This is a very important Solar Eclipse New Moon as it takes place in the Cardinal sign of Cancer. Like it's symbol the Crab, Cancerian energy is often protective and evasive, hard on the outside and soft on the inside. With both the outgoing Sun and the impressionable Moon joined together in this watery sign, which the Moon rules, we are especially sensitive, cautious and protective of our families. The intensity of emotions is strong and people tend to respond without thinking, just feeling.
This can be an unstable time, loaded with hidden agendas, most arising from fear... are they trying to take this away from me?... what will happen if I lose my home?... how can I take care of my family? Those are healthy concerns. But this New Moon opposes Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn and the tug-of-war to keep our families and our homes safe, while the people in charge... governments, bosses and authority figures seem to have a different agenda... is intensely coming to a head! Will compassion and kindness win out and will cooler heads prevail in the coming months after this Eclipse? We will see what shakes out at the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn on the 16th.
For now, I want to remind you of these words of ancient wisdom, also known as The Four Agreements and shared by Don Miguel Ruiz in his book of guidance for personal freedom. They apply to all circumstances in every day and are a much-needed reminder that we always have a choice of how to act and how to respond. Choose wisely, as this Eclipse will have long-lasting repercussions. Following, are Don Miguel Ruiz' words, paraphrased by me.
The four agreements are these: Be Impeccable With Your Word. That means to speak with integrity, saying only what you mean, using the power of your word for truth and love. Don't Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. They are reacting to their own reality, their own dream. Become immune to their opinions and actions and you won't suffer needlessly. Don't Make Assumptions. Be courageous in asking questions and expressing your needs. Communicate clearly to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. Always Do Your Best. Your best changes from moment to moment and depending on how healthy you feel.Under any circumstance, simply do your best and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse and regret.
Remember, keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground and choose to come from Love instead of f.e.a.r. (false evidence appearing real...)
