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.

*Miss- tic* Hope you enjoyed your time off!
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? 🙂
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… Read more »
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.
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… Read more »
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… Read more »
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!!
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… Read more »
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?!
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… Read more »
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,… Read more »
Lol there were heaps of warnings about that Eclipse…I actually had some really beautiful realizations in amongst the grottier bits…
my liver was eclipsed.
but discussions with adorable Unpredictable Virgo g/f over oysters and ..whatever else did help with ze realisations
The eclipse of the liver…. yes I felt that the next day. Really powerful 😛
Beautiful new year- it did bring up emotions that I still can’t quiet make out what it all means. Talk about grey area…..
the eclipse? r u f’ing kidding me?
can’t even talk….
no warning
f’ing huge
f’ing intense
get me a gun
f u!
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.
f u 2
hhahaha thanx needed that, I gotta retire from
too much powerful force
I cant handle the truth
not this anyway
like
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
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… Read more »
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.
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… Read more »
sounds sensible to me whatever!
*crash-tackle hugs Mystic*
yes of course we missed you but i was too drunk to think about it for a couple of days there xxx 🙂
I second that.
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… Read more »
of course we missed you Mystic!!!! Like Tati said, we’ve been quite active here while you were away. There’s heaps of comments on the “Ace This Emo Eclipse” post about how missed you were.
Anyway, good to see you back! xxx
Hey did anybody miss me???
YES WE MISSED YOU LOTS!!!! have you noticed we were on this site even though you were allegedly not posting??? xxx
YES!! 😯
But was totally being cool about it y’know…. 8)
darling Mystic, you were with us the whole way through, weren’t you? I’d have missed you if I couldn’t see your status updates on facebook or been able to pop by here for the blogs… I hope you had a chance to relax and enjoy your hols though xx
OMG WTF OF COURSE WE BLOODY MISSED U! WAT KINDA STUPID QUESTION IS THAT! MY GOD! lol mystic we missed u heaps!
yes I had to work that crap out myself it took nearly 2 days if you had been around you would’ve conveniently posted something bang on and appropriate within seconds of my emo dam breaking and I would’ve thought ha! that was easy peasy of course that’s what’s happening but instead I spend nearly 2 days going WTF just happened determined to find out and it probably made me appreciate the answer a whole lot more cos I found it myself and it really rang true once I did and I feel like doing it myself was important but life… Read more »
of course darlink 😉 xxx
MYSTIC!!!! I was logging in every five minutes just to see if you’d changed your mind or had any important insights that we all needed to know immediately!!! This is practically my home page!
*thunk* goes head on desk – like you would not believe – yay for constant amazing conversations on your site! Kept me sane – ish….
Thanks Mystic, its been awesome. All the insights make sense, so much sense.
You’re a cougar whaaaA??? heheh
HAPPY 2010 XX
tati sweetheart, what kind of hormones?? horny ones? raging-I’m-gonna-kill-any-man-who-mentions-menstruation type nasties?? or just those annoying ones that cause all carbs to become instant cellulite??
it looks like you ‘ve enjoyed a great holiday/ny/eclipse anyway 🙂
just breathe honey,
passing the EPO
xx
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… Read more »
OMG new years eclipse was spastic!
Mum went all maternal protector on us! – we had family friends over which was hilarious coz all the adults somehow got drunk off a very little amount and us teen were just watching “the hangover” (movie!)
BTW couldnt help but notice the incription on the stone the lady in the pic is laying on – Guarda che (la) luna – is also a song the debuts in the AMAZING MOVIE – NINE- sung by Sophia Loren… soz me and my friends CANT WAIT TO SEE IT!
hey matty I hope your aunt + one is feeling better & that all is well there.
thanks whatever – YES THEY’RE BOTH GOOD NOW! its been a VERY VERY LONG WEEK! My aunty is all good now and the baby – dispite being 13 weeks PREM IS A REAL CAPRICORNIAN FIGHTER!! already growing fast! Baby Gabriel after the archangel of good news!
Just did the baby’s astro chart!
Capricorn with an Aqua ascendant
5 planetary conjuction in 11th house (cap – saggo)
Uranus conjuct moon in pisces – A PSYCIC BABY! GONNA LOVE THE CONVO’S I HAVE WITH HIM!
is that you FireTrine?
Congrats for baby birth, and yeah is that you Firetrine?
ah no, I think that’s matthew – you can tell by the yelling : o) his aunt gave birth to his cousin prematurely a few posts back.
I’m sure he’ll LOVE the convo’s he has with you too honey – how could he not?
yes its ME! soz i think i forgot to log in! aww thanks whateva!
congrats !!!! Gabriel is a fantastic name. Love it. Just wonderful!
Hahahahahaha!! No, still gestating here.
Fantastic sounding baby there Matthew – shout that good news to the tree tops!!!
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. 😥 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… Read more »
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…. 🙂
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… Read more »
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… Read more »
here here prowln darling… 2009 sucked dogs balls, big hairy smelly sweaty ones. I too am glad to put the entire decade behind me and move forward. finances, career and relationships eh? I have been working on my ‘inner self’ in order to improve these ‘outer’ things for so long now I ought to be fuqing multimillionaire with the world’s greatest husband. I am oh so slightly bewildered as to why it isn’t so. ah well, I will raise a cup of organic peppermint tea to a healthier and wiser 2010/decade for us all, at least these are things which… Read more »
nice to see you TA – can I make mine a vodka though?
yes vodka with a peppermint sprig
or you could try putting this in a blender, ice, vodka, lychees, mint…blend and when you pour into your glass top it off with a cap full of bombay gin…somehow it needs the herbal gin flavours to truly dance in your mouth.
i don’t normally drink but that sounds yummy!
DITTO ‘goodbye decade’ – clear the decks & spring forth afresh!!
xox 😉 xox
no carbs as such but I was drunk as fuq. thus no eating for about 2 days afterwards while I recovered.
a top-quality girlfriend came to visit however so we made sure of the relaxing at home and yes, many insights – still coming – which is nice…
got a confession of “interest’ though, vaguely remembered amidst the drunken haze, from a double pisces. not interested right now, i am sorry to say. I was mute in response to his confession. oh well that’s what you get boyo.
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.
🙂
hi TA, nice to see you here!
yes it is good to take a holiday from one’s own issues and just put it all in the “deal with this some other time if at all” basket. some things just work themselves out don’t they?
or at least they don’t suffer from *less* analysis 🙂
x
here’s to that TA … I’m sick to death of the friggin inner growth cycles too.
me too!!
me three!! Am a total hate machine. I have a job interview tomorrow and got sent through a ‘small’ writing tak, which is condensing 3 pager of rambling to a focused 340 word script. I am working till midnight and my interview is a 11am tomorrow morning. I went and had a cry in the toilets. Was really hoping that I would land this job… but that seemed to have evaporated. Niether xmas nor New years were horrible… there were fights… but less than usual. Feel like a fat frumpy, event hough i have been doing an hour of exercise… Read more »
*hug*
*hug* from me too
*Group HUG*
awww… you guys:)
*hugs for everyone*
did your interview go okay?
There was smiling and nodding. Lots of smiling and nodding. apparently I did very well on the writing task. they really like my effort.
Will hear back next week… *finger crossed*
I’d love a holiday away from it all too! Love the book title – have written it on my ever evolving list of things to read….
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!
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… Read more »
“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… Read more »
sorry to hear your xmas etc was less than soothing pomoscorp, sounds full on. i hope you get a bit of rest and breathing space to wallow/sleep or whatever makes you feel better now all the official forced celebrations are over.
jeez doll that’s hardcore. hang in there x
I’m hanging on, thanks for the kind words, just wish I could pack up and run away…
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….
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… Read more »
LOL re (unintentional) irony in the exfoliants & shedding skin/s!! xox
hmm I wonder if two of my rellies thought it unintentional when they received jute body mits and nice italian vege soap.
Sagg daughter was troubled that she received pumice stone from me, and foot care from aqua daughter. We assured her it was just that as she was on her feet all day we thought she could do with some supportive soothing tools.
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… Read more »
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… Read more »
Blue Libra that is so intense. Hugs. Glad you are able to emerge after such a hardcore time. Will’s and money via blood can get so nasty and painful that leave permanent scars.
Will do re nurturing xox
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… Read more »
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.
” slough off the shite…”
I must procure an enormous quantity of exfoliant, and mindfully and symbollically slough away post haste.
Spent NYE watching The Wizard of Oz movie on tele with my 3 yr old…says it all really! Hubster has been away working so I have had bonus time to reflect, retreat & dream. My vege patching is thriving & my little world is well, its the big world picture that I have issues with…
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… Read more »
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.
well done libran dreamchild- those hash browns are almost impossible to resist!
