what is going on – as if a portal to another dimension opens and energy flushes into our earthly dimension. This is perhaps why, eclipses are referred to as times when Kings die…but in truth, Kings are also born during eclipses – by “King,” we may refer to people who have strong leadership and a special destiny to fulfill. In our personal lives, this time of accel- eration and activation, can have us meet meaningful people, make important deci- sions, and experience intense changes. We may experience tremendous development, or perhaps losses. Whatever it is, it happens fast and it often marks us deeply. The Lunar Eclipse on October 8, lands on a T-square between Uranus/Pluto/Venus, and so it can signify a turning of tables in relationships. This can apply on both per- sonal and political levels…enemies may speak to one another, and friends may go their separate ways. This eclipse will land very strategically on the chart of Vladimir Putin and Benyamin Netanyahu, Russian and Israeli leaders respectively. The Solar Eclipse on October 23 con- juncts Venus at 0 Scorpio. This also hap- pens to be the day that Mercury stands direct – close to the Lunar Eclipse degree. Did we mention a time of “activation” and setting things in motion? You bet Hillary Clinton will make her big move around this time, and we will hear about Angela Merkel and Francois Holland, German and French leaders respectively, who have this solar eclipse conjunct their natal Saturn. Kari Noren Hoshal L unar Eclipse 16 degrees Aries on October 8th at 6:51 a.m. EDT The Moon between the S. Node and Uranus in Aries makes for a moody and impulsive day. Don’t make a snap decision you could later regret. You are ready to take bold action to “do something different” for once! It is ok to go ahead with unselfish gut feelings. The Sun is also between Venus and the N. Node. This is a “party” day for self- expression and creativity. A new friendship or relationship may spring up. Just avoid over self -indul- gence. The Sabian Symbol today is “Fairies Dancing In The Setting Sun.” The dance of life is an unending rehearsal of the spe- cial talents we have. The keyword is “Invigoration!” There is opportu- nity as the result of effort and good karma. Solar Eclipse 1 degree Scorpio on October 23rd at 5:57 p.m. EDT In Washington D.C., Uranus squares the Midheaven today. Public criticism of the government is likely this month. Both the Sun and Moon are con- junct Venus. The North Node is both sextile Jupiter and conjunct Mercury. Messages regarding Justice can be expressed through a powerful demonstration. The Sabian Symbol today is “A Sightseeing Bus.” Man is encouraged to reach out widely to share his realiza- tions with his fellows. The key word is “cooperation.” Mercury’s retrograde at 17 degrees Libra today indicates rumination on important issues that is delaying an announcement until after the 25th. * Dr. Bernadette Brady ‘The Eagle and the Lark’ Kathryn Andren O ctober 2014 is a very exciting time with two powerful eclipses. First on October 8th, the Moon at 15 Aries is eclipsed near unpredictable Uranus. Then October 23, Sun and Moon meet near Venus at 1 Scorpio for a partial solar eclipse. Be sure to look at the houses in your own person- al birth chart to see where these potent points energize your life. Eclipses are a time to honor hidden mysteries. Have the cour- age to dive deep and savor unseen secrets. The total lunar eclipse on October 8th falls at 15 degrees on the Aries Libra axis. Moon near Uranus in Aries energizes ele- vated inspiration supported by this month’s grand fire trine. Reflect what happened for you six months ago during the epic Cardinal Cross and last lunar eclipse April 13. What part of your world is experiencing a systems reset in the realms of relationship and individuality? The partial solar eclipse at zero Scorpio October 23 is a time to sow the seeds of intimacy as Sun and Moon meet voluptuous Venus. What do you truly value, who do you love and how you share your life force are ques- tions to contemplate for this eclipse. Remember, the first half of October features a grand fire trine including Mars, Jupiter and Uranus. This alignment is most potent during October 4 - 10. Fire signs illuminate intuition and action. Trust intuition will lead you to right action, at the right place, in the right time. Mars in Sagittarius asserts optimism, Uranus in Aries instigates action while Jupiter in Leo expands heartfelt radiance. The heat is on and so it the potency to birth new projects and plans, despite Mercury retrograde October 4 - 25. Can you see the October eclipses?
