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.

The Question: CAN YOU HELP ME I WAS BORN MARCH 8 1976 858 AM.IM BEYOND DEPRESSED I DONT KNOW WHAT IS MY TALENT BUT I HAVE SO MANY WISHES. GOT OUT OF ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP I KNOW HE DOESNT LOVE ME BUT HES STILL IN MY DREAMS LAST TIME HE CALLED ME ,I TOLD HIM HE HAD NOTHING TO ASK ME OR TALK TO ME ABOUT AND I HUNG UP. HE WAS BORN MAY 6 1980. BUT NOW MY FIRST LOVE CONTACTED ME I WAS 13 HE WAS 19 LAST I SAW HIM WAS WHEN I WAS 15. HE WAS BORN NOV 8 1969 PLEASE HELP

The Answer: You are a Pisces. Guy #1 that you talk about is a Taurus and based on your birth-dates your Sun’s are exactly sextile each other. The sextile creates a lot of sexual chemistry, but by themselves, not enough substance for a really lasting relationship. Looking at his chart, he appears to be very sexual, and charismatic but with a hard streak in his personality – which is not easy for a Pisces. So it created a mild sense of rapport between you, but beyond that you lacked deeper values and substance to glue you together on a deep level. The hard, but empowering choice here is for you to let go of it completely – no matter how hard it is. You say yourself that he doesn’t love you – so let it go, there are lot’s of fish in the sea.

Guy #2 is far more generally compatible, as a Scorpio with his Sun trine your Sun. This is one of the best Sun-Sun combinations possible, so you made a good choice in that way. And from his chart, he certainly appears to be a much sweeter, family oriented guy. But at 13-15 years old, you were WAY too young to make any permanent decisions. This one was a good learning experience and he should have taught you that you never need to accept less – ever.

When I look at your chart, it appears to me that your problems don’t stem from either guy #1 or guy #2, but from your own inner conflicts. The squares in your chart indicate a tendency to self-sabotage and shoot yourself in the foot just when you get close to a dream or goal. This also has some roots in your early childhood or parental patterning. Ultimately, your choice to keep emotionally connected to Guy #1 certainly looks like self sabotage to me. This is a life pattern for you – and it will not change unless you do some inner work to resolve your inner conflict. There is some internal reason why you create drama in your love life and this drama keeps you from living your real destiny. The fastest way that I have seen to resolve these types of inner conflicts is the healing and hypnotherapy work that I do with my clients. If you are interested in setting up a session like this then call (310) 455-2210 or email aura*astrologychick.com (replace * with @).

The Question: Regarding this solar eclipse in Pisces. I have a Chiron at 28 degree in Pisces in my 5th house. I’d like to know what is the significance of this eclipse and the new moon at the same time. How will it effect my life?

The Answer: First of all, the Solar Eclipse can only take place on a New Moon, so all Solar Eclipse’s are also New Moons. The New Moon signals New Beginnings. Solar Eclipse effects are felt up to 3 months before to 3 months after the actual Eclipse. So, even though the eclipse just happened a few days ago (March 18) – you have likely been feeling it for months, and will continue to do so, probably through June.

A few guidelines for interpreting any Solar Eclipse on Natal planet in order of importance:

#1 What aspects other planets make to the Natal Planet (in your case – Chiron in your Natal Chart). This is MORE IMPORTANT, than signs, houses or anything else Astrologers talk about. Aspects are the #1 most important thing. If your planet (Chiron for you) has good aspects, the Solar Eclipse will bring in good things. If your planet (Chiron) has bad aspects, the Solar Eclipse will create stress and struggle.

#2 Look at the dominant themes of the Solar Eclipse in Question. You can refer to my article on this Pisces Solar Eclipse where I describe the revolutionary and disruptive Pluto overtones of this particular Eclipse. This means that the Eclipse will create disruption and upheaval in your life. It could be internal upheaval, or it could be external, but either way there is a personal revolution going on. If YOUR own Planet (Chiron) has good aspects then you will ultimately benefit from this change – the disruption will lead to deeper fulfillment and satisfaction in a relatively painless way. If YOUR own planet (Chiron) has hard aspects (aspects to Saturn, or Squares to any planet) then it will be a difficult period of time for you and your family.

#3 Check the meanings of sign and house placement to get a sense of what type of clothing your Solar Eclipse experiences will be dressed up in. In other words, sign and house placement will only color the experience – not decide if it is hard or easy.

The Pisces Solar Eclipse connecting to Chiron in the 5th house = family concerns, connection to your own creativity and artistic process, children, parents, concern for your role or place within your own family and the “family of man”. Seeking a sense of purpose and meaning, needing a connection to spirit and soul. Overall, this is a spiritual revolution for you, one which asks you to find your sense of place and meaning within family and the broader ‘soul family’ of your community and world. A deepening of life purpose and mission. Finding yourself. This Solar Eclipse will bring deep spiritual renewal and transformation.

Do you have an Astrology question that you’d like me to answer?
I’ve decided to do a Q&A Here on my site.

If you have a question about Astrology, or an aspect between two charts, or some transit that you are currently experiencing? Then please post it as a comment below this blog entry. I will answer at least one question this week, and depending on how many questions I get I will try to get to them all.

This is not an Astrology Reading, but rather a chance to get your questions about Astrology answered and hopefully clear up some misconceptions.

Why am I answering Astrology Questions? Because from my experience of what is available for people to read about Astrology it is either too oversimplified and not really useful, or FAR TOO complicated – and therfore not helpful. My goal is to share information in a way that you can actually use it.

Why Am I qualified to answer these questions? Well, I started using Astrology when I was 9, and my step-mother taught me what she know, at that time I read every book she had on the subject, and by the time I was a teenager I was *hand calculating* all the charts of everyone in my family, and all of my friends.

*Hand Calculating a chart requires doing a lot of math, it is essentially Geometry and Trigonometry. Unfortunately in School they do not explain it that way, so even though I learned to do this in elementary school – once I got to High School I didn’t understand what they were talking about in Trigonometry class! Fortunately today, software does most of this thinking for us now!

Aside from having read all the cookbook Astrology books out there, I have am also familiar with the dozen or so schools of Astrology thinking there are, from Vedic to Uranian etc. I can tell what, in my experience has really worked for people. I am also familiar with tools of Astrology that 99% of the Astrologers in the world don’t even know; and this gives me a far greater accuracy rate.

An example of this is the chart of Tom Cruise. His chart doesn’t look particularly spectacular unless you look at the Heliocentric chart (from the Point of view of the Sun). I call this the Sun Chart and everybody has one. The Sun Chart represents your destiny, the regular chart – the kind you find for free all over the Internet – is your subjective experience of life. Tom Cruise has a perfect Star of David in his Sun Chart. This is THE most powerful planetary pattern that anyone can have. It is two Grand Trines (making 6 Trine Aspects) interlocked to make SIX perfect Sextiles. Trines and Sextiles are the most benevolent aspects anyone can have in a chart, and you are VERY lucky to find 3 or 4 in any chart. They give talents, blessings and easy success in life. Certainly Tom Cruise has had a ton of success. He owes it to his Sun Chart – it tells the story of his special destiny. I will do a full Story on Tom Cruise’s chart soon on this Blog and show you all what I am talking about.
