Transcript: Total Lunar Eclipse Strategy
Transcript: Total Lunar Eclipse StrategyThe Hermetic Mirror and Saros Cycle 133
The program opens with the Hermetic Code: “As Above, So Below.” This eclipse is not just a sky event; it is a mirror of our internal shifts. Lillian Bennett introduces the specific frequency of Saros Cycle 133, which warns of illusion and the need for deep breaths.
07:15 – Transcript: The Illusion vs. Truth
Lillian: “Saros cycle 133 is filled with imagination to the point of illusion or delusion… it’s when we won’t tell ourselves the truth. We want our idea to win.”
Sue: “I love this idea to stop, watch, look, listen to observe… it helps that inner core of us. The eclipse season is a matter of the lights being out.”
Lillian: “The key is patience rather than act… well, it’s a fire horse year, so people are… there is a flavor of that. At least it’ll be a little more confusing to act.”
The Gift of Mercury Retrograde in Pisces
Mercury’s backward motion in the sign of the fish provides a unique bridge between the 36-year Saturn-Neptune cycle and our personal reality.
15:55 – Transcript: The Review as a Gift
Laura: “Retrogrades don’t just mess up travel… it’s the gift of: Oh, what did you think about what you felt before? Go back and review.”
Sue: “It started at 8° Pisces… it’s going to stay at 8 degrees since the 16th of February till the 16th of April. It will be quite impactful.”
Lillian: “The pre-shadow to the 20th is the exact period of Ramadan… it’s interesting to me that this time it’s bookended.”
Virgo’s Etymology: The Pursuit of Wholeness
Dr. Laura Tadd explores the deeper meaning of the Virgo archetype, moving beyond the “detail-oriented” stereotype into the “Mind-Body-Spirit” trilogy.
26:40 – Transcript: The Wholeness of Virgo
Laura: “The root of Virgo is Virgos, which means to be whole or complete. Virgo understands that everything in life is interconnected. If it gets enough data, the pit will drop into place and everything will make sense.”
Sue: “Virgo involves that precision of detail… how do we organize these?”
Laura: “The Virgonian energy of the South Node is needing to come into balance with Pisces of trust in the bigger picture, even if the data doesn’t give us that clarity yet.”
The “Bowl” Shape and Physical Presence
Lillian and Sue discuss the current celestial “Bowl” shape, which suggests a transformative, locomotive energy focused on how we nurture ourselves.
37:10 – Transcript: Grounding the Locomotive Energy
Lillian: “The vibe I get is really disruptive… quite disruptive. It’s locomotive!”
Sue: “It is transformational and it is emotional… look at Jupiter, which is that point of Thales, meaning we’re looking at the big picture but taking in the strategy.”
Laura: “Perhaps Jupiter is helping Virgo to not get too caught in the weeds… get out of your head, it’s not what you think. It’s got to be married with how you feel.”
Lillian: “I want to do craft projects. I want to take a walk. Being in the physical world is like a shortcut for me to do what you’re talking about, Laura. It helps me be more present.”
Global Patterns: The US and Iran
The conversation turns to the mundane impact of these cycles, specifically focusing on the US Sibly chart and the 1979 Iran chart.
51:20 – Transcript: The Mundane Mirror
Sue: “Iran… we are well aware last few days of the changing things. The lunar eclipse is strongly augmenting them… the government had their Saturn at 8° Virgo. This chart is exactly nailing it.”
Laura: “Shaw was the previous leader… his son is the crown prince. The Saturn Neptune conjunction is almost exactly on his moon. The eclipse is on his nodes.”
Lillian: “In mundance, the moon is often the public. That’s interesting.”
Sue: “For this nation of the USA… the eclipse is pretty impactful there. It’s all sudden. We’re feeling a great deal of this season.”
