Partial Lunar Eclipse: October 17, 2005 (Minor Planets)

This is an almost eclipse of the Moon in Aries. But the Moon is in a close conjunction to the centaur Thereus. Am I who I am or am I what I do? That is the question that Thereus delivers. To find out, measure the element of sacrifice involved in your work (square Vesta). Measure the level of truth (square Varuna). The Sun in this chart is conjunct Jupiter, in the late degrees of Libra. This arrangement is, in turn, square Chiron/Nessus. This is a lunar eclipse, but the theme seems to be about father. What did your father do? Did he ever take you to work? Did he talk about work? How did his work affect his relationship with your mother? We can make up our ideas about work based on reactions we have to these kinds of scenes, you know. We have to do better, because even though the world is vibrating and the New Age is coming in like a flock of F-17s, you have to love your work, and you can't be hung up about it if you want to love it. The Aries eclipse allows you to forget a little of who you are. Just a little; just enough to remember something else. One last bit. Mercury in Scorpio is conjunct Pallas Athene. This is conjunct Panacea. The solution to your relationship problems, if you have any, and you do, resides in talking about sex. Really talking about sex. I mean really, really talking about it. Down to the last detail. What you did, what you do, and what you like. More to the point, what you need. I mean really need. Love and work -- that's the way, brothers and sisters. Love, work and therapy. Onward with us.
