Total Solar Eclipse: The Power to Love Your Fear

What you don’t have eyes to see, will make itself known; the past is always close behind! Beware of a fixation for the future that ignores what brought you to where you are now. The Lunar eclipse on the 18th and 19th brought us in the direction of what we desperately want to achieve in this world and now we must look where we do not necessarily want to, to see what is keeping us back. While the Full Moon in the lunar eclipse was exalted in Taurus, this Scorpio Moon is not only dark but in its sign of debilitation, where the overwhelm of emotions can be like a rollercoaster. We are deep in the trenches of our past karma, navigating the shadows of our oldest fears and traumas. The call we are hearing is to shine the light (the Sun) into the dark recesses of our psyche and allow our biggest fears to surface. Once they are out in the light of day, we can see them for what they truly are…sometimes just as horrible as we imagined, and often, way less monstrous than we configured them in our brain. Now is the time to be willing to look. We spend so much time bypassing or gaslighting our own experiences, or those of our ancestors, it is no wonder that this is so common a practice in society towards others. What we have experienced, done or had done to us, is real and deserves its moment in the light to be acknowledged. Let it be understood and then with empathy, recycle it back into your being with more clarity and a capacity to move forward in the direction of your dreams.

The Total Solar Eclipse in sidereal Scorpio is December 3rd & 4th (max point is 9:33 pm HT on 12/3, 11:33 pm 12/3 PST) is only completely visible from Antartica, and parts of Southern Africa will see a partial eclipse but the effects will certainly be felt by all! The Sun is our consciousness, power, authority, the father and the government. It is one of the indicators of career (along with Saturn) and it rules whatever house Leo is in your chart. This area of your life will be eclipsed, blacked out and then reset in this time. The Sun, Moon and Mercury are all going to be in Jyestha, the eldest of the nakshtara wives of the Moon. Here we have courage, but also have to beware of our ego getting us into situations where we really have to test that courage! Jyestha is ruled by Indra, the king of the gods and is represented by a talisman, a mystical armor offering protection as well as the power of illusion. Indra is known for using the powers of illusion through his invisible net and his lightning bolt which has been fashioned by the divine architect of the gods. Ketu, the South node is a space in the sky that only becomes visible in an eclipse (just like Rahu, the north node was in the lunar eclipse). It is a fiery laser precise Graha that goes deep down into the well spring of fire and water that is Scorpio and pin points the exact place where our karma is still stuck. Here it is at home, in its sign of depth and intelligence. Specifically it is in the star of Anuradha, where devotion is key. Here we pass through the portal of our deepest fears through deep love and faith. We will never be able to foretell the consequences of our actions or the rewards, our only choice lies in our one-pointed devotion to love and complete surrender. Ketu will show us where we have an obstacle to this trust and love from our past.

At 2:43 pm HT (4:43 pm PST) on December 4th, hours after the eclipse, Mars marches into his own sign of Scorpio to make absolutely sure we are facing whatever we have been avoiding! While he stays out during the eclipse itself, and has moved out of combustion (proximity to the Sun) earlier in the week, he is going to ensure that we do not move out of December without winning this battle within ourselves. Mars and Ketu together are militant, exacting, surgical and fiery! Both distance us from others and our feelings and are ultimately strengthening us through the pain they inflict on both us and others, but they do it in different ways. Mars is physical and Ketu is psychological. Scorpio is the realm of the emotions. This is fire exploding through water. We will see this alignment implode in social and perhaps even geological ways, but within ourselves it is our deep-seeded anger surfacing through the emotions and coming up to get some air! Whatever house Scorpio is in your chart is likely to be shaken by this, especially as the two Grahas are exact on the 14th and 15th of December.  Take a deep breath, try to maintain your sadhana (daily practices), and ultimately accept that you must surrender into the waves but will eventually make it back to shore with a renewed vitality that only comes from facing a kind of death.
