Today I want to talk about current events and particularly about the full solar eclipse that is happening in the sign of Leo, where currently the south node of the Moon is residing. But we’re not going to discuss the basic things that you see online everywhere, as well as on social media, obviously.
I want to say right away, that The first few paragraphs will be an explanation of the things And I’ll be using some terms that perhaps not everyone is familiar with. But it needs to be done, and after that, I explain everything in a more comprehensive way.
As you know, in my articles, I often talk about esoteric traditions and wisdom and how the inner work, The Opus Magnum, is important and necessary for true understanding of self, life, your soul evolution, your transformation to what each and everyone of us is supposed to be in their own journey, which is unified within. This has nothing to do with external things. And then subsequently, you becoming less and less triggered by the influence of external events, which is the goal. Because you must take your power back to yourself and stop being this powerless being that is always dependent on external things and influences.�The temporary conjunction of the Sun and the Moon symbolizes the Sacred or Heavenly Marriage (Hieros Gamos) of the active spirit, which is represented by the solar consciousness, and the receptive form, which is lunar subconscious. This is our goal, as well as the foundation for inner transformation/rebirth/regeneration (whatever you want to call it) and subsequently physical manifestation.
�Esoterically speaking, the fundamental power of subconsciousness, which is the Moon, is to store and record impressions. We have access to the storehouse of cosmic memory through this medium . The inner memories we bring with us into any incarnation, or tendencies we are developed during life, and our responses to this will be in terms of what we have developed in the past. So our lives are not determined by environment! It is precisely there where history of all the living creatures in the beginning of the manifestation are residing. We are part of the old. And we all have this knowledge deep within our subconscious, and we share it with everyone else. If we bring the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the sephira (sphere, area) that is associated with it is Yesod (literal translation from Hebrew is foundation; so, simply speaking, it represents the foundation of our reality, and the future, through which all the energies pass before manifesting in the physical world, in other words, is the link between the spiritual and material realms), which is the seat of Nephesh, the vital or animal soul of the automatic consciousness, responses, reactions, so, again, simply speaking, it represents the breath of life, a living being. So the way we see our environment in our relationship with others will constitute the patterns that eventually become manifested. This is a part of our personality complex, and particularly the training of our subconsciousness in this area of our personality that becomes challenging during our spiritual endeavors and understanding of the things. So the goal of this training is humanizing of our subconsciousness, till it becomes under our control. And we do that via another part of our consciousness, but we will talk about it next time.
�Let’s look at the Sun. In your chart, it represents the fundamental purpose for which a person has entered incarnation, as well as most tendencies and what is the heart’s desire. That’s why it is related to the cardiac plexus, your heart, where the higher self, our true I, is residing. Being a part of the sacred group of planets, the Sun also assembles for the rebirth from natural humanity to spiritual humanity. This is the great work. To attain this goal, more than just a personal effort is required. In Kabbalistic three it sits in the sephira Tiphareth, which translates as beauty or glory, symbolizes our heart, our harmony, balance, and, of course, the core of ourselves.�So what happens in the solar eclipse? It’s an interaction between this conscious and subconscious. Astronomically speaking, it’s the time when the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun. So it’s your subconscious mind perfectly intercepting, or filtering, or, like I mentioned before, marrying this shining light of the conscious self. It also represents this critical point and, in a way, dark night of the soul, metaphorically speaking, because when the Moon blocks the Sun, this external world, that is visible only because of the light, is completely becoming extinguished. So it forces us to look beyond everything that is made visible by the light of the Sun and is visible to our eyes to finally find the hidden realities that are residing within us. During the solar eclipse, our attention needs to be, and actually is forced to be, turned inward. You must shed the light in your inner dark cave, Your own temple. that is the true temple, which is inside of our bodies, where the soul lives, needs to be enlightened. So eclipses reveal the hidden things, or hidden light, that is within us, that is usually missed. It is the time when great work can finally happen and everything can be unified within, which is ultimately how it is. You need to overcome this illusion of separation of the things within you. You shall unify your conscious and subconscious mind, so you will understand the reasoning behind everything that is happening in your external world. Again, I’ve already said many times that there are deeper reasons behind everything, and you need to look within, work on yourself, this is your great work, and nothing else is actually more important than that. Otherwise, again, you are just like a marionette in the hands of others, constantly getting influenced by external things, events, actions, people. So, when there is absolutely no attention to your inner world directed, you are giving your power away more and more day by day. Because you don’t know. And those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. This famous phrase comes to mind when I’m thinking about all of that. This is allegorically speaking
�If we are talking about the sign of Leo, where this eclipse happens, it is very significant because this is the only sign, again, that is ruled by the Sun itself, and the Sun is at its absolute peak of strength and expression in Leo. So when solar eclipse occurs, it suggests that the Sun is being fully extinguished in its own area of leadership. So it’s not about shining brighter and reclaiming your creativity like The Whole Internet Screams. It is about necessary ego death, and this is what also indicated by the change of the lunar nodes to Leo - Aquarius axis.
Take a look: south node, which represents our past and something we need to get away from in order to evolve, is in Leo. So this subconscious personality, your pride, and so on, are completely blacked out by the subconscious Moon. So we’re turning within, and we need to realize that the personal ego and constant desire for validation and adoration is not the true source of light. This is not how you evolve in a true meaning of it. This is actually the opposite. Leo itself represents the wild, raw, untamed desire, the animal, subconscious passions operating in a physical realm. And it needs to be tamed and redirected. As the Aquarius residing across Leo, this is one of the directions towards higher good of the collective and your own soul. As I always tell you, no amount of earthly treasures has ever made anyone truly happy, harmonious, and peaceful. People always feel that they’re missing something. There are millions of examples in the world. Leo is the sign of your own personal self-expression, creativity in a real meaning of it (and not what you’ve been told creativity is) and your own divine spark. So eclipse here helps to purify your own personal motives. I always ask people, especially those who call themselves creative or artists: Are you doing that to feed your personal ego? Or Are you acting actually for the higher good of the collective and doing that in the broader, bigger sense of everything?
�South node of the Moon is also our past life habits that is, it is kind of our comfort zone, and this is something that we need to move away from to mature. And I feel like that specifically in this sign of Leo, something that we all need, because it’s going to purge, drain, and strip away all these distorted expressions of Leo. So this is all interconnected, like I always say, you need to look at the bigger picture. You cannot just zoom into something and look specifically on that. What about everything else? Here we’re exposing the dependency on this external validation, praises, and this deep need to feel unique or special that is constantly being promoted right now. This is the performer archetype, which is everywhere right now. How many people are actually truly unique and real is very questionable. I have many times mentioned it’s time to stop it, take off your mask, get rid of all of these deep needs for validation from people, and your own egoistic thoughts and behavior. Because it doesn’t make anyone happy. People nowadays are trying to pull off absolutely everything, despicable things even, I would say, because they’re afraid to be perceived as ordinary and simple. I’m not gonna even go ahead and mention what is done on social media and how persistent people are trying to protect this performative behavior. On top of that, it is widely being promoted. While doing so, many betray their own morals, inner guidance and compass, their own value system, all for some clicks, likes, validation, and this fake world around them. How many people actually remember about integrity? Food for thought 😉
Everything needs to be in harmony and balanced, but for that, you cannot continue residing only in one state of being and understanding of the things. It’s like you are always stuck in the infantile position and being. It’s time to move on, to mature, to become wise, to start to reflect on what you experience and how they shaped you, to understand your own value and contribution to the higher good and collective, and, of course, evolve personally.�For people who have their Moon, Sun, nodes, I would even say Chiron in Leo, the latter one I just recently discussed in my article, will feel it more personally, in my opinion. Because these are more vulnerable placements in the overall picture here.
It is a very critical time for us all, individually and collectively, to finally shift from the self-observed story of Me to the broader contribution of We, which is the axis of Leo and Aquarius. And the timing of it couldn’t be better. Take a look at what is happening in the world in a broader sense and in your own world, your own environment. While many still thinking like, what about me? So what if it happens everywhere else? This is not how we’re going to get to anything good in life. I many times already said there is absolutely no evolution happening for quite a long time. It is the opposite, people in the world are degrading. Of course, many are waking up, but still many only know one thing, because of so many separated facts. You need to look at the bigger picture, collect things, reflect on them. This is how it always has been done. Once you understand certain things, you know that’s connected to the other thing, and it never stops, and it’s an amazing journey. You are becoming this vortex of energy. Strip of your demanding ego, which is represented by Leo (there is ruled by the consciousness, the Sun, which is pretty much means son, it’s a child, because only a child is acting this way and a spoiled one), so that your true, authentic individuality actually can be offered as a clean gift to the collective community, which is Aquarius. And I’m not saying that this axis is represented by one bad sign and one more evolved sign, but actually that they need to find a mutual ground, harmony, the golden ratio. Because both of the signs can swing. Don’t get me wrong. Many Aquarians are very egocentric and only directed on the material, physical realm and world. So everyone needs to find this mutual ground. But right now we’re going through these lunar nodes, which are representing our past and the future, so we are talking about these specific zodiac signs. We also know that Jupiter is going to be residing in the sign of Leo till July next year, as well as Pluto is continuing its journey through Aquarius, and it’s not going anywhere soon. As many planets right now have been in retrograde motion and some of the points will be added to this lineup in September, these things are literally very important to understand and be reflected upon. This is the theme for the next upcoming future.�All of it trines Saturn, which is currently retrograding in the sign of Aries, also bringing our attention to exactly the same themes of the will of power, personal identity, and the ego. There is also a trine to the Black Moon Lilith in the sign of Sagittarius, also bringing our attention to the higher mind, broader vision. With Saturn, we need to look again and ask ourselves if we are acting from this defensive ego position or actually willing to evolve beyond that and to find out the true soul purpose. In a way, it adds this much-needed structure and discipline. And Lilith needs to be free from the need to please an audience, have your own mind, which is very rare nowadays.�If we continue to add other components of this event, notable will be Mercury being in Leo, which basically, again, represents the mental ego and subconscious need to be recognized. So Jupiter, it can magnify this pride, vanity, and the demand for stage, now because the eclipse is happening, and also that south node is here, it’s kind of putting brakes on all the shenanigans, and generally speaking, also maybe in a way forcing people to stop with this performative behavior and need to convince everyone that you are the best or something else like that.
�All in all, to me, it looks like an opportunity for a reset. It is our chance to do what is right and finally evolve, or at least make some steps towards that. This ego death is much needed, especially in our current day and age, and I’m talking about, again, individually and collectively.
