8/7/2017 0 Comments August Eclipse"The eclipses in 2017 don't include great lunar eclipses, with a deep penumbral event on February 11th and a partial on August 7th. But the solar offerings are much better, with an annular observable from the Southern Hemisphere on February 26th and the Big One — a total solar eclipse crosses the continental U.S. — on August 21st." one astrologer's take of the situation
I am sure that you have been hearing whispering of the Big One, the total solar eclipse on August 21st. Me too. In fact, I received a email from my favorite astrologer, Steven Forrest last week. He has such an evolutionary view of astrology with common sense applications for how the various planetary actions are calling you to a specific task or challenge. I like the focus on "what you can do." Here are some basics… "Start by realizing that we come very close to a solar eclipse every month. That event is simply the New Moon – which of course means no Moon at all. At that time of the month, the Moon is aligned between the Earth and the Sun so the brightly lit side of the Moon is aimed away from us. We can’t see it, in other words. The only astronomical difference between a New Moon and a total solar eclipse is that in the former, the Moon is a little above or below the Sun, so it doesn’t cover the Sun’s face. Close, but no banana, so to speak. "Here’s the easy part – there is a big difference between the “poetry” of the days leading up to an eclipse and the days immediately afterwards. Right before an eclipse, something is rather literally dying – the Moon cycle itself. Events rooted in those two weeks or so often go awry. Intentions are thwarted. Keep that in mind as you make any personal plans – or as you watch any news that might be unfolding – during the “fortnight” before August 21st. "Any competent astrologer can help you sort all that out. Here, in this one-size-fits-all context, all I can offer is that if your birthday falls within a week or so of any of these four dates, the August 21 eclipse has your name on it: February 17, May 19, August 21 itself, and November 20." So, simply put, the planetary aspects are aligning to prepare for something new. That means that what is "old" or has outlived its usefulness, is on its way out… it is "dying". What is your life are you ready to gladly put on the eclipse fire? I am ready to let go of another level of living small. But, there is really more to this story because the planets have been around for a very long time and hold energy for the evolution over a longer period of time than just one month or so. Do you remember April 2014? That was another Big One that everyone was talking about. That event set up the energies that would take two years to unfold. We were being called to: transform and dissolve the social structure of control and power over identify and transform system creating fear, lack and distrust of our self and others shift from social structures of competition to a social culture based on the values and visions that women hold for all life Seems like the current events in the U.S.A. are giving everyone the opportunity to see the deepest, entrenched power over actions. And, to make choices as to how we each will accept it as a "new normal" or stand very firmly and say, "NOT Acceptable" with the planetary support laid down in 2014. One phase of such a journey is to make an end to what would prevent the new. What did the Grand Cross of 2014 hold as "new"? Why, the shift from social structures of competition to a social culture based on the values and visions that women hold for all life. You may seen that the political, religious, financial, judicial scene will be even more in upheaval from August 7th. Who might topple? That is in the bigger landscape. What about in yours? Go into your personal closet of outworn concepts, of constricting experiences and take them out. They are no longer Acceptable in your life. Participate with the energy being broadcast around the world: Set goals Define your own North Star Re-claim the qualities of your Presence, and the values you hold The energies are available for ending what no longer fits for you and for opening doors that you had not imagined! There are processes that can help you in this opportunity. As always, I am available for questions, for clarifying conversations and for feedback. As one who has had the privilege of watching evolving energy, I can tell you that we are in a time like never before. Such love, support and encouragement for this phase of your journey!
