Guest guest Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN JULY 22/21 The Total Eclipse of the Sun on July 21/22 2009 (10:35 pm edt 7/21, 2:35 am gmt 7/22) has been called 'the most significant of the solar eclipse of the century' by astronomers. Astrologers believe this solar eclipse lasting over 6 and one half minutes will have influence for the next 6 and a half years according to the formula of Ptolemy. In addition to it's extreme duration, this eclipse is significant because it occurs at the cusp of Cancer and Leo, one of the 9 'Gates of Inspiration' in the year. Each Gate is identified with a Greek Muse, this one with Terpsichore, the Muse of Music and Dance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terpsichore. Perhaps related to this Muse is the mystical magical Mary Magdalene whose feast day also happens to be July 22nd. Whatever occurs at a New Moon has influence for the lunar month, whatever happens at a solar eclipse determines what will be until the next total solar eclipse (7/11/2010) and it will carry influence for many years to follow. A solar eclipse is Mother Nature's most powerful editing tool. When an eclipse occurs above, things are eclipsed / eliminated here below. Whatever needs eclipsing comes up in the days and weeks before a solar eclipse. An eclipse is an opportunity to eliminate patterns of thought and behavior that trouble our world. This is an ideal time to clear away what stands in the way of our dreams being realized. A solar eclipse is positively transformative as we learn to detach from what is breaking down and shift attention to what is breaking through. Energy bound in old forms is released to power dreams being realized. The more shadow patterns are released and transformed, the more energy is freed for a new creation. So continues the cycle of death and rebirth, destruction and re-creation. The world is ready for change and solar eclipses are all about change. A total eclipse of the Sun is an opportunity to change whatever we wish at the deepest level. All that's required is slowing down and going within where everything is wired. Change can be conscious, mostly it's unconscious. Each time a total eclipse of the Sun occurs, the whole world changes as the eclipse triggers a brief collective shutdown followed by a `reboot' to a new operating system. We don't want to be on the subway or in the air when this occurs (July 21/22). An energy shift happens with each New Moon. The Dark of the Moon (July 20-22) is a potentially dangerous time when the old emotional cycle is breaking down and our behavior can become erratic. This is especially so for a solar eclipse. More accidents happen now. Nine climbers died on K2 at the last solar eclipse on Aug 1, 2008, the Columbia space shuttle disaster occurred in the exact hour of a New Moon, and the London underground bombings happened in the Dark of the Moon. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are also more common before, during and following a solar eclipse. Shamans traditionally go inside and do inner work while the door is opened between worlds. This is a special time when we are downloading a new operating system. Everything shifts forward, life is charmed as the New Moon becomes visible, all things start anew - especially after a total eclipse of the Sun. How well we meet the opportunity of any lunar cycle depends on letting go of old ways and clearly sounding our new note as the crescent appears. A total solar eclipse breaks up old psychic patterns freeing energies for a new creation. The energies released by the eclipse re-constellate around any new purpose or initiative we bring forward during the waxing Moon (two weeks) following the eclipse. The Druids built fires and beat drums in the weeks after a solar eclipse. This wasn't done 'to bring back the Sun' as some believe, it was to restore the natural order and power on a new mythic story. " When old patterns are broken, new worlds emerge. " ~ Tuli Kupferberg Cosmic Calendar Total Eclipse of the Sun, July 21-22 (10:35 pm edt) – Seeding Magic Each New Moon is a cosmic spring, a source of `orenda,' or good luck. The spring flows freely as we relax and take time to go within. In most areas of the world this New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs on July 22, the Feast Day of Mary Magdalene. This `most powerful solar eclipse of the century' sets the tone of will be until the next total solar eclipse on July 11 2010. Terpsichore Gate of Inspiration, July 22 (12:36 pm - 12:36 pm 7/23edt / 4:36 pm - 4:36 pm 7/23 gmt), Open to Receive A Gate of Inspiration opens every 40 days beginning at the Spring Equinox. The 9 Gates of Inspiration are Stations of the 9 Muses. The July Muse is Terpsichore, `the lover of dancing.' Prior to a Gate of Inspiration, shadows arise to be dispelled. Whatever is blocking inspiration becomes revealed. Moving through the gate, we breathe deeply until we breathe freely, shedding all fears and doubts and so becoming present to the spiritual power and promise of the new time. The goal is to release all tensions from the body, tensions that hold outmoded ways of thinking and feeling. We breathe deeply, feel deeply, move freely to clear our way. As the gate opens, new light pours through with wonderful new possibilities, new inspiration, new creative energy. Crescent New Moon/ Venus/ Mercury, July 23-26 – Time to Sow These next few days following the appearance of the lunar crescent are ideal for starting a new business or staging a successful public event. It is time to share new opportunities, make announcements or bring new discoveries to light. Anything is possible. This Cancer / Leo Moon cycle brings great new opportunities for realizing hopes and dreams. These days are ideal for all new beginnings. This Moon tide will energize whatever we bring forward. Moon at the Equator / Lunar Zero Point South, July 25 (9:20 am edt/ 1:20 pm gmt) Lunar 0 Points are cosmic balance times ideal for creative imagination. 0 South is good for surrendering to spirit before entering the under world in quest for vision. The magic portal opens for two hours 8:20– 10:20 am on the U.S. East Coast. 1st Quarter Moon, July 28 (6:00 pm edt / 10 pm gmt) – Let Go the Old, Power On the New The First Quarter Moon is like a scythe cutting across the sky signaling a time for decision, a time to cut free of the past and affirm our true purpose. Inspirations may come in dreams or sudden realizations that help to solve problems and clarify life issues. Choices made now are likely to be the right ones. The 1st quarter Moon is like a scythe cutting across the sky. This is a time for decision, a time for cutting free from the old that is breaking down and commiting to the new that is coming through. The way is opened through meditation, music and dance celebration. " The Druids had a great number of feast days. The new and full moon and the sixth day (1st quarter) of the moon were sacred periods. " - The Secret Teachings of All Ages p 23, Manly P. Hall Lughnasa / Lammas / `White Rabbit Day', August 1 – Magical New Beginnings Say `White Rabbit' first thing today for good luck throughout the month. Rabbit opens us the mystical realm within, the Rabbit in the Moon is our magical guide. The Moon is now maximally Out of Bounds South plowing our psychic depths. This will be a month to remember. This month of Leo begins with Lughnasa the Celtic festival of the Sun god Lugh. Also known as Lammas or Loaf-mass, it is the traditional time to share bread of the first harvest and celebrate the bounty of the natural world. Moon Out of Bounds South, July 30-Aug 3 (4:11 am 7/30 – 3:54 pm 8/3 edt, four hours later gmt) As the Moon travels below the zodiac our inner world becomes illuminated. Subconscious beliefs and behavior are revealed and more easily reformed. We may experience challenges where we've been blocked or hiding from ourselves. This is a time to go beneath the surface, do research, change habits and renovate our inner world. Barack Obama's Birthday, August 4 – Now turning 48 and entering a First House Year, our new president's time to fully come on stage. This story is just beginning. Sun in Leo 'Asala' Full Moon, August 5 (exact 5:21 am) – Illumination This is the Asala Full Moon when enlightened leaders of the world gather in their spirit bodies to focus energy for global renewal. Each Full Moon brings revelation and opportunity for healing body, mind and soul. Meditation, deep breathing, music and dancing open us to receive blessings. Each Full Moon is like a pitcher pouring out a healing elixir we raise our cups to receive. Special energies flow through for three days following. Revelations come in dreams, `chance encounters' or sudden flashes of inspiration. Lammas Cross-Quarter, Aug 6-7 Time to Power On a New Mythic Story Midpoint Leo, the power gate of fire, culminates the festival of Lughnasa (or Lammas) that began August 1. This cross-quarter day of the summer season is most favored for mountain top picnics. The bread of the first harvest (hence Lammas or " loaf mass " ) prepared now is believed imbued with transcendent spirit like the Hobbits `Lammas bread' that sustained them in their quest. This cross-quarter brings opportunities to realize dreams and bring illumination. Dreams and portents predict what will be come in the Autumn season, so take note! Aug 6 is also the Catholic Feast of Transfiguration celebrating the time when Jesus went up on the mountain to be illuminated. Mid-Leo is the power gate to fire, teh time for illumination. The Sun is exactly mid-Leo at 5:15 am EDT (9:15 am GMT) on August 7th. This is a great date for a mountain picnic. The Druids built fires and beat drums following a solar eclipse, not 'to bring back the Sun' as many believe, but to tune into and power on a new rhythm for a new creation. Understanding eclipses was key to Druid religious science, Stonehenge was built to predict eclipses. The Druids also celebrated eight `solar power gates' in the year: the equinoxes, solstices and cross-quarter days. Following a total solar eclipse the next solar gate is most important for powering on the new creation. Lammas marks the cross-quarter of Summer, the mid-Leo `power gate of fire'. The Lammas festival begins August 1, the cross-quarter date is August 6-7 when the Sun is exactly halfway between Solstice and Equinox. Now the Druids would stoke up their fires and beat drums to power on a new cosmic creation. During mid-August shooting stars will be streaming brightly from the sword of Perseus while the great benefic Jupiter shines brilliantly in the evening sky. Jupiter is at opposition, closest to our planet, bringing celestial blessings. Saturn will just be fading from view as the Lord of the Rings makes a solar rendezvous and turns rings edge on toward the Sun for a once-in-30-years Spring Equinox. Spring time on Saturn is great news for planet Earth.
