Solar Eclipse in Scorpio: Our Lives Will Never Be the Same Again!

On November 13^th 2012 at 22:12, GMT, there is a total solar eclipse on the 21^st degree of Scorpio. Eclipses have always been regarded as bad omens because of their association with disasters and other catastrophic events, but what really happens at the time of an eclipse is the culmination of events and emotions. More specifically, a solar eclipse is practically a New Moon where the Moon is located in such a position that it blocks the sunlight, which then magnifies the meaning of such a New Moon; hence the association of solar eclipses with important endings and equally important beginnings. Although there is no general consensus regarding the duration of the effects of the eclipses, the peak of their influence is usually felt within a month before and after the actual date of the eclipse.

The current eclipse is extremely important because it takes place in the sign of Scorpio, which is the ultimate sign of changes and transformations. Actually, given that Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, is in square aspect to Uranus, the changes and transformations that this eclipse will bring are bound to be sudden, radical and revolutionary. Although the changes will not be complete until after mid-December at which time both Mercury and Uranus will have turned back into direct motion, you can safely expect that the area of life affected by the eclipse in your personal astrological chart will never be the same again (at the end of the article you have a more detailed explanation as to how each sign will be affected). So, the best thing you can do is to be open to any changes that may be coming your way; actually, some of these changes may be very positive, especially for those who were born or have planets/ascendant/midheaven towards the end of the water signs (Cancer, Scoprio, Pisces).

Furthermore, given that the three trines between Saturn and Neptune; Venus and Jupiter; Mercury and Uranus, take place respectively in water signs, air signs and fire signs, we may assume that the eclipse will offer a nice gift to most of us. The first trine favours the materialization of our wildest dreams, especially for those who were born or have planets/ascendant/midheaven in the beginning of the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). The second trine favours the development of love relationships, in particular for those who were born or have planets/ascendant/midheaven in the middle of the air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius). The third trine favours enthusiastic communications, as well as the production of original and unconventional ideas, and is particularly relevant to those who were born or have planets/ascendant/midheaven in the beginning of the fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). 

In a nutshell, if during this eclipse you visualize a brand new reality by thinking out of the box and by being generous towards the people and the things you love, then rest assured that you’ll be among those who will benefit the most from this eclipse. 

Here are some ideas as to which areas of life of each sign will be affected by this eclipse. It is always useful to also read the text that corresponds to your ascendant sign. And, as always, we begin with the last sign in line with the tradition of my blog!
