“With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be perfectly happy?”
― Oscar Wilde
“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”
― Patrick Rothfuss
New moon, or really no moon. Every 29 1/2 days the reflection of light from the sun on the moon ceases to be seen and the sky goes dark for a couple of nights. Then a tiny crescent of light will appear on the right side as the waxing moon phase begins. Now is the time to finalize plans, to have everything in order before taking massive, sustained action towards the realization of your dreams.
Ask yourself, if I were to be here only to the end of this year, what haven’t I accomplished yet that I must? Then begin that very thing, for it is the reason that you are here. Go forward without fear and do what needs to be done. Whatever fills you with joy and love, do that.
Solar Eclipse – This day couldn’t get more perfect. The Solar Eclipse is the second eclipse of the season and occurs just hours after the Summer Solstice, intensifying its effect. The annular eclipse will begin at 12:47 a.m. ET. It will be visible over central Africa, the southern Arabian Peninsula, Pakistan, Northern India and South Central China, and a partial eclipse will be seen over most of Asia, Africa, South and East Europe, northern Australia and parts of the Pacific and Indian Ocean. During this annular eclipse, the Sun and Moon will be conjoined 1 degree away from the North Node of destiny in Gemini. This energy is perfect for clarifying your life purpose.
The Eclipse will trigger opportunities to break old habits and become intentional about where you are going in life. This New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs just three days after Mercury goes retrograde in Cancer and three days before Venus stations direct in Gemini. With 5 planets now in retrograde, it is a perfect time for deep introspection and to review and release past goals that no longer resonate. It’s time to double down on what you want by implementing new plans for the future.
Thought of the Day – Focus on the present moment every time you remember to or every time when you discover that you are lost in the world of thought. There’s more going on in the present than you think. If you believe you are missing out on something if you aren’t constantly running a dialogue in your head, you are actually missing out on what is right in front of you. Inspiration comes through the quiet moments, so be still and listen. Act as though something miraculous is about to happen and you don’t want to miss it. That is the way to be in the present moment, the only thing that really exists.
Have a special new moon and solar eclipse day.
“We all shine on…like the moon and the stars and the sun…we all shine on…come on and on and on…”
