How shiny are your memories? How tight do you hold onto
the idea of “what if?” If you are sensible, your fingers will be flexible. If
not, if you are stiff and grasping onto that golden ideal, this eclipse will
indeed pull this fantasy of perfection in an alternate life from your cold dead
fingers. Got it? Good.
We have a very intense full moon eclipse in Sagittarius
on June 4th. Lunar eclipses behave like super powered full moons,
focused on shining a bright light on all that we hide, and bringing things to a
close or resolution. Sometimes these things can come across us like a soft
breeze, or hit us like a Mac truck. It all depends on how stubborn we are.
We are all lucky in this lunar eclipse. While Sagittarius
is a fire sign, it lacks the feral, wild energy of Aries and the incandescent
burn of Leo. No, Sagittarius doesn’t have a mean bone in its body. After all, its ruling planet is Jupiter, the
dude who wants everyone to just be cool.
At its core, it wants to teach us through playful thought, and wants us to
think outside the box.
The world is too large for Sagittarius to worry about a
past that teaches us nothing, a past that merely drags us down. With this soft
energy, this sweet burning fire, this eclipse wants to shine a soft light on
the dark corners, to tell us with a joke and a nudge how much we messed up, but
that we are all still ok and can learn from our mistakes, and that nothing is
for naught.
Due to its strange aspects to Venus/Saturn and
Mars/Moon, it will help heal any love triangles that exist. NOTE: this could be
a triangle between a lover and work/family/addictions/commitment issues…
During this eclipse, we find that Saturn, the planet of
hard lessons and restraints, is downright giddy in his sweet trine with lovely
Venus. Saturn will only ask of us patience, and tenacity, instead of the usual
blood, sweat and tears.
If we can give
him this, the rewards we will see heaped upon us by the end of the summer will
be astounding. That’s just the way Saturn works.
This Lunar Eclipse is determined to wrap things up. It’s
like an energetic kid, bouncing up and down, waiting for you to finish up your
work so you can come outside and play. By play, Sagittarius wants us to think
about reading, working and travel; anything that will expand our minds and our
world. The work we are supposed to do is to let go of the nonsense, the ideas
and things that just no longer serve us. The very things, if we are honest,
never did us any good to begin with. If we can do this, and pull away from the
past, we have freedom. Things may come to an end, but it will be the kind of
end that brings peace and wisdom devoid of bitterness .After all, bitterness
and regrets is just not a Sagittarius’s style.
Don’t be like Gizmo, our favorite Gremlin. This bright
light can’t hurt you.
