Solar Eclipse Season & Life Lessons:
Sometimes the bravest thing that you can do is to trust the universe
New Moon. New eclipse cycle. New start. New insights. The New Action is Non-action.
New moons, usually usher in a time to plant seeds, set intentions, begin projects, to forge forward, and to start to act, but the best thing you can do this solar eclipse new moon in Aries (boy! what a mouthful!) is to pause.
But this auspicious new moon, will be a powerful catalyst to reveal where, what and how to create and manifest for the next 18 months, as this is a new eclipses season of the Libra – Aries cycle that will last into it until 2025. Not only that, but it is very rare to have a second new moon in Aries, and, at the same time have a the first fire sign in an eclipse since 2015. If I was a betting man, I would bet that some big changes will happen. Best thing to do? Sit back and see what happens.
The eclipse cycles set things in motion in motion for the next 6–18 months. during this time, you maybe highly aware of the changes and improvements that you need to make in your life. The cycles can bring opportunities, good tidings, and inpredicted cicumstances that may catch you off guard. These possibilities may only be revealed during and after the actual eclipse.
During a solar eclipse the sun, moon, and earth move into alignment. The moon is thus positioned between the sun and the earth casting a shadow that blocks the sun’s rays for a brief period.
The sun (and its energy) represents our vital life force and when it is blocked, we -for short period- must come to grips with that which has been lurking in the shadows, with that which is true even in the darkness, with that which supports us – even when we have lost our way.
It’s a vital time when we are asked if we are truly living our lives on purpose. The answer is often divulged in not what we see, but what we feel and know as true.
This is where our faith comes from. How this is answered will enlighten us to whether our faith is serving our highest good. It is also where we can investigate our belief systems, how they were formed, and if our beliefs are supporting us or if change is needed.
Eclipse brings the out most important matters, both good and bad, into the light so they can truly be praised or reckoned with.
For this short period, life may get distorted or “dark” andwe may not feel normal until the eclipse has passed (truly 48 hours: 24 hours before, and 24 hours after)
But what can emerge is where we are strongest, and/ or where we need the most support and help; where we need to change directions. In fact, many opportunities arrive during an eclipse that we had no way of knowing about or seeing beforehand.
Solar eclipses can initiate a time for change and growth. They compel us to learn from our past experiences and as we integrate those lessons, we begin to further evolve, moving and ascending upwards.
With this solar eclipse being in Aries, we are going to be pulled to take action to move towards our goals, to be brave, assertive and courageous. Yet we going to have to fight these tendencies or inclinations as the ecsilpse reminds us that nonaction is action.
Advancing is possible and yet -at this time- we need to stop and progress slowly after eclipse. in this moemnt, at this time, we need to just sit back and observe.
Fresh starts will be happening but without mindful reflections of where we’ve been, we are likely to repeat the past.
If we want to make strides towards our desires we need to move with compassion.
Eclipses teaches us the life lessons in abrupt and powerful ways.
We can learn valuable lessons from them:
° Being brave means asking for help.
°Patience is concentrated strength.
° Silence speaks loudest.
° Kindness is the light that dissolves all the walls between souls, families and nations” Paramahansa Yogananda
And my very favorite:
° Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is trust to the universe

Discover Your Inner Wisdom: A Beginner’s Guide to Intuition and Feeling Your Vibes
In astrological terms, this is the start of a new year. We go from the heavenly and spiritual energy of Pisces; the slow watery sign that dreams and imagines, that is not so tied to this earthly plane as it is to the next, and lives half beyond the veil, to the Aries’ abrupt, rising, warrior energy.
Most of the ancient and modern astrologers agree that the year’s wheel is a metaphor to the lifecycle. We start out as babies with the high intensive energy of Aries, and make our way until we are in our later years (i.e. months) with the ending of the year in the wise, twinkling and elder spirit of Pisces.
The Aries temperament is similar to a young child’s in that it is fresh and vibrant, it has no fear, it goes after what it wants, it cries when it doesn’t get it -but- gets right back up again! This temperament may get angry, however, Aries has taught us to use that anger for production, and never to hold onto it.
…There are various other cultures and traditions that attach characteristics, emotions, energy, colors, and, even, taste and sounds to these transitional times. But, the majority would agree that this is the most impactful time of year, full of metamorphoses and change: the time leaving winter and entering spring. The opposition of these two seasonal energies create a vortex of possibilities in each of our lives…

“Find Your Why and You Will Find Your Way”
It’s so important to KNOW without a shadow of a doubt what FILLS YOUR CUP and keeps your heart smiling, even when stress is out of control and sh*t hits the fan. It’s times like these , we get thrown off track, get hit from the side, lose the wind from our sails. Too many of these blows, can knock us down for the count. But there is always a way to get back up. And sometimes that means finding your true north, seeing what is important and going the distance. Getting back up means getting in touch with your ‘WHY’

2022 taught me a lot. It was tougher than I thought it would be , wasn’t it?? After all we’d been through in 2020 & 2021 most of us thought 2022 would be a walk in the park. But honestly- I don’t know anyone who felt that was.
The world was maybe only very slightly calmer- at least from my perspective- but my inner landscape was vexed. Things came up , situations changed, and topsy -turvy feelings became the norm. And this was the universal sentiment that seemed to rock our worlds- both outer and inner but mostly the former.
There were some larger energetic shifts that impacted us all,but, regardless of that, we all felt the awareness that there was still work to be done. This made me realize: sometimes things happen at their own speed, in their own due time. I am not in control, even as much as I wish I was, or as much as I try working hard to be. I can’t force anything- life can change and impact us -on a macro or micro scale – at any moment. It just is what it is….
And now I truly get that. My son having difficulties has really shown me how we can’t force things to happen. He is going at his own pace, not one imposed upon by me. He is doing the best he can. All I can do is pray, set intentions and ask for help when I need it. BUT I can’t force him on any level to go any faster to do any “better” even though my WILL, my ego might want him to.I need to be in the FLOW. The flow of my outer life and unexpected circumstances that may arise, as well as my inner life- flowing with my feelings, thoughts, passions and purpose- as well as my shadow side.

What do Geraldo, Poop, the iPhone & Meditation have in Common?
Our thoughts are a function of our brain. Some thoughts are good and useful to us, and some are not. WE are the LISTENER of our thoughts. I know this is a bit confusing but here’s the deal -we hear our thoughts. We are our consciousness – we are our soul- we are our inner knowing but we are not our thoughts – they are only a function of our brain.
