This month we have a Solar Eclipse on
Tuesday, November 13th, at 21 degrees of Scorpio. Eclipses bring us a
surge of energy for change. Each eclipse has three components; the
Sun, the Moon and the Earth and each component has a meaning.
In your horoscope the Sun represents
all of your talents and abilities, the things you're interested in,
and your unlimited potential to use these talents to achieve all you
desire. The Sun is you and the 'you' you could be if you didn't limit
yourself. In every story there's a hero and the Sun represents the
hero part of you on your journey.
The Moon represents your emotional
needs and what you do to fulfill those needs. If you feel safe and
confident you can use the energy of the Moon to move yourself quickly
towards your goals. If you feel afraid or unworthy then you can do
things that are counterproductive and even destructive. The hero part
of you may want to get a better job, but the Moon part of you may be
afraid there's no better jobs out there so you let distractions keep
you from sending out your resume or following up on leads. This is
how we get stuck.
The Earth represents the mundane. This
is your life doing laundry, getting the kids to schools, getting to
work on time, and at the end of the day scrolling through Hulu.com to
find something new to watch. It's these things that sometimes feel
the most real and therefore take over whole lives.
In a Solar Eclipse the Moon passes
between us on Earth and the Sun and for a moment your routine is
interrupted. This can be a small change like where you just get up
one morning and decide to do something different. You dust off the
long neglected novel, you call up an old friend to reconnect or to
everyone's surprise you show up at 6 am yoga . Or, if you're really
stuck, it can be a big interruption; a job loss, a break up, a
diagnosis, etc. These things really wake us up.
I know this sounds stressful but
there's a solution. You need to ride the wave. Growing up in Southern
California we used to visit my grandmother in Balboa and we would
spend our summer days playing in the surf in Corona del Mar. That's
where I learned it's better to ride the wave than get hit by the
wave. When you're hit by the wave you don't know which way is up, you
end up banging your head on the sea floor and your suit gets filled
with sand. It's a drag.
The wave is inevitable just like the
eclipse and change but if you get a running start and work on things
in your life to change them for the better you can ride that wave all
the way to the beach.
This eclipse will be felt especially by
those who are born under the signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and
Aquarius but even if you're not one of those signs you can still be
affected (you have a whole collection of planets in your Astrology
chart). Take a moment and think about where you're stuck. Think about
what needs to change in your life. And be open to the change. You're
on the hero's journey so no matter what the eclipse brings you will
look back on this time and know that you're better for having gone
through it.
