Partial Solar Eclipse: separation of wills
Every six months, the Moon passes in front of the Sun, obscuring its disc momentarily and creating a shaded area on the surface of Earth. Sometimes, as in the case of the eclipse of October 23rd, 2014, the Moon only partially hides the face of the Sun, due to a difference in their declination: they are not close enough, as seen from Earth, to make their disks match one above the other. When the Moon completely obscures the Sun's disk, they are symbolically unified in order to start their new cycle, both emphasizing one or another issue in our lives. These issues are deducted from the celestial objects that they are aligned.with.
However, in a partial solar eclipse, the Sun and Moon are separate: a total agreement is not possible, their wills are separate.
Thus, in the period of six months following any partial solar eclipse, it is expected that the concept of separation will dominate the general atmosphere. If this means separation from harmful elements in our lives, both personally and collectively, we can consider this trend positive. But it is clear that in many cases this trend will represent difficulties to agree. In any case, we will have to face them and solve them as individuals as well as collectively.. The Sun represents governments, the executive powers and ideals who lead an entire nation. The Moon in turn, represents the people and the masses, the collective consciousness. More than
ever, in these turbulent times, the government/people divergence can be deepened.
The eclipse as a trigger for the Uranus / Pluto square
We must remember that, since the year 2011 and until 2015, humanity
has been experiencing the difficult process of the Uranus/Pluto square, which intensifies and dramatizes the cultural revolutionary trend whose cycle began in 1965/1966, with the conjunction of these two planets. The
atmosphere is loaded with gunpowder and just a spark is needed to make
the bomb explode. In these circumstances, the Sun's partial eclipse
today, with its tendency to separation and dissent, is likely to trigger radical changes in the history of mankind. But from that painful confrontation new
social trends may arise, those that will prevail during the coming decades.
The eclipse occurs in very close conjunction with Venus, a planet
that represents social ties. The separation might be between
the masses and their governments, but apparently, and judging by the
mass demonstrations in the days before the eclipse, Venus is a strong connecting factor between people. The trend indicates that people will unite their wills in disagreement with governments. This does not mean that all countries will experience this situation, but it stands to reason that the most unstable ones, socially speaking, will do.
A regenerative and unifying effect
It will certainly be an interesting semester. Besides social change, we can also accelerate our individual growth and "dissent" from the harmful elements that exist in our lives. The eclipse, in this regard, favors detachment of situations, people, ideas, processes not allowing us to
evolve. If we do so, it is possible that the semester will end up being
interesting and regenerative. Resistance to release destructive factors can generate much stress and strong internal crisis. The best would be to cooperate with this atmosphere of change and release what is hurting us. Moreover, the eclipse falls on the first degree of the zodiac sign of Scorpio, famous because of its archetypal meaning of regeneration, death and
resurrection.
However, the eclipse is aligned in contra parallel to galaxy M95, a spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo. This galaxy is characterized by its fertility: it has a ring around its core in which there are numerous, recently
formed, star clusters. A star cluster is like a family, representing a particular social trend, and having several clusters organized around a ring suggests the sum of different wills for the same goal. That is, on one hand, we have the partial solar eclipse, with its divergence and confrontation, and secondly, we have a unique opportunity to unify our wills towards a common goal. It would be wonderful ifwe could take advantage of this eclipse in order to fight climate change, diseases (Ebola!), pollution, animal cruelty, war, hunger, discrimination and the many ills that afflict humanity. Since M95 is highly productive, we may expect some concrete results, not just protests and discussions.
The birth of new ideals and myths
This solar eclipse carries, however, a highly ideological trend, too.
We can see this in the eclipse's opposition to star cluster M52. This cluster, which is in the constellation Cassiopeia, is characterized by a majority of B-type stars, which strongly emphasize idealism. However, it is not a deeply rooted one, as we are not dealing with traditions.. M52 is very young: it is only 35 million years old, which in cosmic terms is only a baby. Hence, it represents fresh thoughts and new, emerging ideals, which of course, are loaded with energy and a tendency to grow, just like a baby. As these trends emerge, it is not yet possible for us to define them or to reflect
objectively about then. The trend is to follow the tide in a somewhat thoughtless and impulsive way, just as a baby would. Therefore, we can also expect excesses, fanaticism, exaggerations and inconsistencies in this process.
What we are witnessing, by the effects of the eclipse/M52 combination is the emergence of new myths. And myths arise from historical facts, so we can expect that many of the events that occur in the following months in various parts of the world will be most significant. Their importance is not fleeting, but actually rooted in cultural life and the collective unconscious of nations... or maybe the world as a whole, as we are living in globalization times. M52 has also a peculiar star of type Of, which has an extremely high temperature, corresponding to the highest ideals of a person/nation: spiritual, political and scientific.
In a positive sense, this represents new discoveries and new technologies (yes, more than in recent years), the radicalization of religion, the strength of true spirituality, and the intensification of political/social
ideals that guide nations. This analysis may sound idealistic, but that is the nature of this eclipse. And we already know that, thanks to M95, this eclipse can give some tangible results. Humanity needs them urgently, the planet needs them urgently.
Personal and collective progress
In this way, the partial solar eclipse will show, in the 2014/2015 transition, the emergence of new paradigms for humanity which will have a significant weight on the following decades. Of course, it will take more than just one semester or one partial solar eclipse to fully digest and understand all this intensity. But, amid the present crisis of our civilization, iwe may have the strength to move into an evolutionary path, even if the process is dramatic at times. Personally, we can make a positive, conscious effort, striving to let go of what is hurting us. We must allow contradictions manifest within us, in order to transcend them, working on them during the following six months. If we solve these contradictions within ourselves, this will have an effect on the collective, as we are all comstituent cells of a whole society. And it seems that many of these individual cells are starting to awake, motivated by a refreshing idealism.Let's give it a constructive meaning in our reality, caring for the environment!
Mother Earth will be most thankful.
Thanks in advance!
