The spirit behind the inner eye burns on despite it’s current cloudiness. This is not the time to resign yourself, for the danger we may be facing through this lunar eclipse in Pisces is the potential for the creative spirit to stagnate out of the sheer exhaustion that Summer’s end entails.
Instead of allowing ourselves to stagnate, this is a great time to retreat, even if just for a moment, so that you may recognize what these clouds are actually trying to make you see… Like a constellation.
Like a sieve that has caught too much debris and which the water of life can no longer flow through, it’s up to us to take a moment to see what truly stands between us and our potential flow.
This requires us to surrender our old limiting stories again and again, for it’s these that trip up the flow, that cloud our sense of what’s true, and that resist our potential for love and joy in the here and now.
These stories are often like a cataract which layer over of our clarity of vision, and one of the easiest stories we overlook involve the ways in which we try to escape. Whether it is overwhelm, confrontation, pain or big emotions, there’s no limit to what the vulnerable parts of ourselves hope to bypass.
But this lunar eclipse in Pisces is letting us know that it’s within those very perceived threats to our safety that lies the gift of awakening, of expanding our capacity for ALL, and of remembering our own divinity…
We often hold dreams, visions and beliefs that some part of ourselves won’t allow us to embody and live out…
Sometimes it is because our dreams are simply too big for us to carry out alone. Sometimes it is because our visions are not conducive to the reality we find ourselves in. Sometimes it is because our beliefs can’t seem to overpower our unconscious patterns and programming.
This creates the environment for those dreams, visions and beliefs to become the very thing which block us from simply moving forward in a meaningful way for they become wrapped in shame and self-judgement…
This place of being stuck is where most of us stop and then turn to our chosen channels of bypassing the discomfort of it all.
But this eclipse is instead asking you to get out of autopilot, dive deeper into your inner Piscean sea and to not be afraid of getting lost in the free flowing expanse. To trust that everything will be taken care of up on the shore…
Right now, you’re being invited to find within yourself a way to make just one element of your dream possible, to give form to just one sliver of your vision, and to bring simple awareness and admission to just one way in which your a recent reaction you had to life did not align with your beliefs.
In alchemical distillation, which is so beautifully aligned with this lunar eclipse, we are in a process of refining our spirits over and over again, clarifying them, until they are able to reach their potential, at which point they get drawn back into matter— back into the physical world and the physical body, creating the philosopher’s stone…
What ways are you being asked to purify the parts of you that lie beyond the physical so that they may be that much more potent, effective and true to meaningfully shape the world around you?
Many blessings,
Anna
