Saturday’s Fiery, Optimistic Solar Eclipse

“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
Where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.”
-Rumi

The wind is at our backs with the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius on Dec 4. Sagittarius is the sign of the higher mind and  big picture thinking. This Eclipse opens a window on an optimistic time and bodes well for exploring opportunities for future growth and expansion. With appropriate planning there is the likelihood of accomplishing something now that at other times may have not seemed doable.

The Eclipse aligns positively with both Mercury and Saturn bringing clarity of thought and a stabilizing influence. In aligning with Uranus it  gives the ability to cut ties with things that have been  holding us back.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A vast panorama of sand and time is unfolding; the pyramids and sphinx rise before the eye.”

Neptune Stations Direct and Mercury Aligns with Uranus

“I grew up in the patterned silence
In the cool nursery of the young century
And people’s voices were not dear to me
But I could understand the voice of the wind.” Anna Akhmatova

“I believe deeply that we must find, all of us together, a new spirituality.” Dalai Lama

Neptune stations direct today – Wednesday December 1. The veils between the worlds are very thin for the next couple of days as this ethereal planet starts to move forward. The Neptune station bodes well for spiritual and artistic endeavors but it’s best if possible to put off  serious decisions until after the Eclipse. It’s a good time to clear a path for the new dreams and visions of your life.

Neptune is in the mystical sign of Pisces and at other times in history when this was the case there was an increased interest in spirituality and  growth of spiritual awareness on the planet.

Neptune rules illusion and addiction but it also governs redemption. If  necessary it’s a good time to  consider where it would be best to to take off the rose colored glasses or work to end the repetition of unproductive habits that have an addictive nature to them.

Mercury and Uranus are aligning indicating that for the next few days important information can emerge or there can be “out of the blue” revelations or  breakthroughs in thinking.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A prophet bringing down the new law from the mountain.”
