Lunar Eclipse Strategies for Health and Wealth
Profit from the Planets with Messages from Sky
Aug 15, 2008
A lunar eclipse always takes place at the time of a full moon, magnifying its effects. All full moons bring matters to fulfillment and cycles to fruition. In the light of the full moon, deeply held emotional issues come to the surface, previously hidden truths are revealed, and situations are brought to a head so that we can move forward with greater confidence.
Eclipses can also bring crisis and change to the lives of individuals, places, and even 'things' with planets in their natal chart close to the degree of the eclipse. For example, the New York Stock Exchange has a natal chart that shows planets close to the degrees of this eclipse, and some financial astrologers see the heavens pointing to, and confirming, the nation's economic malaise.
Heaven Sent Financial Advice
Noted financial astrologer Peter Elaides' often-quoted observation, which appeared in Barrons Review, found that, “...a full moon in general and a lunar (eclipse) full moon in particular, that falls close to a solar eclipse, seems to be the triggering device that allows for the rapid transformation of investor psychology from manic greed to paranoia..” This view was confirmed in the research of Steve Puetz, a cycle watcher who found that the greatest number of crashes start after what is now known as a 'Puetz window -- which is six days ahead of, or behind, the full moon, particularly when it is a lunar eclipse and within 6 weeks of a solar eclipse. Puetz based his study on eight of the greatest market crashes in history starting with Holland Tulip bulb mania. Although Puetz windows don't always result in a crash, they do statistically correlate with the likelihood of one. Puetz's conclusions show that the probability of all eight crashes happening within the stated intervals would be less than one chance in 127,000.
Astrologers Who Use the Planets for Profit
The August 1 Solar Eclipse in Leo cut a narrow path through both China and mid Russia; two hot-button countries in current news. Leo also rules all things golden, including, of course, the precious metal. It's making the financial news for those who look to the planets for profit – like Henry Weingarten, manager of The Astrologer's Fund, who describes his technique “mathematical psychology based on astronomy,” and currently advises clients to shift as much as 50% of assets into gold funds or gold stock. Another noted business astrologer, Bill Meridian, dubs gold a 'buy.'
More Ways to Play the Lunar Eclipse
During a full moon the body's tissue swells and become more sensitive to toxins.
Drink asmuch pure water as you can on the day of the lunar eclipse. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, sugar and highly refined foods. The body becomes more sensitive and absorbs toxins easily.
Full moons are excellent days to give your digestive system a rest by fasting on fluids.
Devote at least twenty minutes to prayer, meditation and/or mantra to harness positive energies, and offset any negative effects. Mantra and meditation will also serve to relax nerves and soothe emotions.
Since the moon is conjunct watery Neptune the day of the eclipse, participate in activities that call upon you to use your imagination.
The highest expression of Neptune conjunct the moon during this lunar eclipse involves transcending the ego through spiritual practices, rituals, and artistic pursuits. Neptune seeks to dissolve personal boundaries by eroding egoic concerns and opposing attachments that bind us too closely. Ideally, capture images of nature on film or photograph favorite spots in nature that allow you to transcend your everyday life.
