~ October 2005 Newsletter Index ~ Solar Eclipseby Ivo/Lisa Dorr
Libra Solar eclipses focus our attention on partnership and the ongoing balancing act between independence and cooperation. Eclipses are not solitary events they connect cycles within cycles; Oct 3, 1986 was the last ten-degree Libra Eclipse. What were you doing 19 years ago? Who were you with? What were you doing for work? Where were you on your Spiritual path? Your life is a series of connections and each pivotal point in time is linked. You are now ready to complete what was happening then or take it to the next level. Wherever Libra falls in your natal birth chart (the houses) are the areas of your life that will be most activated. Libra rules relationships; you grow now most through partnerships rather than through flying solo. In astrology we are always asking, who, what, where: “Who (Sun), what (Libra), where (Seventh house)?” There are twelve constellations and twelve houses in your natal chart. These twelve areas of life show where your energy will be focused for the next six months. Our birth chart, is a road map revealing where our initiations, and opportunities for advancement will be, astrology is a Cosmic Clock. Timing is everything! The harvest season has commenced now is the cycle to share, collaborate, and strengthen your Self through partnering with others (Libra). United we stand and we are here in life together. What would you like to harvest this season? Is this your cycle for advancing, maintaining or changing everything? What if the very best of you, has yet to be fully expressed? Venus the ruling planet of Libra is in Scorpio at the time of the eclipse pulling us into our deepest desires and fears and Venus is in direct opposition with her male counterpart Mars the god of war. This dynamic duo will ignite passion, sexual attraction, libido sizzles, love intensifies, and attractions to others are like cupid on steroids. The more we try to suppress our desires the greater our infatuations and revelations will be experienced. Stay conscious of your ego (dark side) and your light (Higher Self). Mars in Taurus is retrograde from October 1, 2005 until December 10, 2005. We are in a two-month cycle of re-evaluation of our desires and the strategies we have used to achieve them. Mars usually moves through a sign in a two-month cycle. Yet, because of his retrograde phase, he will be in Taurus for six months July 27, 2005 – February 17, 2006. This is an excellent cycle to work on our money, security, and prosperity consciousness. The need to re-examine career and relationship objectives is heightened now. What we want and how we pursue it may be very different by February 2006.
