This morning we wake up to the New Moon
in Pisces eclipsing the Sun in Pisces (5:37 AM) at 29 degrees.
Ecliptic events have been unfurling for the past few weeks and will
continue to permeate our atmosphere for several more. We are staring
down the barrel of one of the most pivotal lunar cycles of the year.
Over the next two weeks, we will linger in ecliptic energy as we move
away from the New Moon eclipse and toward the Full Moon eclipse in
Libra in two weeks. During this time, personal circumstance will
shift as we experience this energy. Shifting is equivalent to change
in both the personal and outside realms. Today is the day we truly
enter the time in between time for awhile.
During a New Moon eclipse, the Sun's
energy is temporarily cut off by the Moon. The Moon is dark and not
reflecting the Sun's light toward the Earth either. However, lunar
energy will build from here. What that means, in a nutshell, is that
change is coming to many interpersonal worlds and the reaction to it
is likely to be highly emotional. To bring this to ground for you, we
experience eclipses twice a year every year. This year, the ecliptic
axis falls in the Spring and in Autumn. Just so happens, today's
eclipse also falls on the Spring Equinox a time when massive change
is due in our physical environment on top of the fluctuating energy
fostered by the eclipse.

Remember those eggs I've talked about
off and on throughout March? Well, we may have a few late bloomers
but many will have popped from their shell and are roaming around in
what may seem like a brand new world after today. Incubation is
finished. With that comes all the energy of literally being born. As
the Earth rebirths herself we are being called to re-birth ourselves
and begin fresh. Nervous systems can be raw and highly sensitive just
like that of a new born. My Mom said that she could always tell where
I was in the hospital after I was born because she could hear me
screaming. Apparently, I screamed a lot. Well, I've matured enough to
refine that scream into the occasionally loud preaching session. But
from the sounds of it, being born was felt as a rude awakening by me
which makes sense because as someone with a Pisces Moon square
Neptune, I do NOT like to be woken up or disturbed as I'm sleeping.
The same type of wailing my mother heard after I was born can still
be heard if anyone is brave enough to startle me out of a nap.
My oldest son came into this world much
the same way. I can remember being in my hospital room after his
birth and hearing him wailing all the way down the hall in the
nursery. He is also a Pisces Moon who doesn't take kindly to being
rocked out of slumber. My youngest son, however, was different. He
was very, very quiet. He would stir a little when moved around after
he was first born, but mainly he would just settle and fall easily
back to sleep. He has a Sagittarius Moon and is more likely to wake
up smiling rather than wailing like his brother and I. Under this
eclipse, you too may be reminded of your pure emotional nature
without the construct of your Ego shining in the way to protect it.
Lunar energy, again, cuts off solar energy temporarily from the Earth
during a New Moon eclipse. Meaning, the protective and deliberately
constructed mask of ego falls and how we really feel about a
situation has a tendency to come out without moving through that
filter first.
So, today will depend a lot on how well
you can roll with and accept change and how you deal with highly
charged emotional situations. Thankfully, though, because you are
reading this you have an inkling of what is going on. And, if you are
observant, you know that this type of rawness has been ongoing for
several weeks preceding this eclipse. Folks are seriously on edge.
And, lots of them have no idea what is going on but they have
certainly felt the washout. That being said, boundaries UP and be
gentle with yourself and allow that gentleness to trickle over (if
you have some to spare) in an effort to console those who are
suffering while remembering “on edge” can also mean volatile so
tread carefully out there.
Immediately after the eclipse the Moon
takes a power nap and enters Void status until passing over into
Aries at 6:28 PM. The Sun follows her 12 hours later. From here, the
water will begin to dry up. The emotional hangover will start to
wane. Some will find determination to get out there and “hit it”
again while others will be merely pissed off and ready to go to war.
Passive, subdued and emotional energy is burnt away by building Fire
energy. So not only are we in the “time between time” but we also
have our asses on fire. There is emotional rawness compounded with
plenty of stimuli to either fuel us or threaten to burn us up.
Most of the “congestion” felt from
earlier this year has thinned and drained and folks will begin to
make forward progress. As a matter of fact, I'm already seeing this
now. We will enter a New Aries Season with Mars in his home territory
unlike last year when we spent the duration of Aries season with Mars
in detriment and retrograde. Last Aries season we tried to engage
only to get sat quickly back down on our rears. Not so much this
year. This is a set up for making some serious headway. That also
means that solar returns for our Aries folks are likely to be
welcomed this year. Last year was a pain in the rear for many of our
Rams. It's pretty exciting, really.
At 2:15 PM today, there is a sweet
trine from the Moon newly in Aries to Saturn Retrograde in
Sagittarius. Grounding is accessible and the emotional body “gets
real” and settles a bit. Then, overnight, the Moon trines Jupiter
at 3:22 AM imbibing us with optimism, restoring a bit of
self-confidence and prompting us to find gratitude even if we are
still in the midst of a storm.
In the morning, the Moon will pass
through the waning energy of Uranus square Pluto. In the coming days,
the Sun will repeat all of today's lunar aspects. So with both, the
Sun and Moon's movements I encourage you to hang on to the energy
brought forth from Saturn and Jupiter in an effort to navigate the
more harsh aspects from Uranus and Pluto. Be responsible. Be future
minded. Be humble. And quite simply, do the right thing. That's going
to be the answer to just about any upset that occurs. Figure out the
right thing to do and don't hesitate to do it even if the rest of the
world is burning itself to the ground. Hold yourself accountable
while expecting to witness a few personal explosions along the way
from people who are struggling blindly.
Today, get yourself on center. Purge
whatever emotions remain and bring yourself to ground. Deal with the
soft underbelly that is the emotional body by providing yourself
whatever it is you need for comfort. Then, stretch one more time and
get ready to hit the ground running for a few weeks. The night is
dark, save the twinkling stars but the Moon will build from here.
Explore your darkness and do not fear what you cannot see. Know that
absolutely anything is possible and there is true exhilaration within
that even if you cannot see it right now. The sun will rise. The
flowers will bloom. Hope re-enters our world as Mother Earth dons the
glorious crown that is her Easter Bonnet. Spring fever has certainly
arrived!
