Hi Toni,  

Well, tonight is the lunar eclipse in Pisces that begins at 8:41 PM EDT and culminates at 11:15 PM EDT. Half of the world, the northern hemisphere will be able to view it. Although it is awesome to see one, the effects of eclipses (which I have written about extensively) are longer lasting than a single evening. The lunar eclipse in Pisces creates effects especially to those with planets in the mutable signs of Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius and Gemini for 6 weeks in total.

An interesting side note for the candidates vying for President of the United States is that both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have Gemini sun and Gemini rising successively. It doesn't surprise me that one of them had their life threatened by a would be assassin. I'm sure Kamala is feeling the taxing grind of campaigning too this week. They both deserve our prayers. This eclipse rules the health houses through Pisces and Virgo. Virgo asks of us to become more mindful of our health habits as we head into a change of seasons and the last quarter of the year. Pisces calls upon us to spend time in meditation, slow mo yoga like yoga nidra or Chi Gong, and/or daily naps.

Has your energy been at low ebb lately? Are you getting enough sleep? How about the people you hang out with? One of my clients was complaining about a particular friend she found draining and realized she needed to cut back on her conversations with her. Evaluating our health habits also extends to people. As we build toward the new moon solar eclipse in two weeks, this is a great time to release and shed whatever is impeding the best of you to emerge. I will share more about the solar eclipse in two weeks but for now, it is about completing. We have 4 planets in retrograde and the last major player to flip will be Jupiter on October 9th. Jupiter has actually been protecting both Kamala and Donald as "he" inches closer to Donald's sun and her ascendant but that will change with this retro. Neither will any longer have his protection again until March. It is my hope that we all can stay kind with one another, regardless of our choices politically in the next month.

Hating or judging people's choices taxes the immune system. Virgo rules the critic and the longest nerve in the body and Pisces rules compassion and in medical astrology, the immune system. As we enter the next two weeks, I invite us all to stay compassionate and use the dream time and the subconscious realm that Pisces rules to do inner work right now. All these planets in retrograde wants us to engage more inner work on our shadow. Whatever public figure or anyone in your life that gets you all fired up may be a disowned part of yourself they reflect and/or person from your life you have unfinished business with. Political figures can trigger our wounding from our parents. From a psycho-therapeutic point of view, having both a male and female candidate running for the highest offices can certainly bring this family stuff up. Do you have the courage to examine that emotion that is getting stirred and find where you are feeling it in your body? When was the first time you ever felt this and with whom?

Now, bring in the radiant light right into the feeling and sit with it putting your hands there. Breathe deeply into the feeling and allow the higher frequency of the light to shift the triggered feeling. Now, what are you feeling? What does this feeling want you to know and possibly do? One of my clients who hates a particular political figure is working on the abandonment she experienced in childhood with her father.

This is how we move from the archetypal critic of Virgo as a humanity to the healing compassion of Pisces as a global family.

If we do our own inner work, the whole world can transform.

Sending so much love to you from my heart to yours,

Dr Toni
