Eclipses on January 5 and January 21, 2019
Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following eclipses will have a major impact on you.
The first eclipse on January 5 is taking place in the sign of Capricorn (big business). The second Eclipse on January 21 takes place in Leo (the leaders) and Aquarius (the outsiders and revolutionaries).
The ancients believed that during an eclipse,” the mighty will fall". They believed that rulers are born or die at the time of eclipses. President Trump was born on a Lunar Eclipse in 1946, Prince William was born on a Solar Eclipse in 1982 and Princess Diana died on a Solar Eclipse in 1997. The energy from an eclipse can last up to six months and also become active up to a month before the actual eclipse.
They bring endings and beginnings, births and deaths.
Partial Solar Eclipse on January 5 at 15 degrees of Capricorn
This eclipse will be visible in Europe, Asia, and Australia
Solar Eclipses tend to relate to sudden events that disrupt our day to day functioning; they are the crisis that seems to come out of nowhere and that suddenly demand all of our conscious attention and focus. They tend to stir things up on a physical and conscious level much more than Lunar Eclipses.
This eclipse started to be felt on Dec 5.
Capricorn rules big business and it is conjunct Saturn which rules Capricorn so also rules business and conservatism. This eclipse is also sextile to Neptune which softens the effect of this Eclipse.
A solar eclipse is a powerful new moon so make plans for the future. Set your intentions during this eclipse. The plans for the future should include Capricorn themes-- property, land, finances, and success in business. Also, getting grounded and organized in your daily routines. This is an ideal time to make a fresh start. This could be a time of achievement and recognition during the 6 months following this eclipse. Because Neptune is also included in this eclipse, it is an excellent time for musicians and artists to organize and get serious about producing their work. Neptune can also lead to a deeper understanding of your spiritual goals.
Total Lunar Eclipse on January 21 at 0 degrees of Aquarius/Leo.
A Lunar Eclipse can make us more aware of our patterns, and our unconscious motivations. They can bring up old memories and feelings. On a Lunar Eclipse, something will end and on a Solar Eclipse, something will begin. A Lunar Eclipse is an opportunity to break habits or eliminate socially conditioned patterns of thought and behavior that stand in the way of self-realization.
Full moon eclipses can bring things to completion that you have been working on. The Sun opposite the Moon lights up the Moon and brings previously unexamined areas of your life into awareness. Repressed energies emerge for confrontation and resolution. Pay attention to your dreams. Lunar Eclipses are more emotional than Solar Eclipses.
This eclipse on January 21 will affect two signs – Aquarius and Leo. Aquarius wants to belong to groups that are working to save the world. Leo wants to work on their close personal relationships. This eclipse is about connecting to a greater purpose than self. This brings in activist energy. The inter-relationship between these two signs mirrors the inter-relationship each of us has with our urge to be accepted into the larger society and contribute to that collective unit via our personally generated creative expression.
As I write this, Uranus ruler of Aquarius is very active in revolutionary movements in Britain and France. But these are the last aspects to be in Aquarius until the next 19 years. The eclipse pattern will settle down into Cancer (the family) and Capricorn (business) until Nov 2020.
Also, Uranus is now in Aries, giving a lot of energy to revolutionary fever. On March 6, 2019, he moves into Taurus for 7 years. He is will still be a revolutionary, but in Taurus, he will to rebel against the banking system and reform real estate and property.
How will these eclipses affect you?
Eclipses are contrary to the status quo. If impacted by one of these eclipses, your life will not run on the same track it has been on. But that can be a good thing. Some view eclipses as release and renewal points. If your birthday falls on or is close to the dates of an eclipse your life will change dramatically in the months and years ahead. An eclipse is more powerful if the shadow falls where you are living or on your birthplace.
Eclipses repeat every 19 years. We had solar and lunar eclipses at the same points In January 2000. Look back at what happened then. This will continue a theme that was playing out at that time.
An eclipse tends to emphasize matters related to the house it falls in on your natal chart and what planets it conjuncts or opposes. The areas ruled by the houses or planets will demand more attention, thought, energy, and time from you, at least until the next eclipse. Eclipses open doors and invite you to come in, illuminating and stimulating areas of your lives that need our attention.
Remember that planetary energies are archetypal and archetypes can be expressed in many different ways. It’s really based on your consciousness and how you decide to work with these energies.
