We have a Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Virgo, on Thursday, September 1st, at 5:03 a.m., edt.
Click this video to prepare yourself for this magnificent event...
This is the beginning of eclipse season. A solar eclipse, physically, means the Moon will block out the Sun briefly. Metaphysically, the spiritual moon hides the light, or the ego, or the truth as we perceive it. We may experience confusion, doubt, fearfulness, "blindness", which ultimately results to a greater awareness, an enlightened reality. It is also a time for "tough love". It sets in motion a renewed path or journey, sometimes different than what we expected. The eclipse effects last for months. It is an extremely dramatic phenomenon that has proven to be quite transforming in human lives. For example, it is believed the death of Jesus Christ occurred at a solar eclipse. It is believed Einstein's Theory of Relativity was confirmed at a solar eclipse. All of us can look back at certain eclipses in our lives and pinpoint dramatic events, to be sure.
Not only is it the Solar Eclipse, but it is also the New Moon! New moons are a time to start fresh on new projects or renew old projects or goals in our lives. Because of Mercury retrograde, this of course will be pronounced. Everything will need to be re-done. Well, almost everything.
There is an extremely tense square aspect happening that will lead to the need for patience and awareness. Of course, there are amazing aspects, as well, that allow for excellent opportunities to pursue humanitarian causes, spiritual journeys, karmic rewards, and a renewed awakening to the justices of personal enlightenment and global evolution. With Virgo richly activated, cleansing the personal psyche and physical body are highly encouraged, as well as being of service to those that could use our help!!
The complicated aspects of this moon offer many suggestions for coping and/or jumpstarting your eclipse season...
-Relationships may be tense or strained, so proceed with caution. Be careful before you commit.
-I wouldn't make any major decisions or engage in any transactions regarding home and property unless you absolutely must.
-Don't believe everything you hear (or see), especially in matters of the heart.
-Allow transformation as a result of intense purging, due to the placements of Mars, Saturn, Neptune, the Moon, and the Sun. I know, right? By the way, Pluto is encouraging all this, so here's hoping. After all, it is meant to be for the good.
-It is a very good time for PLANNING travel. (I wouldn't get on a plane right now unless you have to, though, at least until some time goes by.)
-However it IS a good time for studying, philosophizing, getting involved in religious or spiritual pursuits.
-Ironically, this is a great time to polish up improvements in any home business you may have. Entrepreneurs, businesses of healing, service, comfort, etc. can flourish with fresh ideas and clean ups.
-The North Node is very close to the Moon and Sun, so this can, again, be very intense, karmically. It all depends on where it lands in your personal chart.
You can set your intentions and activate your New Moon/Eclipse ritual right after the New Moon becomes exact, but you can also wait for the energy to settle, and re-do it on September 3rd. Of course avoid "void-of-course" moons, especially for this eclipse. Lay low, stick to yourself, go about your business of cleansing and re-newing quietly. Over the weeks, it will make sense. There are good things to come.Of course, with this earthy energy, it is perfect for cleaning up in nature, working in the garden, tending to plant and animal life. Starting a new exercise program is a great idea, as well as going to the spa. Get an Angel treatment or a Reiki treatment. Meditate and do yoga!! These things can work magic for the healing of soul and body.
Although idealism is a good and right concept to pursue, one must also beware of disenchantment. However, always keep the faith, because it is still a "beautiful world".
And in the words of The Moody Blues
"We decide which is right...and which is an illusion"
Happy New Moon, Happy Solar Eclipse.
