Eclipses

"Planetary Eclipses -- Lunar (LE) and Solar (SE)

Eclipses tend to signal significant change and new information. They can sometimes signal a stressful time, mainly due to the shift in circumstances that may occur. Try to avoid making important decisions during an eclipse as the energy around you will tend to be unsettled and changeable.

Solar eclipses (SE) are closely associated with new beginnings and their effects can last up to one year. Lunar eclipses (LE) are associated with completion or endings and their effects can last up to six months. We may start to experience an eclipse up to 30 days prior to the event, and no two eclipses are alike (based on patterns, aspects, degrees, etc.). Some eclipses affect us more than others based on our birth charts. It’s wise to consult an astrologer, which usually proves to be a good investment. It's also wise to wait at least a week for things to settle after an eclipse before making any important or final decisions. 2009 eclipses are:

January 26 = SE
February 9 = LE
These two eclipses can invoke change; either seeking new associations, deepening your commitment with current relationships, or discovering new creativity.

July 7 = LE
July 21 = SE
August 5 = LE
These three eclipses represent reformation (reacting to failure—breakdown to breakthrough). Get unstuck. Find ways to renew and regenerate not only your career and finances, but particularly your health."
