Since the eclipse is a conjunction to his MC in the sign of his birth, I
would greatly hesitate to use the word nasty.  The opposition would
indicate an extreme awareness around the 4th house (IC) issues.  As Steve
writes, he has already made plans to do the work of the eclipse.  The good
Capricorn would make careful plans, however, we have a Cancer here.  A
desire for new goals in life is certainly the message of the eclipse.  But,
leaving your home must be quite momentous for you.  
The Eclipse is a timing factor which, for you, is quite significant.

 re: Conjunction, new beginning.  Eclipse of his MC - change/loss of
current destiny path - Steve states he is changing careers, leave the
established relationships at work on all levels.  Coworkers, leaders,
bosses.     The influence of Capricorn is to shrink, not grow.  To bring
form and structure into the earthly life. The eclipse points out the new
structure about to form. 

Are you an Aries rising - have a natural chart?  A woman I met this summer
has a zero degree Aries rising chart.  She is Cancer (about 50ish) and is a
real estate agent - in the last few  months she sold her home, left her
work and got in her car and is travelling down the east coast seeing
friends and visiting Florida.  She will return to  - well, she says,
"whatever will be there for me".
I hope the "whatever" will be there for you too.  I trust the Universe will
have great plans for you - the profound sense of freedom must be
overwhelming!

To all on the list.  I have been optimistic about posting more information
on different subjects. Each week, when I attend the Uranian class, I come
home with such new information and thoughts that it reminds me of when I
first began to study astrology.  Back then, I had been exposed to so much
information in 18 mnths that it took me about 4 yrs to put it in a proper
working order.  (now that I think of it, it is close to a Jupiter cycle). 

At any rate, I haven't forgotten and I would like to say when things calm
down I will post to my promises but the year coming up may be less than
calm.
