The retrograde Mercury has moved back to
the degree of the New Moon Eclipse and will station to return to direct
motion the next day. It is now in quincunx with Pluto. This indicates a
period of ?instant karma? - where you?re shown through your thoughts
how your intentions can come true or into form very swiftly. The gift of
Pluto is to show you that there is great power in changing your thoughts to
change your reality. Mars is still within a few degrees of the Sun, so it is
still a potent force of action in this chart. It is continuing to activate
our collective will towards whatever we place our intentions. It is also in quincunx
to Uranus, which makes its force exceedingly unpredictable.
Venus in Leo and Jupiter in Gemini are in
a very nice sextile aspect, uniting and expanding our ability to be
communicative and receiving energies is a grand and dramatic way. They are
both in aspect to Neptune in Aquarius, bringing the gift of the Divine
presence to help us understand these gifts of the Full Moon.
"Inside Degrees" indicates that
the Capricorn placement of the moon suggests we be our true authentic self,
cautioning us against taking on a role or ?costume? that covers up our
actual identity to such a degree that we cannot truly know ourselves. We may
forget why we have taken on this identity or mask.
This supports the need to be sincere in
the thoughts and desires set forth at the New Moon on July 1st.
New Moon Eclipse in Leo
The Solar Eclipse is on July 30th at
4:26 PM at 8? Leo 12'. This last eclipse of the summer is the reward for
the patience from the demands of the earlier Cancer New Moon. Phew! Even
with a few oppositions (Sun/Moon to Neptune and Jupiter to Pluto), there are
several trines and sextiles to bring us some ease and grace. Only one
quincunx is present, the same we?ve had since the Mercury Retrograde on
the 22nd of June - Mercury to Uranus.
It seems that we are urged to truly and
fully release all of the mental tensions we?ve had for a very long
time. Trusting the process of our growth as humans, we are finished with
this prolonged exposure to releasing our old dysfunctional thoughts. We will
have the usual two transiting quincunxes between Mercury and Uranus next
summer which will be over with in two to three days each.
This eclipse, we connect strongly with
Neptune. Along with the veils to the other dimensions being thinner, we need
to pull in our box of spiritual tools to keep our psychic shields up and our
awareness higher so we can discern what is around us on the etheric planes.
Jupiter is sliding more and more towards
exact opposition with Pluto. This has great import for all Geminis and
Sagittarian people. This polarity will focus your awareness on your joy,
expanding all you touch and consume (so watch the waistline), bringing more
wisdom into your life, and allowing you to understand the power of
transformation much more clearly.
There is also a very nice sextile between
Mars and Saturn at the 29th degrees of Cancer and Taurus, respectively.
These two anchor the action and patterns for right use of forcefulness
acknowledging long term results.
Ellias Lonsdale states that the degree of
this eclipse is... "the bare stark truth. The singular accomplishment
of heavy labors...The long way around to a very simple quality that would
mean nothing unless it were first gone..."
Therefore, at the Leo New Moon Eclipse,
take a breather or a small break to gather your thoughts. This event
empowers your abilities to create on all planes of existence with great
ease. Your thoughts, intentions, and prayers in any direction may very
easily manifest results. I suggest that you offer thanks for the clarity and
the efforts you have made to grow from the insights gained in the prior 28
days. Give thanks also for the opportunity to go with the flow and for how
you have been brought safely to this moment. Acknowledge that further growth
and maturity of wisdom, self-awareness, and creation are at hand and you
accept this knowledge and empowerment with joy, sincerity, and deep
awareness of the responsibility.
All you who have strong Leo energies in
your chart, this is the last eclipse in your sign for a couple of decades.
(Next summer, the eclipses will be in Cancer.) Therefore, don?t pass up
this opportunity to be in your glory and create wonderful things, events,
and experiences, that enhance the joyous, beneficial, and creative
experiences of life for all the peoples of the world.
May you all walk in beauty.
Malama pono (take care). NamastT.
