THE DAILY PLANET ~ WEDNESDAY AUGUST 12TH: Today at 1:37 PM EDT, the New Moon/Total Solar Eclipse in Leo initiates the new growing Lunar cycle. This New Moon in the sign of the lion is a turbo charged eclipse because the light of the sun will be completely eclipsed in the sign of the Sun.
Eclipses are always turbocharged new beginnings, and this one even more so.
Leo rules children, artists, performers, leaders, royals, luminaries, lions, felines, the animal kingdom as well as the archetypes of the inner child, inner King and inner Queen.
It’s a beautiful day to take note of what has been emerging from the depths of our hearts in the past few weeks and in the weeks to come. What passions have been revealed? What loves and even hates? What inner child patterns that require loving attention? What inner king or queen matters that call us to step up to a whole new plate of living a life of personal sovereignty.
It’s time for a massive and powerful new beginning when it comes to our creativity, our capacity for self expression, for love and for courage. The eclipse chart cast for Washington DC, the national chart is Scorpio rising, indicating that shadow work is required to mine our buried gold!
This is an amazing time to do golden shadow work, and dark shadow work to reclaim our talent, and dare to lead the lives we were born to lead. It is time to follow our bliss, and clear the fear, ancestral blockages, or any other patterns holding us back.
The eclipse will help us laser blocks away if we do the work, with a little help from our friends and from brilliant alchemists, shamans and support groups. It’s a beautiful time to be compassionate with ourselves if we’ve had eruptions in the lead up to this eclipse, which was largely during a mercury retrograde. Eruptions often point us to unresolved deep wounds that require some loving acceptance forgiveness and attention. It’s also a time to dare to admit what we love and how we can pursue that with the precious time we are given on this earth.
The eclipse will last about 2 1/2 hours in totality, and therefore its effects will be felt for the next 2 1/2 years in worldly affairs. We can expect to see much that has been slithering around like a giant anaconda in the collective basement that has to do with crimes against children and wrongdoing in high places. Leo rules, children, world leaders, rock stars, luminaries, and royalty, and this eclipse will be revealing the shadow of all of that. It’s a beautiful time to connect with both the inner child and the inner king or queen. The child can connect us with what is most vulnerable within us that opens the heart. The inner king or inner queen can connect us with the most elevated and integrated archetype of the inner consortium that can empower us. It is time to be miners for a heart of gold and for veins of gold buried in the psyche!
