The August 16 Eclipse & Aquarius'

We are having a major astronomical event on August 16 - a lunar eclipse at 24? Aquarius 21'

How are those of you with Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Descendant in Aquarius feeling?

Are you having relationship or other issues even now? This thing will be powerful and is already in effect. It will be most strong three days before and three days after.

If you want to try to be conscious of what the eclipse means for you, you will know it clearly a month later (September 16) then again at the 3 month (November 16) and 6 month (February 16) points.

Maybe we can share stories.

I should add that those with a Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Descendant in Leo will also be strongly impacted. THose square to the eclipse - Taurus and Scorpio folks, will also feel it.

The last time we had this series of Leo/Aquarius eclipses was 1998-2000. Whatever occurs for you will have some link back to that time/being the same general area of life.

Hey Bijou!

Check the Leo thread! The August 1 eclipse affects Leo placements primarily and Aquarius secondarily. The energy will be leonine, so I stuck the topic there.....

Chalk it up to Virgo organization, LOL

I don't know if it has anything to do with any eclipse.... but since may I find myself doing a lot of healing and bringing clarity to my friends with relationship issues. Either I'm givin advice, or I'm just simply being an open ear.

My mid-heaven is Aquarius and so is the 11th house, Mercury and Sun.

Ok so now you guys are scaring me!! I'm a Leo Sun, Leo Moon with Aqua Rising. I can't go through much more than I just have...
I had to make a decision on Monday to let my 13 year companion (my baby and best friend) go after suffering with congestive heart failure and other old age canine problems. Hardest thing I've ever had to do, love him more than anyone.
My finances have gone for a great big ball of shit, my best girl friend got a hair up her arse and is ignoring me.....
So what more can I expect with this eclipse—??
My boyfriend is Aqua Sun with Leo Moon - this would obviously affect him too—

Thanks Bijou, people think you're touched mourning over an animal - you actually get a bit of a complex about it. Good to know there are people out there who understand.
I'll go check the post....I'm scared }}}}} ha ha

get ready folks just a few days away!

For crying-out-sideways airbender, you sure are cute ;D I saw your other pic, I must say you are handsome 🙂 🙂

I wonder what kind of affect this will have on cappies on the Saggie cusp 😛

Well, this is strange, I just lost my job today. It was a temporary job but I wasn't planning on leaving until next year. My sun sign is in Taurus...wow

WHAT!!! I'm sorrty BrownEyedTaurus 😢 😢 😢 What happened —? If you don't mind telling what happened that is 🙂


Today was suppose to be the day I lost my job, but I just found out otherwise. I may still be on the edge of things but at least I have alittle more time to find something more stable.

Same with me, the plan was to leave next year but this lady wanted to bump me out! Once she saw what the job really consist of, she didn't want it.

Whoah how freaky is that! Well they said I was really lovely but that it came down to organisation and speed combined in a very fast paced environment! I need to get right back onto looking for something new but this job wasn't anything special to me so actually ok, although it's horrible being fired isn't it...

You and I had almost the same situation! However, right now I can't see any benefits to this, unless it means to find a job that develops more of who I am. I did feel like a battery hen, prefer dealing with people in a direct way so perhaps that was why it happened.

If the jig saw piece of illumination falls int my lap in 3-4 weeks time will let you know!

I think that could well be it though, my job didn't use any of me and that's what I like from my work environment, to communicate and help others directly....

Thanks for the sympathy though : ) p.s how do you do your smiley faces like that? I keep having to do it old skool sms style !

well, my bf is an aqua and i have my moon in leo, so that would prob. explain why we have been having some relationship issues lately...interesting

..moon in aquarius, actually with my aqua stellium, sounds like this lunar eclipse will be opposing the solar one in my chart, as i also have personal planet Mars in Leo, directly across ..okay, so far so good, but will stay calm cool & collected, azz always..LOL

hey, good to know ..thx!

Hugs to bijou2u!!

Relax everyone..eclipses affect us in the best of ways..we just don't see it until afterwards!

"Relax everyone..eclipses affect us in the best of ways..we just don't see it until afterwards"

-OH!!! i hope you are right!!!

yeah this lunar eclipse is near my moon (Aqua) and opposed my north node (Leo).........so i'm interested to see how this will turn out.........hmmm

****crosses fingers and hope for the best****

Concerning relationships, I feel it.

And to add, everything came full force on friday, concerning school and relationships but my college class is definitely kicking my ass. Everything was at a slow pace up until friday.

And what's strange is that it all involved things I've been neglecting/ignoring/wanting to get rid of. I wouldn't say they're negative but it's all coming back around to me.

""starfish: I am so tired of these damn eclipses, they are either in Pisces or Virgo which effects me bc I am Pisces or they are in Leo or Aqua which I am affected there too bc my rising and moon is in Aqua and my Desc is in Leo..Damn when will they go over to fire sign or something..""

hahhaha I hear ya!....Virgo Sun with Aqua Moon ....I think the next set after this is cancer/capricorn........but guess what I have Venus in Cancer and I checked one of those eclipses in 2009 is aiming right for my venus......so my dear that is no end!! lol sigh

""Aqua Sun: Concerning relationships, I feel it.""

yeah like what in a good way or bad way?

I'm Leo Sun, Moon with Aqua Rising, my boyfriend is Aqua Sun with Leo Moon and I definately feel a shift in our relationship. It a beautiful way.
It's almost like some walls are coming down—??
Barriers are being broken?? We're really letting each other in?

Okay, on August 16, the night of the lunar eclipse in Aquarius, which occured conjunct Neptune (drugs, alcohol, delusions, lying, spirituality, dreams, transcendence) Mr. Aquarius went out an partied and came home about 5am very very drunk. The eclipse occured less than a degree from his Sun.

On August 17 he hsad something shocking to me which caused such a shock that my repsonse cause him to RUN across the room to start hugging and holding me like never before. All week long we have been more affectionate towards each other than ever before. I think it is both new, uncomfortable and powerful for Mr. Aquarius...but he is the one initiating it 99% of the time.

The week after that was challenging almost daily, trying to work through things, which include a very stubborn Leo woman causing a problem.

And today, we are seeming to come down a bit emotionally from the roughness. And last night he shocked me by starting to get chooked up while wetried to talk things through...and then today he actually began crying, really crying.

One key with eclipses is never to INITIATE something (which was what he tried) but rather to RESPOND but not harshly/suddenly, extremely etc. I have never seen him so in touch with his emotions or my emotions.

This Leo woman is the source of all the problem. I am waiting to see what September 1st brings as it will make 1 month since the August 1st solar eclipse in Leo when Mr. Aquarius gave me the key to his place and we began living together (which the Leo woman is upset about as she was then effectively eclipsed ).

This is soo spooky - I have received horrible news from my libra guy this week concerning our relationship! I'm in the worst place i have been in years....

Sorry to hear this aqua-baby!

Just please be kind to yourself and really try to think things through before responding.

I would cut my leg out of the bear trap, gnaw my right hand off, and then use the leg to club whoever was holding them hostage, yeah the hand might have been only for dramatic effect.

Well bijou.....

Mr. Aquarius is calmer although still very much in touch with his emotions. I would not mind him staying this way in peroetuity. We are doing fine.

The dramatic Leo woman (who has a Virgo Asc) is simply a dramatic, whining, nagging sop. She wants so much from him and she is bent on complaining because she is not getting it. I have not seen such behavior in someone up close. She apparently, we have learned by comparing notes, thinks that Mr. Aquarius is meant to be and WILL be her husband. She is very upset that he would accompany her to hre younger brother's wedding this month. She had planned to make everyone think she and Mr. Aquarius were basically next in line to get married. She has been writing nasty things to and about women she perceives as getting in the way of her obsessive dreams. He is trying to be nice to her but he finally admitted he is about to tell her to get lost and stay lost. She does not realize she is about to lose him as a friend forever, because once he says goodbye, that will be it. He will not give her the time of day. But her ego is so wrapped up in this.

I have spent alot of time w/a female who is also a Leo b-day the 21, she is like this woman you describe. Man, cant speak of the times in the past two-three years she has been way out of line and just plain needy! Demanding needy to boot! when it comes to her relationships, man o man! So many cant handle her. I feel for ya VB if she is like the one i know, good luck w/crazy Leo woman, dirty dirty!

What a thing to deal w/at your time of joy.....sorry for ya! You had to know some hater was coming out from somewhere soon, others cant stand to see happiness bloom!

"She is very upset that he would accompany her to hre younger brother's wedding this month."

I should edit that to she is very upset that he would NOT accompany her to her younger brother's wedding this month.

Yeah..."demanding needy" is an accurate description..a weird combination of arrogant prideful whining and martyr-like behavior.

Well, it all has to end sometime.
