The Eclipses and Our Destiny
This Solar eclipse follows the significant Winter Solstice Christmas eclipse that marked the closing of 2010. You may recall that the Winter Solstice eclipse highlighted the Astrological themes that emphasize ending of cycles. Energetically, eclipses bring about the transformation of death and rebirth, as well as regeneration. The December eclipse may have evoked an ending to a particular circumstance in your life so you can initiate a new beginning under this New Moon eclipse.
Powerful psychic energies give birth to new information as the light of the luminaries darken during an eclipse. Once an eclipse is complete you are presented with an opportunity for rebirth. An eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are in alignment with the nodal axis of the Moon. Astrologically, the nodal axis points represent destiny, and in the horoscope they are the points that define your own personal destiny. With this New Moon Solar eclipse occurring in the sign of Capricorn we are being called to use the gifts of our destiny with integrity, wisdom and self-responsibility.
The Sun symbolizes creativity, strength and outward expression. It is the energy that gives us the confidence to plan for our future. During a Solar eclipse we can find ourselves searching for our own light if the shadows of the mind and ego have created darkness. Fortunately, if this occurs, it is only temporary, as we are spiritual beings destined to find our inner light.
“You are the one you’ve been waiting for.” – LIttle Grandmother
The energies of an eclipse can be felt a couple of days before and after an eclipse. The ancient sages believed that eclipses were a time for meditation and learning; a special time to honor the spiritual aspects of your life. Try to keep your schedule light, remain internally focused, eat only pure foods, and do not consume alcohol. The veil between earth and the heavens is thinner during an eclipse, allowing you to more easily connect to the eternal universal wisdom that is your divine essence.
