I never paid much attention to Eclipses until this year (2014) they came and went without incident for me; they never bothered me and I never bothered about them! That is until March 2014 when my friend and associate Jean Luo told me that the coming Lunar eclipse in Libra on April 15th, would hit my sun sign of Libra, at almost exactly the same angle of 25 degrees. I looked at my chart and was able to see she was correct, not only that, but it would also hit my Chiron at 26 degrees. Chiron is where our deepest wounds lie, and I mean DEEP, it can be from one incarnation or many, but there was no doubt the eclipse was going to affect me in some way.

I did not know how serious this was going to be until after the eclipse, but before I write about that, I need to state for 10 years, my husband Alan and I had been working through a very deep past life situation, and it was still affecting both of us when the eclipse hit. He only had to speak in a certain tone of voice to me, for me to react emotionally, and things I did triggered him and made him frustrated and angry! I had considered leaving him during those ten years, I loved him so much, but it was difficult to live with him. The past life energy would raise its head and create so many problems for both of us; I never did leave because something inside of me told me I was meant to deal with this and let go of it. Running away from the situation would only prolong the situation, it was time to face the music, but I did not know how to cope with it. When the eclipse hit, I was living in India.

The eclipse approached, and past, I found myself being very angry and depressed during the eclipse, extremely tired also. Then it was passed and over. I had a sebaceous cyst on my arm for most of my life, and all of a sudden it became red and very angry, it just came up overnight, and resulted in my having to go to the Emergency department of an Indian hospital and having it removed. As the doctor was removing it I ‘saw’ in a vision Alan hitting me on the arm in anger in the past life we shared where all the conflict was, it was very painful and created in that life a lump (the cyst) which never healed. I had 6 stitches in it, but no pain, it made me realize just how powerful past life energy is. Early in our relationship, Alan and I had gone to London and once in England, he had started having pain in his arm, such pain he could only move his arm upwards half way, this was also a past life issue, from an incarnation as a boy chimney sweep who had fallen and grabbed a peg (in those days there were iron pegs placed inside the chimney for the sweeps to climb up when cleaning) but his hand was loose on the peg and it had stretched his arm and he fell to the bottom. It took Alan ten months to heal from a wound not even from this life!

The planet/asteroid (some are not sure what it is) known as Chiron where it is situated in our birth chart is where we hold our deepest wounds; these wounds are so deep nothing we have done in the past has freed the energy, but all of a sudden it begins to shift and come to the surface. For me, my Chiron was being triggered to release by the energy of the eclipse, as was my Sun; it was time for change, time for me to release the pain and sorrow which had stopped me for many incarnations from becoming the person I should be. In a number of incarnations, this energy trapped from this particular past life with Alan had stopped me from being the person I should be, and finally it was being released! Two weeks after having the cyst removed I was in hospital again this time with a condition called cellulitis in the right leg. I was five days in hospital limited to staying in the bed except for bathroom visits, on anti-biotics and probiotics plus other medications to help the leg heal, the final release again from the past life with Alan. The Eclipse energy not only brought the old energy to the surface, but it also transformed me also, for as the deep wounding came out, it changed my attitude towards Alan, and all of a sudden I could see things I could not see before about him.

Suddenly there was no more animosity, no more anger, no more wanting to be somewhere else, although I had decided to stay with him years prior to this, it did not stop me from wanting to leave and wanting to move away from him. Now, all that was gone, and I was seeing my husband in a different light. As I changed, he changed also, he too was affected by the eclipse; he was a Libra also, with his sun at 23 degrees, two degrees away from the eclipse 25 degrees, my inner long held emotions were no longer triggering him, and after ten years, we could actually talk to each other and communicate without friction. There had not been constant friction of course, but at least once a week we would have the difficulty of communicating in some way. In the past I had never looked at eclipses, even though as an intuitive astrologer I knew of them, I had never been affected by one. Now I had been affected in a big way and not only had I had the effects of the energy in physical form, bringing the wounds I had to the surface, I was also affected emotionally.

I remembered when I first knew Alan there was no recognition of a past life, none whatsoever, it took about a year for the energy to begin coming to the surface; I knew there WAS a past life, I had been shown it on the plane going back to New Zealand/Australia after a visit to LA where I had spent time with Alan, it was pretty explicit and in depth, I remember crying all the way home in the plane and the steward in our section of the plane being very concerned about me, but I never dreamed of the wounding inside of me and that it would manifest physically like it did ten years later, after all the emotions came to the surface. During the life we had together, where this was all triggered, Alan was so angry, his anger was taken out on me, and I was so frightened of him, I found myself still being in fear of him as time unfolded and we began to live together and got married. As the years passed by, my fear became more abject, I basically gave away my freedom because of it, frightened to question him, challenge him, discuss anything with him, it was all past life based and for a long time I did not know why I acted this way. After being together for 8 years I finally began to see where it came from; then I had to reverse it which was not an easy thing to do.

The whole experience gave me such an insight into our life here on the earth plane, and how we are affected by past life energy! I wondered how many people were experiencing the same kind of thing Alan and I had done in their relationships and how many of them knew it was from a past life. How many couples had parted because of communication and other problems all from a past life, not being aware of where the problems came from and because of not knowing, unable to work it out, only to have to come back again in another incarnation for another try, and another, and another until they became enlightened enough to realize where it was from and with whom. Each one of us has deep wounds, nobody can say they do not; they are often so deep we do not know they are there, I certainly did, and for ten years, those wounds affected my relationship with a beautiful man, who in this life had done nothing except try to help me in repayment for the past life; (even though he did not know he was doing it for that) I on the other hand only saw him as the person who caused me a lot of sadness and grief in a past life, and reacted every now and again to the things he did!

Do you know where your Chiron is? Do you know where your deepest wounds lie? If you do not, then perhaps it is time to know about it, and begin the healing of yourself so that you do not have to manifest physical symptoms which can cause distress, and other problems later in your life. (I had to wait until I was 67 to unload my wounds!) On the www.maitreya.co web site we do a computer generated chart for Chiron, think about purchasing one, it could be the best money you ever spent. Jean Luo also does a personal reading for you, on where your Chiron is and what it represents in your life, you can contact Jean at jean@maitreya.co she can do this in person if you live in San Francisco, or via Skype for you. As an astrologer myself I knew about Chiron and also knew it was about ME, nobody else, as it was in my first house, but I honestly thought I had dealt with it earlier in my life, I was wrong, and I paid the price in two visits to the hospital and one which could have caused me serious issues (cellulitis) if I had not chosen to go to the hospital when I did. I have to thank one of my Facebook fans for recognizing the photo I posted of it on the fan page, and alerting me to how dangerous it was. Chiron was only discovered in 1977, but boy, is it worth knowing about!
