The Dark Side of the Moon

Go read Astrobarry about tonight’s/tomorrow’s eclipse:
Eclipse times are here again… which means a month or so of concentrated climactic development in the stories of our lives.
But before you get all uppity on me, muttering in disbelief, ‘Haven’t we already been going through some shit?’, let’s be clear on the distinction between different types of said astro-shit.
In recent weeks, we’ve been neck-deep in this Venus retrograde, which is all tied up with Saturn’s passage out of Leo (and away from the opposition with Neptune)… and that whole shebang, as I’ve described already, is more about revisiting unfinished business. The Venus retrograde is helping us gain perspective on that which we value most (especially in relationships and finances), often by exposing us to glimpses from the past. All the while, Venus is also acting as a farewell ambassador to a phase of time, bidding adieu to the disenchanting Saturn-Neptune opposition that has dampened our moods over the past year. All of this really qualifies as a sort of wrap-up of already-in-process circumstances… a reorientation of priorities in advance of the next turn of events.
Then comes a pair of eclipses—a lunar eclipse next Tuesday (Aug 28), followed by a solar eclipse on Sep 11—to hasten that very turn, and give us something sensationally new to chew on.
“Rather, it requires regular and continual effort on a day-to-day basis, in order to build a new facet into the fabric of one’s life… while, at the same time, being diligent about removing the ingrained obstacles to these improvements, which may be deeply patterned into how we do what we do”
Can you say, keep studying for those effing LSATs, MB?
and give us something sensationally new to chew on.
Dang if that doesn’t sound ominous.
One would be led to the notion that we’re heading into a period where he can laugh a bit… I think tho, that those laughs will be more like ironic chuckles.
Solar eclipse on 9/11. Sweet. Just what we need.
Well… I’m buckled in, nothing left but the ride.

“a reorientation of priorities in advance of the next turn of events.”
This is the sentence that scares me. What “turn of events?”
But this made me laugh;
” a cloudily undifferentiated blob of emotion at our doorsteps…”
I read it this morning (thanks, Susie, for turning me on to Astrobarry!).
Another astrology book I have suggested that today’s eclipse was going to give me insight to my whole next phase of life, and I could really use some inspiration about now.
I’m waiting…haven’t had any epiphanies just yet, but the day is young.
