Well, the moon represents your subconscious and sun conscious mind.  Now imagined these are totally lined up, if you like equally balanced and placed in your energy field.  With the bright light of your conscious mind, toned down (e.g. created by the shadow of the earth),  you get to see and feel the unseen subconscious more clearly.  The earth’s shadow (or technically the refracted light in the earths atmosphere) allows a hew of reddy/golden  light to bathe the moon. If you like the deep subconscious, (the moon) is illuminated by your own shadow!  And through less direct light, it allows you to see the moon in new textures and details.

So, in psychology terms, we might take this as an opportunity to see the deep subconscious in new ways. Your first reaction might be to look away, unsure if you really want to see what’s there!  But then when you do look, the image you are shown is of such beauty that you can imagine the beauty created by your own shadow or subconscious mind.

More directly, the luna eclipse gives you the opportunity for clarity, because you get to see your shadow self more clearly, or with greater dominance. We spend soooo much time searching out and trying to see the subconscious, trying to find the cause behind our actions.  Next week, we no longer have to search! Its there for you to see, if you wish to. I recommend grabbing the opportunity with both hands!

And how is such a powerful opportunity best handled?  My top tips:

1. Go within, find time to be still, breathe, and allow your physical, mental and emotional self to come into harmony.
2. Allow yourself to see the beauty in your shadow, love and appreciated every piece of the subconscious that comes up to be seen.  This may include beliefs and feelings that you often push away. To embrace and welcome those parts of yourself will immediately free you from any burden that might be attached to them.  Allowing the beauty of your full being to be awakened.
3. Relinquish & release everything. I’m not suggesting becoming a sanyasin, (living with nothing owned materially), but rather to take the spirit of the sanyasin and allow the magic of non-attachment to liberate your spirit.   You can do this through practicing awareness of every emotion, thought, image, memory, vision and sensation that comes up over the following days and allowing them to be seen without judgment.  Allowing them to flow through, no longer tethered to you, and released through love.

 

To say a little more on point 3: We spend probably 95% (or more!) of our lives ‘being someone’ – a specific identity.  In that identify we are certain things (e.g. loving, kind, peaceful, disciplined, helpful, attractive..) and we definitely are not others things, (jealous, angry, ugly, lazy or whatever other attributes you can add as your worst fear to be called!).  And it gets even more complex, there are parts of yourself that you really want to be, but feel you never quite reach.  This concept of self and identify is really quite complex!

The luna eclipse, gives you an opportunity to reach beyond who you think you should be and gives you clarity on all the different aspects of  you.  And if you relinquish and release all these parts, you are free.  If you are free, you can be whoever you want to be.  And if you can be anyone and anything, you are Infinite Possibilities.    Well that’s exciting!!

 

Congratulations & welcome home! The alignment of the moon, earth and sun has given their gift of unity, freedom and awakening the infinite spirit within you.  Wishing you a wonderful June. Love Clare
