SOLAR ECLIPSE - FEBRUARY 15, 2018

This month's new moon is a Partial Solar Eclipse that takes place on February 15, 2018, 3:05 p.m. CST in 27° Aquarius.  Aquarius symbolizes the feeling of fellowship and brotherhood.  It reminds me of the Sanskrit (and Pali) word "Sangha."  Sangha means community of like-minded souls.  It can benefit you at the time of the eclipse (and several days on either side) to hang out with people who support your values, especially your spiritual values.  Being with brothers and sisters in spirit is a type of nourishment for the soul.

Or simply think of this as a time to connect with friends whether in person or electronically.  Uranus in the sextile position to the Sun and Moon in the eclipse chart indicates benefits from technology.

On the other hand, the eclipse chart has Mars at 12° Sagittarius squaring Neptune in 13° Pisces. Not good energy for starting new projects especially those that involve water (plumbing projects, for example) or paint.  Neptune in this position can both dilute energy (you start but don't finish) and also delude you (make you certain you have the skills and tools to complete a complicated DIY project).  If you find yourself inspired at the eclipse, take time to analyze and plan first.
