Today, Sunday July 11, 2010 at 12:40 PM PDT, there is a major Solar Eclipse! Eclipses are always important turning points/stepping stones into a whole new level of reality, but this one brings unprecedented changes. It is truly about clear endings and exciting new beginnings.

We could have felt pretty spacey in the past few days, forgetting major appointments, having our head in a completely different place than what was required of us to keep our lives on track, we could have experienced body pains and headaches and alternatively increased and lowered energy levels... We were just already in tune with the huge shift of consciousness that is taking the planet by storm.

During the next few months (as that is as long as an eclipse lasts), our generosity toward others increases. We could be attracted to a whole new group of friends. We are more idealistic and committed to global humanitarian causes. Great fortune is likely to occur. Any endeavor related to corporate money, educational or religious institutions is beneficial. The sudden healing of an illness or an emotional situation that has been creating much grief, could unexpectedly happen as we let go of deep seated fears and old behavioral patterns that no longer serve us. An unplanned trip could help us realize long term dreams and completely transform our lives by opening us to a whole new understanding of what is truly important.

It may be interesting to remember what happened in our lives around July 11, 1991 and January 9, 2001 when there were eclipses very close to this eclipse at 19º24' Cancer. What we are now likely to experience is expanding on what happened then and during the few months that followed.

Love features prominently in this chart. We seek a relationship in which there is a strong soul connection. We could also find ourselves in emotional situations that bring to the surface very strong feelings enabling us to see our wounds and giving us the chance to heal them. We need passion and inspiration, and as we learn to balance romance and personal power, we experience the inner marriage of the feminine and the masculine within us, a joining of the Sun and the Earth inside our own being, which, in turn, makes us radiate more light and joy.

A whole new consciousness is replacing the way we used to think, making it look like we have reincarnated within this lifetime in  the same body. Events beyond our control, completely release us from the past allowing us to make completely new choices. We can finally free ourselves from old responsibilities and obligations which, all of a sudden, make no sense whatsoever. Even seemingly difficult circumstances, in the long run, make us stronger, more independent and creative in ways we couldn't have imagined had we not been pushed into the unknown.

And if, in the past few weeks, we have been feeling anxiety, a heaviness, an unrest, a sense of something vague and terrible that we about to wipe out the very foundation of our lives, let us take heart. Things look worst before they improve. The darkest hour is always before dawn. Everything that in our lives was guided by selfish motives or incomplete spiritual understanding, is now coming to the surface to be shifted and changed. This is our time of complete reinvention of everything we are so that we can express truly our divinity in our daily lives with integrity, love and passion.

To welcome this unusually powerful eclipse, it is recommended to start a fire ceremony at 12:35' PM PDT California time, a few minutes before the actual eclipse (if you are not free at this exact time, don't worry, you have 24 hrs to do your ceremony until noon PDT Monday, July 12).

If you don't have a garden or balcony, you can always take a pan, put a few scoops of epson salts, cover them with 90º rubbing alcohol and light a match. It will create a clean fire that won't last more than 5'-10' but that's enough if you are clear on what you want to release and what you want to bring into your life. Make a list for each, between now and Sunday July 11 noon PDT and find two little sticks in nature (or tooth picks).

When in front of your fire, with your first stick over your third eye, think of everything you want to release out of your life. When the emotion is really there, blow it three times into the stick before throwing it into the flames. Stay peaceful for a few moments and then (even if the previous stick hasn't fully burned yet), focus, with your 2nd stick against your third eye, on the list of what you want to bring into your life. Once the emotion of your own created future is clear, blow it three times into the stick and throw it into the fire to burn. Stay with your fire as long as you can, in peaceful meditation, focusing on light, love and abundance. Fires are always powerful amplifiers, and even more so during an eclipse. The resonance can be up to a million fold.... You will feel the power of this fire and how your intentions will forward you into manifesting the life you want.

In Loving Light.

Tomorrow morning at 4:30 AM PDT, at 4º46' Capricorn is an intense Lunar Eclipse. Eclipses always mark times of irrevocable change, shifting our lives to a whole new dimension.

This one is particularly unique as it could, through much discomfort, reveal difficult aspects of our lives that need transformation.

Blocks to intimacy and old conditioned emotional reactions could surface, giving us a chance to shift the past and recreate our love relationships in a much more harmonious way.

We could be drawn to either moving or completely remodeling our home. Daily habits could be understood more clearly and changed as needed.

We become very concerned with what feels right to us. We need to create for ourselves a level of security and inner peace to nurture ourselves and those we cherish. As we become aware of deeper thought and reactions, we give ourselves the chance to free ourselves from the past.

We could make decisions that change our lives a 180º. External events could suddenly and unexpectedly project us on a whole new path. New doors that we never suspected the existence of, could open. New opportunities present themselves to us. We are resolutely leaving what no longer serves us and embracing a much more expanded understanding of our own reality.

Our goals become much more clearly defined. We are able to focus with greater efficiency on what truly matters to us. New ideas could inspire us enabling us to create something new out of seemingly nothing.

We are very concerned with walking our talk. We need to integrate in our ordinary lives the spiritual principles we believe in. As we truly embody the divinity within, great healing for ourselves and the planet can occur.

It is a great idea, to, by June 27 at 4:30 AM create a fire ceremony, even with only a candle if you cannot do a big fire. Write on a piece of paper what you want to release from your life. Once burnt, burn another piece of paper with what you want to bring into your reality and expect a miracle as this eclipse will definitely amplify and accelerate whatever needs to shift to a whole new level in your life.

Uranus enters Aries:

- for the first time on May 27, 2010 (6:48 PM PST) until August 13 (8:30 PM) when it returns to Pisces for 7 months.

- It will enter again, this time for  good, on March 13, 2011 until May 16, 2018.

This is a huge cosmic event! We are freeing ourselves from the known, old conditionings, structures that no longer work for us, duties and obligations that have no further relevance. We could need to change scenery, travel, even move. A wish to unburden ourselves financially, could lead us to choose more simple and adventurous conditions of life. As we tap more profoundly into our inner resources and learn more about ourselves and the world we live in, we become the pioneers of new inventions and original ideas. A deep connection with our higher truth and a clearer understanding of our  psychic abilities bring intense consciousness breakthroughs, instantaneous  personal healing, as well as massive changes to the planet.

This is a time of revolutionary actions, enthusiasm and new inspiration. Humanitarian endeavors are exciting. We are concerned with the welfare of Mother Earth and the plight of animals. We actively seek  global causes committed to improving life in society. Never seen before technologies could start flourishing left and right. Major scientific and archeological discoveries could challenge everything we thought we knew about ourselves and our own history.

This 7 year period brings radical changes in every dimension of both our personal and collective life. It helps us  break free from what has held our individuality in bondage and placed a cover on the manifestation of our dreams. It revolutionizes the society we have known until now and shifts humanity to a whole new level of consciousness  revealing each of our own mastery.

As of this morning, Friday September 4 at 9:03 AM PDT (CA time), we have been blessed with a beautiful Full Moon in Pisces.

Compassion, art, creativity, mysticism, meditation, healing, channeling and dreaming... are all favored this coming month (until the next Full Moon in Aries on October 3). As we naturally experience oneness with the entirety of life and become acutely aware of our multi-dimensionality, we are able to access higher realms of consciousness effortlessly.

This Moon asks us to balance our dreams with our reality. This is a time to come into alignment with what our hearts dictate, no matter how crazy this may seem to those around us. If we have been staying in a job, a location or a relationship just out of a false sense of safety -or worse, fear of change!-, now is the time to fine tune our life circumstances with our true purpose. It is important that our souls soar freely. When we follow our intuition and take a leap of faith, we shall be amazed to realize that the universe supports us energetically, financially and emotionally is the most magical of ways.

This is a time to tap into our inner resources, brain storm with ourselves and like-spirited others, come up with new ideas for our businesses, our relationships, the places where we live and how we live. This is a time to go deeply into our thoughts and the ways we communicate. We are likely to find ourselves separating from -or avoiding- fear based, manipulative, egotistical individuals (they may also be serving a bigger plan by rejecting us!!!). Anger or turning away is sometimes the most appropriate response in the face of what threatens our integrity. We spontaneously X-ray situations and people. This enables us to detect the lies and realize that not all is what it seems. Intense discrimination is called for at this time!

We are regenerating at a cellular level which also means that we should be paying close attention to our diet. It is recommended that we eat the way Nature intended us to: fresh, raw, organic fruit, vegetables and sprouts, making sure we drink plenty of pure, energetic water, breathe deeply, exercise in harmony with our bodies (yoga, swimming, walking...) and sleep enough in an electronic-free, quiet bedroom. Our night visions should be particularly significant during this month as we literally dream our reality into being.

Now is the time to free ourselves from whatever has been blocking the flow of our higher self. If we ask for divine guidance with a pure heart, spontaneous healing can occur, the fulfillment of our highest purpose can take place and turmoil can be replaced by peace.

We are truly entering a month where the separation between what was and what is becoming is more and more visible. The gap between those who give faith to the collective subconscious promoting fear, scarcity and lack, and those who are become true masters of their own destinies by giving power to their divine self to create financial abundance, happiness and love, is deepening.

The question this Full Moon asks of all of us is: what reality are we choosing for ourselves?

In Loving Light.

We are now arriving at the last portal of this huge process of change that started in May 2009, through the solstice on June 20, the first Lunar eclipse on July 7 and the second solar eclipse on July 21.

Tomorrow's 3rd (and last) eclipse, on Wednesday August 5 at 5:55 PM PDT (+3 hrs on the East Coast...) will occur at 13º43' Aquarius.

In the course of these past few months, pretty much everything is likely to have changed in our lives. There could have been a new relationship, a move, a different career... The previous two eclipses asked us to restructure our reality and figure out what made us feel safe. Now the focus is on connecting with our true soul family and becoming clear on what role we want to create for ourselves in society.

We are resolutely moving into the new, keeping of the old only what still supports our growth. As we relate more intensely with like-spirited friends (our true soul-family), exciting, healing visions, ideas and projects are unraveling. As we share our spiritual and material resources, incredible new horizons are revealing themselves to us. We should be patient however, as what is in the process of being build could go through some delays and frustrations before the time is absolutely ripe for the new manifestations (within a month or two).

Our thoughts are deep and focused. We are able to X-ray situations we previously would have taken at face value. As our perceptions shift, we are now capable of separating reality form illusion. The awakening could be surprising indeed as we realize we were evolving in the shadow of what really was.

Our emotions are intense. We may now wish to only interact with people we feel connected to at a deep level. Superficial relationships just don't cut it anymore. We need to feel a profound sense of intimacy with the people in our lives and may be tempted to severe ties which prove too superficial or have already been outgrown.

To welcome this new eclipse which opens a whole new book in our lives, it may be a good idea to do a fire ceremony (with a candle or a pan with some epson salts and 90% rubbing alcohol) as close to 5:55 PM (Los Angeles time) as you can (but within 24 hrs will still work). Use a stick (small branch or toothpick) to let go with gratitude all that remains to be released of our past, and with another stick, bring in the unconditional love, unlimited wealth and huge happiness that is our divine right.

Enjoy this very special cosmic event!

In Loving Light.
