Just as astrologers anticipated, 2012 is proving to be an eventful year for the heavens! This month we are fortunate to experience the transformational energies of two important Eclipses—the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on June 4 and the Venus Eclipse to the Sun on June 5. Talk about a potent internal wake-up call—WOW! As you have experienced and know firsthand, Astrology is an effective tool for our evolutionary growth because it can provide practical self-guidance based on your soul’s destiny. That said, it is always important to point out that the planets or birth chart do not cause events to occur in our lives, rather they reflect our level of consciousness—or awareness of the stagnant patterns from which we wish to break free.
Awareness to your individual past patterning, as well as your soul’s current destiny, is one of the many gifts Astrology offers. When you feel stuck and not able to create movement in your life, you have likely become too comfortable with the security of past familiarity. Therefore, discomfort will become more intense in order to instigate movement into a new way of interacting in life. During important Eclipse periods such as this one, the universe is encouraging us to awaken to our individual and collective destinies.
The “Ring of Fire” Eclipse and current Venus Retrograde are emphasizing a need to understand our internal and external values and to realize that these values can propel us into happiness or misery. Gemini wants us to think and communicate with mindfulness since our thought processes create our reality. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is continuing with the theme of communication and an emphasis on truth versus belief. What are your individual beliefs at this moment in time? What stories have you created or fabricated about your reality? Are they reflecting your individual destiny—your truth? If yes, wonderful! If not, Eclipses are an opportunity to acknowledge that which no longer serves you so you can move into proper alignment with your innate wisdom—truth consciousness!
Eclipses bring about revelations on many levels collectively as well as individually. You also know from my previous Astro-Grams that Eclipse periods can bring about Earth changes– like last week’s earthquakes in Italy—as well as social-political issues that point to corruption, and less-than-honest public dealings, such as the current FaceBook insider trading debacle or the Wisconsin recall election. Be sure and keep a watchful eye on the upcoming primary in California occurring the day of the rare Venus Eclipse to the Sun!
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.
