Astrology by Mary MacLean

I am looking outside and the thermometer reads 40 degrees.  Is it possible that this is summer?  I will not be able to plant my tomatoes until it is at least 50 degrees in the evening consistently.  I do love my home grown tomatoes.   Umm-mm

I am looking at this Full Moon as something that brings about change.    If you look back at the Eclipse of Feb. 9^th, 2009, the Full Moon Eclipse was at 20 degrees of Leo.   Where does this point fall in your chart?  This area was a major concern at that time.  Each house has a multitude of areas that it governs.   As a Libra rising, it landed in my 11^th house of goals and, if I remember correctly, I was very concerned about the direction of my web site.  I am sure that the listing below will help you determine where the challenges were for you in February.  This last month brought the beginnings of your current Eclipse turning point.  The majestic aspects that come with this Full Moon are all about deep change.  If you look back at February 2009, the FM Eclipse took place in Leo at 20 degrees.  The following list is to help you remember what was challenging you at the time.  This is the area of your life where the Full Moon Eclipse took place.

 Aries, Leo is in your 5^th house of children, creativity, love affairs

Taurus, Leo is in your 4^th house of home, inner self

Gemini, Leo is in your 3^rd house of communications and community

Cancer, Leo is in your 2^nd house of personal finances and values

Leo is your ascendant or 1^st house of self, self promotion, personality

Virgo, Leo is in your 12^th house of the past, institutions, the subconscious

Libra, Leo is in your 11^th house of your goals and friends

Scorpio, Leo is in your 10^th house of career

Sagittarius, Leo is in your 9^th house of legal matters, publishing and foreign affairs

Capricorn, Leo is in your 8^th house of partnership finances, other people’s money

Aquarius, Leo is in your 7^th house of partnerships, either business or personal

Pisces, Leo is in your 6^th   house of everyday work or health.

I am listing these rising signs and where Leo landed in your chart at the February 9^th Eclipse.  This is only correct if you have no interceptions in your chart.  If you do have interceptions, you will have to adjust the house position.  I want to jog your memory and bring the essence of that February 9^th into your consciousness for a bit of show and tell.

 

Now that you know what you were thinking and worrying about then, you can see the natural progression that has been achieved since then.  This Full Moon is at 18 degrees of Scorpio in opposition to the Sun culminating issues from the last 3 weeks and energizing the square aspect it makes to last February’s Eclipse point of 20 degrees of Leo.  The other aspects in this Full Moon chart are direct squares to Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune from the Full Moon completing a Grand Fixed T square. This in itself promises to be a life changer.  Adding to this is a trine from the Sun to Saturn promising added stability and the Full Moon in trine to Uranus bringing about unexpected realizations.  This scenario seems to indicate a stepping stone in personal evolution.  

I know you have read Catherine Schultz’s articles and love them as much as I do.  This week she has an article on the Mercury retrograde that informs and entertains.  She is technically correct in her summation of the Mercury retrograde and is able to accomplish this with a distinct ability to carry us off on her personal astrological adventure.  

Speaking of the Mercury retrograde that seems to be happening on May 7^th, 2009….  Just a note…in and around May 7^th, you will notice things seem to go awry.  Mainly, you will need more information before you are allowed to complete some issues.

I will leave the Mercury retrograde for Catherine to explain to you.

Her article is just below mine.

 

Please be sure to read your rising sign as it will resonate with your personal chart.

If you have intercepted signs, you will need to check it more closely and make adjustments.
