The Solar eclipse of July 2010 is arrived. The Lunar eclipse was a few short, but whoa! intense, weeks ago. The time between these potent eclipses could have you feeling sandwiched precariously between a veritable rock and a hard place. This scrumptious, inviting photo of high mountain columbines is to remind you that in trying times of transition and flux nothing soothes a racing heart like a walk in the woods.

If you’re urban go to your local botanical gardens and those of us fortunate to be by wilderness, get into it! Release your worries and cares to the trees and flowers. Relish their loveliness and remember you too are of Nature and you too have a season. What season are you in of your life?
Whatever it may be, enjoy it, as it is yours.

Eclipses are times when the magical portal of all that could be becomes possible. Patterns of energy are disrupted so new patterns of thought (thought creates reality) are able to make it through to us here on Earth. And don’t we need some new thought patterns right about now?! Think of this eclipse as a COSMIC UPGRADE to our systems.

As this New Moon eclipse is in the sign of Cancer let’s take a look at Cancer energy. The Moon rules the sign of Cancer, the constellation of the essential female nurturing principle. In Cancer are all the archetypes of the Divine Mother energy. And what will the Divine Mother not yield to support and nurture?
As we each reclaim the Divine Feminine in ourselves, shifting away from the masculine imperative TO DO to the feminine imperative of BEING and RECEIVING, we create the template for the balance that is so desperately needed. The Divine Feminine does not say do nothing, the Divine Feminine reminds us that every action has a consequence so action is to be taken not impulsively but with consideration for the effects to the greater family to which we ALL belong.

Cancer is directly connected to FEELINGS. What FEELS right? What FEELS not right? Choices made IN BALANCE with the directions of the mind and the imperative of the heart just FEEL RIGHT.
Take some time this New Moon eclipse to test how much you follow your feelings and how much your mind dominates your choices. When the mind dominates you’ll hear “shoulds”. Shoulds are born in the mind. Action in alignment with feelings feel right and never feel like “shoulds”.

Cancer is the nesting instinct and ideas of security. Are you putting your faith in something real and true or something fleeting? What makes you feel secure? Are you inviting more of that into your life?
