Transits keep happening; they aren't all in the spell of the eclipses.
Depending on your chart, these are some things you might be noticing now:
1. There's a forming conjunction of Sphinx, Orpheus and the transneptunian
Cupido. Just by themselves (without what they'd add to their conversation
from aspects to your chart,) there are concerns about whether there will be
a death in the family or of a partner. There can also be instances where
there are questions about the reason for depression--again, in a partner or
family member. Sphinx does have questions and it also holds the aura of The
Unknown. So some of the time, people can be "wondering" about "the meaning"
or experience of Death.
2. Remember that Orpheus can manifest as Music, lyrics and the sound of some
lines of poetry. A time or two, the Sphinx-Orpheus will be questions about a
song, lyrics or the line of a poem.
3. There will also be times when Sphinx makes his moves on Cupido. There
will be the usual Freshman Journalism Questions: Why, How, If, When, What,
Who and Where applied to the matter of family members or partners-- and even
about housing or living arrangements. So it's: What's going on with Dad?
Why am I married to HIM (of all people)? Do I really want to live HERE?
You get the idea.
4. Expect then to realize that Cupido can be the source of Orpheus...and
that can also bring up questions! (Is this place, this partner, this family
member causing depression, tears or sorrow? What can I do about it?)
5. Some people will have both Uranus and Eros within the angular region of a
lunar return now. You "could" find a friend very sexually appealing. You
could decide to break a routine and do something (sexually) wild and
wonderful. But for some folks, this will stress a heart valve or bring the
potential for a sudden cardiac event. Think of Uranus as the body's
electricity (and cells need it.) But when it shows up with Eros, it can
mean that there's an erratic pattern of electrical change that can cause the
heart to veer from normal. If the Uranus-Eros is "angular" (within 10* of
your Tropical or Sidereal solar or lunar return) now, check the opposite
angle for a medical asteroid. This points more firmly to some (Uranus)
unusual cardiac activity now (and presented through people represented by
other angular factors. Ie., Mercury? A neighbor, uncle or sibling.)
6. Speaking of the basic "medical asteroids," transiting Hippokrates is
hanging around with the asteroid, Kron, in mid-August. Kron is like Kronos
(except it's an asteroid and not a transneptunian.) But it can be
delineated in the same way. So if this is up in your chart, you will hear
about medical issues that affect fathers, celebrities, well-known folks
and/or government officials.
7. An angle just shy of mid-Capricorn could feature, among other things,
Saturn with Odysseus. While some will face hardships, responsibilities and
the need to stay self-contained because of travels, others will register
what it means to be estranged from the father. One of the ideas of Odysseus
is that one feels like they are "a stranger in a strange land." Somehow,
they're "a foreigner" even if they're still living in the town where they
were born. The Saturn can be about the father, but it can also be the kind
of loneliness and hardship that Saturn can introduce. When you're
(Odysseus) "the Wanderer" in life, when you almost always feel as though you
"don't belong," the Saturn makes you responsible for yourself; it can take
the fun out of life; it can make you "older than your years."
8. You can have parans oppositions between Odysseus and Hades now too. You
may deal with problems associated with tourists or travelers. You may see
examples of how a person's life circumstances, social caste and finances can
go downhill when they are estranged from their family.
Any of this happening in your chart?
