Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
Today we experience the magic of the full moon lunar eclipse in Pisces. Ruled by Jupiter, this nakshatra (PURVA BHADRAPADA) reminds us to let go. This is a beautiful time for letting go of old patterns, habits, beliefs, blockages or relationship patterns that create blockage. This particular time is connected to spiritual awakening, contemplation and transformation. As there is duality in all things, the energy of this cycle brings destruction (the ability to release what is not in service to us now) and evolvement (intentional creation of new and lasting patterns).
Allow this time to push you towards tapping in to self, recognizing your personal needs and opportunities, and not being afraid to release, with love and gratitude of course, what no longer suits your Highest Self. We each contain a deep inner wisdom and with the intense emotions that can come with eclipse season, this is a beautiful time for recognizing the parts of you that you just no longer want to lug around. Allowing the rhythms of nature to guide this process and inviting this energy to flow through you may be exactly what is needed to dislodge some of the old, stuck junk!
A funeral cot, the symbol of Purva Bhadrapada, reminds us that this life is temporary and that the things holding us down (or causing overwhelm, fear, stress) could be getting in the way of living our true purpose and ability to bask in the beauty of all that surrounds us. Eclipses are a time for tapping into our inner wisdom, communing with self, and embracing the silence. Think of yourself as zooming out, looking past the day to day stressors and expectations and utilizing this time to see the bigger picture of self, your ambitions, and tuning into a higher version of yourself. This isn’t a place we need to stay often but visiting it with the energy of the eclipse can go a long ways in gaining perspective.
Pay attention - are your dreams guiding you? Is your intuition sneaking into daily life, attempting to speak truths to you?
Be in your courage, your trust, your flow. There is no need to act, now is the time for listening. Seek shelter in your own truths and self-awareness and allow what will be, to be.
