The Moon blocks the light of the Sun during the solar eclipse on November 3. Eclipses generally bring on a sense of foreboding, but the only time I would be concerned about an eclipse is when the eclipse touches an important point in our horoscope. The Sun, Moon and planets convey the karmic energy on-board at any given time. Eclipses are known to release all kinds of important karmic ramifications collectively and personally. From the western astrological perspective, the eclipse takes place in Scorpio bringing all types of Scorpionic energies into play. Mercury, Saturn and Rahu are closely associated with the eclipse and it may be worthy to sift through their implications as well.
Scorpio is a sign that is very connected to nature and the overall health of the environment. Scorpio is also a sign of hidden energy, secret agendas, machinations and movements. On the world level, we know there are serious, highly complex and sensitive problems. Saturn represents the laws and rules we must abide by and often dishes out a medicine we may have trouble swallowing. We have the question of the pipelines and the fear of how they will impact our precious environment. For anyone tantalized and possibly seduced by the massive profits the whole industry will bring our way, the first spill will wipe that fantasy away. The point is there are great movements afoot, pro and con and everything in between. There’s no sense fear mongering, but it looks like the pipes are coming our way, like it or not.
Scorpio represents collective will power and it is only through the will of the people speaking as one voice that we will change the tides. If you care for your society, country and culture then know that the time has arrived to make a stand. Saturn’s involvement indicates a time of austerity and belt tightening, probably connected to the concerns in the US economy. From an Eastern Vedic astrological perspective, the eclipse takes place in Libra in the nakshatra (star group) of Swati. The eclipse sits in the middle of Libra and all the other star groups. Balance, harmony, the arts, music and all matters of education and negotiation are highlighted. Vayu, the god of wind, rules this nakshatra bringing the possibility of big storms. The wind moves things and we will be moved to take action and lean into the tasks that are here to be dealt with now. Our task is to find the balance and seek what is fair and just for all.
