    yeah, this eclipse series hits home....BOOM

    I have natal sun moon opposition and that is where the eclipse hits. Sun will be on my moon exact, in my 6th house. Transiting moon will be on my sun in my 12th house. So the full moon basically is opposite of my natal moon.
    Work AND new home issues, separation all in the last few months
    Still reeling...and wondering whats coming with these two...

    The july 22 eclipse new moon in my 6th house. It is the apex between a yod formed to my natal mercury (ruler of 5th and 8th) and nodal axis. Not quite sure whats going to result from that either

    Transits have really been surprising me, how they have been manifesting for me
    Astrology is a fun tool for watching life events after the fact; but i gave up on trying to analyze what will exactly go on with things, its just too complex :P All i ever can see is what general area might get influenced...and even then i can be off. I have the weird up-north houses and never sure which house is getting hit by things. It seems like when i look at it, it tends to be both (which makes no sense to me.,..but...anyway)

      I imagine this is pretty powerful for you!
      I am starting to think that these sorts of transits hit even harder when they somehow reflect the natal chart in some sort of reconfigured way.

      I imagine that there would be potential for some emotional and otherwise personal healing since this is in house 6 and 12 ... and with the moon - sun conjunction instead of the opposition (or in addition) - maybe an opportunity to kick your natal sun opposite moon into a strong balance?

    I'm anticipating Neith's upcoming article from realastrologers.com on this subject. The eclipse is going to occur in a conjunction to my natal sun (28 deg cancer) and mercury (1 deg leo) in 3rd house, and opposition to my moon (25 deg cap).... effectively it will probably activate the dominating t-square I have between my sun/moon opp and pluto in my 3rd/9th/6th houses :( I haven't read much about eclipses though so I don't have any idea what it could mean.

      Solar Eclipses always occur at a New Moon, just as all Lunar Eclipses always happen at a Full Moon. As such, this Solar Eclipse would signify points to initiate plans and actions in matters concerning the House it is in and the planets and aspects it affects.

      New Moons are times to initiate plans and actions, and, happening with an eclipse, I would think it is fair to figure that this New Moon may pack more than the usual bang for its buck. Eclipses are crisis points, but a lunar eclipse is of a more personal nature than a solar eclipse and is less conscious. Solar Eclipses are often associated with more communal, even global events, so it could be that whatever it is you initiate during this New Moon/Eclipse you may also see reflected at the next Full Moon on a larger stage than your just your personal one.

        Thanks Ami! The lunar eclipse on the 7th occurs when the moon is conjunct my mars in the 8th house and trine venus...and then the lunar eclipse on August 6th will be conjunct my Midheaven exactly.... add that to the sun/solar eclipse conjunction on the 22nd... with transit NN conjunct my moon... ohhh.

        This should be an intense month. Maybe I'll fall in love or someone will fall in love with me, or I'll initiate something that will change the way I feel about my identity. Maybe with the midheaven involved, it will change how others see me as well. It will be interesting to see what happens...

          By the time of the Full Moon following the Solar Eclipse, something very dynamic could be ready to appear. With that Full Moon also coincident with an eclipse and conjunct your MC, I would expect it to be significant. Knowing that, you can work with the Solar Eclipse to try to effect a very powerful realization of some aspiration, and you can focus on that from July 22 through the intervening period leading up to that next charged Full Moon. Actually, we all can do that in some fashion. Always be careful of what you wish for ~ lol.
  • The July 7th eclipse will be 2 degrees conjunct my Sun in Cap (5th house ) and then then the July 22 eclipse will be 1 degree opposite my mercurcy in cap and 2 degrees conjunct my venus in aquarius (both in 6th house).

    Lots of interesting things going on now....a job position i have been working on creating at my company for over a year looks close to be finally approved and 2 weeks ago found out my roomate and I have to move after 3 years in an apt. so def some changes....
  • The eclipse will be happening opposite the midpoint between my Capricorn moon and my ascendant. My Capricorn moon at 15 degrees is on the cusp of the 11th house, the house of hopes and wishes, friends and connections. I have a feeling that a project with regards to that will come into being between the 5th to 6th house; something to do with fun and romance and the working environment.

    Ahh ... thanks for the heads up Lady!

    I think I should start praying now haha!

    Transiting sun+moon + natal jupiter -retro
    quincunx transiting neptune+jupiter+chiron - all retro

    This I have been associating with the spiritual practices I plan to take up or set aside for a time when I go away to school. I wonder what it means on July22 before I am actually there? Maybe the right path will precipitate?

    transiting mars in taurus H12 conjunct natal ascendant
    transiting sedna in taurus H12 opposite natal uranus-retro

    To me this seems to indicate some sort of conflict or rebellion or battle within H12 that will hit me very close ... something otherworldly and institutional. Will astronuts finally crucify me for being Christian? (haha just kidding ... ) Will some other trauma or sudden insight or situation bring about a change in my habits?

    grand cross
    transiting venus gemini H1
    transiting saturn virgo H4 conjunct natal Nnode
    transiting Quaoa sagittarius H7 conjunct natal neptune
    natal pisces H12

    This continues echoing the theme of spiritual/philosophical challenges that are a risk to my self in some way (cross ... crucifixion) but hold great potential for love in action and growth. I feel I should start praying now in order to get through the time coming up!

    I also noticed that transiting veruna is conjunct natal moon in H2 cancer
    And natally I have varuna conjunct ascendant almost exactly - how ever did I miss that for all this time!?

    I looked up varuna for some time - another spiritually directed (specifically towards God as I understood it) signature. I have set off on quite an ambitious path and promised myself a lot of things ... will I start making headway in these things? Will I find that I need to re-order my plans to some higher order?

    Anyway - it seems that in my case a lot of spiritual/philosophical movement will be underway with this eclipse on July 22nd.

    On July7 I didn't notice much of a pattern that stood out to me.
    Maybe the choices I make between July7 - July21 will somewhat shape just what precipitates and just how much progress I am able to make by July 22 ... it could be as simple as that?

    It doesn't seem totally obvious to me but it seems like a good excuse to pray more.
  • Am on a roll. This is also a note to say that Saturn does reward you and well if you learn your lessons well.

    Transiting full moon lunar eclipse on Capricorn exact degree to my natal moon is in trining to transiting Saturn just rolling past the exact degrees of my natal Saturn. Moon on the cusp of 12th house, Saturn in the 7th house.

    Karma payback time: I have been practically swamped with contracts from new clients that I have been courting as early as the beginning of the year. I have done some pro bono work that they have been impressed with, also the fact that I have attempted to build a relationship with the long haul in mind.

    Also, my book, which I have been working on from end of last year with much pain and perseverance in between moments of ebbing and flowing inspiration has received a grant from an arts council.

    But Saturn delays my gratification yet again...he says set my structure up first before I can think of holiday plans! It looks that I will be too busy for that break!
    • Unsu...
       
      Wow Lady!

      Congratulations :)
      All that well thought out planning and independent work seems to really be paying off.

      Sometimes saturn's karmic payback isn't so bad hehe ... but it is rarely what you expect it seems.

      I hope things continue to go well for you!
      • Yup I'm not the sort to work through long term relationships if I can't see immediate benefits. I was working more or less pro bono with these newly acquired clients for a while to expand on my portfolio as old clients could not afford to hire me. Wasn't expecting the returns to be so immediate. Saturn is in the 7th house of relationships with partners and also business! Thanks riptide!
        • I actually have yet to get "into" lunar cycles because they seem so frequent, that it's almost like a whole other science to study outside of astrology itself. The July 7th eclipse, for me, was a scenario of the moon being in the 7th House in loose opposition to my ASC, the Sun and Mercury and, it looks like, semi-sextile natal H6 Neptune and square H4 Pluto. I can't really put my finger on how things have changed for me, internally and personally, since the lunar eclipse. No relationship endings or beginnings. BUT, I can say, that I am suddenly more acutely aware of how and the many ways that I present my Self to others.

          The July 22nd solar eclipse will be on my H1/H2 border and conjunct my natal Jupiter in Leo and therefore squaring natal Mars, Mercury and Venus in H10.

          This will actually be my very first solar eclipse as a budding/practicing astrologer. I don't know what to expect. I read that eclipses play out over time. I'm guessing natal Jupiter will enhance the energy of the solar eclipse, or atleast the seeds/creative new beginnings that will be sown. With the squares to H10, I'm in the air. Being that I'm still unemployed since being laid off (thanks, Uranus conj MC), I don't know if that aspect will deal with career. Perhaps, public stature or image?
          • Derrick

            Uranus is a trailblazer. Is this natal Uranus or transiting Uranus that is in conjunction with your MC? Is there a unique out of the ordinary talent that you have put on the backburner that you should be wielding at the moment? Look out for changes and opportunities on the horizon, especially with the lunar eclipse coming on the 22nd of this month!
  • Transiting sun conjunction with moon conjunction with natal Jupiter in 6th house on the solar eclipse. My work place environment will get a lot of attention.
    • Transiting Mercury will be conjunct my Natal Uranus in 11H Leo. It will join my natal Uranus in opposing my 5H Aqua Moon/Chiron conjunction. Transiting Uranus, meanwhile, will still be parked on my natal 7H Pisces Mars, which opposes my 1H Virgo Mercury, and, of course, they will also be in opposition to Transiting Saturn in Virgo 1H.

      This looks to me like an image of a kind of issue of teetering communication. Could also involve some electronics issues. With Uranus now Rx, it doesn't surprise me that I get a retrograde feeling of it, too, involving Mercury. Actually, almost everything BUT Mercury is in retrograde. LOL!
    • Just as well, I thought that my office will be up and running after a quiet spell in the first half of the year. Time to reconnect the internet lines and I have even thought of buying new furniture to spruce it up and to vacuum up the place. It's time.

  • Full Moon Solar Eclipse will be squaring the heliocentric Chiron Nodes in 29'28 Aries. so it could involve matters in dealing with wounds,healing,being a maverick

    The lunar eclipse will be in my 11th house
    and just trining my Neptune in 1'48 Sagittarius in 3rd

    I don't think that it will be affecting me much compared to others


    • correction:
      Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will be squaring the heliocentric Chiron Nodes in 29'28 Libra/Aries
      • Wait. This will be a New Moon Solar Eclipse.
        • Unsu...
           
          the solar eclipse the 22nd @ 30 cancer; sun conjunct moon.

          the lunar eclipse was on the 7th @ 16 capricorn; sun opposite moon.

          here is a good link for eclipses/signs/degree
          www.skyscript.co.uk/eclipse.html
          • Unsu...
             
            its my understanding that a solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon.

            the eclipse happens when the moon goes directly between sun & earth.

            the transiting nodes are significant. the closer the nodes are to the planetary conjunction in a solar eclipse (new moon) or the opposition in a lunar eclipse (full moon), then it is more likely a total eclipse.


            example is on the 22nd is a total eclipse, where the sun and moon will met at 29 cancer 27 and
            the transiting north node/south node is at 0 aquarius 13 / 0 leo 13.

            • yeah...I got confused by the thread's title that said full moon lunar eclipse in cancer on July 22nd


              yep...lunar eclipse is Sun and Moon in both opposition and contraparallel
              pretty much an enhanced full moon

              solar eclipse is Sun and Moon in both conjunction and parallel
              pretty much an enhanced new moon

              so any ways...the solar eclipse will be in my 11th house trining my Neptune in 1'48 Sagittarius in 3rd

              I am not sure if anything significant will happen in my life that reflects the solar eclipse


              the solar eclipse is also squaring the heliocentric chiron nodes in 29'28 Aries
              so there can be a focus on matters of wounds,healing,and being a maverick.
  • Emotions are running high. I'm feeling resentful and angry half the time.

      what kind of orb do you guys use? cause my mercury is at 25 cap.

      i have my natal sun @ 30 capricorn, so pretty much exact with the eclipse. the transiting cancer sun moon conjunction will happen in my 10th house... cancer solar eclipse in tenth house opposing capricorn sun in 4th house... not sure what to expect... right now it feels like the quite in between storms.

      oh yes & dont forget the last of the aquarius/leo eclipses is to happen at the end of the first week in august around 14 degrees!



      7/22 solar eclipse in 10th house, the transiting moon blocks out the transiting sun in 10th house & opposes 4th house natal sun

      8/6 lunar eclipse in 5th house, the transiting sun conjunct my natal moon in my 11th house & blocks out transiting moon in 5th house.

      i need to look at the past 2yrs of aquarius/leo eclipses, since the final one comes at august 6th! one eclipse axis at a time :-)

      Well - the good news is that emotions tend to be fleeting ... with all your libra energy - maybe those high-tide emotions could kick up some great ammunition for the formation of some beautiful pearls of wisdom and art - if you can just hold them in and process them, right?


      I myself went a bit emotional for a brief moment yesterday afternoon. Luckily my tribe account inextricably shut down on me right as I was about to post my "crazy" post haha! I got over it fast and I think that it was all for the best - but I couldn't get into tribe at all last night so I thought my ideas about getting booted off tribe from the post above might have actually gone into effect!
      It was an interesting story ... but it wasn't true I guess!

    I really liked this article. Clear and not too psycho-babbly.


    This season has been crazy for me...lost a dog I found on my birthday- met him three weeks prior to July 7th. Got two new writing gigs and I'm having at least two dreams a night. And two of them involve churches lol-wtf!

      Whoa - are you saying that there are recurring dreams about churches or were 2 of the dreams out of the 14+ you had this week about churches?
      I am going to be losing a pet as well - it was expected but I expected to happen in a different way.

      Surprises - check
      Growth - check
      Secrets revealed - check
      Temporary situations - check
      Changes - check
      Suddenly moving forward in unexpected ways - check

      I did like that article quite a bit! I think there were some good pointers there and it gives good perspective.
      • I like that perspective on the link that sonah has posted as well. It also seems that the crazies from my ex-boyfriend's past have come up. I'm hoping that this is the temporary situation. Surprises, growth, secrets revealed, changes, suddenly moving forward. All of the above check.

        I dreamt that as a joke, someone strung my electric guitar with yarn.
      • Lady Saber,
        Thanks for that comment regarding Uranus in my chart. I was speaking of transiting Uranus on my MC. My natal Uranus (in Scorpio) is in the 5th House and, now that you mentioned it, that WOULD seem to point to a certain talent (method of creation) that I have perhaps allowed to lie dormant (Scorpio) and needs to be uncovered and nurtured.

        In terms of July 22nd. I've spent time perusing some of the links you guys posted (Thanks! They were a big help for this lunar cycle novice!) and I noticed that the eclipse will not only be tightly conj my natal Jup at 2 Leo, but also Quintile natal Taurus Sun (birthing/creation Earth energy), square natal H10 Merc, Mars and Venus (responsibilty in what I "put out there," perhaps?), sextile natal Libra moon (emotive drive/security working in tandem) and trine the aforementioned natal Uranus in H5.

        That looks to me like a heavy emphasis on realization of self worth and the need for trusting ones' self (both Taurus and Cancer) and laying foundations of something(s) new (this also being my Saturn Return, and Saturn ruled Jul 7 lunar eclipse). Jupiter's association with the eclipse probably brings a heightened level of awareness of all these energies.

        Lady, you also mentioned emotions running high lately. I've noticed that, too. Kind of odd, considering the lunar eclipse in Cap (not the most outwardly emotional of signs), but the air has seemingly been quite charged. I've noticed alot of strangers snapping at eachother in the streets! And around the time of Jul 7th eclipse I had this sort of odd, 3-day period where I really didn't wanna leave my room. It was quite strange.
      • "Whoa - are you saying that there are recurring dreams about churches or were 2 of the dreams out of the 14+ you had this week about churches?"

        lol--2 of them had churches with dancing children, and in one of them i performed also.

        And it does sound funny, but I really have had about at least 10 dreams a week!

        Transiting sun and mercury are also in my 12th, so might not even be the eclipse. But I don't feel this one changing me yet--I felt the one on July 7th much more. We'll see!

        I hope your surprises are good ones!
  • Solar eclipse falls in my 5th house. The only significant aspects it makes are sesquiquadrates to my N.Node/Ceres/Ascendant conjunction (13 Pisces 13, 15 Pisces 11, 15 Pisces 11 respectively.) It also falls in the 5th house of the eclipse chart where I live

    Unless you count my progressed Moon (26 Cap 22) opposition progressed Mars (27 Can 57).

    The reason I mention that is because the eclipse Mars (6 Gem 58) opposes my natal Moon 7 Sat 07, and where I'm living, the eclipse Ascendant/Descendant axis squares that Mars and my Moon.



  • The solar eclipse trines my Sun at 29 32 Pisces and my Mars at 26 35 Scorpio. Venus in the eclipse chart conjuncts my MC and trines my moon. Both of this month's eclipses actually look real good for me and so far nothing bad has happened. I could use a break from the grotesque Saturn and Pluto transits I've had!

    I have both Neptune and Jupiter (solar rulers) in Capricorn and my 4th house so I'm really excited about the Cancer/Cap eclipses. I have no planets in Aqua or Leo so I didn't feel these eclipses via the energies of these signs. They were just a continuation of the hellish nightmare crap of the Pisces/Virgo eclipses-since Aqua rules my sixth and Leo my twelfth. I've had it up to here with 12th/6th house stuff infiltrating into my 1st house/7th house (and vice versa) seeing I'm a sun in Pisces seventh house, Virgo rising and I naturally have enough of all that....

    Anyone else have a solar eclipse trine sun?
  • Let me get this straight. There is no Lunar Eclipse tonight and what I was standing outside watching was a solar eclipse which I couldn't see because it's dark out. Am I right?

    These 'lunar' eclipse threads for July 22 have really confused me.
    • secsip, the title is incorrect...it is a new moon eclipse, therefore probably difficult to see ?
      • I didn't see a moon at all and still can't see the moon. My brother called me and said, "There's no moon out tonight, there are stars but no moon."

        I'm very confused.
        • Unsu...
           
          I found this interesting site:
          cosmicguidelinesblog.blogspot.com/2...ml

          Here is a summary from that site:
          >>>
          There will be six eclipses in 2009, and that's more than usual. An average year has four. But it fits doesn't it, this feeling of a new era, so of course there are more eclipses to boost the change. The first two eclipses will happen on January 26 (6° Aquarius), just as Jupiter enters Aquarius, and February 9,(20° Leo) just after the second pass of Saturn opposed Uranus. The next three eclipses will be July 7 (15° Capricorn), and then a Total Solar Eclipse (29° Cancer) will pass over China, where the earthquake was last year. The third Eclipse of Summer in the Northern hemisphere will be August 6, (13° Aquarius). The final eclipse happens just before the year ends on New Years Eve (10° 'Cancer).
          >>>

          It hadn't occurred to me until I looked at this site ...
          But I have jupiter @29 cancer and venus @ 6 (rounded) aquarius H9 ... I always associated this opposition with my enthusiastic love for philosophy and religion ... and a love for learning in general. I wonder ... it isn't clear!


          I am still learning about this myself a little, actually (at least the connection between eclipses and charts and astrology)
          I noticed that in the charts I looked at eclipses appeared as conjunctions or oppositions between sun and moon.
          I think the conjunction is a solar eclipse - the sun and moon line up with the moon blocking the sun's light.
          I think the opposition is the lunar eclipse - the earth gets in between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun's light.
          I think I am remembering that right.
          • That's correct, riptide. Take a glance at that website I posted on the eclipse. It explains why this solar eclipse will be so strong ~ it will be the longest eclipse of the 21st Century.
            • Unsu...
               
              Maybe its just me - but it did seem like this was quite an unusual year (and not just because of there being more eclipses than usual) .. and it does feel quite different now after the eclipse for whatever reason (it seems like a lot of things that had been building for some time have come together surrounding the dates of this eclipse).
              From here it seems like "full speed ahead" on all the changes and on life lived in a new way!
