she calls me up and tells me to be more restrained in my expression with my mother. I was champing at the bit, it seemed an invitation really as I have been restraining myself from having it out with her for so long! But I didn’t – I set out a clear statement of who I was which will no doubt be a preamble to this TALK which will inevitable come.

      Good luck with the preggers thing! I have Uranus in the 7th and was totally freedom addicted all my life, but having kids was freeing of my emotions in a really surprising way.

    Yeah, thanks! What’s weird is I STILL don’t know if I want kids or not. If they come, my boyfriend and I will fully embrace it, I would just hope I wouldn’t be too freaked-out about the mega-life change.

    I hear you, FireTrine, about breaking negative contracts. I have done that with many people already…problem is I didn’t always do it in the most loving way. So it’s given me a bit of a negative rep. If I confront the disloyal friend, I risk adding to that negative perception of me. So it’s very tricky.

    I find myself wanting to just disappear, but it’s with sort of a pass-aggro spirit, like THAT will show ‘em! Ugh….evolving is hard!

      Too true – you sound like you know what you are doing. Perceptions are a hard one, but if you are honest and loving as can be, then people around usually see that in the end I find. It’s hard being a strong person, evolving in the right way, you are so right… Then add a dose of pregnancy hormones and protective tendencies to that cocktail!! You hear that? That’s the sound of negative contracts breaking around you like rice bubbles… Worth every snack, crackle and pop none the less.

    Nice to see everyone still alive.

    That eclipse was like a sucker punch to the solar plexus. I’m a little bit leery about how it seems to be gone so fast….. I’m looking over my shoulder…..

    Did Mystic coming back scare it away? :)
