“The wound is the place where light enters you” – Rumi
If you feel like life sweeps you in a big wave that sometimes makes you swallow some water or be overwhelmed, and come across several sharks along the way, that means that the total solar eclipse might be activating your personal chart in a more meaningful way.
We are in the bi annual eclipse season, and this season we have a total solar eclipse and then a lunar eclipse two weeks after.
The total solar eclipse in 18 °55 Pisces, combined with a super moon, arrives on March 9 at 1:54 am UT. Chiron and Ceres are conjunct the eclipse on the south node in Pisces, Jupiter retrograde in opposition , Saturn Square from Sagittarius and Pluto sextile from Capricorn. The eclipse activates the mutable signs axis.
Accompanying the solar eclipse is the lunar eclipse which will be on 23 March at – 3’17 degrees Libra.
If you have any planets or sensitive points in your chart around 17-22 degrees mutable signs especially but not only, this eclipse will be highly important for you, and the same goes for those born between March 9th 1997 – to Sep 1st 1997 / Mar 7th 1970 to Aug 30 1970 / Mar 7 1951 to Aug 31st 1951 / Mar 7th 1931 to Aug 30th 1932
Keywords for the eclipse: cosmic knowledge, dreams, sacrifice, heart center, compassion, teachers, masters, faith, commitment, metaphysical and physical laws.
Dreamtime is a dimension to a parallel reality to which we can go through shamanic techniques, meditation or dreams. In the dreamtime we experience the infinite knowledge which is in the absolute void, with the wisdom of our ancestors, and the transition to the dreamtime connects us with the answers to the questions we ask and find solutions.
Pisces is the archetype associated with the dreaming dimension, bridging different levels of reality, between dimensions, and connects us through the crown chakra to the infinite. The conjunction of Chiron is connecting us to shamanic and divine knowledge. We can meet teachers that will pass this knowledge to us, but we can also discover that we have all the answers within ourselves, that we are our own teachers. Pisces teaches us that it’s OK even if there are no answers to it all. Not every question has an answer, or one answer unequivocally. Life is much more complex, and sometimes we just need simplicity without any effort.
Saturn reminds us of our immediate reality, that of time and space, bringing the finite side and the physical aspect of our lives, as well as reminding us that we are now having a human experience which includes responsibility and patience. With Chiron it will help us make the connection between heaven and earth, connecting perfection and completeness with imperfection, to let the curing light emerge between the cracks and fill the heart.
The conflict appears to us through the eclipse is between Jupiter in Virgo that invest a lot of effort to repair, improve and refine, and have the faith about our ability to do that, with a certain arrogance, in opposition to Chiron in Pisces showing us the imperfection of the creation and the creator, as the Creator and Creation are one, no matter how hard we work. Accepting and surrendering to the imperfection leads us to learn humility and recognizing that we are not entirely immune to everything. Chiron in Pisces teaches us to release the high expectations or many dreams we have of life and learn to look at things that way in a more simple and peaceful manner, to release the need for everything to work properly and accept the imperfection as something which is an integral part of ourselves, and yet, still do what we can with devotion and with sacrifice – giving and service to others, without forgetting our own personal maintenance.
At this time we should also take care of our health, physical and mental. The body will respond directly to situations in which we were making too much effort and overdoing thing, which can create more stress on our nervous system, or to loosing the balance mentally and spiritually. This can be expressed in fears that arise and overwhelm us emotionally or with some inability to deal with reality as it is, with incomprehensible gap between feeling elevated and pain and suffering on earth. This is the time to take a few days off, trying to release all that brings with it stress and restlessness, and simply relax and take care of ourselves, find a place where we can retreat and look deeper. You might feel that there is something in the process that confronts you or bring some frustration that is related to an open wound. This reflects a need to give up something in our lives, to sacrifice, so that we can transform and heal ourselves.
When things are synchronized, we can know and feel that something big is about to be revealed to us. Something wonderful and magical, perhaps bewitched. This is the magic of Pisces. It takes us from one reality to another and make the connection between the different dimensions without strain. Everything has its own logic, even what doesn’t make sense. It’s the order within the chaos.
How do we know that everything will be fine in all the chaos and uncertainty around us and within us? When life is leading us step by step, on the way we can recognize and see the signs revealed to us and help us to connect all the dotes. This is a test of our faith in the process without having to be in control of any part of it. So we can understand the natural laws of the cosmos rather than get lost in the thicket of it.
The Sabian symbol for the eclipse degree ( 19 Pisces): “Master and pupil commune in strength in a long walk” (Dane Rudhyar)
At this time we have the ability to be initiated for knowledge and make a new connection with the Master within us. It requires of us great faith in our own way, and our inner strength is needed here to go through this powerful process, opening up something that sometimes can cause a bit of a shock to the system. But this way only when we learn to make ourselves masters, receive and contain the knowledge given to us and teach others, we learn to see the strength and power within us. The “Long walk” means commitment (Saturn) and perseverance along the path, even when there are many hidden things or challenges for us us.
