Seen Alignment
On this day in in may places around the globe we will be blessed with a Solar Eclipse (check your areas for viewing times). Meaning that the Moon will move between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow and blocking out the Sun's light. Simple enough explanation, right? Well the spiritual implications could not be more fortuitous for us. Eclipses hold great power and knowing what is possible makes room for such great progress and evolution on just this one day.

Sun seeker
The Sun, ruler of Leo and the new moon we will be entering just after the Solar Eclipse is known for many gifts, such as performance, recognition, and openly seeking pleasure. But, most of all, the Sun illuminates that which we have hid from ourselves and others. So while this Solar Eclipse provides opportunities to view the power of these celestial bodies (Sun, Earth, Moon), be very clear that asking for light and truth at this time will bring just that. And it won't be filtered.

To see or not to see
Illumination can be a double edged sword that we can properly wield if we are ready and prepared. Upending our shadow side can bring pain, guilt, hurt and regret, know it and don't be surprised if it shows up. In these last hours before the Solar Eclipse take time to ready yourself. Think about what you want to reveal to yourself. Think about how loved and connected you are all things and everyone. Focus on the compassion and kindness that you have for yourself. And know that during this Solar Eclipse and at least two weeks from now things will come to the surface and it is okay.

Sea of emotions
My journey this Solar Eclipse is to take stock of my emotions on a whole list of things and to prepare myself for rejuvenation and moving forward. There have been many things that have been swirling and moving in my spirit these last few months (the reason for my less frequent blogging), but I am clear now that sharing is a must and that I must locate and reconnect with my inner self to move through this place. While I am not expecting miracles, I sure will take them as they come.

Watch & see
Please take seriously this gift of a visible Solar Eclipse.  Right now in the world we can all use some universal wig snatching (colloquial for truth revealing) and if we are all focused on truth, illumination and breaking of smoking mirrors, then it will be so. What I know about humanity is that our greatest power lies in our ability to love, our capacity to be kind, and our connection to those who have come before us. I hope you get all you need from this Solar Eclipse.

On this day allow all the shadows to appear so I may confront them, see them for what they are and move beyond them,

Blessed am I to encounter the power of the eclipse, I am open, I am clear, I am love,

May my ancestors and guides lead me to the truth that has been here all along.
