The Full Moon Eclipse arrives on Feb. 9th, 2009 in the sign of Leo. This Eclipse is in a fixed fire sign resolving issues with strength, determination and, possibly, a bit of drama. This Eclipse opposes the Sun (Vitality), Chiron (Wounded healer), and Neptune (Illusion and delusion). Think about this for a moment: a perceived wound veiled by illusion or delusion. Not a situation that is crystal clear. Questions abound if you choose to dig deep. If you have any planet at 20 degrees of Leo, this will impact you. If you have any planets at 20 degrees of Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio, this will also impact you. These are the fixed signs of the Zodiac and all are involved if you have them. This presents a situation that is impossible to resolve without a mutual understanding from all involved. This seems to take a while to examine and process. What house does it fall in your chart? This will tell you the area in which this action is taking place. Below, I will try to delineate the most common meaning by using your rising sign as the chart of choice. This does not work if you have interceptions. You will need to see where 20 degrees of Leo is in your chart.
Mercury is direct as of 1/31/2009 at 21 degrees of Capricorn and you will find that you are in the process of changing your mind about things. Look at the house that holds Capricorn for the area of concern. As Mercury turns direct, it is in trine to transiting Saturn insuring a new plan.
Mars enters Aquarius 2/05/2009 for a nice lengthy stay and whatever house that Aquarius rules in your chart you can expect a new sense of freedom, wanted or unwanted. Mars is the disrupter, instigator, and agitator; understand his energy and move with the revelation. This expresses the energy of the last New Moon Eclipse from Jan. 26th, 2009 and again on Feb. 12th and 13th, 2009. Mars conjuncts Jupiter on 2/16/2009 which echoes a new beginning. Mars and Jupiter and their respective aspects usually denote a birth, but not necessarily human. It could be the birth of an idea or creative endeavor.
Transiting Saturn is retrograde at 20 degrees of Virgo and moves to 19 degrees on 2/16/2009 ensuring that any planets at 20 degrees of Earth (Capricorn, Taurus) will benefit by its retrograde movement. Any planets at 20 & 19 degrees of Mutable signs (Gemini, Sagittarius, and Pisces) will be reactionary and require changes.
Uranus is direct at 20 of Pisces moving to 21 degrees in opposition to transiting Saturn in Virgo at 20 degrees. This aspect reflects a change that is necessary for your growth as a person. I remember a very good rule and I would like to pass it on to you “Whatever Uranus takes away it replaces with something better.”
Transiting Neptune is direct and is at 23 & 24 degrees of Aquarius during this month. The Full Moon Eclipse will accent this Neptune adding either illusion or confusion to the pot.
Pluto is at 2 degrees of Capricorn all month. If you have any planets at 2 degrees of Cardinal signs (Libra, Aries, Cancer and Capricorn), this will be an intense month for you. Take note of what transpires this month for it will return many times in the next two years.
Please be sure to read your rising sign as it will resonate with your personal chart.
