It is time to wake up from a deep sleep.
As this new moon eclipse has closed the tunnel that opened on September 17th, it has reopened the gates for us to get out but boy/girl has everything changed. Eclipses are like a time outside of time. A literal womb for whatever period we are going through as a collective ushering us into a portals. These portals are like a washing machine to our frequency, an upgrade, a plot twist to the story that we were just starting to get used to. Once finished, it opens the gates “back to the timeline”. The trick is, there isn’t any going back.
The timeline has changed because you have changed on an energetic level and now is the time to embody. The eclipse started in Pisces - the healer, empath, the giver to all living beings no matter what.
The healthy version of Pisces is the one who feels their own feelings to be able to truly recognize them in another hence becoming the empath. The healer energy of Pisces also asks for their own wounds to be sat with so that their gifts of real healing or holding space to another get activated.
However, full moon eclipse illuminate the shadow of a sign. So if you are wondering why love to all may not have been the theme in our world is because the shadow side of this sign is “the victim”: the one who is always caught up in their victimization as means to control another or as leverage to manipulate another. Another shadow side of Pisces is “the savior”. Usually the constant self-victimization can enable “the savior”. They are both ways to control. And just before I go into what the eclipse has activated and what is currently leaving us with, let me explain what a shadow of a horoscope or a sign means.
Every horoscope has a shadow side. This literally means a repressed part of the self. When that layer is rejected or pushed away or denied for any reason, it grows and attracts its opposite.
A collective womb to reflect, feel and therefore heal.
This eclipse was also co-creating with strong Neptune aspect hence adding an even more heightened “back to the womb” reflections for all (each in their own way). This heightens confusion, brings out dormant wounds to be felt and can feel rather heavy. To some, this can add bringing the original vision, connecting to God/universe, redefining our connection to grief, loss and therefore bringing about a new approach on life. One thing is clear and that is we will be experiencing unclarity. It isn’t by mistake but rather by design.
Now, before we go into where the eclipse “exited” and the core of that message, let us get inspired with ways on working with the medicine of such energies:
How can I align with such energies?
See where in your life you have been playing the part of, identifying with and therefore enslaved by:
Savior Complex/Control: See where in your life you’ve enabled your tendencies to do thing in the place of another person. What this means at the core is: not trusting another in whatever choice they make. Don’t confuse this with not caring or not asking if you can give an advice with permission. This only means to see and to - even when giving an opinion - to release the choice and free will back to the person. See where in your life you’re controlling by “giving” or “healing” where you end up carrying the weight of others or the external world on your shoulders.
Self-Victimization: See where in your life you have been consumed by the thought that you are victim. This doesn’t mean that if you have been victimized not to feel the feelings or seek assistance. This is about ones who wear this as an identity therefore ditching the creator within them or absolutely degrading their power and their center.
Denial/Illusion: Check to notice where you’ve decided to escape truth. Maybe you’ve been telling yourself a lie and ended up believing it. Or maybe there is a place where it is time to speak your truth to yourself. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it must be share with another. With the Libra New Moon where this eclipse has closed the tunnel, this couldn’t be more true. Dream the dreams infinitely and discern between those and an illusion that the mind designed to escape a present truth. See where you have escaped into denial by using substances, sex, overthinking, overdoing, projecting or numbing.
Separation: Look within to identify where you may have used culture, society, religion or any subgroup to deepen the feeling of separation from any other human or living being.
As you navigate these illuminations, remember, this may not be the time of clarity. This is rather the period to heal and that requires sitting “in the shit” that we have created on individual level and therefore contributing to healing the collective.
Remember, all collective astrology cycles such as eclipse are for the whole as a nuance or overall theme. However, each of us may fully feel it as is (and sometimes feel the total opposite because we alway check the opposite when working with astrology. For instance, instead of confusion, one might currently feel reconnected to their dreams more than ever). However, each of us may fully feel it exactly as is or not depending on their personal astrology cycle. Those can be discovered through an individual astrology chart reading. Check your chart or book a reading with me to dive in further into your more specific medicine during this time.
Echoing the Libra Eclipse Exit Point
As the eclipse tunnel exited on a Libra theme, it has seeded the intention of balance, relationship with self and other, communication to include everyone “equally” and peace. It is ironic to me personally in these times to speak of peace as my birth country Lebanon is being destroyed to pieces. However, this has deepened my further inquiry into “peace” and the myth of what is mostly thought to be its opposite - war. I can’t help but see that talks of peace have been bringing about war. So maybe, it is time for us to break that correlation.
The black sheep, the unexpected, natural disasters, eruptions and rebellions.
The planet that moves the center of any status quo - Uranus - is in retrograde till January 2025. Uranus is the planetary aspect that brings things out of left field therefore shifting the assemblage point or the center that a specific timeline has been rotating around. This gives the illusion of having no center. Whereas in truth unexpected change happened to fast that the mind is playing catch up and trying to find ground. That change requires an ego death. The process is never easy because an entire identity must dissolve for it to happen. Our thoughts, beliefs, actions, connections, stories, storylines and actions must change.
Back to Libra who can show us where we have lied to ourselves. In order to keep the peace, many choose to lie to another or the self therefore creating a conflict within. On a collective level, this conflict gets created externally because the time has come to speak personal truth and respect another’s truth equally. Truth isn’t by shutting another but rather by seeing that we all have equal roles to play on the wheel of life.
More on Uranus Retrograde and ow it isn’t a personal planet “doing things because we deserve it or some karmic debt”. It is an impersonal planet that just is like the breeze that turns into a tornado not because of a personal agenda but because it just is.
