April 2015 Lunar Eclipse - Tricksters and transformation
/
April 4th at 5:01 am EST we have a total Lunar eclipse ! This one follows the
total Solar Eclipse of March 20th. These are like book ends of a transformation
process. You may have noticed how much has come up to your awareness in the
past two weeks. You have likely felt waves of new wonderful energy mixed with some awakenings that may have been a surprise, shock or relief. You are definitely not
alone in this.
This eclipse falls at 14' Libra which means it is sitting on the fixed star of
Algorab - the crow
. According to this great article on
"This lunar eclipse falls on the notorious fixed star Algorab which has quite
a fearsome reputation. As I said in the Libra decan 2 post “it’s all wrapped
up in finest Venusian silk! This is where victims of the crafty crow come
unstuck. You can see your opponents from the more obviously aggressive
decans coming. But you just don’t expect such a low down and dirty attack
from your divinely adorable Libra decan 2. Never, ever, ever underestimate
Libra decan 2, even if they look like Barbie. A lot of them will play dumb deliberately. Gold-diggers and gigolos abound here…”
Crows are thought to be tricksters in the totem tradition as well. They are very
clever. They can use tools, create and play games, and remember a human by
face...and they have a long memory. The crow tends to show up when you are
about to undergo a big transformative period that often involves some sort of
death and rebirth aspect. Since we are dealing with trickster energy in this coming eclipse, stop and think of where you may be allowing yourself to be fooled. We may be
shown a blind spot - and it could liberate us or disappoint us depending on how
awake we have been to it in the first place.
This New Moon will be conjunct the North Node, opposing the Sun, Mercury and
Uranus, and Square Pluto - which by now you're used to hearing about. This means that
whatever conflict - inner or outer may arise, power is a part of this equation. One
party or side of you wants control, and the other wants to break free. The North
Node on this moon affirms that you will be following your inner guidance in the
RIGHT way if you trust your body and your emotions over anything else. Your
body will tell you what is the right thing for you to do.
Overall I am sensing a great relief with this eclipse. There is a sense of unfinished
business, and a shoe to drop - not in a bad way, more like a "hurry up and get it
over with " feeling. Just be honest with yourself no matter what happens and
allow this shift to happen. Your life will open up and the year is set in motion
for the Goat.
