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

That Summer Feeling~ June, Hormones, Sunshine and Heart-to-Hearts
June is a slip into summer……New scientific research has even discovered that different hormones peak during different seasons. Our reproduction hormones tend to peak late winter into spring. Move over birdie! Moreover, our serotonin levels are also elevated during the summer months with more exposure to sun light. With this higher dose, we can feel more confident in our skin, more able to open up and share with others. This hormone also creates feelings of loyalty, which may engender trust and open honesty. Hormonal changes such as these can increase our desire to connect with others. Biologically, we are social creatures and it is vital to our survival, our health and our well-being, to have solid connections with a close, core group of people in which we can allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with.
‘You Must Believe In Spring…’
“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” Anais Nin. The Cycle begins again… Birth. Emergence. Becoming. Newness. Freshness. Blooming. Budding. Moving. Ascending.
For many decades now, I have come to live in harmony with natures seasonal changes and create rituals around them. I suppose my interest started at first as a child because I was always very observant to nature and what was happening in my outside world. Now, even the years that I am not quite as attentive, I still feel a buzzing in my body come late March that continues through to June. To me this sensation is spring….
….Think of the sort of “anger” one has when playing a sport, or the “anger” one has when playing a game, or the burning sensation that one might feel when a highly valued project or endeavor hits an avalanche of an obstacle. It’s the sensation of being so alive and so on fire that only a blood curdling cry can truly demonstrate the depth (like the NZ Maori’s war dance, the Haka). It’s that kind of anger that runs rampant during these spring months. If this anger is felt and understood and then, most importantly, let go of, it is useful in allowing us to forge ahead. It gives us resilience and strength despite our possible uphill battles. However, if this anger is nurtured and feed, it can become a noose around our necks and follow us everywhere we go. Not relinquishing its hold can poison even the most tender of moments, even the sweetest of relationships…..
Surrender, Surrender But Don’t Give Yourself Away…
We both started to panic. I was probably the weaker swimmer, but my friend was a bit further out then I. She started to yell for me,” Can you come and help me?!?” As I looked back, I realized I was using all my strength just to stay put, my heart started racing and I started to panic, as she clearly was as well.
I yelled to her to just go with the tide and I would try and get help… We both were literally in over our heads.
You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling
“Intimacy is being seen and known as the person you truly are.” Amy Bloom
Ever want that connection… but not THAT connection? And, doesn’t that sound so much more than sexy Victoria’s Secret lingerie? I mean, there’s nothing wrong with sexy, but sex and intimacy aren’t necessarily interdependent. And, for many people, it’s harder to be intimate WITHOUT the sexy part than WITH the sexy part. When the “private part” is one’s own vulnerability the stakes are higher than when the clothing comes off. It’s no wonder, then, that true intimacy is somewhat of a rarity.
After all, it’s hard to open up and allow someone else to see your tender underbelly. It’s frightening and creates anxiety; it brings up all kinds of stuff. However, if we can’t go “there”, the other stuff is just a roll in the hay which may be fun in the moment or a whole lot of regret down the road.
