I hate being 39, not because I’m old but because I feel like I’m so far behind where I expected to be.

Expectations for ourselves can be such a trap and often difficult to get a handle on. Please believe me when I say I believe you have plenty of time yet. Do give yourself credit for what you have accomplished too.

Wow. Today is my 39th birthday and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I woke up sobbing and I couldn’t stop crying all day. This has never happened to me on a birthday! I hate being 39, not because I’m old but because I feel like I’m so far behind where I expected to be. I just remember starting the decade and being so hopeful… for what?

Thanks Pat. Your good wishes are much appreciated. Well, the upheavals came exactly on schedule. The Director of the small organisation I work for resigned unexpectedly today within an hour of the eclipse. A lovely man (a Sun Libra), who will be much missed. He recruited me as a temp and after I left phoned me again in February (around the time of the last eclipse) to offer me a semi-permanent position.

Whether I stay or go (and I’ve a feeling I’ll be moving on in the next few months in part because of the things I alluded to in the previous post) work definitely won’t be the same after today ….

Ha! with my Uranus at 6 Leo opposite my moon (5 Aquarius) and Chiron (8 Aquarius) something is bound to happen with this eclipse tomorrow morning. And it may have already started – even in February as noted by Pat. I have been “chasing” a client for a specific type of work for 2 years – and today I met with them with anticipated results of some regular and significant work from this front. It just snuck up on me quietly.

And, referring to Neith’s comment about Venus in Leo trining Pluto in Saggitarius (my sun sign) – well Pluto is in my 7th house – ever hoping for some movement in my love life. Could this be an appropriate interpretation with Venus in my 4th house?

Regarding change, I have given up attaching to any results. My life has not been what I thought it would be for so many years – and it is what I need in a way I could not have anticipated. So, come on change! I look forward to the practice of riding it out.

Sorry for my incomplete response of a few days ago. Just I feel that this year has been one of walking through a deep, and at times, dark tunnel of change. So a theme of change is nothing new and unexpected for me. What I would like to see is that Change lead somewhere for once – I just feel as if I’m oscillating backwards and forwards over a pivot point that is moved around by something out of my control (which of course it is.). Change but no progress (or at least not for me and / or not that I can visualize in a contextual way in the way I lead my daily life.)
Eclipses taking place along the 11th / 5th axises (moon just hanging around at the end of my 10th..) The Nep/NN/ Chiron conj smack bang in my 5th.
Just want something to go forward right now.

Thanks for explaining the Eclipse Pat. This week’s been really tense and confusing and I have no idea of what to expect tomorrow. The New Moon will square my Venus, as I was saying on Neith’s post and I also have my MC/IC axis on the degree 9, even though it’s Capricorn/Cancer.
I’m really ambivalent about ‘Change’ but with Uranus squaring my Sun this year, I really have no option but to embrace it.

Hi Pat,

I am so curious as to the energies for this one.
I have scorpio 9 degrees on the Midheaven and taurus 9 degrees on the 4th house with an 11 degree moon in the 4th. That 9 degree Leo is going to… who knows?

Joe, I know some well-respected astrologers who don’t think that eclipses affect you if they aren’t visible in your location, but I can say emphatically from firsthand experience that that isn’t true. Where they fall in your natal chart is key.

MM, there is no doubt that these eclipses will create wholesale shifts. Hang in there, and keep us posted, OK?

Thanks for this, Pat.

Pre-eclipse, very difficult. Tense and nervous.

Solar eclipse will fall in my 11th, lunar in 5th. With Venus currently and Mercury shortly crossing the South Node and opposing Neptune and Chiron and sq my natal Mars I am in a difficult, unclear situation at work. Something big has to give, I feel sure during the coming lunation, and it may be connected with a female colleague who has Aquarius rising and Moon in Scorpio ….

I’m trying to keep physically active, which seems to help, and above all to remember to breathe!
