Upcoming Solar Eclipse, what it means for you
Out of all the celestial forces in our solar system, the moon and the sun are the most powerful influences on our emotions and how we feel about our current life experiences. If the moon is powerful enough to effect an entire ocean, just think about what it can do to our own bodies, especially since we are made mostly of water. And the sun’s energy creates food and life for all things on this planet Earth, so when a solar eclipse happens on the new moon, you are going to feel its effects for sure.
The moon creates many mysteries, as it moves from the new moon to the full moon, you may be able to feel the subtle energies playing out in your life. There is nothing subtle about an eclipse however, and this energy is likely to bring massive changes and a new wave of emotions.
Eclipses open a portal into a new energetic pathway, so it is important to take notice of them when they do arrive.
Earlier this month on September 7, we had a full moon lunar eclipse, which was all about completion, letting go, and leaving the past behind. This energy is still lingering but will shift as the partial solar eclipse energy takes over around Sept 21.
If lunar eclipses are all about endings, solar eclipses are all about new beginnings. Whatever emotions or events were stirred earlier this month they are likely to begin to dissipate and shift in a new direction as September draws to a close.
This solar eclipse is the last one of the year and it is going to set the tone and energy for the months ahead. In fact, whatever energy transpires on this solar eclipse it is likely to create a theme that will last until the beginning of the new year.
Energetically, the Universe has been calling on all of us to move through a process of awakening. Perhaps you have even noticed this constant theme of “death and rebirth” through the last 12 months and the breaking down of old thoughts, beliefs, and patterns.
The lunar eclipse earlier this month was in many ways the tipping point of all of this energy. Eclipses are always viewed in astrology as being deeply transformative times that can bring abrupt and sudden change. While this is true, there is another side to eclipses that is important to remember. Eclipses are like the cosmic helping hand of the Universe. Imagine the energy of an eclipse like a universal hand that reaches down from the stars and puts you where you need to be.
This place may not be where you want to be, or may not be where you thought you would end up, but it is definitely where you need to be.
The good thing about eclipses is that generally you can trust the direction they are guiding you in. Eclipses bring about almost fated events that are part of the cosmic plan and written in the stars for you. Whatever needed to be cleared from your life has likely already started to break down, and perhaps, even through the chaos of it all, you are starting to feel a certain amount of relief.
The partial solar eclipse on September 21, is definitely going to be something to pay attention to. This eclipse is going to bring a wave of new energy that will help all of us to start looking ahead to the a new chapter. Whatever needed to be cleared from your life in recent months has now been illuminated and the solar eclipse will help you to change the patterns of behavior around these experiences. The solar eclipse energies will give you an idea of what new chapter lies ahead.
For this reason, the solar eclipse is the perfect time to empty out your metaphorical manifesting basket and leave it empty. The energy is going to be extremely high at this time, and it is not the time to start working on something new, it is the time to remain empty so your consciousness can expand into the larger version of you that is unfolding.
When it comes to co-creating, it is best to focus on what feelings you want to create for this new chapter, rather than physical or material items. Use this time now in order to get clearer about what you truly want and why you truly want it.
In the coming months, allow the old to be stripped away and start feeling ahead into what is coming up for you.
It has been a long cycle of completion for many of us, but this is now coming to an end and the energy to birth the new is now here. Whatever new life experiences are awaiting us in the new astrological year it is going to slowly start to be presented to us after the solar eclipse on September 21.
