Lunar Eclipse February 9, 2009

[Sowelu]

It occurs to me that Mr. Obama is a Leo with Aquarius rising, and this is a lunar eclipse in Leo while the sun is in Aquarius... and it just has this really important feeling to me. Even aside from Mr. Obama. So I thought I'd post about it but I can't find much yet...

Lunar Eclipses indicate meaningful changes for all of us. They are powerful markers of events with influence that can appear up to three months in advance and last up to six months afterward. So, you may ask: What is a Lunar Eclipse? Every month the Moon travels in her orbit completely around the Earth. A Lunar Eclipse can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle, when the Moon is on the far side of the Earth from the Sun: when there is a Full Moon. Unlike a Solar Eclipse, a Lunar Eclipse can be observed from nearly an entire hemisphere and, unlike Solar Eclipses, are completely safe to watch. A Lunar Eclipse can be observed with nothing more than the naked eye. Locations where the eclipse is visible are more strongly influenced by it. A pair of binoculars will magnify the view making the red coloration of this event brighter and easier to see.

This month's eclipse is an annular lunar eclipse that will take place on February 9 and is the first of four Lunar Eclipses in 2009. This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will occur as the Moon passes through the constellation of Leo at 20º60'. At exactly 2:30pm the Sun will be moving opposite the Moon in Leo through the constellation of Aquarius at 20º60'. The Earth will be at exactly the same degree in Aquarius blocking the light of the Sun to the Moon as it falls in direct alignment at 20º60' with the Sun and Moon. Generally, Earthlings tend to be more emotionally expressive during a Full Moon and this Full Moon is no exception.

This eclipse in Leo brings egos down to size. Normally, a Lunar Eclipse emphasizes emotional reactions. Psychic sensitivity, spiritual instincts and emotional connectedness are aroused by a Lunar Eclipse as the environment becomes a little unstable. This unstable environment occurs because there is change in the electromagnetic energy that affects us mentally and neurologically. There will be some stress as blockages will begin to crumble and then there will be a feeling of freedom. The good news is that creative and artistic qualities will be discovered as you let go of beliefs that don't correspond with your current reality. Outdated ideals or dreams may need to be discarded which can be painful but necessary. You experience an awakening to today's truths as the clutter is cleared away and the present is seen in a new light. You redefine your personality and your image. Outwardly, a new hairdo and new clothes may result!!

This Full Moon is joined by nebulous Neptune which governs water and all things spiritual and dreamy. Floods, fraud and all things fake make their way into the headlines. All Full Moons bring matters to fulfillment. Eclipses always mean crises. But, crisis is not necessarily a bad thing. Organizations may be touched by scandal as what has been hidden comes to light. Personally, a phase of your life ends and a new one begins.

Whatever part of your life is not in sync with your true life's purpose will show the most change and this can be seen by where this eclipse falls in your personal chart. But, remember, this is all good and part of your pattern of growth as you are forced to finally drum up the courage make necessary life corrections!! Enjoy the process!! :-)


Read on to see what part of your life will experience the eclipse energy the most . . .

ARIES: The drama of this eclipse destabilizes your love life and provokes you to overreact from a place of fear. But you have an opportunity to heal an old emotional scar if you understand the difference between what happened in the past and what's occurring now.

TAURUS: Emotional drama can trigger drama out of proportion with reality. It is difficult to separate fact from fiction. Step outside of your comfort zone and try different methods if you want to advance professionally. Caring friends influence you to advance carefully.

GEMINI: Annoyances and disappointments loom large as your emotions swing back and forth. Keep in mind that things are not as difficult as they seem. Actions taken now can have positive long-term ramifications - if they originate from awareness and love.

CANCER: Unexplored professional territory catches your interest. But, managing your time, money or energy can be challenging as you are inclined to follow a dream without regard to its cost. Nurture your vision with a practical perspective to turn it into reality.

LEO: This dramatic Leo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse has you changing your look as it activates your desire for a complete makeover. A very substantial metamorphosis is called for as you are reminded that healing is not about physical appearance but about attitude.

VIRGO: You are forced to let go of dreams that don't match your current reality. You don't have to hold on to every fantasy or try to be a hero for causes you have outgrown. Withdrawing from exhausting struggles is not a surrender but a victory for your own sanity.

LIBRA: This overly dramatic (Leo) Lunar Eclipses encourages you to demand recognition from your peers. You are fully aware of the significance of your contributions and now you toss your patience out the window to get the acknowledgment you feel you deserve.

SCORPIO: The spotlight is on you as you show off your creativity and leadership skills. Changes of responsibility are highlighted. Jump in and react as fast as you can as there's no time for plodding along on the job. But, keep it real and don't spread yourself too thin.

SAGITTARIUS: It is time to let go of beliefs that are not serving your needs. It can feel right to be right, but not when it's more about saving face than effectively managing your life. To maximize your return, make sure your pragmatism is stronger than your pride.

CAPRICORN: Difficulties with money force to reassess your financial priorities as you must seriously consider your life's purpose. In the upcoming months you make a plan to accomplish new goals as you brush away doubts and communicate your highest ideals clearly.

AQUARIUS: This Eclipse is very powerful on you!! Relationships are highlighted and you are tempted to project your fantasies onto others. The deeper message is that mixing romance with realism can put an end to illusions that get in the way of your joy!

PISCES: Details, Details, details!! You prefer to live in a dream world and not deal with details. This eclipse forces your attention on what is limiting your success. Trust your intuition AND pay attention to details, as you are inspired to make your dreams come true.

As I was drifting off to sleep last night it came to my awareness that this lunar eclipse falls on

11 11
(2/ 9 = 11   2+0+0+9 = 11)

That's part of the significance I can feel around it, no doubt. It's in two days... here's what Gillian MacBeth-Louthan had to say about this particular 11 11 Gate:

29/11 GATEWAY

Watching of ones words is animated within the structure of 29/11. The power within the word and how one chooses to use it. Speaking problems and solutions in and out of existence. Balancing positive thought creation with doubt and confusion. Wanting to finish but sometimes afraid to start. The lungs the heart and the throat hold the vibrations of 29/11 stresses and strains in manifestation or creation is seen in these areas. The volcano holds its tongue until it is ready to let go in fullness. Learning to hold ones power via the spoken word until it is ready to birth at a higher vibration. Using your heart and head as the Creator would. Knowing ALL THOUGHTS COUNT! Believing absolutely in your ability to create. Divine certainty on a DNA level.
