The path of least resistance always works in the end.  These words were channeled to me in 2010.   It was at that time also that I heard my name and was shown the Hall of Records, and I communicated with a 5th dimensional being.   Even when I was very small and couldn't talk yet, I would get up in the middle of the night and lay on the threshold and listen to various loving beings talk to me and I would laugh and laugh.   That went on until the family changed houses.   I encountered a blue orb over one of our houses on the day Princess Diana died (mid 90's).  And I did see a fleet of ships fly over that same house, with light orbs by the dozens (late 90's).   This was witnessed also by my mother and some neighbors.  Many of them are here to help.   But don't call on just any of them.

For the next 10 years I slowly gained more information regarding the ascension process through other channelers.   Among some of the more advanced channelings on this topic is The Law of One website and books. 

The whole key to advancing yourself in order to "graduate" to the 4th Density is to love.   That is it.   You don't have to be perfect at it, but you have to lean more towards love to other beings than to not.   It also helps to have a good deal of gratitude.   Be loving.  Be thankful.   It also helps to eat high vibrational foods.

I was told many years ago that I was a starseed.   If you are  reading this, you too are probably a starseed or lightworker.   Our purpose in this lifetime is to inform people and to help them on the path of ascension.

This is the goal for all our souls.   Like going through grades in school to graduate one day, we must keep advancing our souls.   At the bottom of this page is an image showing only 5 dimensions and their meanings but it gives a good idea of what is ahead for us.

Everyone who refuses to ascend simply continues with the 3D cycle world of major problems, physical distortions, disease, harm, unfairness, and cruelties until they decide to raise consciousness.

As I understand it, pets and animals will also be given the option to ascend with us.  I am still learning, as we all are.

See my reading on 4D and Earth changes on the Readings page.

If you would like to get my tips for clairaudience and channeling please schedule a phone reading with me from the Readings page.

I’ve been doing psychic readings for many years, both in my home, at psychic fairs and on phone lines.  The following are my tips and observations.

1. Be ready for what you don’t want to hear.   It’s not guaranteed that your answers will be what you want.    But if you are open to hearing what spirit you wants you to know, then they will also tell you how to deal with the bad news, or if there is any way to reverse the bad news, and/or serendipity (a better outcome than you even expected that is coming in a way you didn’t know how to imagine).   We sometimes lock ourselves into beliefs that only “this or that” can possibly make us happy. That is a danger. We must trust what divine order has for us.Believe it or not, there are actually the few souls who truly do not want to see the truth and for those people, these tips are not for you.   Sometimes people call a psychic line but they don’t really want anything but to try to cause trouble to either the company or the reader, or both.   We bless them on their way.
2. Psychic readings of all kinds are a communication with “spirit” or guides in the spirit realm.   This is a transferring of energy.  Because of this special energy it is important for it to flow naturally. Ideally, you do not want to be driving, conducting business while having a reading, eating or at a drive-through (yes that's happened to me) or anything else that inhibits the flow.  A superstition states to also not cross your arms or legs during a session.  Your card reader or clairvoyant should already not be doing this.
   
3. Have your most important questions already formulated in your mind.   Phone readings, unlike in-person sessions, do not allow for the great time it takes to lay out a full 72 card spread to tell you what is happening in full detail.   We usually work with 3 to 7 cards to glimpse the recent past, the now, and the near future. Some may want to see further out than the near future (up to 6 months) and that usually always brings clear answers when the question is unambiguous and specific.   But, more often than not,  the further out in time (6 months or more) the more unclear or hazy the reading becomes.   Many outside events or other choices tend to make that far out more difficult. Readings are never confusing when the questions are clear
4. When giving your background to a situation, as many people like to do but is rather unnecessary, give the other person’s first name early on.   I for one, begin tuning it at the start but it’s easier with a first name as oftentimes there are more than one boyfriend or love interest in the picture.  If you wait until you’re all finished with your question before divulging the first name then it only lengthens your call time more than it may have been necessary.
   
5. Be open and receptive.   That may sound too simple but it’s key.    There are those skeptics who start off their session with an “I don’t believe this”, closed-off mind-set.   And so, (you guessed it) their session takes longer to reach their answers. Spirit or spirit guides will flood us with information if they are allowed to--but they must first be asked to do so.   Only when you give permission to let spirit bring you information will it come.   And when it comes, it flows.
6. Don’t rush.  If you are speaking a mile a minute it causes a disruption to the energies.   We realize that the clock is ticking, but having to ask a client to repeat their words obviously takes more time than speaking clearly to begin with.   Be relaxed so the flow can happen, and your reading will actually take less time.   When asking about different people, I get the most accuracy when I shuffle their energies into the deck.   This way gives you the most information rather than just pulling a card or two like some advisors do.
   
7. Check out the advisor’s website or listing.   Maybe you want a card reader or maybe you didn't.   Get an idea for their reading style before calling someone you might be disappointed with.   
   
   

Blessings and love,

Rea

My communications with Hathor.

My latest Guide showed up during last week’s Lunar Eclipse, in the morning.  She said her name was Hathor.  3x she told me her name during that morning meditation.  Because I didn’t recognize the name I researched it and found that she's of a former lifetime and was of this Earth plane existence.  She was an Egyptian goddess who is usually depicted with horns and a sun disk on her head.   I found a gold talisman that I already had (handed down from my mother) and it was of Hathor!  Stuck away in a drawer and about to go to be sold, but is now going to be a mainstay talisman for me.  It's now my mission to continue with her teachings.  And I found more information about her in a Cartouche book I'd recently bought.   Full moons are terrific times for crossing the veil to interact with those in higher dimensions, and this one will not be wasted for me, especially with it being so close to my birthday and in my opposite sign of Aries.  I just hoped at that time, that this was a beginning and not the ending that my sign will experience!  But no, it was to be an ending…

Hathor was trying to tell me something about my mother.  This came up again when I tried to talk to her through my cards.  As my mother has been slowly dying for years now, I knew that the time was nigh.  After our visit with her the other day, I told my son that it would probably be our last visit with her in this world.  (Previous readings I'd done showed me it would be when the Sun was in Libra anyway.)

It seems this was correct.  Her caregiver contacted my mother’s stepson to tell him that she didn’t think my mother had much longer now.  My cards show imminent, within a day to 2 days.  I felt night-time, but not on the 17th.  I also asked if my dad was ready for this major event and greeting her -- he was ready, yes.  

I charged crystals and created a “transition” mandala for her, around a lovely photo of her when she was younger and beautiful, in the early 1940's I believe.  I created it in a spiral shape and charged it to help ease her spirit and her physical departure into pure positive energy.

My own birthday is the day after tomorrow, 5 days before the Solar Eclipse.  When one’s birthday falls around the solar eclipse it heralds major changes for that person.  Having your mother pass on is definitely a major life change (even though she’s been all but absent for the past year to me in her decline).  Still, it is a major hit.  I feel she will pass on the 18th.   This is a time when I too might want to make a mandala for myself as well.  One for peace and healing.

******************************************************************************************************************************
The following are her charged mandala and re-charged mandala that I made as a part of the energy work and prayer work I did.  The one on the left was charged, or so I thought, until my reading told me it wasn’t.  I re-charged it, did more Reiki on it, more prayers and this time felt the heat in my palms and felt it was charged.  My next reading showed it was charged.  It may be hard to see the change with your eyes in these photos.  I can only say that I “felt” it had charged and the crystals seem stronger and more intense in the photo on the right as well.  I continued praying for her easy transition and went to bed praying for it and woke up praying for it.

Update, the following day:  Today, Oct. 18th, I was told that my mother passed around 10:30 a.m.  She simply stopped breathing.  I know that she had been “passing” for days prior.  It was a gradual experience for her and I am glad that it wasn’t a traumatic or painful ending.

My mother is in a “5” personal year.  Her birthdate was July 18th.  5 is a year of major change, along with expanding your horizons and freedom.  Leaving the body that had all but completely shut down was a no-brainer for her.  I wish that I had her birth time to make a copy of her chart.  I’m sure she has one made but through the years and her decline and various caregivers and family members rooting through her things it’s doubtful I will find it.  I’m kind of kicking myself for not securing it years ago.  It would have been interesting to study it and see how it reflects her death as well.

The next factor for me to study is how her stepchildren are going to be deceitful, as my guide showed me that, unfortunately.  I imagine that around the Solar Eclipse in 5 days’ time, or thereabouts, I will be finding out.  I pray a good deal around that situation too.

Thank you, dear Mother, for your beautiful life here and all you have given me and shared with me.  Be happy and free now.  ♥

Before planning your schedule for the week of April 13, 2014, be sure to take into account these two important days, to ensure that you don't waste your time and energies. 

We know that there is a full "blood" moon* lunar eclipse on Tuesday, and, much talk of the Cardinal Cross and the most heavy and radical energies that it produces.

But what is often overlooked are the little "mini Mercury retrogrades" that happen when the moon is void of course.

On both Tuesday and Thursday this week we have void moons, meaning the moon makes no aspects--she's taking a much needed rest period on these two days.

If you are planning on starting something on either of these two days it most likely will not pan out.  It's best to follow the moon's example and take it easy, do your necessary things but do not begin something.

However, Monday, Wednesday and Good Friday are fine for more activities and beginnings.

Do also know that many of the internal struggles we are feeling both personally and with regards to relationships as well as the world itself, are a direct result of this Cardinal Cross in the skies this month.  More prayer work helps, as does visualization and invoking angels to ask for their help to get through this phase.

Affirmation:  I NOW RELEASE AND FORGIVE ALL THAT IS NOT OF MY HIGHEST GOOD, AND I WELCOME DIVINE WISDOM IN ALL WAYS.
 
p.s.  How the Blood Moon may affect Israel, an excerpt from Coast to Coast radio show:

*  In the latter half, Pastor Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries in Washington state spoke about 'blood moons' and decoding signs from the heavens. Four successive total lunar eclipses (known as blood moons) will occur starting this April 15th, and then again on October 8th, April 4, 2015, and September 28, 2015. Blitz tied this rare astronomical pattern with ancient prophecy, as it's mentioned in the Bible, that in the Last Days, the sun would turn to sack cloth and the moon to blood. He views the succession of blood moons as like a set of red, warning flashing signs or "appointed times on God's calendar." In Genesis, it's written that God created the sun and moon as signs, so an eclipse can be particularly portentous, he noted.

During previous patterns of four blood moons over a year and a half period, the Israeli Six-Day War in 1967 took place, as well as the founding of Israel in 1948, Blitz said. Based on this pattern, during the upcoming blood moon cycle, he foresees Israel involved in a war in the Middle East, related to issues about dividing its land, as well as a global economic catastrophe tied to the seven-year "Shmita" cycle.

It has been months since I last sent out a newsletter. My life has had some hardships which seemed to prevent me from writing, much as I love it. My dear dog passed away recently and I’ve had horrible Mercury retrograde mechanical breakdowns. But today, we have a Solar Eclipse new moon and I expect positive turnarounds. If your life has been dealt heavy blows, take some time today to write down your wishes and to give thanks for their materialization as if it’s already happened. That is what I intend to do, and to work.

The Solar Eclipse

Have you been having difficulties with lethargy lately? Solar eclipses are powerful cosmic energies that bring about fresh starts and manifestations. They bring new portal openings, new vortexes which flood us with new energies. These “energies” are not necessarily of the energetic type! In fact, many begin to feel an overwhelming lethargy in the days or weeks prior to and/or following a solar eclipse.

This is simply the 4 body system processing these new waves. The more sensitive or empathic the person the more they will feel these effects. Many experience a higher level of excitement and restlessness.

With this period we have the additional challenges of Mercury retrograde and Uranus squaring Pluto. I’ve experienced the Mercury Rx via car breakdowns and repairs. I’ve experienced the Uranus sq Pluto energy with my beloved dog passing away. What else can happen? My son is worried about his headaches and needs to see a doctor. My friends and regular clients are all having big difficulties, and my prayer work has really been called upon for extra action.

During this eclipse the energies are prime for beginning something new and for making long-term promises to ourselves. It is widely believed in esoteric culture that the Solar eclipse power creates lasting manifestations into our lives. We are encouraged to make decisions at this time, to make changes, and to grow. Still, however, do not sign any important papers as Mercury is still in reverse until the 10th.

We are urged to center our minds and reach a connection with our higher self, our I Am Presence. We then add in powerful visualizations of what we are now wanting to manifest into our lives. We write down our “10 wishes”, write out our “abundance checks”, make affirmations and/or write down our goals, all with the focus and intent of really “seeing” it in our mind’s eye.

Suggested Affirmation: I ATTRACT THE PERSON I WISH TO BECOME AND I RADIATE MY TRUE HIGHER SELF.


The shop is targeting to open in April in Dallas, and will send more details at a later date.

This Violet Flame energy is extremely helpful and healing. I use it in all my energy healing work. If you are needing help in a situation call on it, ask for it to come to you, and imagine yourself inside a bonfire of its cool flame. You should see your situation shifting or fixing.

To receive a spirit guided reading for yourself or an energy healing for any issue or to help integrate these dynamic but intense energies, 1. simply purchase the session you want here and then, 2. email rea@mysticclinic.com to schedule the date and time. It must be done in this order as each session length is determined by your selection.

I always look forward to hearing from you!

Love and light,

Rea

(This is probably the fastest blog I've every written, but I wanted to get it out there this a.m., asap.)

Yippee! The Royal baby is being born today!  What a splendid day for a birth and all babies born today will be quite lucky in life.  Let me explain the personality this child will have in life, their challenges, their skills, and my prediction of the baby's sex.

(Dear Kate, you're going to want to read/keep this!)

An 8 Life Path, this baby is living a highly karmic lifetime.  What does this mean?  This lifetime is coming as a result of karmic debts created in a previous life or karmic injustices, or both.

And, it's a Leo.  The Leo baby is regal anyway, but to be a real regal, well, Leo the lion is about the most desired for royalty.  The lion wears a crown anyway :).   This child will be a leader and definitely in-charge.  He will relish the spotlight rather than try to hide from it, and that's just a good thing as the papparazzi will always be nearby.

This baby will be a Master Number 22 birth number, a highly intuitive master number.  In fact, this child will have a double-dose of intuitive power.  Also, this child (who I predict will be a Prince) will be as a spiritual teacher (22), and other qualities of this master number are:

    More power of the practical 4
    Master builder
    Big idea person
    Very karmic lifetime
    Master teacher

This baby, as an 8 life path will have plenty of:

    Drive
    Authority
    Ambition and may be potentially detached.  

Most 8's are prone to cruelty and violence but the master numbers 11 and 22 in this child's numerology I feel will mitigate that as they are quite sensitive master numbers.  At worst, religious zealot-tendencies might manifest but again, I think this child will be a new age guru-type spiritual and intuitive person, leading the way for ascended thought through the world.

This baby's Attitude number is Master Number 11, showing:

    Is the most intuitive person (more power of the 2 traits)
    Illumination
    Extreme sensitivity
    Extreme shyness (mitigated by his Leonine birth)
    Very charismatic
    Inspirational
    a Leader
    Humanitarian
    more power of the number 2

Colors:  This baby will be best in strong colors, especially greens and browns--no pale colors here.

And, he'll be born on the Full Moon, meaning he'll be "bringing things to fruition" throughout his life.  He'll be constantly balancing creative ideals with practicality.

Karma, again, is emphasized in this baby's lifetime, as the full moon birth is like a bridge connecting him to the past while propelling his ideas into the future.

This child will have challenges in being able to take control of his own feelings.  He may need to overcome a sense of guilt and/or fear in this lifetime.

He will definitely marry--the double master numbers indicate that he will certainly want to share his life with another.

As you can see, the royal baby will be a double-master number, and a karmic 8, which also represents Infinity, a Leo (natural leader) and born on the Full Moon--his birth is divinely orchestrated in a very karmic way.  The moon is in Aquarius, a very humanitarian sign, and I believe Monday's child is "full of grace" ?

How appropriate for someone who will be someday addressed as "Your Grace". :)

(I post this on the front page of my site each month but as it's located at the bottom of the page, beneath the readings, I fear many people miss out on seeing it.  I was guided to put it in a blog each month as well, hence this. :))

During this time get ready for the Mercury retrograde on June 26th.  Get all papers signed and ready ahead of time, data backups, car tuneups, etc.  The last few days of June has a sociable air to it and a Full Moon.  Jupiter (expansive and over the top) enters Cancer (water) so watch out for rains and floods, mis-communications and the usual Mercury mixups over the next few weeks.  The East coast sure got their fair share of rain and then some!    Remember to re-anything when Mercury is Rx.  That is, re-think, re-visit, re-do, etc., while not starting anything major or brand new.  It's an opportunity to finish what we've started. 

The next few weeks will potentially fun-filled although somewhat impractical.

Heavy energy happens on July 1st with a Venus and Saturn square, likely affecting your money or your love life.  This early July energy very difficult for relationships or ongoing disagreements.  Also, the potentials for fires, windstorms or earthquakes are high.  July 4th, brings a lighter energy with more optimism thanks to Jupiter.

July 8th brings the New Moon, remember to plant your seeds that you want to grow in your life.  Also, Saturn's five-month retrograde comes to an end and you will feel a lightness like something lifting off of you.  This New Moon energy is most auspicious for making major strides.

Uranus goes retrograde on July 17th.  When this big guy goes in reverse it's like having a few months of calm in the eye of the storm.  If there's a loss or separation that you haven't been able to come to terms with this time is most likely when you will now be able to.  Uranus signifies sudden change, so when it's retrograde we can get a break from that.

Mercury ends his retrograde on July 20th.  Now is the time to push forward with any new projects or purchases that you've wisely held off while it was retrograde.  Communications gradually return to normal.

July 20th, Mercury goes direct.  Communications return to normal, it's okay now to buy electronics or to start something new. 

On July 22nd Sun enters Leo. and we get also get some very positive alignments for good energy. Also on this date, the Full Moon in Aquarius beneficially trines the Sun.  And later that day, Venus enters neat/tidy, nitpicky and meticulous Virgo.  Dealings in love and money will have a more difficult time measuring up to Virgo's critical eye.  Virgo is one of the hardest-to-please of all the signs.  Focus on service to others during this time in order to fare best under this influence.

On July 27th there will most likely be drama and possibly violence due to Mars/Pluto clash.  At the least, it won't be a boring time.  Mars is aggressive and when you add-in Pluto's disruptive tendency the two create loud bangs and harsh effects.

There is a fabulous 7-planet Grand Sextile occurring in the sky during the last week of July that astrologers have been looking forward to for a long time.  It is a rare aspect or configuration that will take place on July 29th.  We won't be able to see it without instruments but its influence is quite strong.  A Grand Sextile looks like a 6-pointed star or a hexagram.  Think of two triangles, each pointing the opposite direction and overlapping.  The planets involved are all considered feminine energies and healing.   The moon trines Venus which trines Pluto and Mars/Jupiter trines Saturn which trines Neptune.  There are sextiles involved which bring potential and there are oppositions involved which make the whole thing activate more energy.  Astrologers call this the return of the feminine and is a gift to us to regain our footing and recreate balance in the world. 

We've been in the midst of a Uranus/Pluto struggle since 2012 and will continue through 2015, but this Grand Sextile is a saving opportunity, if we all act on its healing and re-balancing gift.  And anyone who is actively working on a healing will surely benefit greatly around this date (29th).

The first week of August brings us a New Moon in Leo.  More of August will be put here a little later on, but that month appears to be much quieter than July!

• The Cazimi New Moon and Supermoon Full Moon

• Skype Now Available
• Your Power Crystal
• Helpful Tip--Your Astro Houses

Cazimi New Moon June 8th and Supermoon June 23rdThis month treats us with two very special moons!

Cazimi means "heart of the sun". When a planet is within 17 degrees of the sun's arc then it is said to be in the heart of the sun, or in cazimi mode. This is rare so that when it happens we take note of it. It is considered to be a very protective, benevolent and beneficial aspect. It is believed to be "wondrous strong". You can do no wrong.

June 8th, the moon will be in cazimi. If ever you used the new moon energy to write down your wishes, visualization, or any other alchemy, this one must not be ignored to manifest your desires. This is the perfect time to begin a new project or launch a new path for yourself. This Cazimi moon is super lucky. Whatever you start tomorrow (around 11 a.m.) will surely turn to gold!

On June 23rd we have a Supermoon. This will be the closest and largest full moon of the year. It'll also present the moon's closest encounter with Earth for all of 2013. The next time the moon will be this big (or close) will be 8/10/14. What a super time to put your crystals out in the moonbeams for a supercharging to them.

Well what does it mean to have a Supermoon? The tides are bigger than normal, and likewise, emotions are more intense than usual. I personally like to stay home during each full moon, just to be on the safe side. Emergency personnel are always busier during these times. I prefer to stay safe and do readings, work with my crystals, do meditation, and, of course admire the moon outside. Full moons mean getting rid of what no longer serves.... make a wish list of what you do want in life, and decide what you no longer want. With this kind of powerful moon, this exercise will yield super results!

Your Feedback

Here are some May and June excerpts from emails you've sent me, and I thank you!

"You said I will move and I am moving and described the place with gardens and a small flat, this was 3 months ago. what I like about you is you say it as it is. thank you"

"Wow, I am blown away. What I received is beyond words.I was WOW'd! Your details agree with my business to a T. You are a consummate Master Psychic, Medium of the Tarot Cards. I'm so glad I found you!"

I thank you for your comments! It means a great deal to me. This is why I get immense satisfaction in doing this work; helping people through their times of confusion or giving good news of what's to come. I am so blessed to be able to do this work that I so love.

Skype and How it Works
Finally. I have Skype up and running, the new web cam, and instructions on how it works for your readings.

1. Install Skype
2. Give me your Skype name when you make your appointment with me.
3. Add me as a Skype contact. My Skype name is hswallace.
4. I will then confirm your Skype contact with me.
5. I call you at the time of your reading and you can watch your reading live with me! Do not call me due to technical issues on my end.

Your Power Crystal
Find the metaphysical and healing properties of your favorite stones at Meanings of Crystals page on my site. While you're there, I now offer a silver-toned charm cage with up to 3 charged personalized stones to help you (wear on your own chain). Prices vary but not to exceed $50. Contact me to order.

Enjoy your crystals and be sure to cleanse them regularly. (See the crystals page on this site for how to do that.)

I recommend wearing your personal power stone along with the best stones for the healing you need at this time or metaphysical properties you are looking for at this time. If, like me, you don't have the means to buy them all in gemstone jewelry form you can go into a rock shop and buy them all in a rough or tumbled form for a relatively low cost. Then, you just insert them into a cage meant for attaching to a chain or wire wrap them yourself for attachment.

Full Moon
Waning 180-135 degrees

The Full Moon is our brightest and it is at its peak.  It’s like the end-celebration of the lunar cycle and it brings "illumination" to issues and represents "endings" in much the same way as the Lunar eclipse. The energies are very vivid the night before and the day after as well.

So, as Nature gave us the past couple weeks to rest and reflect, here she is now spurring us to connect with others and get out of our cave!  Like a curtain being lifted from our self-absorbed scenario we can now see ourselves and others in an objective light.

We feel almost an exact opposite as we did when the moon was a dark moon.  While then we felt inclined to pull back into ourselves, we now lean towards outward expression. People and animals are naturally much more outgoing and assertive during a Full Moon and it's the busiest night for police, fire, ER,  and other emergency-response personnel.  People who are generally introverted come out of their shell now and emotions run high.

This is the time to "manifest" the dreams set forth at the last New Moon by using this time of potent feeling and emotion.  "Feeling" is the catalyst that makes visualization work.  This is a powerful time to pray for creative solutions (the Law of Creative Solutions), meditate, visualize, perform magic, spells, alchemy, and/or tune into your Higher Self and guides. 

If you use or work with crystals, put them in the moon's beams.  I put mine outside for the night where at times they will be lit by the moon.  This charges them very strongly.  You know, over time, they diminish in their energy, so this is an important time for them as well.  If you can't put them outside or if it is raining put them in the window.

When the landscape at night-time is very illuminated like it is we find suddenly that issues, situations and people become clearer to us.  We see truth, see things clearly for what they are.  Truly the "veil" is lifted.  This is also the case for psychic perceptions.  It's the most potent time to either have a reading or give a reading, meditate to achieve otherworld connections, tune into spirit guides and departed people.  Because of this, it’s my favorite time to give or get a reading.

Special Note:   Important and serious relationships usually begin on or just after a Full Moon.

Sample affirmations would be:  I SEE MY GOALS TAKING FORM.  I NOW RELEASE THAT WHICH DOES NOT SERVE MY HIGHEST GOOD.  THANK YOU, UNIVERSE, FOR MY RICH BLESSINGS.

Eclipses

At least twice a year we have a Lunar eclipse and a Solar eclipse.  Some years there are as many as four or five, with at least two of them being partial eclipses.  Generally, there are two Lunar eclipses and two Solar eclipses in a given year. 

Two weeks after a Solar eclipse we get a Lunar eclipse.  Lunar eclipses always coincide with a full moon, and Solar eclipses always occur during a new moon.  

Solar eclipses blot out the sun briefly as the moon passes between Earth and the Sun.  Lunar eclipses are when the moon is lined up opposite the sun with the Earth being the one in-between, thus passing the Earth’s shadow over the moon.

Eclipses put a sort of spotlight on shadow areas of our lives, bringing long buried desires to the surface.  Typically, these areas lie in what we need to face and “deal with” in our lives in order to move forward.  To best meet the opportunity presented with this potential we need to release.  We may have thought that we’d dealt with certain buried fears or anxieties we have been carrying, but perhaps not.  This is like a “spring cleaning” for us to further release what has been unsettling to us so that we can move forward.  So, eclipses serve to shake us out of our safety zone and shake off more misguided beliefs or attachments that stem from past patterns, fears, etc.

We will notice extremes in how we feel.  Some of us may be more vibrant and energetic, while others of us are more lethargic and withdrawn than usual.  For myself, after a Solar eclipse I notice a significant drop in my energy level.  I feel tired most of the time and even a sense of depression sinks in for up to several weeks after the eclipse.  With a Lunar eclipse I find myself a little bit on the lonely side.  How do they affect you?

Regardless of how we as individuals handle Solar eclipses, when it comes to a Lunar eclipse we all sense an adjustment of sorts in our emotional and spiritual bodies.  This is the upgrade to our intuitive and instinctive selves.

Eclipses in Astrological Signs
The Solar eclipse on 5/20/12 occurred in Gemini, so the lunar eclipse that occurred on 11/28/12 was in Gemini, exactly six months later.  Six months seems to be the divine right timing for seeing if what we began during the new moon eclipse can or will be able to come to fruition during the full moon eclipse in the same sign.  In the case of Gemini, emphasis is felt in areas of communication, relating with others, short trips, siblings, our immediate surroundings, and new experiences. Whatever we began during the solar eclipse in May, 2012, was likely influenced by one of these traits and then culminated on November 2012. 

A Lunar eclipse in a certain astrological sign is said to be the culmination of events we have experienced in the past six months or so when the solar eclipse new moon was in that same sign. For instance, the 11/25/11 solar eclipse in Sagittarius heralded events and desires for us to deal with in terms of travel, writing/publishing, education, entrepreneurship, foreign matters and higher concepts.  Six months later, when the 06/04/12 “matching” lunar eclipse in Sagittarius occurred we saw a flurry of activity in these areas “culminate”.  These areas were highlighted in our lives to whatever degree we allowed or nurtured them. 

As an example, during the few days leading up to the 6/4/12 lunar eclipse, I found myself tackling this book once and for all.  I pushed forward with it during last year’s Solar eclipse in Sagittarius but it got waylaid and then it came back on track again during the lunar eclipse in Sagittarius.  (Things culminate during Lunar eclipses.)  And yet again, with the Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius on May 25, 2013, I began yet another surge in my book writing.  (I felt it several days prior!)  So note to writers, notice where the moon is when you feel the most inspiration for your writing project.  Evidently, my inspiration is when the Moon is in Sag!

Going forward, pay attention to which sign the Solar eclipse and Lunar eclipse fall in so that you will have an understanding of what is beginning or culminating in your life.

Also notable are “birthday eclipses”.  If an eclipse were to fall on your birthday, for example, you are ensured an eventful year to come.  Additionally, even if the eclipse were to take place in a key sign in your chart you will experience the eclipse in an intensified way.  Any good astrologer can help you identify upcoming eclipses of significant importance to you.

The Lunar Eclipse
Contrary to the Solar eclipse fresh start momentum, the lunar eclipse represents “endings” and tying up loose ends.  We are at this time receiving an “upgrade” in our systems by a purging of the old in order to make room for newer situations.  Something in us leaves; something in the way we view ourselves or others or the world is not quite the same anymore.

This is a time to let go of and shed old beliefs, habits, ideas, viewpoints or anything that makes us stuck.  These events bring closure and completion to certain matters in our lives, thereby pushing us ahead.  Our old skin must be shed for the new “us” to emerge.  Old files are deleted so that our upgrade can take effect.  It is advised to allow these much needed changes to happen, and to have faith that it is all a part of Divine Order.  The changes and discards can be subtle or monumental, depending on your personal life path and in whether or not you have already been updating your “system” regularly.

In this opportunity to leave our past behind we are encouraged to connect with our great Central Sun.  It is recommended that we center our mind and soul connection by looking inward.  In doing this, we are better able to clear out the blocking energies and allow a burst of new light to enter, thereby ensuring a successful new start.  We see many guided meditations instructing on how we visualize a connecting cord or column of light emanating from our higher self to the great central sun of our galaxy, or our spiritual sun.  This helps us to grow beyond our ego-based personality self and merge with our all aspects of our higher self.  In this way, we are able to truly let go of what no longer serves our divine purpose (not our ego purpose).

We’ve all heard stories and fables that span time on the importance of building on a solid foundation or the new structure doesn’t stand a chance.  Similarly, we are given these special times throughout the year to look inside ourselves in order to clear out old patterns, beliefs, misplaced desires, misguided energies, etc., thus enabling us to build on a newer and more stable base.  This is why Lunar eclipses are expansive times in which to remind us, in a way, to release the burdens that we’ve attached to or accumulated on ourselves in order to go forth with better confidence and a firmer foundation as we continue to create our highest desires.

Affirmation:  I NOW RELEASE AND FORGIVE ALL THAT IS NOT OF MY HIGHEST GOOD, AND I WELCOME DIVINE WISDOM IN ALL WAYS.
