Eclipses are thresholds stirring duality to initiate change. Eclipses take us from the surface waves that are choppy and allow us to drop in deeper within, even if at first to take us into confusion.
The Sun and Moon, the two luminaries, are our light bodies, the givers of light. Yogically, they reside in our third eye chakra, while Rahu and Ketu represent the ascending and descending kundalini. This is why, at eclipse time, we experience a greater concentration of energy when these forces align. The energy within us becomes aroused, intestified making eclipses a great time of transformation as our karma accelerates, and we can burn through things faster.
This eclipse in Aquarius occurs in Dhanishta, a star of timing and the mastery of flow. It initiates a period of tremendous momentum, offering unimaginable changes that can set us free, a time when we can dissolve the past.
Five planets involved in the eclipse weigh down Aquarius and are flanked by exalted Mars in Capricorn and Saturn in Pisces, forming a Papakartari yoga indicating an intensity with breaking from the past. Venus and Rahu will be in exact degree, a conjunction indicating strong emotional or material wants, confusion around handling material resources, and obsessive feelings that come from difficulty seeing situations clearly. Mars is nearing its powerful degree of maximum exaltation in Capricorn, bringing a disciplined ambition to see things through to completion. Jupiter casts his glance on the eclipse and offers wisdom to guide us through.
Aquarius always inspires transformation within society, bringing a lot of intensity. As the natural 11th house of gains and 11 Rudras, this eclipse invites us to confront our dark sides, indicating in this eclipse period, there's just enough frustration to change what we've wanted to change for a long time, though with considerable volatility too.
Solar eclipses expose that which has been hidden from view and set the tone for the next six months. Pay attention to where Aquarius sits in your chart.
Be very steady, unreachable by the surface turmoil and the distractions it brings. Take care of your nervous system, as it is the home of the mind. Eat light and remember you are electric light
With infinite love and affection,
Siriprakash
