Solar and lunar eclipses in 2014 and 2015

It’s eclipse month once again and according to the sidereal calendar which I follow, the Rahu and Ketu or the North and South nodes of the Moon are now in the sign of Virgo. The sign of health and disease, nutrition, detail, perfectionism and imbalances, petty arguments, serving others, medicine, herbs and agriculture, the workplace and co-workers, criticism and complaints. With Rahu now in this sign, you may often hear people say they are overworked and underpaid!

2014 and 2015, there are six eclipses happening, the first is the lunar eclipse on 8th October, the next is the solar eclipse on 23rd October. Eclipses have the potential to create powerful events in our lives and what will be triggered around the time of the eclipse often emerges up to three months prior to the eclipse. Lunar eclipses are always more personal and affect our emotional lives more than the solar eclipses. The Moon is at its highest point of visibility exposing all the information, the whole situation leaving little room for secrets. Astrologers sometimes love telling stories of thieves being caught more easily during a full Moon. 

In any case, the opposition of the Moon and Sun make this such a crucial time for relationships. It’s the yin and yang polarity that shines the spotlight on any loose ends which means that loose connections may find it natural end. On the other hand, lunar eclipses can invite the parties involved to just have a god old chat that helps to discard outworn relationship behaviour and patterns. So for example, if the lunar eclipse happens in the 7th house (for Pisces Ascendants in April 2015 and for Virgo Ascendants in September 2015), then you may find yourself in a situation where you are faced with relationship issues of the commitment vs. freedom type. We are more aware of what is lacking in the relationship and what our own needs are. It’s an emotionally charged and dramatic time, often accompanied by partnership make-up or break-ups. With Uranus being a constant companion of this particular eclipse cycle, things could develop very suddenly.

The solar eclipses across the Pisces / Virgo axis take place 23rd October 2014, 20 March 2015 and 13th September 2015.

The lunar eclipses take place on 8th October 2014, 4th April 2015 and 28th September 2015. 

For Aries and Aries rising as well as its polar opposite Libra and Libra rising, the lunar eclipses in October 2014 and April and September 2015 fall across the 12th and 6th house axis of intuition and hidden talents and daily routine and health and work habits. 

For Taurus and Taurus rising as well as for Scorpio and Scorpio rising, the lunar eclipses in October 2014 and April and September 2015 fall across the 11th and 5th house axis of hopes, wishes and dreams, community and the global marketplace and individual performance, children, fun and creativity.
 
For Gemini and Gemini rising as well as for Sagittarius and Sagittarius rising, the lunar eclipses in October 2014 and April and September 2015 fall across the 10th and 4th house of career, profession, vocation, reputation and life direction and your home, where you feel at home, your house, your past, inner emotions and your mother. 

For Cancer and Cancer rising as well as for Capricorn and Capricorn rising, the lunar eclipses in October 2014 and April and September 2015 fall across the 9th and 3rd house axis of higher versus basic learning and education, the higher versus the lower mind, long-distance versus short-distance travel, the bigger picture versus detailed communication, religion and spirituality versus very-day thoughts occupied with habits and routines. 

For Leo and Leo rising as well as for Aquarius and Aquarius rising, the lunar eclipses in October 2014 and April and September 2015 fall across your 8th and 2nd house axis of your own income, values, sense of security, what you eat and in Indian astrology also how you express yourself (you speech) as well as other people’s money, joint resources, tax, insurance, inheritance and bank loans. 

For Virgo and Virgo rising as well as Pisces and Pisces rising, the lunar eclipses in October 2014 and April and September 2015 fall across the 1st and 7th house axis of the self and close relationships. A crucial time for self-development for all Virgos and Virgo Ascendants whereas Pisceans want the perfect relationship but one that allows them to do what they want, when they want.
