There is a lot of buzz around this Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse, on the 20^th – 21^st. The anticipation is likely to roll out in unexpected ways, or should I say non-traditional. It lands on the Sabian Symbol 1 Leo, “A case of apoplexy.” How are you going after what is important to you? The highlight is finding the balance of creativity and expression. The action-oriented tension you’re feeling is to encourage authentic ideals and move you closer to a goal. With a line-up of planets in Capricorn, (Saturn, Pluto and Mercury) we’re required to put one foot in front of the other to build a solid foundation.

Jupiter is how we claim more for ourselves. Part of that includes exploration and stepping into unfamiliar territory. What could you learn to support this expansion in 2019? Our idealism and visions are being tested. Learning to trust what you can’t see (often felt in your gut) is the key. You know that feeling when you just meet someone and you know they are trustworthy? Or just the opposite, you meet someone and think… Whoa, not going to be a second meeting. That’s the voice that’s being turned up for us now. We’re learning to trust, more and more, the inner voice.

The influence of this eclipse encourages joining groups connected to the Arts, healing and humanitarian interests. Structures that were once secure seem to give way when backed by false facts. The crumbling of authority figures that govern masses of people get the spotlight. When we look at Pluto, we’re not sugar coating the facts. Truths come out into the open and secrets are exposed. Saturn there too, on the highest side of integrity wants congruence and demands maturity. Easy enough to think that maturity comes naturally, but often we see the shadow, grasping and blaming instead of taking responsibility. This “beginning of the end” has been in the works for a while, but as eclipses go, they have the ability to shift the tide. The present wipes out the past during the Lunar Eclipse. And just maybe, that creates a light at the end of a very long tunnel.

We have six months for the transformation before the next eclipse in July. Out best strategy is to come up with a solid plan. Outsmart your frustrations by working out or a brisk walk. Move your body and breathe through frustrating circumstances. When you know how to respond to stresses the reactionary, out of control feelings dissolve on the other side. The 28^th is our best date for additional insight. We’ll have a solid course of action and inspiration to back it up.

Connections on the 30^th pave the way to long-distance messages or travel. By the time we reach the New Moon of February, 2019 finally takes us into new territory.
