Open Question: What About The Eclipse On February 20, 2008? Is It Scary?
Ask the collective
Elsa, I’ve been hearing rumblings that the upcoming eclipse on the 20th will be a bad one. The planets have pummeled me this past year…should I hide under the covers on or around the 20th?

Dear Wondering,
I would not bother. For one thing, look at that chart. It’s beautiful. (Click to see full size) See the Mystic Rectangle? When I see something like that, I figure by and large, things are going to take care of themselves but in a broader sense when it comes to day to day astrology, I think this:
We have a lot to say about what kind of day we have. It is true that events occur that are outside our control but so? The odds a bomb is going to land on your head are very, very low so it makes no sense to concern yourself with something like that. It takes energy and for what?
Now I will note it when the sky is horrific but only with this ambition in mind:
“We all live amid surfaces, and the true art is to skate well on them” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
So if the day looks trecherous I will have this is mind. I will “pack my lunch and bring my friends” as they say but worry? No way. Here would be my motto:
“See surface, will skate.”
Anyone else?

I have been listening to Queen’s It’s a Kind of Magic over and over for the last few days…on repeat about a billion times. I just love it. Life’s like that for me these days.
I like that, Elsa. Good philosophy.
I’m glad you gave that advice. because that eclipse is sitting right on my ascendant. and all I could think of was the same thing when I saw that mars/pluto was squaring my sun. I’ve got jupiter right inbetween my saturn-neptune conjunction in capricorn, and it’s showing up as my irrational fears totally flaring up.
That’s good to hear, I have an exciting interview coming up around then that I’d really like to go well. My last one-on-one job interview was on Friday the 13th, which for the record has never been on my superstition radar before, but my interviewer fell asleep while questioning me, woke up and asked me the same set of questions a second time.
I like your attitude Elsa; I plan to incorporate it.
Well then I won’t worry… But what’s a Mystic Rectangle?
That’s excellent advice.
my own mantra is “chop wood, carry water.”
but it should probably be:
cut hair, eat ice cream.
Can you explain to me how I can figure out how this eclipse will effect my chart? I have my chart I’m a novice astrology student by my own accord, I guess you could say lol. I just found this blog today researching the 13th Zodiac!
