Blood moon eclipse AND MERCURIAL MOMENTS...

On October 8th A Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse was seen in the sky in the evening right across the Australian Eastern Sea Board as well as other places across the world. See NASA website here. 

The Full Lunar Eclipse in Aries, and the combined energies of Mercury Retrograde, and a grand trine in fire, makes for a time to take your time and avoid rushing into or out of anything, yet taking the time to observe more clearly what does need to begin or end.

During the blood moon, full moon lunar eclipse, and in the two week period after it, be responsive and proactive, but not reactive. Take time to ground yourself and listen to your inner wisdom, not take rash and sudden changes without prior considered thought. Avoid having to win arguments, or its extreme opposite of compromising to the point of being oppressed. 

Take time for you, if it's a good decision today, it will still be a good decision tomorrow, the next day and next week.

Mercury, which rules travel, business, new contracts, and communications is also retrograde October 5th until October 26th, so, if you must send letters, emails, texts, or sign contracts, travel, or do business, check the message you are receiving and sending, and triple check what you are signing. Allow for sudden, unexpected changes to plans, and be flexible with that.

Allow extra time to travel anywhere, and extra time to park your car, or for public transport. If traveling, ensure you have good travel insurance, and take your time, you will arrive in better shape and less stressed. 

This time brings up the question of what is tolerable, and what needs change. What needs you to be fully present and grounded, and what you need to walk away from.

Avoid allowing fiery emotions to control you. Some will be standing up to various forms of bullying and no longer sweeping it under the happy, hippy carpet, and instead standing in their power, instead of allowing others to overpower them. Others will need to find compromise.

This Eclipse is the second in a tetrad of eclipses that will see major transformational energies at work.

"By practising our skills, doing things that need to be done regardless of whether we enjoy them, there can be a celebration and rememberance of the experiences that led you to this moment."

Send healing and love to war torn places on the planet where these very issues are at fever pitch right now, and are an amplified demonstration to the world of this very point. 

Be genuine and observant to the world around you, and do what is nurturing to your spirit, whether that is looking at personal responsibility or whether it is going within for calm and peace. 

If your fears are reaching new levels of anxiety, withdraw from activities or thinking that is likely to make this worse at this time. 

Take time to reflect, rather than project onto others.
