Usually, it begins with a name.But when eclipses aspect the natal Moon, something – a new living situation, a change in health – may leave you feeling as exposed as a crab with her shell cracked open.

When eclipses aspect your natal Sun, you are thrust into the starring role, or must fight to reclaim it.

Planets woven together by difficult aspects are as strong as steel. But the very aspects that inspire terror in the casual observer are, potentially, your treasure. A hypothetically awful aspect is your cross to bear, as Sister Rita used to say. Because it’s like having been born with blue eyes or red hair: that’s the way it’s always been for you, so you’re pretty much used to it, much the way one gets used to a throbbing arthritic joint.
