Last week we heard what Pam Youghans, the astrologer, had to say about the eclipse and the planetary influences active at the moment. I want to start with Pam’s latest forecast as I think it reflects what is going on right now for many, and then we will hear Matt Kahn’s perspective.
POWERFUL REVERBERATIONS from last week’s Total Solar Eclipse continue into our new week and throughout much of September, as the Moon waxes and wanes and this dynamic lunar cycle progresses. This week, we mark the first choice point when the First Quarter Moon occurs at 1:12am PDT on Tuesday (8:12am GMT). Astrologer Dane Rudhyar writes that at the time of the First Quarter Moon, “we turn ourselves towards fulfillment or failure, as an incoming tide of possibilities slams against the momentum of what we’ve already known.” THE FIRST QUARTER MOON is a time to watch for signposts. We will see indicators of how the influence of the eclipse is manifesting, and get a sense of what course corrections are needed. As the Moon in Sagittarius and the Sun in Virgo face off, we are challenged to find the inner faith and courage that will enable us to overcome the obstacles that arise. This is a time when many will make decisions about which direction to turn, having a clearer idea of which path will more likely lead to the desired end result. To succeed in our endeavor, we must keep our gaze on the bright light that draws us forward, and not be drawn into the darkness of the past.
HARSH WORDS and misdirected communications are likely as we begin the week, with retrograde Mercury and Pluto in hard aspect on Monday. This can be a very judgmental influence, when it’s easier to find blame than it is to take responsibility. A certain level of underlying irritation seems standard issue for the first half of the week; the Sun-Jupiter aspect on Tuesday can exaggerate bluster and ego, and Thursday finds us questioning those in authority, especially when we perceive a lack of concern for the welfare of the people and the planet. BUT, WE MIGHT START to see some movement on Thursday, in those areas where we’ve been feeling stuck. Although Mercury is still retrograde, it returns to Leo on Thursday to retrieve vital pieces of information that originally came forward a month ago, around the time of the New Moon on July 25.
For various reasons, we either skipped over something at that time, or just neglected to really pay attention to the messages or intelligence that was being offered.
Mercury’s return to Leo sets into motion a process that will take us through at least the first two weeks of September. The Messenger Planet begins the proceedings by activating the degree of the eclipse on Saturday and conjoining Mars on Sunday. These alignments bring our attention to the critical issues that we will be working with.
Mars is likewise triggering change and the eclipse potentials in the last days of this week. When the Red Planet trines Uranus on Saturday, an energy wave is created that moves everything forward. Mars then activates the energy of the eclipse on Sunday, pushing us to make that evolutionary leap of consciousness that will enable us to turn the “incoming tide of possibilities” into a wave we can ride.
So now let’s look at what Matt Kahn had to say in his Emotional Forecast blog which was written on Monday, the day of the eclipse.
Entering Unity Consciousness
Today’s eclipse represents the emotional and energetic harvest for all the hard work so many lightworkers and earth angels have been doing over the past many weeks. For many years, energetically-sensitive souls have laid the crucial foundation for the energies that today’s eclipse celebrates as the further unveiling of unity consciousness. So much of the old carbon-based DNA has been transmuted, while new strands of crystalline DNA have been activated over the past many years to allow today’s energies to begin a process of synthesizing our energy fields into greater harmonious alignment with our physical bodies.
As a result, many of us may be feeling the surreal serenity, peacefulness, awe and wonder of these new energies, as the 5D realities many have been experiencing on the inside begin expanding outwardly to take shape and form as a 5D world. For some this shift will be instantaneous, and for others, quite gradual and subtle. And for the remainder of the population that may require greater adversities, losses, changes, chaos, and turbulence, in order to turn inward and align with these frequencies, those rooted in 5D will hold space as heart-centered anchors and transcendent observers of an evolving new paradigm.
As the eclipse welcomes energies of both completion and renewal, it is a time to set intentions that fulfill your highest spiritual purpose, as well as your deepest personal desires, since the field is easier for many to access during these phases of amplification. It is a time of existential rebirth, where you have the opportunity to clean the slate and begin a brand new relationship within yourself. While there may be pains from the past or characters that represent healing still in progress, today can be a day of greater forgiveness by letting yourself off the hook.
May you allow the incoming waves of amplified energies to align your energy field with your physical body through the soft and gentle joy of an open heart. May you meet yourself as the angel you’ve been waiting to receive contact from. May you become the inner voice of encouragement who urges you to live as if you have nothing to lose. May today be a chance to reach inward and touch the depths of your own innocent nature more profoundly than ever before.
As the energies of 5D consciousness expand from within and radiate throughout, today’s eclipse is an incredible opportunity to:
- Embrace the theme of completion by celebrating how far you’ve come in your journey.
- Allow today to be a new beginning in how you view and speak to yourself.
- Set intentions for yourself and the planet so outrageously that you almost laugh at their implausibility.
- Allow time to be sit and be still as a way of getting to know the vibration of unity consciousness.
- Take your time with each task and activity as way of savoring the grace of each moment.
- Suspend the need to know where life is headed or how things will play out, so you can just be completely at peace and one with all — exactly as you are.
- Dare to open your heart to the ones you love at an even deeper level and express your feelings more passionately than ever before.
- Let the world around you be as it is, no matter how unsettled things may seem or feel.
As many of us welcome today’s eclipse as another quantum leap further into 5D consciousness, not just as an internal state of being, but as a reality taking shape and form within a world still healing, awakening, and transforming at an incredible rates of speed, we embrace this moment as a brand new beginning. It serves to close all previous chapters where seemingly endless rounds of clearing and integrating inundated the experiences of so many energetically-sensitive souls, so we may rejoice in connecting with the fertile ground of eternal being, where our new spiritual reality can come to life.
Whether these words match your current experience, foreshadow shifts that may occur in the coming days, or bring your attention to the subtle world of high frequency energy woven throughout the fabric of your existence, it is unquestionably a time where being heart-centered can now be a joy instead of a curse; throughout a world that can offer the greatest amount of safety to those who refuse to hold back.
