The Eclipses Are Coming - Inspirations Long Forgotten Coming Back

February 6 and February 20, 2008Eclipses usually come in twos, a solar and a lunar, but occasionally we will get three in a row. We have 2 sets of 2 eclipses coming in 2008, 2 in February and 2 more in August. We've had eclipses bouncing around in Virgo and Pisces for almost the past 2 years. We have one more on February 20, and then Virgo, Pisces, you are done with changes for about 8 years. This year it will be Leo and Aquarius living through the dynamic process.Eclipses bring changes good and bad. Solar eclipses are usually new beginnings, and Lunar eclipses represent endings. Where these eclipses occur on our natal charts tell us how they will affect us personally. An eclipse is about 10 times more powerful than a full moon or a new moon. So, if you have a tendency to go ballistic on the full moon anyhow, you may want to check into the psych ward ahead of time (just kidding, but you get my drift). If the eclipse is near your birthday, there could be some big changes in store for you for the whole year following your birthday.The solar eclipse on February 6 will have the greatest visibility from southern Australia and Antarctica, so if you have some extra vacation time and money, Australia would be the place to be. For the rest of us, it will feel like a very powerful New Moon, and you know what to do on the New Moon... Write that wish list. Wishes and goals are extremely powerful on the New Moon. This Solar eclipse in Aquarius will also be conjunct with Mercury in retrograde. Solar eclipses are for new beginnings, and Mercury retrograde brings up the past. It will be an excellent time to connect with an old friend, or maybe start doing something you used to do, like exercise. It is also an excellent time to launch a new business or a new project.The lunar eclipse on February 20 will be visible for the eastern half of North America, and it will occur at 10:26 PM eastern time. Lets hope for a clear night, so we can watch it. Pluto will be shaking hands with our Sun-Moon opposition that night, and that means even more powerful transformations. The Moon with be in the earth sign of Virgo and the sun in watery Pisces. But, with Pluto in the mix, when we blend these planets, we will not get mud. We will get enlightenment. It will be a great time to make some healthy changes in our lives. Those of us in therapy, may find that we make some quantum leaps during this eclipse. It will also be a great time to destroy things. Ready to do
