October 18 /19: The Lunar Eclipse happens in parallel to galaxy M60, confronting us with the use and abuse of personal or collective power and also emphasizing a thorough work on our material prosperity, balancing our finances and spending habits .
Sometimes lunar eclipses seem to leave us a difficult task to perform during the period of its validity , which is approximately six months. While astrological conditions associated with an eclipse only exist as such at the time of the phenomenon, they are an excellent indicator of the general trends in the months that follow. Hence the importance of knowing their nature, especially if the lesson to assimilate implies a great effort, as in the lunar eclipse of October 18, 2013. But before analyzing its meaning, we must remember that a lunar eclipse symbolizes a lesson to assimilate. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking momentarily on the lunar surface the bombardment of particles from the Sun. Through this kind of " hole" in the solar wind curtain, we can read an astrological indicator in the background of stars, galaxies, nebulae and star clusters, which suggests items to work collectively during the next semester... Each person, however, will manage this trend in his/her own way, both because of the special and unique settings of each personal astral chart and the individual way of reacting to situations.
Contact with personal power
The Lunar Eclipse of October 18, 2013, happens in parallel to a stunning galaxy: M60 . This means that at the time of the eclipse, the Moon is within half a degree of the exact declination of this galaxy. M60 is a giant galaxy, located in the famous cluster of galaxies in the constellation Virgo. In its interior, lies one of the largest supermassive black holes known: estimates suggest it may have the equivalent of 4 billion solar masses. This indicates an enormous magnetic power, which in astrological terms results in dominant attitudes, but in itself does not tell us whether the use of this power is good or bad . That depends on the context and the individual. But it is clear that with this Lunar Eclipse we will work the core issue of power in our lives, either prompting us to develop it or to moderate it, to refocus or to revitalize, especially when the eclipse falls in the energetic zodiacal sign of Aries.
Those with a strong character can be more aware of the effect they have on others, and those who are more timid or insecure may use this energy to assert themselves. Many people will feel intuitively that it is a good time to give more power to the projects that are worthwhile, while some people will do a strong psychological work to overcome their tendency to manipulate, or perhaps getting over the traumas caused by being the victim of abuse. Ideally, in most cases we will certainly be able to redirect personal power towards worthwhile goals, correcting different areas that have excesses. M60 is a galaxy that tends to exaggeration, both because of its size and the monstrous black hole that lies at its center.
Working on Prosperity: to produce enough, to avoid the superfluous
To make matters more dramatic, M60 has a large globular cluster system, which reaches a whopping 5,000 members. While this is an excess, it definitely represents abundance, wealth. Hence the work under this lunar eclipse is about personal power oriented to generate, preserve and distribute wealth . The generation of prosperity involves an effort, but when you have the momentum of a galaxy like M60, there is enough energy for great achievements. Not all people will manifest the eclipse´s trend through their finances, but generally things will tend to go to extremes in terms of money.
There may be costs too absorbent that need to be cut or better managed, or possibly the tendency to increase production will dominate. Everything is possible with M60, except moderation. So, directly or indirectly, this semester represents an opportunity to generate wealth, as well as the danger of expenses and debts devouring us if out of control. Be very careful when contracting debts or making financial commitments during this semester ! Good management can, however, pay off debt and significantly improve your economy.
Excess consumption to consider
Being a giant galaxy, M60 reflects in part the appetites of our consumer society and the tendency to be swayed by the demands of power and status . Therefore, we have to consider in this lunar eclipse our purchasing power and the reality of our needs. It's not about having lots of money, food or anything but if you really need them. The excesses will tend to cause financial problems, body overweight, a waste of space and time. It is an ideal time to stop bad habits and unnecessary expenses. Likewise, dieting, reorganizing our administration, structuring production plans, changing consumption and eating habits can be beneficial . We must confront honestly and check if we are being drawn into a wave of consumption or if we rather use this power to regenerate our daily habits, both in money management and in our nutrition.
Because of all this, around the day of the eclipse it is good to make an assessment of our finances, whether it is public, personal, business or an institution´s. This analysis will let any excesses to be seen as well as areas that need significant energy injection. Don't hurry much, though, as the eclipse's influence will last a semester: we have six months to stabilize our economy, or let it go adrift. Internationally , it wouldn't be surprising if there was another setback in a long list of spasms caused in international finance bythe effects of capitalism. M60 represents those companies that devour their competitors or those governments that control their citizens manipulating and crushing them. Financial excesses and the concentration of power may cause imbalances that will definitely shake the world a bit. No doubt there will be issues of power at an international level but this trend may become conscious and better dealt with at an individual level . Therefore we must seek to use our own individual power constructively. If we have a great capacity for something ( "power") we must help those in need, or work on areas of our lives that need organization, vitality and energy.
An appropriate use of power
Through this act of conscious will, we will make the best out of the Lunar Eclipse of October 2013 . Once assumed and acknowledged objectively, personal power can be channeled appropriately towards worthwhile goals. Domineering and manipulative attitudes can backfire and generate strong imbalances. To be dominated by someone else can be equally harmful. Exposure to abuse is to be avoided above all. Wouldn´t it be good if we use the power of M60 to stop the deterioration of the planet and society? In this way, we would reverse the potentially negative trend of this eclipse, writing our present for ourselves. And, although the Lunar Eclipse clearly reflects the trends in human society, it is us individuals who ultimately decide how it will be expressed in our lives.
What decisions are you taking to cope with the Lunar Eclipse in parallel to M60? For now, I hope you will use of your personal power wisely in the months to come... And let your prosperity improve!
