The Moon
or crucial moments in our lifetimes—at times when we
are particularly aware.
The message or vision of any given eclipse will tend to
dominate our deeper or subconscious minds for months
surrounding that eclipse. It is a peculiarity of these
eclipse moments that they can happen days or even
weeks before or after the actual moment of an eclipse.
That is: the eclipse theme pervades the time prior to and
after the actual physical event. Sometimes eclipses
happen in pairs, two weeks apart. These are particularly
powerful, and the whole time between these events can
be a kind of waking dream—a vision.
Learn to recognize a moment of vision, for taking
advantage of these enhanced moments of vision
surrounding an eclipse can be important. If the point in
the zodiac where an eclipse occurs is in high focus in
your natal chart, then that particular eclipse may have
special importance for you.
In general, eclipses of the Sun (New Moons) represent
vision into the nature of our lives (ideas about life), while
eclipses of the Moon (Full Moons) represent a waking
experience or sensational event—a living in our own
dream.
