◉ TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE IN ARIES ◉ on October 8th 2014. This Eclipse is the second of the Tetrad of Eclipses and will be visible all over North and South America, the Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and East Asia.
Highly recommend you take time to witness this awe-inspiring moment when the bright Full Moon is covered by the Earth’s shadow and turns into a beautiful blood red Moon.
No two Eclipses are the same as there are always different energies at play. With a Grand Fire Trine, and the Pluto/Uranus square being activated, this one will surely spark some *transformational* energies. So let’s stay grounded, with our feet deeply rooted into Mother Earth, centered in our hearts and open to what these creative and fiery energies will bring forth.
Here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights from our beloved featured astrologers. To begin, the wise ROBERT WILKINSON from Aquarius Papers sheds wisdom on Eclipses. He says:
“There is a lot of fear and trepidation connected to Eclipses…No Astrological event need be ‘bad,’ or have ‘evil’ effects, regardless of whether we’re using Vedic, Chinese, Western, or any other approach to defining ‘All-That-Is’ within a precise system of space-time factors…”
“Pattern is everything, and time is a continuity...We who explore Astrology can see patterns, but EVERYTHING is ‘free will’ in a higher or lower sense of that concept. How we respond to any challenge or circumstance entirely determines the outcome. Period. There is no Astrological configuration or event that can override our potential responses.
“Everything depends on our acuity, intelligence, and willingness to do whatever it takes to bring order out of chaos, and wisdom out of experience…”

A wonderful breakdown from astrologer DIVINE HARMONY:
“The second Total Lunar Eclipse in a series of four (called a tetrad of Total Lunar Eclipses) is exact early Wednesday morning, October 8th at 3:56am PDT (Full Moon is exact at 3:51am).
“…The first in this tetrad series was on April 15th, 2014- and the last two will be on April 4th 2015 and September 27th.
“All four of them are in the signs of Aries and Libra- bringing a huge focus to the endings, changes, transformations, death and rebirth experiences playing out in the collective masculine/feminine dynamic and in relationships of all kinds.
“…The total lunar eclipse this month is HUGELY significant- perhaps even the most powerful in the whole series for a couple of reasons.
“First of all this potent Total Eclipse is conjunct Uranus and square Pluto- activating the Uranus/Pluto square that has been ongoing since the first exact square on June 24th 2012 and still has two more exact squares to go (December 14th 2014 and March 16th 2015).
“This really intense Uranus/Pluto dynamic has a life of it’s own and when an eclipse comes along to trigger it- it can be like throwing more fuel on the already hot and dynamic transformational fire…”
“To add to this both the Moon and Uranus will be perigee two days before the eclipse (Monday October 6th)- meaning both bodies will be orbiting the closest to earth than they ever do during their cycle.
“The Moon perigee causes higher and lower tides as well as higher emotional energy- and Uranus perigee can incite more rebellion, unrest, shake ups and wake up calls.
“To also add in the fact this eclipse is TOTAL- we see quite the picture shaping up for radical shifts, changes, endings and new beginnings in our personal and collective lives!
“The main fixed star in the chart is Alpheratz- who is conjunct both the Moon and Uranus. Alpheratz is a fixed star that demands freedom and movement- it does not like being hemmed in. With the Moon/Uranus conjunction in fiery, restless and impulsive Aries- we may find our action/anger/aggression energies heightened!
“Not wanting to be fenced in, reigned in or limited in any way is a likely reaction to this eclipse- yet we want to be careful that we are responding rather than reacting, as the latter done impulsively or without thought or consciousness can get us into trouble!
“In the eclipse chart there is a very powerful Grand Fire Trine between Moon/Uranus in Aries, Jupiter and Black Moon Lilith in Leo and Mars in Sagittarius.
“Considering Mars is the ruler of this lunation and he is out of bounds- meaning he goes beyond the bounds of the Sun and has his energy more purely expressed (and also perhaps exacerbated and more reckless)- I see either a recipe for disaster, accidents and unexpected events OR a recipe for action, illumination, inspiration and innovation.
“Of course it really is up to us and how we work with this energy that is the deciding factor about how it will manifest.
“And wherever Mars in Sagittarius is transiting in your chart is the area of life where you can really get the ball rolling and move mountains and/or go overboard and recklessly or impulsively get yourself into trouble (so be aware!).
“…In order to move towards the North Node and grow beyond our past patterns we have to be willing to do things differently- as it is only when we do something different that we can start to create new neural pathways in the brain.
“With the Libra evolutionary focus we are asked to find balance, work towards peace, and work in harmony with each other- in a way that promotes compromise and collaboration rather than simply sweeping things under the carpet…”
“…Fire represents Spirit- and there is an awakening of Spirit happening right now. Fire also represents anger- and there may very well be things bubbling up in our personal and collective Unconscious that we need to deal with and address.
“The good news is that if you are proactive about making changes in your life and taking responsibility for your own evolution- then the Higher Mind gifts of Uranus and the evolutionary potential of the Eclipse opens up to you!
“This is not to say that as you become more conscious you can control everything more- but rather that as you become more conscious you become better able to be present and centered in your life, no matter what comes at you. And from this place even destruction can be seen as a creative act- birthing you into something new.”
