Dissolve into Authenticity
It’s eclipse season! This is where the path of humanity is illuminated for us all. The moonth starts off with the Solar Annular Eclipse (new moon) in Aquarius. The North Node is highlighted with an exact conjunction to Venus sandwiched in by Mercury and the New Moon, all in Aquarius. Saturn and Neptune hit their exact conjunction in Pisces this moonth as well, intensifying the dissolution of structures all around us. The Lunar Total Eclipse (full moon) in Leo highlights the self-expression patterns that are coming up for release. Jupiter in Gemini is also highlighted in trines to the fast movers throughout the moonth offering support to expansion with learning, communication and exchange. The Gene Key gifts to contemplate this moonth are: Realism & Anticipation, Altruism, Mindfulness & Leadership and Insight.
Our Aquarius Eclipse Moonth starting with the Solar Annular Eclipse New Moon on February 17th
This Aquarius Solar Annular Eclipse highlighting the North Node in an exact conjunction with Venus illuminates the authentic future of humanity from the view of our values and relationships. Pay attention to what comes up now. Uranus in Taurus urges integration of authenticity with our resources and further highlights the role that values have to play. Chiron just remains open and available for healing deep spiritual wounds. Saturn and Neptune are nearing their perfect conjunction on the 20th, bringing the dissolution of structures to the forefront. This combined with both the North Node and Venus activating the Shadow of Fantasy and the New Moon activating the Shadow of Limitation makes for a reality that will be hard to pin down. Use whatever practices you have to stay relaxed and allow the illusions to float on by as you tune into your personal path, walking it one step at a time. If you can find a calm center, you will be able to access those gift frequencies and anticipate your next move as it comes while magically building your future upon the foundation of a crumbling structure.
The first quarter moon on February 24th in Taurus offers a resource and value lesson for our path in life. Pluto’s breakdown of structure supports this challenge. The Neptune and Saturn conjunction in Pisces dissolves structures in its own way and creates an opening for support in this challenge as well. As your resource challenges and those around you are illuminated, watch for patterns of selfishness hidden in your desire to give or take. I would encourage you not to give with the expectation of return or to give in a self-sacrificing way. However, look to where you have an overflow of abundance in some area of your life and you see how you can altruistically give for the sake of a beautiful future for humanity. Divine grace loves a cheerful giver and a cheerful receiver.
The Leo Total Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on March 3rd invites us to check in with encrusted self-expression patterns needing release to make way for our authentic future. Jupiter is opened up to support an expansion of communication, learning and exchange. The moon activates the Shadow of Forgetting and the South Node the Shadow of Arrogance. Be mindful (the gift) of your patterns with being overly reserved and therefore feeling forgotten or censoriously provoking others just to insert yourself into the conversation. This goes hand in hand with the tendency to arrogantly defer to others through false humility or scornfully seeing them as beneath you. Be mindful of your shadow patterns and become the shining beacon of a leader you are called to be from a place of unapologetic truth.
The last quarter moon on March 11th in Ophiuchus challenges healing integration of deep spiritual wounds. Notice where you are stuck in worry loops about these wounds and shadow patterns or where you might be surrounding yourself with the noise of the world to drown them out. Let go of the worry and turn off the noise. Go deep within yourself in the quiet stillness and feel what comes up. It’s really that simple. This is where insight comes from, that small, still voice within, no longer seeking external validation.
