~SOLAR ECLIPSE~
Solar Eclipse is a time where the moon blocks the light of the sun for a period of time. During this time our solar energy is blocked. Habits and personality traits have the opportunity to be wiped clean. A fresh start is possible in a bigger way as the Solar Eclipse adds extra power to the New Moon’s energy.
“A solar eclipse is a New Moon with tremendous impact. The Sun that gives us life and lights our path is joined briefly with the dark and mysterious qualities of the Moon. The Moon blocks the light of the Sun. In this moment of perceived darkness, spirituality and the psyche combine anew, beginning another cycle in the spiral of our personal development. All eclipses indicate change; solar eclipses signify beginnings and usually manifest as events in the outer world. At solar eclipses we: begin something new, make promises to ourselves, commit, announce, present ourselves, show up, make plans, select events, make decisions, rise to the challenge, make an effort, change, mature, take on greater challenges, travel at a faster pace, feel restless, feel pressured by deadlines and a buildup of emotions, experience a crisis and feel excited. In astrology, we also note at which of the Moon’s nodes the eclipse occurs. North nodal eclipses have a personal orientation and symbolize personal identity, ego and the physical body. South nodal eclipses are other-oriented and symbolize a spouse or significant other, relationships and new perspectives based on interaction with others. This is a north nodal eclipse, suggesting that we are being called to develop new skills and talents through independent effort.” ~Zodiac ArtsThe Moon is hooked up with the Sun in the intense, deep, probing sign of Scorpio. Here the depths of our being get looked at and examined for transformation and rebirth. The dark side of this influence is jealousy, possessiveness, and vengefulness. The sunny side is that we become so tapped into and perceptive of our shadow side that we have the resilience, and determination to turn it into something beneficial instead of harmful. Jealousy becomes knowledge of our insecurities and an acknowledgment of what we truly desire. Possessiveness allows us to see where we are still attached and needing to be in control. Vengefulness shows us where we are focusing our powerful energy on another person or thing instead of on our own life and self to create change and transformation.
This New Moon wants you to see where in your life you can grow past karmic patterning from old relationships and the way you approach your love life and manage your passionate nature. We are drawn back towards the past to an unsettled relationship connection that needs one last look before we can bring forth the truest expression of our love nature. We could also be drawn back into passions that were never able to be fully expressed and are being reconsidered for self-expression. There is a part of us that is dying, we are dying to an old way of being, an old way of living & loving. What we need now is to notice how tight we’re gripping or if we can allow this old skin to shed so that we may begin anew.
What can we let die in order to be reborn into our fullest expression?
Where can we transform our self-sabotaging emotions into helpful energy that consciously creates our lives?
How can we bring forth our passions that have been buried and forgotten?
Venus is closely conjunct (0°) the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This will add even more emotional energy to the New Moon in Scorpio/Solar Eclipse. Overall, it will intensify our desire for affection, appreciation, and even money; and we may find that we draw to ourselves the means for getting some or all of these. Yes, this placement of Venus can amplify jealousy and mistrust in our relationships, and our desire can be so strong that we ignore our integrity and personal ethics. It’s important to remember that we still need to be considerate of others. We need to be honest with ourselves and with others because the less we withhold, the more intimate we can be. Venus’s role is to help us recognize what we want most; however, because we are in the process of healing old wounds, it might be helpful now to ask ourselves, “What have I been running away from?” and “Whom or what do I need to forgive so I can more forward?” As with most deep healings, we may need to give up something in order to get what we want, which echoes the theme from the Solar Eclipse. ~Anne Reith, “NEW MOON IN SCORPIO & SOLAR ECLIPSE – Being plunged into the deep end emotionally”
Tapping into our resilience and dedication is possible now. We can rise above our past and into the highest version of our self. But, FIRST we MUST acknowledge the deep, dark, shadowy self that needs to be recognized. Once we have seen the purpose and heard the message of what these emotions are trying to tell us we are on our way to freedom.
We can work well with others as long as we are allowed to keep our independence. We want to understand things on a deeper, more spiritual level now. There is a lot of energy available to us to direct towards our passions. Make sure you are directing consciously and resist the need to control or manipulate others and situations out of fear of losing control.
“To escape fear, you have to go through it, not around” ~Richie Norton
LOVE
Venus {planet of Love} is in the sign of Scorpio and we are feeling that deep slow burning fire of affection. We are learning and transforming through our partnerships now and we may burn everything to ashes first. Conflicts could arise and passion deepens. We are dedicated to whatever and whoever we choose.
If single, Magnetism is high and we want to relate on a deep level. Mystery and passion is what attracts us.
“This final Scorpio solar eclipse/new Moon is asking us to wrap up any unfinished karmic love business once and for all. This is the only way to ensure we start 2015 with an unrecognizably clean slate. The dramatic plots are reaching their final scenes now, and we’re really asking our souls and psyches the hard and deep questions. This is the final impasse. Let’s face it, letting go sucks and very few of us would say we’ve mastered the loose grip, especially where romantic relationships are concerned. The Scorpio transits always bring these darker lessons home. We get to meet the lovely shadows of jealousy, possessiveness and fear of loss in all their glory. But the good news is that this new Moon reminds us that we can get the lessons and do our Scorpio stuff in a completely revamped and infinitely more empowering way. Scorpio is all about the extreme metamorphosis.” ~Sherene SchostackLESSON
