"We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more." - Carl Gustav Jung

New Moon Solar Eclipse/The Great American Solar Eclipse of 2017!!

   The only path of totality for this eclipse is across the continental United States, hence the nickname Great American Eclipse! While we all know that an eclipse affects everyone, when it's path of totality follows a certain path, we must pay attention to its significance. The Solar Eclipse is exact on the 21st at 2:30pm EST. @ 29 degrees of Leo. People with Leo Sun, Rising sign or Moon may be especially affected by this New Moon. Also, those with late degree planetary placements of the fixed signs or  the other Fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius, will probably be feeling the eclipse energy strongly as well.

   This can be a very powerful time of change for you personally if you are aware of the need to let  go of something so you can begin again after the New Moon. Eclipses have a way of ratcheting up the energy to make things happen faster. Therefore, be sure you are visualizing what you want to manifest and not your fears! If you have been preparing for a new beginning in some area of your life... job, relationship or finances, remember that the steps you take after the New Moon culminates can bring that to you in the near future, not necessarily in a few weeks, although it could happen fast, it will more likely be within the next six months. 

   The New Moon chart shows an exciting alignment of the Sun and Moon in fiery Leo with revolutionary Uranus in Aries, for a very harmonious relationship that can bring in surprises, new connections or the completely unexpected. This is a great time to ask yourself what you really want and to focus on that so you're not completely taken off guard when the new situation appears. If you've been doing the work of letting go of negativity and old  habits that don't serve you, you'll be ready for a revolutionary consciousness that will bring more authenticity into your life!

   Mars is close to, and will pass over the Moon's Node first, then the eclipse point on September 3rd, possibly stirring up angst and bringing more upheaval to our already unstable political environment. Your mission is to maintain as much calmness of mind and spread love and acceptance daily, until things begin to settle down. Going overboard emotionally only increases the time and energy needed to get back into balance. One can express ones' sense of moral outrage at atrocity by showing up and standing firm, without compromising ones' personal well-being or sinking to the baser level of those provoking hatred through their own ignorance.

   This can be a liberating New Moon Eclipse that can help move the world toward greater acceptance, understanding and awareness. Leo is the sign of strength, creativity and determination. In its negative mode, Leo is intolerant, dogmatic and entitled. Leo's real strength lies in the ability to love and encourage others. Let's all choose to be generous and expand our hearts to include others.

With childlike awe and reverence for all life, remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius

   Today's Full Moon in Aquarius eclipses the Sun at 2:10pm EST, beginning a powerful two week eclipse cycle that affects us long into the rest of the year. The New Moon on the 21st of August is the other end of this potent path, but let's start with this Full Moon. 

   The Sabian Symbol for 16 degrees of Aquarius is "A Big Businessman At His Desk". The image here is of importance and seriousness, taking care of business. How are you managing your financial affairs? Do you need to take care of something?

   Perhaps your connections at work or in your community need attention. Aquarius is the sign of the group, epitomized by individual rights which support each person and in turn create a healthy whole. Being a vital part of the place where you live or work, is highlighted at this Full Moon.

   The Sun in Leo is closely aligned with Mars in the ninth house of this Full Moon chart, opposite the Aquarian Moon. Visualize charisma and enthusiasm holding hands with boundless energy and you have an idea of what Luna is up against for the last two weeks of her lunar cycle. In other words, take care of business before bounding off on an adventure or making castles in the sand.

   Eclipses are powerful movers for breaking through stuck energy, ending things and/or finding an opening into the future. Who are you hanging around with? Do they support your forward movement or are they like a selfish child pulling you back and trying to distract you from your goals? Take the steps now to clean up your desk, your act or your thoughts, so you are ready at the Solar Eclipse New Moon in 2 weeks to see what new inspiration encourages you!    

   In the meantime, take care of business, then have some fun in the sun and remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet in the sand~
