Choices, choices, choices! Under the partial new moon eclipse taking place on March 18, 2007 we will be facing choices in our lives. The eclipse is visible in Asia, China and India so those geographic areas and peoples on our blue and green globe spinning in the void of the cosmos will be exceptionally active, facing and making choices over the next six months. However, we ALL will experience the energy of the solar eclipse as the globe feels the new moon energy at the very last degrees of Pisces.

Eclipses at the last degrees, the dying or anaretic degrees of any sign, mark major final, finishing endings and major brand new beginnings. Eclipses at the last sign in the last degrees of the zodiac, like this one in Pisces, mark endings of major development and enormous evolutionary cycles in our lives, the world and the lives of all around us.

Think about it. Haven‘t you noticed a particularly poignant series of calls to move towards your future, even if you aren‘t 100% sure WHAT exactly your future is or HOW it will show up? Haven‘t you noticed that the old stuff ~ old patterns, old habits, old routines, old structures, old beliefs, old situations, old relationships, old people, old places, old things, old sacrifices, old service issues, old choices, old decisions, old work, and old feelings all want to shift into some sort of new form?

So let the old stuff alone. No picking at it or worrying about it or nagging at it. It is in the process of changing. Saturn is taking care of the old stuff. He’s large and in charge. Saturn’s got a plan and he‘s working his plan. Saturn is working on transforming your old stuff and getting it ready for your new life. Let the Saturn guide and direct the old stuff shift toward the new form it is going to take. It is one of those have a bit of trust in the universe and in your Saturn to do the right thing kind of moments. Leave your old stuff to be quiet and alone with Saturn. Leave your old stuff to sit by and with Saturn. Saturn has your back.

Now, there IS something you can do! You can work in tandem WITH your Saturn! Go and finish up what you can CLEARLY and CLEANLY accomplish ~ do the work that is before you. Do the work that needs to be wrapped up. Do the work that will finalize the current chapter and phase of your life. Shred the papers, organize the files, clean out storage devices, throw out stuff, clean up databases, release, restructure, revise, reorganize, revision, rebuild, renovate as Saturn continues to go backwards towards his station mid- April. Do your Saturn by finishing things up and letting the finished items head off out into the world. Pack the boxes, get the real estate agent over to check out the house, do work towards where you want to go. All these tasks are good uses of Saturn as he goes backward. Also do the Saturn things you love to do ~ the fun parts of your Saturn. Avoid the vexing and worrying parts of your Saturn. Let Saturn handle the worries, vexes and old worn out parts while you concentrate on the stuff you can do something about.

The other thing you can do is work with Neptune ~ dream, envision and make plans ~ life plans, business plans, career plans, and dream plans. Make a list of all the things that depress you about your life ~ what would you like to see or have change in each and every one of these areas?

The thing to remember is Saturn is still moving backwards so it feels like you future is not moving forward right now! That is how it is supposed to feel. Stuck, stalled or waiting. Inert. We are waiting. We are revealing. We are learning things. We are seeing things. We are letting go of our old patterns, problems and issues. Until Saturn moves direct ~ mid-April, it is a time of exposure and revision and recognition of what has gone on. You can’t DO anything about it but become more and more conscious. You can go and look into it. You can learn to understand it.

The eclipse features Mars in Aquarius just past his broken hearted tribal wound of Chiron and about to join with Neptune. The resonance of the energy asks us to move resolutely toward our vision of what we seek regardless of the support (or lack of it) from our community.

The three, Chiron, Mars and Neptune, are opposite Saturn in Leo ~ bouncing the energy back and forth between the planet of structure and the planet of illusion. Saturn co-rules the Aquarius planets asking them to examine their pride, their loyalties, their king, their belief in the rules that they follow. Chiron, Mars and Neptune offer a direct challenge to the Saturn in Leo saying “What deceptions are you asking me to believe in now?” Mars, flying high in cool, fixed, airy Aquarius asks us to detach, detach, detach. Look at things below you and before you with a different, 20,000 foot vision or a magnifying glass or a shift to see the optical illusion of Saturn’s reality.

Take a perspective that lets you see the big picture rather than the local drama of what is happening before you. It isn’t about the local drama. It is about the bigger picture of what the local drama reflects in your understanding of your life. Laugh at it. Delight in it. See the drama for what it is ~ a structure or belief that is not what it seems to be or used to be. It is a structure or belief that has out lived its usefulness or function in your life. You’ve actually evolved past that belief. Or perhaps outgrew the belief. It was, perhaps, your parents’ belief or society’s belief or maybe those rules you were taught to follow when you were younger. Now you are wiser.

The other co-ruler of the Aquarius planets, Uranus, is joined to the north node in Pisces. Uranus on the node says go with the flow. No worries. No stress. Just follow the energetic stream of consciousness and joy toward what you want. Similar to how an eagle catches a rising current of air and soars higher and higher, just ride the energy of the eclipse to see what you can see, soar where you can soar and ride the river flowing in your life forward.

Pluto exactly squares Ceres in Pisces who is joined to the new Sun and Moon. Pluto’s square to mother earth and her abundant creative energy at the edge of the world axis has a profound cleansing and releasing effect. You are at a turning point. You are at the end of an era. The Pisces planets are ruled by Neptune back caught in his argument with Saturn about the nature of reality in your world.

Do you see how your reality is shifting in the last degrees of Pisces? Your new reality is not yet born but your old reality is definitely past its expiration date. Is your old reality still good? Is your old reality spoiled? Sniff your reality to see if you can still get a last meal or perhaps a bit or two out of it. Be prepared to throw your old reality away if it has spoiled. The energy of Pisces at the dregs, the cliffside, perimeter, the conclusion of the zodiac promises a new beginning. Of course, first this major cycle has to come to a conclusion and then the new cycle begins. Help the alchemical process of transformation along. Light a candle to begin the dawn of a new cycle in your life while you wait in darkness for the ebb of dawn’s light to appear.

The Sabian Image for 29 Pisces is LIGHT BREAKING INTO MANY COLORS AS IT PASSES THROUGH A PRISM and Lynda Hill’s interpretation of it illuminates the imagery of our Sun and Moon below:

Commentary: ‘Light Breaking into Many Colors as it Passes Through a Prism’ is an image of beauty and shape. A ‘Prism’ in optics is a piece of translucent glass or crystal that is used to form a spectrum of light that is separated according to colors. The light becomes separated because different wavelengths or frequencies are bent by different amounts as they enter the prism and again as they leave it. The shorter wavelengths, toward the blue or violet end of the spectrum
, are refracted by the great
est amount; the longer wavelengths, towards the red end, are refracted the least.

Oracle: You may find a need to break your situation down into its simpler components in order to see the full picture. Even though there are complex things that need to be broken down to their elemental parts, it is not as difficult as it might seem. This is vital to the success of the situation, and will lead to a greater understanding of the relationship between the many parts. Just be careful not to overanalyze, thereby losing the joy that’s inherent. This Symbol can also indicate that you are of a curious nature, or perhaps just have a natural capacity for probing into complexities and learning about the makeup of an object, situation or a person. This can, on one hand, make for a constant fascination with the connectedness and the larger questions of life. However, be aware that this emphasis on pulling things apart, and continual analysis can lead to a sense of disappointment; you may discover that the various elements are somehow less exciting than the whole. This Symbol is encouraging you to take a single vision and develop it into its many possible individual streams. Color may indeed have a part to play, as can symbols and images. Hang a crystal in the window to attract the rays of the sun. This can attract some glorious energy your way.

Keywords: Spectrum analysis. Color and crystal healing. Rainbows. Light refraction. Side effects. Considering many facets of a situation. Endless opportunities. Optics. Sight. Seeing. Copying and sharing ideas or things. Disseminating information. Auras and aura photography. Triangles. Polarization of light. Reflection. Laboratory tests. Diffracted personality.

The Caution: Locked in to a set of parameters. Over analyzing things. Being blinded by ambition. Daunted by the task ahead. Mirages. Microscopes and binoculars but not seeing things as they really are.

So think about how white light breaks into all its parts to form a moveable, magical rainbow of color on your wall and in your soul. Do you see how EACH of the prism’s colors is part and parcel, layer by layer, of the clear sunshine coming in your window? All of our individual lives are composed of many facets and elements~ good and bad ~ that contribute to our path. Gather up your light and get ready to shine in your life in a new way.
