lunar eclipse in sagittarius- 5/24/2013

by | May 21, 2013 | Lunar Insight

the last eclipse in a series of three that began on april 25th will be exact on friday, may 24th at 9:25pm PDT. usually eclipses come in pairs. on rarer occasions they come three in row, and when that happens the energy for transformation and change is amplified! add into the mix the first uranus/pluto square of the year (5/20) and four X-class solar flares in a 48 hour period of time (5/17-18) and it is clear we are in a very amplified frequency right now! i hope you all are hanging in there ;)

this full moon lunar eclipse pits the sun in gemini exactly opposite the moon in sagittarius. the signs of lower mind and Higher Mind are illuminated- bringing focus to our thoughts, ideas, mental perceptions and mind energy. both gemini and sagittarius like to be think about things, learn and mentally explore. what is interesting in this eclipse chart is the fact that neptune in pisces (the sign neptune rules) is square both the sun and moon, forming what is called a T-square with the eclipse. neptune square the sun/moon opposition puts a hazy, dreamy energy in the mix. it can be super spiritual, intuitive, even psychic. but it can also be delusional, deceptive, confusing and/or subtly manipulative. this eclipse is asking us to find balance between our rational minds and our intuitive minds, between our discernment and our trust/faith. too much energy on either end can become imbalanced and problematic. questioning our beliefs, ideas and what we think is right is key. pay close attention to the information you are taking in- in the form of news, tv, media, etc… just because it’s ‘published’ somewhere does not mean it is right! we need to find our inner voice and tune into its Truth. mind at the expense of Soul does not serve us.

the ruler of this lunation is jupiter and he is currently in gemini, the sign of the mind and intellect. jupiter is closely conjunct mercury, the ruler of gemini, venus and black moon lilith. the mental energy is high and rampant! ultimately we are asked to find balance between the mind and heart and speak Truths from a heart-centered place. jupiter gifts us gifts of insight and aha or breakthrough moments in communication. jupiter will be finishing up his stay in gemini soon (in late june he moves into cancer for a year long stay)- so these last weeks of jupiter in gemini are a time for us to open our minds and see Truths beyond what we thought possible or what we knew to be real. this is an inner reality as much as an outer reality- so pay attention to what is unfolding in you and around you in the coming weeks!

last but not least mars is also featured in the lunar eclipse chart. mars is in taurus conjunct the fixed star algol and he is activating the uranus/pluto square (semisquare uranus, sesquiquadrate pluto- both aspects are exact on saturday and sunday). this is deep and intense. mars in taurus is steady and focused, but with algol, uranus and pluto involved it can quickly turn to stubbornness, obstinacy and entitlement. learning when to hold on and when to let go is key. taurus is not a sign that likes change (not of the fixed signs do) but we are in powerfully changing times and learning to let go can be our greatest asset!

in this last eclipse as we move rapidly from point A to point B we are asked to get clear on what our Truth is and then live it. if anything in your life is blocking you from living your Truth then deal with it or let it go. the urgency of the time is the call for a massive overhaul of life as we know it! it all starts with us- our inner work impacts the outer world, and vice versa! use the last moments of this eclipse portal to orient yourself and get going! we’ve got work to do!

blessings…
