Happy Birthday, Scorpios everywhere. Today, I am writing about the upcoming Solar Eclipse at 11 degrees of Scorpio. And as I write, Mercury is cuddling up to Saturn – perfect for this profound sign and subject. Mercury will then go back to meet up with the Sun and the Eclipse point (Moon Node). This means lots of deep, serious thinking. However it is not the time to make decisions based on anything that comes up until Mercury goes direct.

The Eclipse is interesting as it is right beside Saturn and makes a nice aspect to Jupiter – lots going on then for me to write about and you to enjoy, then. You may wish to look at what happened around the last 3rd November Solar Eclipse in 1994. The effect of an eclipse usually lasts for a year, sometimes 2 years. Eclipses have a 19 year repeat pattern, so sometimes we can learn something about how we’re handling events that have a long time span between them. The astrological House an eclipse falls in is the key to understanding here. See below for further enlightenment. I also look at the planet that it sits with and the house the planet rules.

Just need to say that the troublesome Uranus/Pluto square is exact again on Friday – this is the aspect that seems to be the marker for the breakdown of all our institutions. As it is only halfway through the cycle, there will be more to come – I’ll keep you posted.

Here in the UK, it seems to be the energy crisis that is the issue of the day. Nuclear power is on the table again and people are raising objections. When I lived in France in the early 80s, they already had nuclear energy plants providing their household electricity and no one seemed fussed, to be honest. However, Uranus and Pluto (Uranium and Plutonium) do seem to create their own fallout in the world whether in a plant or just across our institutions.

Venus is leaping ahead of the Sun and will start to slow down in December, ready to retrograde. In the UK it is our evening star – a great bright shining herald of beauty and transformation. I always love to see her.

Aries : 21st March – 20th April: The Solar Eclipse falls in your 8th House of shared resources, taxes, insurance, mortgages with Saturn ruling your 10th House of career. This is not a good time to make huge purchases that require financing – care must be the taken lest debt makes a dent in your resources and your financial security through the next year. With Saturn here, it can certainly slow things down for you – but Saturn is ever sensible and resourceful, so will help you rearrange your income/outcome to reach some kind of inner peace. Your career could be demanding a great deal from you, however it’s always good to stick rather than move, because ultimately Saturn will reward your patience.

Jupiter will bring you joy from your own personal earnings and possessions.

A child who has already left home may return. A new fun relationship could turn serious and will need some deep thinking about what you really want from it and where to go next with it.

A sibling may have problems that require your energy to help sort out. Your neighbours may change and you find the new ones aren’t to your liking. You may find that your children decide they would like a whole new future that demands a lot from you to accommodate. You may stake a short course to brush up on your creative skills.

Saturn’s presence will make you serious about all your options, as you will be making long term decisions for your future. The things that were important to you once will no longer have the same effect – so your choices will change as a result. Jupiter will bring you joy from a new vocation.

You may start new projects or ventures which could have a long term impact on your life, thanks to Saturn’s enduring qualities. In other words, you’re in it for the long haul. You may decide to write or take a short course or even teach one. New ambitions may surface and take you by surprise – if it isn’t serious, however, forget it! Jupiter will bring you joy from your travels or higher learning.

It is a good time for you to get health checks and then get a good regime in place to enable you to emerge fit and well once this period is over. It would be wise to not seek a new job. This is perfect for doing research work, writing poetry or history. You will need to escape into your imagination and your deeper core of mystical leanings – be careful not to overspend on a trip to the ashram, no matter how much you would like to.
