Leo Solar Eclipse for August 11, 2018 (18 degrees, 42 minutes)--Open the Gate

  

Roar!!!!--Here Comes the Leo Solar Eclipse for 2018


Today, I downloaded information about the outer planets representing the 5th dimension and the personal planets representing the 3rd and 4th dimensions. And Jupiter and Saturn act as the gateway to the higher dimensions. For the Leo Solar Eclipse (less intense than both the Cancer Solar Eclipse and the Aquarius Lunar Eclipse), I see a gate flinging open. It's a gate to a sheep pen. The gate opens and only the boldest sheep exit the pen. The others are still seeking a guru.

The other part to this is that even the outer planets contain two experiences depending on where someone resides the most (the 4th or the 5th dimensions). If I'm doing a reading for a client who spends time in the 5th dimension through light work, energy healing, yoga, meditation, or other forms of spiritual development, then the transits in a Universal chart or even their Natal Chart holds the more positive influences (positive and negative are perceptions). And for those clients still operating mostly in the lower dimensions, will experience the transits as more challenging.

I am not placing a judgement here. We are where we are and whereever we are on this spectrum is where we need to be until the next step appears for us in an event or through a challenge. We are all holding a space, says the Leo Solar Eclipse whereever we are in the spectrum of light and dark. We all shares a greater purpose, especially when we recognize that other people are holding mirrors for us to gain self-knowledge and wisdom. When we understand that, then there is no need to judge anyone. This is not a contest between cowboys wearing white or black hats. We are not residing in the Wild West even if it feels like that sometimes.

The mission here is for each of us to discover our authentic self and for some of us, that revolves around clearing old wounds. The older the wound, the more yucky the process is of cleaning it. And the medicine is delivered through forgiveness of others and the past. And really, isn't it ourselves who we must forgive first? Others don't make us feel bad, we allow them to make us feel bad. And we do this because we believe what they tell us about us. However, only we know who we truly are and the rest of it is mirrors and projections.

Now, the big player in this chart besides, the Sun and the Moon eclipses each other is Jupiter. Jupiter is direct in Scorpio locked into a square with the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, the South and North Nodes, as well as, the asteroid Pallas. Jupiter is also in a flowing aspect with Neptune (which is on-going throughout most of 2018). So, this tells me that the heart represents the higher realm and the ego represents the lower realm because Leo represents both the heart and the ego. And it is through exaggerated darkness that we find the light. Our answer lies in the deep subconscious.

And while this might seem like elementary school math, what does this mean for you personally? Are you at a crossroads asking yourself whether or not to follow your head or your heart? Are you falling into logical instead of spiritual thinking. The spirit just knows without knowing how it knows.  And who is Leo? Leo is our authentic self. Leo gives us permission to bring our unique creativity and joy to the world no matter how that shows up. We all create something, even chaos or drama.

An egotistical Leo acts like a tyrant frightening everyone with his roar. But a heartfelt Leo brings generosity and even philanthropy so that everyone feels special, seen, and heard. Leo says that we all deserve our 15 minutes of fame and that includes everyone. And if you had 15 minutes to get your message across Ted Talk style, what is that message? What can you say that no one else can say in the same way? Do you even know your authentic self? If you don't then there is a long road ahead of discovery presented by this Solar Eclipse.

Venus challenges both Saturn and Chiron. This to me says that we will finally deal with the painful blows to the female psyche. Venus is fighting back. This might have to do with protecting Gaia from more destruction or it might have to do with women's rights. Or it might have to do with women feeling safe to express themselves fully in the world--and that includes the softer side. How many times have women had to fight like men and are now sword-weary? War does little for the complexion and destroys good posture...

Mars squares Uranus and Chiron squares Saturn. This is a double dose of children rising up in a revolution (on social media or on the streets). We must admit that children are no longer accepting the status of invisibility. During the Victorian Era, I'm told, parents expected their children to be seen but not heard. Charles Dickens understood this dymanic when he penned Oliver Twist. But in the US, the novel Little Women at least had us delving into the lives of daughters, their aspirations, and their dreams.

Today, children aren't living such innocent lives (not that those girls did either). They are dealing with violence, vulgarity, and enslavement to cultures that never did serve them. These children are brilliant and even foolish because they will take that leap of faith into the unknown and without any sort of map. And this is because the maps were created by the Patriarchs and they must create new blueprints for the planet.

Mars and Venus are in flowing aspect with Mars in Aquarius and Venus in her own sign Libra. And we do notice that younger folks get along much better with the opposite sex. They have even blurred the lines as we would expect to happen with the Aquarius Age. We all face the challenge of balancing the masculine and the feminine. It's just easier for the younger generations. They carry less baggage than us older folks, but not necessarily less trauma.

So, now, let's take a look at the breakdown for the Zodiac Signs. Since I am in the process of healing my right thumb I am lumping the signs together under Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable qualities. I really don't want to type 12 descriptions.

Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn):

With Chiron in Aries, Venus in Libra with Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn, there's a lot going on with the Cardinal Signs. The biggest message for you is change which comes from sudden endings and new beginnings. I see an older teacher erasing a chalkboard. And then this teacher prepares a new lesson. This a time of master rebuilding and going back very far in the past to come up with new structures for this new age. The old meets new. But we question those old traditions.

Fixed Signs (Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio):

This is not a time to dig in your heels and you must step way out of your comfort zone. This is especially true for Taurus. You're still mining your subconscious to release patterns and beliefs as well as, reworking timelines and healing your ancestors through the healing work you do on yourselves. Some of you might be suffering from neurological symptoms around this eclipse. Be mindful of your heart and your neurological system because they could suffer under the intensity of the eclipse season. Your main message is to reclaim and to proclaim your authenticity.

Mutable Signs (Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius):

Neptune in Pisces and Vesta in Sagittarius are asking you to consider the bigger dream. You also step up your spiritual practices or take them more seriously. You are actually getting some relief at this time and can take this time to retreat, regroup, and to rest. And I would advise laying low too, especially if you are a teacher because there is information that is still hanging out in the ethers that you don't quite have access to yet. And that information is a game-changer and possibly a career-changer for some of you. Meanwhile, Uranus, Pluto, and Saturn bring strength to those of you born under Virgo or Pisces. And Chiron brings healing to those of you born during the time of Gemini and Sagittarius.
