·✰··☾☼☽··✰· 8/9th Pisces Solar Eclipse SuperMoon @1:56gmt (21:56est) _/|\_

·✰· When Sun and Moon unite in their orbits to form a total eclipse (Solar or Lunar) a massive amount of transformational celestial energy concentrates upon the degree concerned; in this case it is degrees 18-19-20-21 of supersensitive Pisces feeling the pull of oceanic tidal change. This eclipse illuminates the major theme of the Yang Fire Monkey year: that all mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces are under the celestial spotlight to become even more humanitarian and flexible, as opposed to crafty and deceptive. So while all of us might sense the world is at turning point of some sort (depending upon where those degrees lie in your personal horoscope), because watery Pisces is an all-consuming, all embracing collective sign, it’s also possible many will intuit the imperative healing needed for the underlying global subconscious, which too easily tortures itself in toxic turmoil; in as much as we all want to be happy and avoid suffering; but what stops us attaining happiness – or at least seeing that happiness is a state of mind is, of course, our deluded thoughts: the desire nature and aversions that breed ignorance and fear. Please note when mutable signs are indicated, people can be more easily influenced and craziness can quickly replace rational composure. The way to counteract any overwhelming emotion, however, is to develop a meaningful connection to the heartfelt Love-Wisdom which resides within, and live a life of service, be it practical or spiritual to add a sense of purpose that is as physically, mentally and spiritually healing for ones’ self (on a molecular level) as well as others (on a cellular level).

Many other planets now join the Sun, Moon, SOUTH node (Ketu, aka the Dragon’s tail) on this Maha Shivratri, International Women’s Day, including Mercury, Neptune, and Chiron, which are an imaginative and informative shamanic trio arriving at this eclipse with a saintly message: in the words of beloved Pema Chodron “Sometimes the crisis is the healing”.  Humanity’s greatest crisis comes about by perpetuating a situation of ‘us and them’. Be aware: this sense of separateness is how people are controlled by others who wear the mask of illusion. In reality, and from the ‘higher’ outlook, we are One: one race, one planet, under one sky breathing the same air, purifying in the same Samsara sea. Such unity consciousness is possible to quickly understand through activities that produce lots of positive emotion, such as dance, music, yoga, meditation and prayer can helps to realize that even the Divine and self are naturally One.  

·✰· This Solar Eclipse (totality is across Indonesia) is with Ketu, aka the South Node. When energy flows in through the south it is often stronger, in primal Shakti mode; this is mostly because we generally release through the South Node (energy going out as opposed to coming in). Riding the waves during this eclipse is much easier when one remains open to twists and turns. Another function of the south node is as point of incarnation and reincarnation; and generally we say the qualities of the sign, house placement, aspects made are an indication of past life energies. And this eclipse accents a spiritual portal that has been open much wider than usual since November last year, due to conjunction of Jupiter the planet that magnifies with Rahu, the North Node, the the gate has widened, . (This may explain why so many seem to have passed since that time.) The exact conjunction of expansive Jupiter and Rahu takes place at Summer Solstice, when the enormity of collective light can heal and bring relief to those who need it. We can also tap into that healing during this new Moon by remembering that all is never lost, the power of prayer is phenomenal and that with faith and compassion miracles do happen.

·✰· A New Moon is also a time of setting intentions. As always, our intention (here at DharmaStars) is to raise the cosmic love vibration with compassion, sincerity, and a kind heart, especially when faced with difficulty and uncertainty. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on the 23rd March (eclipses always come in pairs: solar and lunar), will be only days away from Spring/Autumn equinox, when this turning of the light induces a cosmic surge in the will to accomplish balance, self-directed as well as in relationship.    

·✰· Geomagnetic storms are forecast for the next few days, bringing beautiful Auroras to Mother’s Earth poles. And as her natural Sushumna glows with light, so can ours. _/\_ <3

This effects of this eclipse could last a few days; and we're not out of eclipse season until at least the end of March. Take good care everyone. Be kind to yourself and others <3 _/\_

#SuperNewMoon #SOlarEclipse #SpringEquinox !!! _/*\_

20th March 2015~>
✩ KARMA MULITPLIED day x 10,000 ✩
☽★☼ At 30 Pisces, the very last ‘omega’ degree of the zodiac, a new Super Moon Solar Eclipse on Friday morning (when the moon is closest to the earth) is exact at 9:31 am GMT. The last degree of a sign, the powerful ‘anaretic degree’, signifies we have already experienced the qualities of a sign and are ready to move on and embrace the next sign. In the case of this Solar Eclipse, it is the Piscean’s profound sensitivity and mystical awareness that has the ability to overcome duality to merge and blend with cosmic Oneness, that precedes the freshness the Aries Ram brings at the Spring Equinox (in the year of the Green Yin Wood Ram!), only 13 hours after Sol’s eclipse at 22:45gmt. The Sun is the star of this eclipse show, our Spiritual heart illuminating, feeding and growing all things on Earth; and in Pisces, as a world server responsive to the environment, showing loving kindness, forgiveness and compassion to all beings, especially beings, seen and unseen, suffering in Samsara’s pounding waves.

☽★☼ This degree of the Sun shines upon the Light of the World; and this alignment of Moon and Earth, with the full coronal electro-magnetic extent of Spirit Sun reveals the ‘Light of Life’ and a heavenly invitation to consciously focus upon our own personal heart-mind in direct association with Sol’s shining Spirit. As this eclipse degree inspires our wildest imagination through dance and music, poetry, meditation, and dreaming new worlds into being, it is also apt to recognise a certain phase or cycle has now ended. (Not least the 7 infamous squares of Uranus & Pluto and the techno-transformation that has taken place these past few years.)

☽★☼ A total eclipse of the Sun, with Luna darkening the Sun in totality for 2minutes 46seconds at this very last degree of the zodiac hasn’t been seen for many a year, which also suggests that while we really are at the end of something, personally and globally. At the same time a magical celestial portal opens for us to go through and explore our inner-consciousness, spiraling from Omega to Alpha and embark on the totally new and exciting armed with a greater compassion and wisdom that beckons us to cross into zero Aries with courage and confidence. By the end of the day, at the-all important ‘world point’ (the beginning of the astrological year), everyone will feel ‘the newness’ - in one way or another, like a breath of fresh air, bringing light into the awakening world.

✩ May your meditations be illuminating and the eclipse points be a beautiful balance of heart-mind-body and soul, so that all beings are nourished by the spiritual Light of Life _/♥\_
