Lunar Eclipse in Aries: Change is on the Horizon

© Igruh

On October 8th 2014 at 3:51 AM (PDT) there will be a total Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Aries. Lunar Eclipses are always big events, but this one is particularly jam packed with cosmic activity!

During this Lunar Eclipse the Moon will be in Aries and the Sun will of course be opposing in the sign of Libra. This means that a major theme during this eclipse will be balancing independence and harmony within relationships. There may be a great need to compromise in relationships between what we want and what others want. Lunar Eclipses are about letting things go that aren't serving us anymore and they urge us to detox our lives. With this Eclipse the things we need to let go of, are ideas we have about ourselves, our identity and independence. The nodes always play a big part in Lunar Eclipses and this time the South Node will be quite close to the Moon urging us to release some old deep rooted patterns that are related to how we view our independence and needs. Uranus will be very closely conjunct the Moon which means that Uranus will be urging us to break free from old patterns especially ones that restrict us in any way. Uranus may also bring some unexpected surprises which it is notorious for, but there's no telling with Uranus what they may be. 

There are many planets  participating in this Lunar Eclipse, mainly because there will be a grand trine in fire. The grand trine will be between the Moon and Uranus conjunct, Mars in Sagittarius, and Jupiter in Leo. This means that there are some big changes coming. It's a little weird because Lunar Eclipses are about letting go usually and not about starting new things, but this one is almost about both. If we let go our issues around ourselves and our relationships then we will open the door for tons of exciting big changes. Uranus is the one that mainly brings change, but Jupiter brings expansion and Mars brings the energy to start new and exhilarating projects, so get ready to welcome new and wonderful things into your life. Lunar Eclipses can be emotional and with this grand trine in fire going on , the emotions that we may particularly feel are anger and frustration. These emotions may come up if we feel like it has been hard to compromise in relationships or if we are holding on to old toxic behavioral patterns, which as I mentioned are important things to figure out during this Eclipse. 

This Lunar Eclipse will be intense, but it will help us out with our relationships and usher in big changes! Remember to let go of any old patterns and views you may have about yourself and to try to compromise within relationships. These are the two most important things to remember during this Eclipse. This Eclipse will affect a large number of people because of all the planets involved. If you have any planets in Aries, Libra, Sagittarius and Leo though , this Eclipse may be the most intense for you. Nonetheless, big changes are on the horizon for everyone!~
