I hope that you never unfastened your seatbelts as we are moving at
nothing less than warp speed. We have now moved through 5 of the 6 powerful
eclipses of 2009!
How did you fare with the 7/21 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE IN
CANCER? Did everything
look a little different to you? Are you continuing to manifest and expand at
increasing velocity? What
have you transmuted in terms of old behavior patterns, emotional paradigms
and old ways of relating to others and the
world?
REMEMBER -- The faster we
are able to embrace what we’re "not too comfortable with" within ourselves
the sooner we will be presented with more powerful horizons, possibilities and
greater heights. I am reminding
myself of this as I have had some truly uncomfortable days lately, alternating
with amazing and awesome beauty and greater levels of Self-love and
Self-nurturing. Moving
through to the awareness presenting itself has been profound and life
changing. Are you treating yourself with love and nurturing as you progress through this time?
The currently awesome eclipse cycle we are going through with 6 eclipses
this year (extremely rare) is an unbelievable opportunity! These Eclipses are indeed “inertia
busters” and are helping open us and move us forward despite the ever-decreasing
protests of our “smaller selves.”
As the TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE PEAKED IN
THE LAST DEGREE OF
THE SIGN OF
CANCER (29 degrees) at 7:35
p.m. PDT on 7/21 we were reminded to be aware of what we
were focusing our minds on.
WE ARE MANIFESTING WHATEVER WE
ARE THINKING ABOUT -- WHETHER DELIBERATE OR
HABITUAL THOUGHTS) AS
THE REALITY THAT IS
INSIDE OF YOUR HEAD, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS PARTICULAR ECLIPSE, WILL AFFECT THE REALITY YOU EXPERIENCE OUTSIDE YOURSELF FOR A
VERY LONG TIME DUE TO
THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF
THIS EVENT.
I am summarizing the
above eclipse due to
it’s unusual power and the fact that the effects will be
felt by each of us for approximately 6 months, the peak being about 3 months from
now.
In a SOLAR ECLIPSE, which this was, the Sun is blocked (solar
energy tends to be more objective) and with the lunar energy (the more subjective) you
were invited to allow your feelings and your feeling nature to come to the
fore. Both the Sun and Moon were in
the sign of Cancer, the archetype of the Great Mother involved with the
creation, nurturance and protection of life. Cancer is a Cardinal water
sign and is most at home in the realm of subjectivity, imagination and feelings,
understanding and compassion.
In this eclipse, WE HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO INTERNALIZE REALITY AS
EXPERIENCED IN THE MOMENT, FROM SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE, without the influence of the Solar, or more
objective reality -- i.e. WHAT WE
FEEL ABOUT SOMETHING? Self-judgment of any kind that was
normally there was put at bey for the moment to take advantage of this precious
time. This was a prime
opportunity to CHOOSE TO LET THE JUDGMENT GO AND FEEL INTO THE SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF
BEING OURSELVES --
even if some of the feeling was unpleasant it was only a cue that some
processing/healing work was ready to be done – not a cue to stop tuning in and
staying away from that area or feeling, etc.
This eclipse was a sort of
“cosmic reboot.” WE HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF
ALLOWING PARTS, OR
ALL, OF OUR OLD “LITTLE SELVES” TO
FALL AWAY AND A
NEW SELF TO
BE BORN WITHIN THE SAME BODY. One astrologer I know has described it
as like getting two incarnation of growth within the same
lifetime!
There was and is some aspect
of Cancerian nurturing in our lives that needed some feeling into and that
needed some feeling attention focused on it, perhaps having to do with DOING FOR OURSELVES WHAT PART OF
US HAS BEEN WAITING FOR OTHERS OR
ANOTHER TO DO.
Cancer has to do with our history,
our roots, both the familial and the deep emotional roots within us. THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WAS PRESENTED AND THAT IS
STILL ONGOING IS
KNOWING THAT YOU ARE MORE THAN YOUR HISTORY AND THE SUM OF
YOUR EXPERIENCES. THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED WAS TO
BRING YOUR FEELING NATURE/EMOTIONAL BODY BACK ONLINE AND THIS ECLIPSE WAS A
FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO
INITIATE THE MOMENTUM OF
DOING JUST THAT!
Many home, family and marital structures were permanently altered as a
result – some terminated, some deepened, and some set in
motion.
The Male and Female – Mommy and Daddy are united at last inside each one
of us. This process has been
building for months and is now settling into our emotional cores. WE ARE TRULY EMBRACING OUR OWN RIGHT, NEED AND RESPONSIBILITY TO
NURTURE OURSELVES FIRST AND
FOREMOST.
WE ARE INTERACTING DIFFERENTLY WITH EACH OTHER, PARTICULARLY IN
MALE/FEMALE PAIRING, THAN WE
HAVE EVER BEFORE.
URANUS, “The Awakener,” the lightning bolt, and Pluto, the
Transformer,
aspecting and participating strongly in the 7/21 Eclipse
have greatly added to it’s power.
REMEMBER -- AN
ECLIPSE IS AN
INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY
-- AN “INERTIA BUSTER” AND THIS ONE HAD THE POTENTIAL TO
CHANGE THINGS MORE THAN MOST!
Please refer to my previous writing for particular things that it would
be beneficial to be aware of and perhaps participate in during this series of
eclipses.
A GOOD PART OF
THE ENERGY OF
THIS ECLIPSE INVOLVED A
FURTHER BALANCING OF
THE DIVINE FEMININE AND THE SACRED MASCULINE
LEADING TO CO-CREATING A
NEW EARTH TOGETHER AND THIS IS
NO SMALL
THING!!!
We have just moved through another significant Lunar Eclipse on August
5-6 in Aquarius. Aquarius is
the rebel against the conventions and rigid rules of society. He is the visionary and role model for
new ways to live and reach for new horizons. Aquarius starts revolutions, teams up
with like-minded people and really wants to change the world to a better
place. The questions to be
asking yourself were: “Where do I
need to shine my light? Where
do I need to link up with more like-minded souls? Both Pluto and Uranus aspected
this eclipse challenging us to think out of the box and let go of what is no
longer relevant or useful in our lives. They also squared each other, so their effect
was heightened and this occurs only every 60 years or so.
A NEW DAWN!
What is upon us as soon in the wee
hours --
3:02 a.m.
PDT to be exact -- on Thursday, August 20 is a new dawn, a
New Moon in Leo and a new phase of life.
IT’S
TIME TO LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE -- TO
EXPRESS YOUR UNIQUE ESSENCE AND SHARE IT
WITH THE REST OF
THE WORLD --- TO PURSUE YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE AND DO
WHAT YOU CAME HERE TO
DO NOW --
NOT AT SOME POINT IN
THE FUTURE OR
WHEN YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY OR
WHEN YOU HAVE THE REST OF
YOUR LIFE SORTED OUT --
BUT
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT’S
TIME TO BE
YOU WITH NO
HOLDS BARRED -- UNEQUIVOCALLY AND
PASSIONATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I
would highly recommend setting
intentions during this New Moon as they will influence the next long
stretch of your life -- the next
year for certain, and to an extent the next 18 or 19 years as
well.
Both the Sun and Moon are in a growth aspect to both
Mercury and Mars so it’s the most natural thing for you to truly “WALK YOUR TALK
TO THE FULLEST!”
Talk as if – act as
if and you will truly be
able to bask in the possibility of being all that you can be. Now is the time to act. On
Sunday the Sun moves into Virgo and we will have a good month to be more
self-evaluating, discriminating and mentally oriented. LET YOUR “INNER CHILD” EXPRESS ITSELF AS FULLY AS
POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!
Seriously
-- take some time right now
to reflect on your childhood dreams,
your deepest longings,
your “Bucket List.” Ask yourself: “WHAT DO
I WANT MORE THAN
ANYTHING?”
This New Moon in
Leo is opposed by Neptune so the confusion we have been under for
some time is beginning to clear.
Also – during this New Moon Uranus is opposed to Mercury and Saturn so
some unexpected news may come to you and you may be challenged to make new
plans. Along with the opposition
from Neptune we will have a greater ability to capture
and communicate unseen feelings and emotions – within ourselves and others and
it is a great time to call forth ideas and visions and create them in physical
form. Take precautions with
your health as with Neptune our psyches and bodies are more
susceptible to alcohol and judgment may be clouded.
This NEW Moon is made much more potent by the formation
of a very powerful Grand Cross generating three oppositions and six squares
DEMANDING REAL CHANGE IN
OUR LIVES – mere lip service
won’t do it at all! There is
an incredible opportunity to ACT
IN THE INTEREST OF
THE GREATER GOOD AND TO
TAP INTO A
LIMITLESS FUEL LINE OF INSPIRATION as this New Moon in Leo
opposes not only Neptune but
Jupiter and Chiron all in Aquarius.
We can channel our incredible Leonian creativity for the good of
all!!!
Of course, this New Moon will affect us all but it
depends on how it affects your own individual birthchart as to the specific
opportunity you are presented with.
Until next time –
Love & Blessings,
Carolyn
