This month is all about sudden twists and turns, ups and downs, and moving in new directions. Expectations will be derailed with unavoidable changes, setbacks, spectacles, and sensational events. It’s unfolding in exciting ways or creating chaos. With an emphasis on the emotions, the eclipse is bringing closure and endings. One’s personal status quo will forever change.
Life Changes, Consciousness & Flexibility
On August 7, 2017, the Lunar Eclipse will occur at 15 degrees Aquarius. It is stimulating a rebellious nature in individuals and the masses. There’s an unconventional, revolutionary, and visionary way people can express themselves. Actions, thoughts, and communications will all be impacted. It is an out with the ordinary and in with new, inventive ways of achieving results. It’s about freedom and independence from constricting relationships and situations. It’s about switching up the same old routines, looking at challenges in new perspectives, changing appearances, and expressing what makes you unique!
Aquarius is one of three air signs that are in tune with the mental plane of consciousness. Their ideas, thoughts, and mental processes are unique, sudden, and intuitive. It’s a detached, freedom-oriented zodiac sign that prefers to not conform to set standards. They exhibit a unique, fresh perspective that’s ahead of their times. This eclipse is helping individuals get out of the rut and switch up their routines. There are opportunities to find answers and solutions in new ways. Either by sudden epiphanies, brainstorming, or spiritual osmosis, you can tap into the Universal Consciousness and receive what you need.
Aquarius is one of three fixed signs that also has a stubborn side. They can be resistant to changes they didn’t initiate; they hate being forced into situations. With the eclipse, there’s no hidden agenda. The energies are coming and will be in full force for the next six months. The challenge is to not be so set in one’s ways, fixed or stubborn in your thought processes.
Fire and Air
The Lord of the Eclipse is Uranus. It is located at 29 degrees Aires retrograde. On August 3rd, Uranus stationed retrograde adding a little cosmic fuel and dynamite to the eclipse. Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury and it can symbolize our mind. More importantly, it relates to the unique and different ways one processes data and wisdom. Uranus in Aires gives the additional need for independence, space, movement, spontaneity, and initiative. It is all about taking action, risks, and leaps of faith; yet, the planning component falls to the wayside. It’s fire and air that combine in a harmonious way. Regardless, of the harmony, there will always be a curveball.
With Uranus in Aires, the opposite sign is Libra. This is considered the relationship axis and symbolizes the polarity of self versus relationship. For some, this axis is going to teeter-totter, and announcements of divorce and sudden splits will be totally out of the blue. If the eclipse is making harmonious aspects to an individual’s love planets, then the fireworks are just getting started. This will be an exciting cycle that the eclipse activates. Expect to seal the deal and be in a relationship within the next six months. Otherwise, hold down the fort and try not to allow this fire sign’s combustible energy to backfire on you and your close relationships.
What really stirs this eclipse energy is the Mars opposition. Mars rules the zodiac sign of Aires, so it’s a double whammy of cosmic fire. Let’s just say it’s comparable to burning the midnight oil and feeling an inner drive to achieve or prove oneself. Mars is transiting Leo this month and opposing the eclipse. Every sign and planet have a positive and negative side. An opposition is considered a challenging aspect. External events will be occurring, in fact, they probably started prior to the actual eclipse date. As the eclipses approach, it is reaching its peak of energy and that’s when the internal shifts will get activated. It’s either a push in a new direction or an intuitive nudge. For some, it’s an inspirational and creative time. Mars denotes energy, passion, bravery, and courage. Whatever events are culminating during this time, there is a higher purpose.
Luck, Miracles, and Unanswered Prayers
The saving grace is the lucky, beneficial trine to Jupiter. Jupiter brings faith, religion, and spirituality to the eclipse events. Jupiter rules expansion, opportunities, luck, good fortune, and miracles. Whatever is occurring, there is a light at the end tunnel and Jupiter is here is remind people to have faith and not to give up. While some may feel they are emotionally treading water; others can feel so inspired by energies.
Creatively, you can really channel the Aquarian energies and manifest some far-out inventive ideas. Jupiter’s bringing the opportunities; Mars is initiating the action needed to move ahead and draft up some mock products or blueprints for patents. Whatever the creative outlet that is for you, expect a breakthrough. Jupiter’s bringing some opportunities to show off something different, a fresher perspective, eccentric ideas, inventive qualities or quirky fashion. Seriously, Jupiter is in a very harmonious aspect to the eclipse that it is just too easy not to take advantage of this!
