We are on the verge of a very extraordinary astrological time, with two very special astrological events which will have significant implications on our lives.
On Tuesday, July 2nd there will be a full Solar Eclipse. Two weeks after that, on July 16th there will be a total lunar eclipse. The whole time in-between the two eclipses is a very crucial astrological time, with much significance, a time of challenges and cosmic doorways, which with some knowledge can be tremendously valuable to our lives.
THE ECLIPSE SEASON
It is no coincidence that the Solar and Lunar Eclipses are happening in proximity to one another. Two times a year there is a perfect alignment between planet Earth, her child (the Moon) and her father (the Sun). At this special time eclipses will occur – a lunar eclipse on the night of a Full Moon when the Earth is between the Sun and Moon and Earth’s shadow eclipses the Moon; and a solar eclipse on the day of the new Moon, when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, and exactly hides the Sun for a short while.
This time the eclipse season will start with Tuesday’s Full Solar Eclipse, which will be seen from South America.
The eclipse will start at 18:01 UTC (Greenwich time) and end at 20:44 UTC, with its peak at 19:22 UTC.
Please know that looking at the Sun, even at the time of an eclipse is extremely dangerous and will cause blindness!! You can make sure that till the time of the eclipse you have the right equipment for viewing the eclipse, such as special eclipse sunglasses.
THE ASTROLOGICAL MEANING OF THIS SPECIAL TIME
The Sun and Moon are two astrological oppositions. The Sun symbolizes the aware world, and the ability to willingly lead the chariot of our lives. It is the mature and conscious part of us. The Moon symbolizes all the subconscious powers controlling us unaware, leading us against our wishes to all sort of places we did not plan to be in. The Moon also symbolizes softness, intuition, being child-like and femininity, but on its negative side we can find dependence, fears and reactiveness. It will symbolizes things from the past trying to stop us, whether these are habits deriving from our childhood and life experiences, and even from our past-lives’ experiences.
The time of eclipses is a meeting point between these two worlds that usually do not meet: a time when the conscious and subconscious meet. Also a time when our child-like parts meet the adult parts and so forth. The ancient ones feared this time, in which the lower parts of the human might take over the person’s higher parts. But actually, this can also be a very special time in which that which was unconscious in us, or that which we were fearful of, can meet our more mature and aware parts, and a healing process and development can occur.
Astrologically speaking the eclipse season is a time of a meeting point between the past and the future. And a chance for the future to take the lead, instead of falling again into old patterns and traps. This is a time to look into the eye of our own stoppers and our own habits and fears, and instead of falling into the same old loop, take the lead over our lives and create new pathways of behavior, feelings and understanding.
