Festival of Light ~> Diwali Solar Eclipse - Igniting Sacred Light

The New Moon Solar Eclipse at 12 degrees Scorpio is the most potent New Moon of the year, as both Sun and Moon are with sobering Saturn and retrograde Mercury ~> Call in protectors & set intentions wisely, as this Solar Eclipse is triple charged with a karmic mother-load, reminding us ‘what we sow, so shall we reap’.
From the tantric meditators point of view, during this particular eclipse subtle body sensitivity to unseen energy can at once highlight and/or clear kleshas (karmic imprints) in an instant, or at least chip away at old ‘stuff’ to lighten-up the way along the Dharma path.
Meditators who work with the subtle body, channels and chakras, can, throughout this eclipse – and without identifying with ‘egoic mind’ – draw up from the Earth powerful healing Goddess energies through the central channel; at the same time, bring down through the crown with strong powers of visualisation a purifying insight that has the potential to release (past-life) habits and change thought patterns to alter direction and create dramatic transformation, all the while remaining grounded and stable at the base, bringing the Light out of from darkness, to radiate at the heart.
This eclipse has a peak of 1 minute 45 seconds, and will last approximately an hour and a half, depending upon where you are in the world, with Central Africa witnessing some totality. Its influence is long-lasting, meaning that “Nothing ever goes away until it teaches you what you need to know” ~> quote from Pema Chodron
So, dear Spiritual Warrior, have a good eclipse, as we unite mind, body and Spirit ‘holding the space’ with love and harmony.
Thanks for sharing and immense gratitude to Joma Sipe for his astounding artwork for the cover of Theosophical International Conference.
See you on the other side… _/♥\_

Mercury, planet of the mind, and karmic Saturn in Scorpio are enhancing
the power of deep introspection; for Scorpio is secretive sign, with the
need for privacy when delving into interior of one’s heart-mind; it is often behind closed doors that the most powerful transformations take place.
With the dark moon also going into Scorpio today, there’s already a
growing sense of tomorrow’s oncoming Scorpio New Moon Solar Eclipse 3rd November
(12:48pmGMT), when we welcome the newly risen Phoenix that rises from
the Sun’s ‘Fiery Path’. And as we approach the cosmic union of Sun, Moon
and Earth in heavenly alignment, we could also sense the need to raise
consciousness so that Spirit can fly like the proverbial reborn Sun
bird. But in order to be ready to cross this threshold, from dark to
light, we may need to rest and retreat into our own sacred space, to dig
deep within and remove obscuration, releasing old and outworn, negative
aspects of our psyche and personality.
Now, therefore, is the
optimum time to assess, from this day forward, exactly what it is that
we wish to be karmically responsible for. In other words, no one else is
able to do our practice – we have to do the work ourselves in order to
polish the most precious Dharma jewel, so Spirit naturally radiates:
When the doors of perception open, infinite LoveLight shines._/♥\_
Some moments are more enchanted and potent than others. At Halloween, when the veil between visible upper and unseen lower worlds is thinnest, mythical skeletons dance across the skies, and witches wing by on Birch tree brooms, it tends towards a magical time that gets deep, edgy, and powerful. Halloween holds a mystical magic that can transform in a dream-like instant, purely by honoring the ancestors and all that has gone before - and by being ready for a dramatic renewal. And as tonight’s is a Dark Moon Halloween, it’s advisable to call upon our protectors, totems and guides, and all that can help the Spiritual Warrior maintain emotional balance, which is specifically important when crossing the karmic threshold of the fixed and focused New Moon Scorpio Solar Eclipse, November 3rd.
Bear in mind that while we are now at the peak of the on-going 3-year Uranus-Pluto square (more on that tomorrow), astrological Halloween is actually November 7th, when the Sun is at degree where we officially pass through the ‘Via Combusta’, a.k.a. ‘The Fiery Path’, when Spirit rises like a proverbial phoenix out of the ashes.
All the while we have a myriad of sacred geometry providing anchors for practical magic, and heavenly pointers to where the fates are flying:
The ‘Kite’ formation harnesses a ‘Grand Earth Trine’ stimulating recuperative and regenerative conservation of resources; with the Dragon’s Tail (South Node) implementing the healing energies we bring with us, which can also be used in the future.
A ‘Mystic Rectangle’, made up of only helpful aspects, suggests spiritual stability throughout this eclipse period, until November 8th.
The ‘Finger of God’, pointing to Uranus, planet of awakening altruism for the next couple of days, with the life-giving Sun and destiny-fulfilling North Node (Dragon’s Head), in the sign of renewal and shared assets, joining forces with Mars in Virgo, sign of healing and discernment. All this suggests many are currently creating intrepid communities, forming Sangha and affinities with kindred spirits, individuals who feel also the need to support others in this time of dramatic change to power structures and resources.

Happy Halloween everyone!

With laser like perception, Spirit Sun in Scorpio now makes a most
harmonious aspect to the wholesome and thoughtful Virgo Moon. Such a
combination of ‘The Lights’ encourages eagle-eyed discernment which the
organised mind can apply to purifying defiled states of consciousness,
changing habits of a lifetime, improving diet, as well as
clearing physical space, removing emotional obstacles and freeing
psychic karma. Today is optimum, therefore, to prepare for the
transformational Solar Eclipse November 3rd, and patiently eliminate
that which no longer serves the Divine Feminine, or the sensitive side
of oneself, male or female, and generate the inner purity that
experiences the vast expanse of spiritual liberation.
In the
words of Thich Nhat Hanh “Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is
the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to
anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.”
