:: Solar Eclipse ::

The New Moon on Saturday lands in Jyestha Nakshatra (Sidereal Scorpio), the Elder Star. This dark moon brings our eclipse season to a close with a bang and acts as an omen of energies to come. Track what has been trying to make itself known to you in the past few weeks. You may be over analyzing and doubting your direction at the moment and feeling as if you’re picking up the pieces. Stand back and take a broader perspective. New ideas may be presenting themselves.
Many of us have been cleaning house both physically and mentally. What have you been confronted with? Some things that are worth keeping and others that are worthy of release. The choice is yours. Like doorways that are left open for a period of time and then suddenly close without notice - it’s all coming to the surface and will soon dissipate. You can choose to sweep the dust back under the rug or release that which is no longer contributing.
Perhaps you’ve been anticipating a shift, yet holding back from making your next move — and for a good reason, as this time you feel a sense of responsibility that accompanies that something that was once out along the horizon and now begins to make itself more clear.
Trust the direction that is unfolding and know that the days on either end of the eclipse are more unstable, unpredictable and edgy, and especially on a psychological level. Take your time and circle around with changes and ideas after the eclipse so you can fully process the information. Don’t rush decisions now, be patient — you have more time than you think. Release any extra pressure from your life and keep things simple the next few days. Stay positive, surround yourself with uplifting people and focus your attention on prosperity and gratitude. The ancients encouraged breathwork (pranayama), meditation and mantra practices to harness and focus the mind during the eclipse window ( 12/3 9:29pm – 1:37am PST). Ground into yourself and attune with the elemental laws of nature within.
When it comes to Jyestha things cannot remain the same, they must change. Our task is to transform our relationship to the dream — to release all stories, judgments, agreements and beliefs and notice when we soften and open in expansion and where we cling or resist in constriction... to cultivate that delicate balance between trusting in nature's course and knowing when to rise.
When that moment comes, share your truth from your heart and take all the energy you’ve been holding in reserve and have the courage to move it towards fulfilling that thing you’ve been desiring all along. There are no guarantees and yet when the time comes your intuition will be strong and your judgment correct.

"In order to establish order, disorder has to be shaken; and for shaking to remain under control, we who are at the basis, at the level of Para, have to be Para – that is, unreachable by the surface turmoil. In that integrated state, the fast moving chaos and change will pass away in a steady manner.
So, we have to be very steady. We have to be very careful not to get upset by little or big things. If we lose our basis, our dignity, the phase transition will take much longer.
Don't give importance to things which may upset us. This is a very precious time for the world. Everything depends on how our awareness is; just don't let it be shaken. Our awareness is the basis of all these transformations. More than ever before, time demands we remain completely ourselves. It is a very tender, delicate time for us - we should not become angry, indifferent, or sad; we should just be like an ocean. The evolutionary power is waking up.
We shake it, then leave it; then after some time shake it again. Each time a new level of purity, awakening, is added.” ~ Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
