Aries Solar Eclipse & Neptune
In a period of melting icebergs and flooded townships, the Solar Eclipse in Aries rallies the troops to make something new from the residue of what is left after the tides of time have washed much away.
Our individual forms of Forging Ahead call for bravery from within and the willingness to stand solo when need be, to defend and protect our right to be and become.
Neptune adds an extra weapon for Aries energy now. The ability to energetically remove our attention from the unwanted and to dissolve attachment to fear. Going with the flow can be a smart move, but knowing when to fight the tide is true wisdom.
Forgiving ourselves for things we have had a hand in, for parts we have played, for battles we waged - from both lighting the match that caused the first blaze, to attacking first and paying the price later. And grace and compassion, empathy for the wars we stumbled into and become the unwitting wounded.
In many ways, victims (Neptune) are themselves a weapon (Aries) now - the underdogs and the forsaken , the overshadowed and the disenfranchised, the deceived and the controlled .
For they have the pure desire and drive of both heart and soul, the fire to not fear losing anything for much they have wanted and love has been taken or never allowed to be found, and that has purified their sense of spiritual mission.
Feelings can be weaponized - grief can be used to fuel anger or war rhetoric now. Lies too. Spirituality can be used, for better or worse.
Where you have been a victim you are now a warrior, able to fight on behalf of yourself and others helping free them - or spare them from ever experiencing what you have.
We need a boost of confidence and energy, and the assertiveness to push ourselves forth. A new beginning and chapter, in some form and fashion. That’s what this Eclipse heralds.
It ushers in a surge, a zap, a push to move us ahead. No use lingering or loitering. No point in bemoaning our fate, or stalling our self-development. Like it or not (and chances are we’ll end up liking it, in the end), this chapter helps us regain a foothold in our own lives and bodies.
The Eclipse is ruled by Mars in Cancer, suggesting we may have to fight our typical tendencies, engrained habits defensive strategies, and possibly our own family ancestry, in order to break free into new terrain.
Through experiences that force us to face what we do not wish to be, we are offered perspective, so that we may choose another possible path. Not to set up and stage conflicts between Me and Them, although these serve the same purpose, but to help us become more of what we choose by seeing others play out parts we do not wish.
No matter what others are or are not doing, this Eclipse forces us to fall back on ourselves and to face Our Part in it.
What will we choose to contribute, what will we offer, in the way of Action or Reaction, ideas, inspiration, focus or feeling? What we Do - and the battles we Choose to engage in, have an enormous impact on our individual and collective destinies.
Everyone fights their own internal fight at this time - do you engage or retreat, face off or take off, attack or protect? Do or Don’t? Steps can be more clearly taken now, that lead to fresher fields of experience.
All you’ll be left with, is how you feel about your Decision.
