Eclipse season is here! It starts tomorrow (July 12th 2018) with a Solar Eclipse in Cancer! An eclipse happens astrologically when the Sun and Moon are within 18 degrees of the Moon's Nodes. This one is 15 degrees away from the Nodes. It's a pretty partial eclipse, yet surrounded by intensity. This Eclipse is basically the forerunner to the Solar Eclipse next month.
A Solar Eclipse happens during the New Moon. This Solar Eclipse is happening when the Sun and Moon are in Cancer. The North Node which plays a big part in the Eclipse is actually in Leo. We're dealing with a mixture of signs at this time. The most intense part of this Solar Eclipse comes from the fact that Pluto is EXACTLY opposed to the Sun and Moon.
Solar Eclipses are times that usher in new energy that we need in our lives. They can have some long lasting effects. With another Solar Eclipse next month though, whatever new phase we're entering is just starting to get the ball rolling for what's to come.
~The North Node in Leo ~
With this Solar Eclipse and the one next month we are really needing to get the lesson of the North Node in Leo. It's lesson is all about stepping into our true authentic selves, shining our inner light, and following our hearts. Of course we also need to balance that with the South Node in Aquarius. Mars retrograde is even conjunct the South Node right now. With the South Node in Aquarius we need to be able to share our authentic selves with others. We must find balance in relation to others once we get aligned more with who we are.
Last August we had a Solar Eclipse conjunct the North Node in Leo, really getting this energy going. Think back to that time and how you were feeling. Did it lead to any changes about you stepping into your true self? How can you grow even further with that at this time? Have you been slacking in your authenticity at all? Also you can think back to the beginning of the year when we had Eclipses. How we shared ourselves with others was highlighted. Think back to these times and to what you were learning because we are not done with these themes yet! We are further expanding on them.
I can't stress enough how important authenticity is at this time. I've been throwing that word around in posts for awhile now. The world is waiting for the real you though! If you already are pretty authentic how can you share that even more? This is part of the collective purpose right now. The world is needing people to be the light, to be heart centered and to be authentic. Leo has a lot to do with creativity as well. So sharing creativity is quite important at this time as well.
~Sun and Moon in Cancer ~
With the Sun and Moon in Cancer there's a bit of a different energy combined with the North Node in Leo. It is a particularly emotional energy. This is really shedding a light on your feelings. Are you being authentic to them? Ask yourself what you truly feel. This can be a super emotional time as we navigate through what our real feelings are. That's where this month is helping us before next month. This month we're having feelings come up and as the layers of feelings emerge figuring out what we truly feel about things. We are hermit crabs going into our shells to process our emotions, look at the past perhaps, do some crying. Then, next month when we are more in tune with our authentic emotions that we have had to deal with we can start to get the ball rolling to have our outward lives reflect what's authentic for us. Basically where the fresh start lies this Solar Eclipse is a fresh start in emotional authenticity with yourself.
With the Sun and Moon in Cancer I will say that stuff around family could come up for some. Also security. It's interesting to see how family and your sense of security play into the other energy. How do those things affect you being your authentic self?
~Opposition to Pluto~
The Sun and Moon will be exactly opposing Pluto during the Solar Eclipse. This is intense! With the Mars retrograde (and soon Mercury retrograde) this is a time of reflection, with the Solar Eclipse itself there are fresh starts to be had, and with the Pluto opposition its also a time of endings or metamorphosis! Oh boy what a combo! With the Pluto opposition it's important to see if there are any structures in your life that are not supporting the way you'd like it to look. What structures aren't supporting you emotionally? What structures aren't supporting your authentic self? Pluto is coming in and making us realize what is longer serving us or what needs to undergo a total transformation. The more you are self aware and are taking a good look at your life the more you can be empowered by this transformation. This is an aspect that can cause cataclysmic events, so that we get our lives on the track they are supposed to be on. The more you are aware, the less harsh this can be.
~What a time this is! It is a season of Retrogrades and a season of Eclipses. With the Retrogrades we are having some serious contemplation and reviewing time. The Eclipse season is a very fated karmic time that gets us in line with the path we are meant to be on. This is quite a summer to say the least. I will say that even with so much going on, you may feel that not too much looks different on the outside. On the inside though there is so much shifting and changing! After summer we may see more changes in our outer worlds. Once September and fall start rolling around we may not even be the same people. Wishing you the best during these times of serious reflection, fresh starts on a soul level, navigating through feelings, stepping further into your authentic self and life and ending or transforming that which needs it. ~
