hallo sweet bbz, Who needs a post-holiday juice cleanse when the eclipses are here to flush all those toxins right out of our systems??? Very early in the morning on the 30th (4:29 am EST), there is a lunar eclipse in Gemini. Lunar eclipses are super potent full moons. Full moons ––the sun and the moon in opposite signs–– usually bring a climax to a story that has been playing out since the reset of the new moon two weeks prior. Eclipses supercharge these culminations, tying together loose ends not only from the last two weeks but from the last six months or even the last year. Sometimes eclipses shake up what’s needed to change for a decade ––they’re that powerful. Toxins are purged. Words are vomited. Enemies are won over. In mundane (of worldly events) astrology, the moon represents the people of a nation. A lunar eclipse brings a collective reckoning. 2020 has been brutal. It’s given us a lot to shake off. I know I’ve already made this eclipse sound just beyond (as Paris Hilton would say to mean … “bad”) but, I have a feeling that you don’t need me to tell you that things are intense. This eclipse and the one that follows on December 14th (a Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius) should be used as a detox a dry brush a Fascia floss a hot Scandinavian sauna an Epsom salt bath. With this Eclipse in Gemini: the sign of doing the most, containing multitudes and throwing caution to the wind, it might feel like all of these purges are happening simultaneously. Yes, there can be too much of a good thing (or a detox thing) but with the Eclipse on Rahu (the north node or the Head of the Dragon), even if it’s good: nothing is ever enough. Try to do it all with intention. Applying the pore strip after washing off the Bentonite clay mask makes you extra sure that you’ve gotten all the gunk out of your pores but everyone can see your red face. We’re all in this mode but go slow and take notes if you can. Eventually, we’ll have to fill up what’s empty. Gemini and Sagittarius are the two signs most associated with collecting knowledge. Sagittarius is the scholar, the professor, the guru. Pretentious at times. Sagittarius wants to know “the truth.” Gemini is the curious child, the purest form of journalism, both the gossip and the troubadour. Sometimes brash or alienating and sometimes naive. Whether it’s to the homework or to the universe, Gemini wants “the answers.” This eclipse ––which is conjunct the fixed star Aldeberan: the eye of the bull in the Taurus constellation, revered as the smooth talking army general of the royal stars–– is about stealing the knowledge from the academy and bringing it back to the people. Foregoing the MFA. Banishing the guru. Checking the professor’s references...again. Doing this all with a vengeance. Gemini doesn’t care about your resumé, just spill the tea. This eclipse makes no aspects to other planets in the sky, except for a *light* & sweet sextile to Mars. It’s doing its own thing. What’s coming up now ––whether it’s grief or rage or desire or a long nap–– isn’t necessarily “about” the rest of 2020’s fuckery. It’s something that was previously untapped. Possibly repressed. Felt for a moment in the spring then compartmentalized as we took on the next challenge. There was a Sagittarius eclipse on June 5th that served as a prelude to some of this coming month’s themes but now the motifs are opening up and we can hear the full melody. Soon, we’ll sing along. Gemini is ruled by Mercury. The communication planet ––currently still in Scorpio where it’s mostly been since the end of September–– makes a supportive sextile aspect to Saturn a few hours after the eclipse perfects. Gemini is a loudmouth but Mercury in Scorpio keeps secrets. & Mercury sextile Saturn provides clear thinking and good judgment. What’s coming out of our mouths might sound crazy but I promise you that if the source has integrity then it isn’t wrong. Follow this “portal” ––another dramatic word but let’s just go with it at this point–– where it leads, my loves. Your face is as red as mine. Your tears are as bright. This eclipse is meant to fire us up not to leave us behind. And again, if what’s needed is a nap then what’s needed is a nap. The visions might be clearer in your dreams. It might be easier there to process what’s happened and what’s to come. Maybe this eclipse has you running away. Remember that you won’t really arrive until you know what you’re leaving behind. Do the yoga. Use the gua sha. Clear the drain. After these eclipses comes the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn on December 21st. If you look to the west at sunset, you can see these two giant planets sitting close together near the setting horizon. Currently, they are both wearing a tight business suit in Capricorn but they will finally form an exact conjunction at 0º Aquarius. Aquarius is radical in the purest definition of the word: knowing the whole of it and getting to the root of it can’t help but change it. It’s something to look forward to. A cultural reset. A fresh start. But before we get there, there’s a few things left to process. So throw on the weighted blanket and let it all out. I love you. Let me know how you’re doing <3 Xoxo, jaime ** what follows are horoscopes for each sign. if you know your rising sign, please read for that. & read your sun sign as well. if you don’t know your rising sign, reading for your sun sign is totally fine. there’ll be something there <3 (there might be something in all of them) these are meant to be nuggets to chew. hopefully, there’s some bite. these horoscopes are meant to be found. If you like what you read, please consider making a small donation ($3 suggested) here or to @Jaime-Wright on Venmo. If you’d like to take a look at your chart & what’s coming in the cosmic skies with me, you can book a session here. (More info coming about this soon !!!) ** Aries The channels are opening for you, bb. Channels of Communication, Support, Influence. The path is clearing. When one door opens then another door opens. This isn’t the time to settle down. Rather the time to open up. If the words want to come out, let them spill. You can clear the mess and wipe your tears tomorrow. This is not an overshare but a curation. Your words have power ––think about everyone and everything you’ve let control you & your songs. Take some of that power back. Taurus Today you’re going to want to regulate your feelings with retail therapy. That 3-wick candle? Those firm pillows? That luxury, cashmere throw blanket? For a couch you don’t even own? It all feels good! Everything you consume feels good today. Consider not just what you need but what you need to keep. Joy is a big word so let’s start with content. If you’re feeling out to sea, you may only need to balance the ship. Draw back the sails or throw something heavy off of the deck. Those who support you are extremely wise. Like, they know what’s up. You know this. So listen. Gemini How are you feeling, bb? Like the pressure is on? Like the rice is cooked? Like there’s so much freedom that you have no freedom at all? Like you sought attention and then got it and then couldn’t find the solution because you were so focused on the problem? If it feels like you’re underwater, you probably are. But hold up: you’re in the kiddie pool. Don’t make this the deep end. Just walk to the exit and When you’re ready, dive back in. It’s OK to be loud, to make a splash, to command the room. Just don’t drown in your own noise. Cancer If there was ever a time to stop doom scrolling and smell the roses? Today’s the day. You want to prove yourself (YOU! CAN! DO! IT!) but innovation requires rest. Read all of How to Do Nothing in one sitting. Listen to public radio. Take a bath and don’t check how much time has passed. Just float in the salt. Count how many times you’ve stirred the Manhattan. Go on a pilgrimage for organic maraschino cherries. Or just take a melatonin gummy & vibe. There’s work to be done but you don’t have to rush. Handle what’s urgent & chew your dinner. Slowly, ok? You got this. Leo Let today’s eclipse remind you of all the friends who have come before & All those who are yet to come. You are supported, you are adored. Collect the fan mail & send some to a lover in Berlin. Your ideas around pleasure have morphed with the times & a renewed sense of purpose has come with age. so , who’s your audience? The world is hungry for what you have to share, to say, to release. Appreciate the abundance that surrounds you, the paths you could take. Map out all possible routes and soak up the sun. Virgo like it or not, you’re about to be seen. Your creation has been unleashed. Your coworkers have notes. Your friends have worries. Your boss wants edits. After the applause, comes the feedback. You’re used to it and you like to be given a hard time But when you’re feeling otherwise unsettled, It’s just another thing on your plate. Your housing issues will be resolved (or at least reworked / accepted / put to rest) at the next eclipse on December 14th. For now, you’re a walking advertisement which can feel like being a moving target. Remember: the eyes on you aren’t daggers, just beams of light and energy. Take it as it comes & feel the warmth. Libra You don’t need me to tell you that it’s time to examine your beliefs. Pull a ritual out of the drawer and try it on for size. Maybe it’s too tight and maybe it’s awful dusty. Maybe your candles don’t mean anything anymore. Since your “mentor” betrayed you (whatever that means), You’ve lost a lot of faith. What’s left to believe? But what was it you really wanted to learn? Where was it you really wanted to go? The world is still shuttered but you can fantasize all you like. Let this eclipse take you far away. You might end up a stranger in a strange land but in some corner of the world out there, you’ll find a home. Scorpio No longer tongue tied, your unsettled mind lays itself bare. With this eclipse, all of your bad habits, awkward hidden agendas, condensed secrets Spill out of the cabinet. Not for the world to see but just for you. You gave your energy and this is your debt. It’s your problem now. How can you sum up this situation so you can avoid it in the future? Or maybe you … adore this obligation. A bit too much. Soon, you won’t feel like such a stranger in your own neighborhood (& in your own inbox) ––so speak up. Set the rules before anyone can break them this time. Sagittarius You’re always loud but today everyone else is louder. It’s no use interrupting. Just watch as their feelings erupt. From that volcanic ash shall come some natural wine. I promise. Set the dinner table for two, take out the trash, drink a gallon of water & simply listen. In two weeks, the eclipse is in your sign and you’ll have your moment to cry (or shine). Maybe you’re just overwhelmed by the love you feel for your special bbz. Maybe it’s not a problem. You’ve lost some lovers this year but you’ve gained so much support. Your willingness to commit ––uncharacteristically–– has no bounds. Let her push the swing today. Capricorn There’s so much work to do. Maybe you’re whistling as you do it. Maybe you’re scratching your sweater over and over, clenching your jaw & massaging your lip in fear. The thing is: you can’t be paralyzed. In this economy? No. You must keep going. The to do list keeps multiplying. The invisible ink is no longer invisible and is revealing tasks you don’t even remember writing down. Just look it over. Listen, it’s not the word of God, your to do list. It’s just a list. So erase the fluff. The pillows don’t need to be flipped again. Do what you can. Add hydration to the top. Above the coffee. Add a good meal too. See? Everything’s fine. Aquarius Pleasure is coming for you. Love & creativity, baby. It is here! An artistic vision is beamed down from heaven straight into your eyeballs or your laptop screen or your hazy, hallucinogenic bath. (This kind of vision is NOT unlike an alien sighting and/or abduction these days. Inspiration who?) What morsels of sweetness can you collect from the overwhelming estate sale that is this offering? You don’t need the card that says “Happy 99th Birthday, Aunt Sue!” with a saccharine pony and a bouquet of flowers but perhaps you want it, spiritually. Having things is a spell after all. Perhaps it protects you. Perhaps it is our passions and our whims that keep us safe. Our special things. Pisces Let yourself get lost in the couch or open the map and explore your options to settle down. Or find the perfect spot to dig a well. You’ve been running dry & empty, stuck on a fever pitch setting, trying to survive. But what if you had all the stones & the bricks & (most importantly) the water that you need? The well is right under your feet. That’s not a puddle but an oasis. So bottle it up or just slurp it out of the goddamn bowl. Patience is a virtue but you don’t need that right now. You just need love. Take a walk, take a bath & get out your boots. In that rain shower is gold. Soon, you’ll be swimming in it. ***
