With an Eclipse like this, there ought to be some Eureka Moments & as we’re talking about an Eclipse in energy conservative Capricorn, they can most likely be expressed in one sentence, sans waffle.

So, please feel free to share any Eureka Moments you have enjoyed over the last few days, if you can put them into one sentence. An explanation may follow the One Sentence, especially if it pertains to how your genius-attack fits the theme of Full Moon Eclipse in Capricorn.

Smarty-pants Astro-Fiends: feel free to fling in Lilith so close to the Moon, the trine from Saturn to the Moon & Mars sextile Uranus. It’s the latter that gives this Full Moon Eclipse that extra ZING of an emancipating breakthrough.

My One Sentence Eureka Realisation Du Jour: That it’s completely cool to think some people are idiots and not care if they like me or not.

Explanation: I KNOW this is ravingly obvious to a lot of people but my Libran Moon so wants to be liked by everyone & I can sometimes feel guilty (Saturn is currently opposing my Chiron, thank you) for not being Hay enough.

You know: “I give Joy, Warm Acceptance & Light to the World and it to me…” and my lilac aura swells with holistic hubris. But a certain variety of person has been absolutely weird & beastly to me of late, attempting to take my totally for a lend or whatever t.f. the cliche is AND as the Full Moon shone in my skylight the other night at about 3am, I suddenly thought “fuq it” – it’s fine to tell them to get stuffed…in my mind or otherwise.

Am sure you lot can be more concise in your one minute Eclipse Eurekas than I.

Lilith Conjunct The Full Moon Eclipse!

You know, i have been so busy that i only just now  noticed that Lilith is conjunct the Full Moon Eclipse in Capricorn. OR maybe i did  notice but got distracted. Or repressed the info. This is awesome though as it backs my vibe about this particular Eclipse being bitchy & not in a bad way.

I don’t mean go out there & be angry or mean-spirited. I mean getta grip & apply some positive, bitched up discrimination to areas of your life where maybe you HAVE been a bit slack, sentimental or generous with the benefit of the doubt.

Lilith is fascinating. You can check her our in your chart via the Extended Chart Options on Astrodienst & what is instructive is to compare her to your Venus & Moon. Is there a relationship? Lilith is the darker feminine, the pre-patriarchal Eve, first wife of Adam, one-time Snake Goddess relegated to demoness in the Christian pantheon.

She’s whom you call upon or the archetype that is active when one needs to survive ordeals such as abuse, sans help. She’s the original Bitch-Goddess & being activated right now. How to channel her productively?

Astro-Beauty: Raw Food & Polyphasics

Despite the Eclipse, my friend Aqua-Girl is loving her Polyphasic Sleep Cycling.  Appropriately, for a Full Moon in Capricorn, she says sleeping just a few hours a day has made her way more productive but with a few unexpected side effects.

(1) She only likes Raw Food now. (2) She has become obsessed with make-up in a way that she has never experienced in her life before. In one week of raw foods and polyphasic sleep cycling, she is like a devotee of extreme cosmetics, avidly seeking the advice of cosmetics professionals & trying on complicated but genius LOOKS.

Re the Raw Food thing – whenever i try it, i HATE it as I have genetics (German) that predispose me to potatoes & bread but i LOOK amazing on it. It’s unreal and a scene unto itself. Just like polyphasic sleep cycling.I got a raw food cookbook once that enslaved me with its evolutionary zeal and claims until i realised that to make half the stuff in there, i needed some sort of $1000 magic zilcher thing.

Raw Food does seem very Aqua & though it has been around since the 1930s – at least – when a Taurean nutritionist named Gaylord Hauser had Hollywood stars in thrall to  his eating, exercise & skincare regimes. Okay, so my theory is that Aquarius/11th House/Uranian types are way more likely to experiment with their food & sleep cycles. My Aquarius father was constantly tinkering with time and nutritional concepts.

Next to Aquarius would be Scorpio? Scorps are big into the macrobiotic, Tantric and kundalini end of things, which they then compensate with the occasional Neptunian binge-up of low-Qi toxins. And then, I think, Virgo. They’re not so bats or free-form as Aquarius or Aqua Types though. Virgo will pick one dictate – one nutritional school and follow it for a bit. Whereas Aqua alters the thing according to whim. Scorp wins for sheer bravery – nobody out-does Scorp at purgings, detoxings & committment.

Gemini + Sagg will eat weird & ethnic food but A.D.D. doesn’t allow for strange regimes. Aries thinks they’re inane. Taureans, Leo & Cancerians are too gourmet to give anything up. Librans & Pisceans will go on a regime for the sake of love or beauty but their heart is  not really in it & they’re far more likely to be devoted to some skin-care ritual though they DO become vitamin-addicts IF there is an anti-aging or sex angle.

Eclipse-O-Philia: Loving The Lunar Eclipse

July 7, 2009 in Full Moons, Moons by Mystic Medusa | 20 comments

I ought probably say “learning to love the Lunar Eclipse.” It’s in CAPRICORN so a bit bloody much to expect to actually “relax” and learn to love etc. T’is NOT the time to relax. And the non-stop flow of pragmatic real-life insights is a bit of a bother.

With this particular set-up, you paradoxically relax by embracing the work ethic & being a bit more savage in your thinking; not brutal nor cruel but a bit more hardcore selfish and sieving things through worldly realism. It will feel way better. And then you go back to being woo-woo later in the week as the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding Strikes again.

Remember that Eclipse Season (this one has three Eclipses) always reveal strongly what’s ending and what’s starting. By interfering in what’s ending, you stuff up the starts. Love the Lunar Eclipse by being clean, industrious and ultra-lucid in your judgements.  And keep scheming your way out of whatever mess you think you’re in – even as you bid a slightly teary farewell to elements of your paste/ye 0lde you/ex madness.

Eclipse Eve

You know, no doubt, of the “dark horse” cliche – this is more of a Dark Unicorn moment.

Seriously! Totally! I mean as in that one can attain a Unicorny degree of blameless clarity or even innocence/a fresh start feeling but it comes with a darker edge of self-knowing.

The Full Moon Eclipse in Capricorn is about neo-pragmatism – a feeling of foreboding that lifts the nano you face up to one icky fact or another and start to make cohesive plans. It’s like Saturn. Yes? So not a good time to float about being gaga & lazy or unrealistic. It’s all Earth-Earth-Earth so be grounded.

Yes, you have to work a BIT harder at firing  up the old self-belief as there is a paucity of Fire Sign action in the skies right now; you generate the heat from secret stores of Qi? But, as if to compensate, remember that Mars IS going to spend nearly NINE MONTHS in Leo from October…And some of that will include Uranus in Aries.

What will Uranus in Aries be like? I reckon it will be cool. This dude was born with Uranus in Aries & his generation produced some fantastic inventive peeps.

I did an extended rave re the Mars going Ape component of this Eclipse in Daily Mystic & the Scopes but in short; stay pragmatic & evolving even as some super-sensitive areas are tweaked. Sensational psych dreaming.

Weekend Mash-Up, Uranus Retro & Aqua Girl

How was your weekend?!  Mine was excellent though to back to back socialising did in my Sunday & I totally Zen-Slothed.

In my Sunday evening trackies & with my daughter in the suddenly torrential rain, we schlepped past an impromptu Michael Jackson Tribute Street Party – was gorgeous. About 50 people all dancing to really well-mixed MJ. And they were good dancers.  What interested me most is that there were teens through to 60-ish year olds, people who were clearly professional dancers & others who were just picking up on the moves they did at their school formal once upon a time. And the kids krumped.

Uranus is in utter sl0-mo, practically at a standstill, getting set to turn Retro on Weds, just as Venus squares everything in sight. I know I said this last week but – again – it is not a good time to try and control other peeps. Especially Aquarians & Pisceans, also Taurus & Libra…They’re individuating to the max.

It IS a brilliant time to be your own unique yourself, live & let be. Vary your routine. Ditch the obligatory shit – where you can – whilst also honouring the Eclipse-Season Get Real vibe.  The Eclipse (15 Capricorn) is in my 12th  house so my practical resolution is to meditate properly. But remember that the Uranian vibe adds a zany zing to the atmosphere & that not everyone channels Uranian Qi as well as – say -  you or I might.

Don’t bait the crazies. Stay serene & nourish thy nervous system.

My friend Aqua-Girl – who is probably the ultimate Aquarian female in many ways – has announced she is going into “poly-phasic sleep cycling” in the next month. Hence her social availability will be limited and she is totally off coffee and sugar. “A lot of big people do it,” she said breezily. “Richard Branson, Buckminster Fuller…”  I can’t remember the other names.

What it is: you sleep for only two hours a day so that you have 22 hours a day of total productivity. How you do it; You train yourself to sleep – zapping straight into REM – for 20 minutes every two hours. She may or may not use her lucid dreaming goggles during this time. Aqua-Girl sends men crazy. I see it all the time. She has waist length blue black hair and has that sort of archetypal delicate Asian lotus flower look.

But she is a multiple conjunct Aquarian and completely bats. She does nude hiking and surfing, djs, goes straight from a ten day Silence Retreat to clubbing, is an excellent mother to her two daughters & is currently dating a much younger nanophysicist whom she made go to relationship counselling two weeks after they met. Just to tweak a few things.

I think i would go ravingly nuts if I tried polyphasis sleep cycling. I did it by default when my children were babies and it did  not seem to produce the sharpened mind and sudden ability to become an awesomely productive mogul & guru.

Full Moon Eclipse

And so we are just now ten days away from the exact Full Moon — a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of the Sea-Goat. Eclipses are like hyperbolic Full Moons, especially if they are close to a sensitive point in your chart. This one is at 15 Capricorn so affecting whatever you’ve got at or aorund 15 degrees and particularly the Cardinal signs; Aries, Libra, Kataka & obviously, Capricorn.

July 22 – the Solar Eclipse New Moon is the biggie though. An ultra-sonic fresh start. My idea for an Eclipse ritual to do with this one: Given that it is in Capricorn and there is an innovative Mars-Uranus sextile operating at the same time…Whatever comes up with this Moon, you have to sit down and do a totally Capricornian coup of control over it. Whatever emerges, you do an action plan & it’s got deadlines, goals etc. Action-action-action. And you aim to have a ‘review’ of the action plan just before the Solar Eclipse New Moon.

Of course, if nothing comes up &  you’re kinda just cruising along feeling fabulous, try and get in some beneficial Moon-bathing. Note also that the two weeks post this Full Moon and before the next New Moon are a stronger Dark Moon than usual. More of an emo undertow but also a powerful time to get rid of stuff.
