The Question: Hi Aura,
You do have the most refreshing, unusual and complete “take” on astrology that I have witnessed. Having said that, here are two questions involving solar eclipses. My birthdate is (OK, I hate saying this!,) 8/9/1942, Columbus, Ohio, 1:37am. On May 30/31/2003 a solar eclipse hit my Gemini ascendant with Saturn & Uranus conjuncting. Difficult, difficult circimstances followed. Still dealing with them, but understanding them somewhat.It was hell & I did not even see what the circumstances or consequences would be, even though I knew that it was happening. I stayed up all night during the eclipse, speaking to my Higher Self & meditating. Too late. The path that I had chosen was wrong & I knew it. Now, I will be having my Neptune (28+ Virgo)in the fifth house opposed by this eclipse. I know that it involves my children who I love so much, but we have taken different paths. I have known for several years that my relationship with my two beloveds must make a major change in some way. I have been consciously on a spiritual path, most likely since birth. They are not. They are fabulous people, very brilliant, very successful & do everything “right” in the outer world. I have been told inwardly that there would be a break with them for many, many years. No special people allowed for me & I must give my life over to the Creator, no matter how much it hurts. I mostly hurt and feel guilty from being distant from three beautiful grandchildren.
Any advice? I could sure use it. This is very painful & I need to know that I am on the correct track.
Thank you so very much for any advice or knowledge you may see in this instance.
Very truly yours,
Maryanne

The Answer: First of all, thank you Maryanne.
Well this is half an Astrology Question and half not. First the Astrology part: Any Eclipse that involves Saturn will be a really difficult one, as you said it was for you. But the interesting thing here is that the Eclipse hit Saturn and Uranus. Saturn is the Rulemaker and Uranus is the Rulebreaker. Both connect to the Root Chakra which is the primal level of existence, and survival issues. This primal level operates under the divine law, “The law of laws.” which basically states that we must become aware of the laws and work within them - or suffer the consequences. Everything on earth and in the Universe operates under sets of laws. Gravity, for example is inescapable on planet Earth. So, beyond the circumstaces you are working through, the lesson here is for you to get perfectly clear about the laws of you life and how you are either blindly obeying false laws (not based on spiritual truth) or blindly rebelling against actual laws that must be obeyed. This requires getting clear about what those laws are, and how to work with them to your benefit. Of course the challenge is trying to see that which you may not be aware of, sometimes outside help can be necessary.

Second is your question about the current Eclipse opposed to your Neptune in the 5th. Please refer to my Eclipse Interpretations Guidelines post to see how I suggest you look at it. Basically Neptune can mean a lot of things - and your children is not necessarily the area where it will manifest. What IS true, and what IS based on divine law is the truth that whatever you focus on will expand. So if you don’t want problems with your kids, then stop focusing on that idea. Remember, focusing on problems expands them. If you want a good relationship with them - then focus on your common ground and your love for them. One thing that is certain is that if you keep your focus where it is right now, then you will keep having the problems you are having. The good news here is that all you have to do is take command of the ship that is your life and steer it somewhere else!

And finally, perhaps it is a good idea to rethink your idea of spirit or god or universe. After all, who want’s to live under the tyranny of spiritual cruelty that keeps you apart from what you love. If you believe this to be true, then I guarantee that it will be. If you change your concepts and bring them into alignment with divine truth - then these problems do not have to be true - not by a long shot. But in order for anything to change, you must be willing to captain your ship and take it to clearer waters, or get the outside assistance that will show you how.
