I'll be offering you several articles explaining the ”Christ Fest” Partial Lunar Eclipse at 15 degrees of Sagittarius-Gemini over the next few days. At this point I'll remind you that no eclipse of itself is "bad," nor do we have anything to fear. This one brings tremendous changes, widespread endings, deeper compassion, and an understanding of larger universal patterns in life. Destiny is definitely on the move over the next 4 1/2 months!
I've composed quite a few articles on past eclipses in the archives that bear re-visiting, since many Solar Eclipses of recent years are still manifesting results, if traditional Eclipse lore is to be believed. I went into the timeline of Eclipse effects in the article, The Solar Eclipse - What It Means and Its Effect On Our Life, as well as many other elements of what we can expect from these recurring celestial events. When you're done here, please check it out, since the numerous Solar Eclipses of the past few years are still in major play in all our lives!
For now, though, here's an important article explaining even more about what effects we can expect to result from Lunar and Solar Eclipses. Though some of you are already familiar with its contents, it always bears revisiting, if only for refreshing your knowledge that may help you explain Eclipse effects to others who may wonder what they’re all about. For your reconsideration, The Solar and Lunar Eclipse - Is Any Eclipse Destined to Have Bad Effects?
To whet your appetites, here is a bit from the article:
There is a lot of fear and trepidation connected to Eclipses, an unfortunate leftover from previous centuries when Eclipses were believed to augur the fall of empires, dynasties, and powerful people anywhere the Eclipse shadow fell. While Eclipses do tend to shut down some elements in the area of life (house) in which they fall, this is not necessarily a bad thing, since we must bring some things to an end if we are to embrace newer, better ways of doing our Being. While the future effects of an Eclipse may be powerful, in that they last over a long period, they are not necessarily bad.No Astrological event need be "bad," or have "evil" effects, regardless of whether we're using Vedic, Chinese, Western, or any other approach to defining "All-That-Is" within a precise system of space-time factors. Though a circumstance may seem to have "bad" omens for the future, we can always transcend any negativity and turn the future to beneficent possibilities. No matter where an Eclipse falls, we can turn it to good.
Here it is important to remember Astrology is not a "predictive" art, in the usual way this is understood. The craft is less deterministic than most believe, including we professional Astrologers who seem to be able to "hit the mark" regarding future manifestations.
Pattern is everything, and time is a continuity. By knowing the past and present, we can often extrapolate the future. But we can never know how a being will respond to any given life challenge, whether pleasant or painful. Each has their ability to respond as they choose in the moment.
This directly related to the concept that each planet has a duality of function. It is up to us to determine whether the Moon, Sun, Mercury or any other planet involved in eclipses, "bad" aspects, configurations and other phenomena manifests productively or non-productively.
To remind you, a square can be more productive than a trine, and an opposition can produce awareness. Polarization is only a problem on the ego level. Seen from a higher angle, oppositions are necessary for us to acquire objectivity and the ability to encompass duality within a higher view.
By all means, check out the entire article, since I explained how past eclipses affected my chart, and gave examples of the good that can come after an eclipse removes old patterns. I suspect this coming “High Moon Christ Fest” Partial Lunar Eclipse will bring great blessings to many through helping us see larger patterns of the future-in-the-making, so that we can participate in social experiences that help us experience a sense of rebirth.
This one opens ideas that will take form as new truths and futures, as well as new relationships that are more suited to who we have become over the past couple of years. And of course, if you want to know a little more about this Eclipse, please check out yesterday's article.
See you soon with more on this 2012 Gemini-Sagittarius Partial Total Lunar Eclipse!

While pondering your reference to "sea changes" at the solar eclipse, I could not help thinking about fall lake turnover. In the summer the top layers of the lake water warm from the sun, while the bottom of lake remains cool. In the autumn as the upper layers cool, the water begins to mix and the lake turns over to a top to bottom stable water temp.
Everything is indeed moving, turning over and integrating. There's no choice, no decision involved. I have to participate and roll with it. And while I enjoy the daily work, there is something futuristic about it as if I am positioning myself for the future.
I found a bottle of old champagne in the back of the cupboard. I'm saving it for when my ship sets out on the new seas. In the meantime, I've got work to do.

Oh I get this, I'm at the beginning of the end of a saturn cycle. I think I know where I am headed, but I do not discount the element of surprise that I experienced at the first return either.
Glad my fuzz made some semblence of sense, Terry. Neptune placement is being poked at the moment.

enjoy the journey... save not the champagne, savor it now, for life must be lived, not put on hold. Every step, every breath.. all that matters is the here and now; people in the here and now. Journeys are never linear, like the thought processes of some people, they are circular, convoluted, but all return to the start point.. the return of innocence- innocence lost, and rediscovered along the way. be happy one be happy all. enjoy the international, intergalactic, inter-cosmic ride and all the colourful people met along the way. every one. WHITE light. WHITE.... light.......white snow, white clouds above the skies of the capital DC, white sands of brazil....... light and love. "lanasvetachkella ekka inna hondin adarayen"

When the champagne is right, it shall be done. In perpetual motion, I am incapable of forcing events to be. Rollin, rollin, rollin down the river . . . Hey, it's the river. You know what that means. Yup, movin to the sea.

The lake & the champagne!

ull, there is nothing better than skinny dipping in the moonlit lake. And the champagne, that's an added bonus. Bubbly good fun. Ah so tempting. There is no physical lake nearby, so I am moving the champagne to the car trunk for when the lake shows up. I'm edging closer. : D
This ending saturn cycle is in my 12th, so I am in an intensive work cycle, procrastinator that I am. I thought I found an old flattened penny in ye ol granary. No glasses and too dark to discern so I threw it in my pocket. It showed up in the bottom of the wash tub all clean and clear. It's a 1932 prosperity coin for 10 cents off any laxative. The only thing suggestive of laxative I found on the property were old wood box crates with California Prunes stamped on them.
Broke out the old concrete cow water tank and found model A axel, leaf springs, and cast iron runners from the horse sleigh used as rebar. So thrifty my ancestors. They didn't waste nuthin.

Actually there is a lake not far for from here - Stockholm is surrounded by nature. A lot of water everywhere. I feel safe when I look at the big green trees. I think they protect me. Next weekend I will go to a Avalokiteshvara initiation. Saturn goes through my 10th house - last time saturn was in libra I was in great danger in the Caribbean this time mother very sick up in the North.

November rain playing in the background... nice..sets the mood. incapable of forcing events.. interesting.
SO Jayanath Hewage AKA Robert (noble philanthropist, astrologer who shares his knowledge with everyone so generously) the time has come for you to exit. leave me be. Take response- ability for your actions. they must be rooted in integrity, not just for the world to see, especially in those dark places invisible to all but you. Anything contradictory would be living a lie no? Be real be true.. you inspire so many.. when you take on such a large responsibility- auch as educating the public on morals and ethics.. when you write to make people think.. think about whats right and wrong in this world.. A basic requirement expected from the person (you) would be to pratice the smae in his life. live upto the name of your site. Aquarius papers. Aquarius- epitomizes honesty and truth does it not?

Hi faquariusoraquarius (a troll who has been dumping on this site for months) - Consider yourself out of bounds of normal civilized behaviour. You are a troll who is obsessing on things that clearly indicate to all who visit here that you probably need more than a little therapy. Please take your own exit from this cantina, and stop pestering others with your own obsession. Por Favor. From this point on I will not accept posts from you. This is not your forum nor your community. Truly, please let this community be. That includes me.

Hi all - The very disturbed person who hides under many names and posts crazy stuff did it again, and I had to depublish it due to it being extremely paranoid, obsessive, and histrionic. (They're obviously not handling the Grand Irrationality very well!) They believe they are persecuted, and blame some semi-psychotic perceptions on someone named "Jayanath Hewage." (I found some crazy stuff they've posted in you tube comment streams.) It seems they're having a problem with their own boundaries, and laying some things on me and this community. They've confused me with whoever "Jayanath Hewage" may be, if such a being exists anywhere outside their own head. Just letting you all know. If you meditate, please send them healing thoughts (and affirm they will find some help and leave this community alone.)
