January-February
Eclipses
On Monday, the Sun will rise in eclipse over southern Africa and set in eclipse
over parts of Australia and Indonesia, with Jupiter only two degrees away
in a near conjunction with the Sun and Moon in Aquarius.
Welcome to
the next world age.
Eclipses
break up energy, including long-established patterns that are ripe for
removal. Solar eclipses are super-charged new moons signaling major new
beginnings. Lunar eclipses bring to light what's been held in the individual
and collective subconscious that needs to be transformed in order for
the new patterns to take hold.
In other
words, this is a gamma-dose of transformational energy for planet Earth.
The January and February eclipses happen in Aquarius-Leo and could easily
be interpreted as an entree into the Aquarian Age. Both the New Moon Solar
Eclipse on January 26 and Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on February 9 feature
five planets in the sign of Aquarius.
The Solar
Eclipse will happen on Monday for parts of the world where it's visible.
For those in the West, the event occurs overnight Sunday into the early
hours of Monday morning. Eclipses are points of balance and illumination.
In Buddhist tradition, they are holy days reserved for prayer, reflection
and meditation on behalf of the collective. Our thoughts are amplified
exponentially through these portals created by the alignment of Sun, Earth
and Moon. The effects are felt whether the eclipse is visible or not.
Eclipses
happen in six-month and 18.6-year cycles. What's coming to completion
in these time periods for you, and what are you creating that's new? The
seeds of a new beginning are germinating now.
The entire
two weeks from January 26 through February 9 is one of the most powerful
periods this year. Reserve time for prayer and meditation during these
special alignments. The energies are ripe for seeding the Aquarian Age
consciousness of humanitarian service, love and equality within the Earth
grid.
New
Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius - January 26
The Sun and Moon meet in the sign of the next astrological age in this time
of new beginnings. In an annular eclipse, a narrow ring of the Sun is
visible beyond the dark Moon. This annular eclipse will be visible from
a wide track that traverses the Indian Ocean and western Indonesia. A
partial eclipse will be seen within the much larger path of the Moon's
penumbral shadow, which includes the southern third of Africa, Madagascar,
Australia, southeast India, Southeast Asia and Indonesia.
The annular
path begins in the South Atlantic at 6:06 AM GMT when the Moon's shadow
meets Earth and forms a 363-kilometre wide corridor. The point of greatest
eclipse takes place at 7:58 AM GMT. The entire event lasts about two hours.

Please note
that solar eclipses are not safe to view with the naked
eye. Special gear is needed to view or photograph all solar eclipses safely.
To maintain
balance and clarity during eclipse periods, eat root vegetables and dark,
leafy greens. Meditate daily. Honor your body's needs for nourishment
and rest. Keep a journal of messages and impressions that come into your
awareness. I'm offering special rates on Astro-Shamanism sessions throughout
this time to assist in realizing the full potential of these gateway alignments.
