Appulse Lunar Eclipse (FM) 2016-03-23 (Hard Rectangle)

Appulse Lunar Eclipse (FM) 2016-03-23 (Hard Rectangle)

Let us face it, the big thing about this “full moon” is that it is an eclipse.  Following immediately on the heels of that fact, in importance, is the presence of a “Hard Rectangle.”  Hard Rectangles are a newer pattern and tricky to interpret.  They also tend to be rare, and that adds to the difficulty of categorizing them.  Energetically, they resemble a Thor’s Hammer (aka God’s Fist), but they are not necessarily violent (but could be).

The attack in Brussels, less than 24 hours prior to the perfection of the eclipse (and Hard Rectangle) lends credence to the idea that they may be associated with violence.  But the energy associated with them likely CAN be channeled into more constructive endeavors.

In any case, here is the chart, filtered for the HR, and in basic form:

For those new to astrology, and trying to learn the basics, we present the same chart in “Beginners” format:

Since we consider this to be a particularly important chart, we will also present it AGAIN in “Horary format” to present certain data useful to people who need that information.  (i.e. “traditionalists”):

Since the discussion of the events in Brussels will likely be covered in depth elsewhere, we will avoid in-depth analysis at this time (reserving the right for later) and only note that (1) similar to 9/11, these occurred in a void, and (2) these occurred less than 24 hours prior to the eclipse / hard rectangle.

A Square Key and Hele are also present, both long term and both discussed elsewhere recently on this blog.  In summary, (1) important alliances will be formed during this window of time and (2) important lessons will be learned.

That said, what else can we say about this particular eclipse?  Well, a critical generational group will be profoundly affected by this eclipse because the transiting Sun/Moon will form the Apex of a yod involving natal Neptune (Scorpio) and natal Pluto (Virgo) for this group:

If you or someone you know / love is in this group, they will face at this time (possibly today but certainly this year) the MOST IMPORTANT DECISION or decisions that they likely will ever face in their life.

Many decisions are important, but this one unquestionably is of paramount importance.  I would go so far as to ignore the nuances and just say “the period from 1956 to 1960, inclusive.”  And an argument could easily be made for widening the window to a few years earlier and a few years later.

If you know of anyone in this age group, pass on the news.  It might make an important difference.

So, what are the choices?  (1) the Eclipse at 3 Aries tells us that we MUST take action.  (2) the Neptune leg is passive and just letting things be, but it is in Scorpio, and we will feel changes and “transformation” (possibly losses) if we follow this route.  (3) the Pluto leg is in Virgo (and therefore requires work) and focuses on health and healthcare as well as accounting and bookkeeping.  In the end, no matter which leg we pick, if we are alive in a few years (as this group moves through its second Saturn return), we may not resemble our former selves.  A radical transformation will happen.  That is a certainty.

All we have said about the Hard Rectangle (energy, possibly violence), Hele (alliances), and Square Key (lessons) will especially apply here and likely over the next year (or longer).  The long window of repeating Jupiter Square Saturn aspects, including todays perfection, confirms the longer term quality of this eclipse / hard rectangle.

If you are not in this age group, do not think you are immune.  Chances are good you are connected to someone in this group in an important way, and their chances will have an impact on you as well.

Our final note is this: based on both the Hard Rectangle AND what happened in Brussels yesterday, we are living in dangerous times.  Be careful.
