The Rape of Persephone, Sebastiano Galeotti
Solar Eclipses are always a time of change. Think of them
like a powerful New Moon that can bring fresh opportunities and wake up areas
of your life that have felt stagnant or old. The solar eclipse of July 13 is opposite Pluto
and semi-square Venus.
Pluto rules upheaval, breakdown and decay, but also
regeneration and the purifying fire of catharsis. It reflects the archetypal
Underworld--the dark, mysterious, and often terrifying reality which lurks
beneath the surface of things, beneath our ego and societal conventions and the
veneer of civilization, and which is periodically unleashed with great
destructive and transformative force. Pent-up energies erupt like a volcano
from the depths of our soul. . In aspect
to Venus it brings changes in
relationships that we are forced to accommodate. Power struggles in one's personal
life can lead to a breakdown of
relationship or a profound transformation.
Martha Wescott [1] describes the energy of the eclipse using
the following mid-points which essentially echo what we have said above:
20 Li 19: Node/Saturn:
There can be difficulties or separations in relationship; how relationships are
related to ambitions can be shown.
21 Cp 10:
Mars/Saturn: Arguments can lead to alienation or separation; use caution in the
presence of anger; be mindful of your use of time and energy; note that there
are consequences for and judgments of anger or self-serving behaviors.
21 Ca 43:
Node/Hades: To hear of vulgar connections; to realize that what were close
connections have deteriorated; to discover secrets about people you thought you
knew well. There may be some getting together with someone from your past.
