On 4 June 2012, there will be a partial lunar eclipse. The eclipsed Moon will be at 14 degrees Sagittarius, opposing the Sun/Venus conjunction at 14 degrees Gemini. The eclipsed Moon and the Sun will be forming a T-square to Mars in Virgo.
This eclipse will mainly affect those with planets or angles (ascendant, descendant, IC and midheaven) between 9 and 19 degrees in the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces).
You may also be affected if you have planets at 30 degrees (semi-sextile), 45 degrees (semi-square), 60 degrees (sextile), 120 degrees (trine), or 150 degrees (inconjunct) from 14 degrees Sagittarius or Gemini. However, the effect will most likely not be as dramatic with these aspects.
Moon Opposing the Sun/Venus Conjunction
There is an inherent tug of war in all oppositions. A lunar eclipse will always point out conflicts between the head and the heart. Here, with the Moon in Sagittarius, there is a need for deep reflection and understanding, perhaps on a spiritual level. The Sun in Gemini wants more facts, more information, more stimulation, but doesn’t really want to take the time to understand anything on a deep level.
The Moon’s opposition to Venus asks you to reconcile the difference between the external appearance and the inner, emotional knowing. Also, are your deep, emotional needs in tune with the value system you are using? The Moon shows what we need emotionally, while Venus reflects our values. It is very easy to get caught up in the values of the external world to the extent that we ignore our own inner voice.
Venus Transiting the Face of the Sun
On June 5, 2012, immediately after the eclipse, the Earth, Venus and the Sun will be conjunct at 15 degrees Gemini and we will be able to see Venus crossing the face of the sun in silhouette. These unique Venus transits come in pairs eight years apart, but the pairs only occur every 100-plus years. The last time this happened was in June 2004. The next one will occur in the year 2117.
This adds considerable Venusian energy to the eclipse dynamics. Though it is happening a day after the eclipse, it is still very strong. With Venus retrograde, relationship dynamics are under considerable strain.
Sun and Moon Square Mars in Virgo
Though this eclipse is somewhat mild compared to others, there could be definite upsets in the area of relationships. The Moon and Venus rule women and the Sun and Mars are masculine. Mars in Virgo square the Gemini Sun and Sagittarius Moon could bring angry, picky fights, with emotional hurt feelings and with neither partner taking the time to understand the other. My best advice would be to avoid hasty words and quick, biting retorts during this eclipse period.

I will be offering mini eclipse readings on a limited basis for $25 for a 20 minute reading. Because I can only do a limited number of these mini readings, all readings will be on a first come, first served basis.

Denzid, Thank you for your kind words. Yes, you are going through a big transition. Part of the reason, I talked about relationships was becasue Pluto is transiting your first house. Transits to the first house will always affect your 7th house of relationships. Pluto transiting the first house will, over time, change how you present yourself to the world. Many people even change their appearance somewhat with a first house Pluto transit. Thus, as you project yourself to others in a different manner, the significant others in your life will be affected. If you are already in a relationship, new relationship terms may need to be discussed and the relationship adjusted. If you are not in a relationship, you may find yourself seeking out potential love interests who are much different than what you would normally seek out.
ruby,
you are great!,thank you again for your comments, i have few more questions, Isn’t pluto transitting my 8th house? (due to summer time adjustment, you might have skipped that ).
Also, I am single and with what you mentioned, if I enter a relationship, is it possible to enter a serious & with different kind of a person ? Or will I enter a wrong relationship?
When you combine with solar eclipse comment(01 degree ascendant Gemini , 1st house) I think it will effect my relationship issues a lot.
Other than these, I suppose 6th house will see some effect as well.
thanks in advance,, 🙂
Hello Denzid, Regarding your chart, I believe I did make an adjustment for summer time. I think the discrepancy comes from the type of chart we each are using. I use the tropical, Koch chart.
As far as relationship matters: Pluto can bring a lot of upset, grief and hard times. The absolute blessing hidden in a Pluto transit is that we often become more wise and not as naive. I would almost guarantee that you will be able to attract a more real, genuine person and relationship once the Pluto transit becomes less strong. I would advise you to work with the Pluto lessons so that you develop discernment and the ability to see below surface appearances (Pluto). You will then able to see the true beauty in potential partners, not just the surface attraction.
Hi Ruby
Thank you so much for such great insights on what is going on. For me, not only is their the lunar eclipse, the venus transit, etc but it was my birthday yesterday, June 3d and my rising is Virgo and moon is in Pisces. June 3, 1964 Orange, NJ. I felt very emotional during the solar eclipse. Some of that is still going on, especially in my relationship with my Sagittarius boyfriend (he’s Sag sun and rising, Gemini moon), and with some friendships, but also it feels like new beginnings re career..which is great because in my area of career I have felt inert for quite awhile..Any insights on what is going on would be so appreciated.
