New Moon / Solar Eclipse

New Moon - Aquarius, 01-25-09 at 11:55 pm

The New to Full Moons are cycles of growth from seed to birth to sel-realized lives / projects. See Prosperity Vibe for the Full – New Moon Rituals http://prosperityrituals.blogspot.com/


The Schedule of Moon Cycle

1. 1/25 Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse
Planting new seeds/ideas for germination (projects begin)

2. 2/9 Leo Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
a. 1st signs of growth /nurturing growth
b. Has your idea grown into a project whose beginnings are public?

3. 2/24 Pisces New Moon

a. Idea becomes manifest – project has life of its own and
b. It begins to grow – others see is as real

Overview:
A couple of years ago everyone was flying high, making money and skipping the light fandango. Some were predicting that the Real Estate Bubble would collapse and fuel a recession/depression. The majority of us did not pay attention. "Oh Yeah, that…"

Now we have been stopped by the limits of excess that were the norm. While we may all acknowledge this radical and seemingly abrupt change it doesn't make dealing with unemployment, high debt and increased limitations (higher prices) any less easier to cope.

All we can do is keep going. The new moon is about the hope of the new world of change not quite yet manifest. This particular new moon represents step-by-step actions that can build a new world by carefully operating within limits and taking care of the details.

Being careful and working hard, paying attention and living in readiness to take up the banner of innovation and "we are all in it together" camaraderie are key.

As we begin this Moon Month it's very important to focus on what you need in the everyday life within the width and breath of your network. If you've been isolating its important to touch base with your friends, family and others in your support / business networks. The Inauguration is an example of the hope that's needed for the nation to go back to work and then the work begins.

Add a bit of luck as we give a little bit out to our networks – be compassionate and then watch it return (clues on 2/9) then cultivating a compassionate receptive space its possible to exercise the work into some good luck on 2/24. Look for women to take a new role in leadership positions world-wide.

New Moon / Solar Eclipse – 7 Aquarius, 01-25-09 at 11:55 pm:

Solar Eclipses are new moons that put a shadow on the earth. When we approach these occurrences with a playful consciousness we can release karmic shadow issues. Almost everyone has a negative idea of the word shadow. Certainly dark shadows are about the release of negative material. The Golden Shadow can also be released allow us to move off the addictive behaviors of looking to one man (President Obama) as the perfect savior. Our hopes (emotions) want him to be the perfect Savior-Man even though our minds know this is impossible. Releasing the golden and dark shadows moves away from the extremes of an addictive high of Obama as savior and feeling victimized by the pitfalls of the dark negative.

Approaching the Solar Eclipse with the idea we are releasing shadow puts us in a place of power – the power of presence and allows us to move on the path of mastery. Even though we will not witness the eclipse in this hemisphere the themes for release are:

1. Releasing doubt, fear/suspiciousness/paranoia. Releasing martyrdom-victim behaviors. Applying forgiveness /compassion to actions. Possibly opening a door to empathic/telepathic abilities by being a clear channel and being alert so as to take action.

2. Softening rigid authoritarian-like grip on discipline, over cautiousness. Releasing feelings of doom and endless hard word. Releasing magical thinking that innovation and romantic notions alone can save us. Embracing a middle ground between detailed administrative service behind the scenes and receptive innovation in a creative brain storming creativity to extract solutions (Let us also use the heart and body knowing to brainstorm).

3. Releasing despair and feelings of isolation from former behaviors of excess that brought us to cycles of irresponsible extravagance (spending beyond our means). Releasing spacey/ dissociative dreaminess that is unattached to our bodies (daydreaming while driving is especially dangerous). Grounding and connecting to your neighbor, to others, to your local community as a place to hold new visions and inject hope

Finding Balance:

When we honor the process of organic birth as it's associated to how we love then expansion into prosperity and abundance can proceed. If we go off into magical thinking without honoring the steps that bring projects and work to life then illusions and delusions can cloud our visions. If this line of action continues it could result in an on-going impulsivity that left unchecked could be violent and destructive.

Crosschecking between systems within us becomes of paramount importance. In astrology planets with a water element are about emotion and it flows, the air element represents thinking and it can be electrical, earth elemental planets are about manifestation and the physical body, and fire brings planets passion, inspiration and alchemical transformation. The crosschecks we need to focus upon and balance are thinking-air, somatic knowing-earth and emotions-water. As Westerners we are accustomed to over-utilizing our pre-frontal cortex and an over reliance on analysis and thought. Opening our hearts and the somatic (gut feelings) intuition are important to keep the rational in balance. When we achieve this three-fold balance and feel secure within ourselves and feel the inner core of our being then we can begin to "see" our ego objectively.

As we observed ego functions without judgment we can begin to see our chief feature or our life's major stumbling block. This time is a pivotal point as we change from conceptualizing ourselves as isolated individuals to a constellation of personas within as congregated in a loose community. In other words-

How do I relate to myself?
How do I relate to you?
What am I willing to surrender that stands in the way of my own light?
What am I willing to surrender that blocks our relating?

When we can release this block without clearly knowing what it is, then we step through the looking glass into a new interdependent reality.

Aquarian Age:

This is an Aquarian Solar Eclipse whose last eclipse at 7 degrees was Jan 26, 1990 when the last vibrational gasp of the patriarchy was finishing and the vibrational new age began. At that time the foundation was being laid for the departure of the old and a foundation of responsiveness for the new age.

This Solar Eclipse has some of the last eclipse and more of the community in evidence. Community, equality and relationship are the marks of the Aquarian Age. Equality becomes apparent when gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality and religious/spiritual orientation disappear and we treat the differences within ourselves and with others with delight and the curiosity akin to innocence of children.

The Sabian Symbol for 7 degrees of Aquarius is: A child being born of an eggshell. A person in self-realization moves through enlightened states from within an auric egg to co-create oneself in his/her own image.
