New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius- Sekhmet’s Revival
In situations where extreme polarization is present it is all too easy to contribute to the divide. This is such a natural response— to cling to the side that aligns with our true moral compass and/or to cling to the side that will ensure our belonging to our community— where we may have found connection, truth, and understanding in the past…
2025 and 2026, astrologically speaking, were never going to be easy…
We all know it’s never easy to walk through the alchemical fires of transformation, even with the knowing that there is something so much better on the others side. With the generational planets changing signs this rapidly, humanity is in the middle of a seismic shift, creating a massive pattern interrupt that can’t help but shake us to the very core of everything we thought we knew.
Being exposed to so much upheaval, tragedy and violence, whether it is behind a screen or whether it is happening before our very eyes, is an assault on the human system. While it is important that we remain true to our values, we also must listen to our sensitive bodies and impressionable psyches at this time when they tell us to take loving care of ourselves…
If you are feeling drained, depressed and confused as the world appears to be burning with blatant manipulation, lies and injustices at the hands of those who have been so tragically misguided, this full moon in Leo is the time to return to the guiding wisdom and intelligence of the heart.
That is where your power lies.
Sekhmet, the righteous Egyptian goddess known as “she who upholds Ma’at”, is awakening right now in the hearts of us all, and she is hungry for a revolution to restore the cosmic order.
Do you feel it?
According to one of my teachers, Ronnie Pontiac, who officially introduced me into the mysteries of Sekhmet, she was a once highly revered and worshiped goddess during the New Kingdom (1549–1292 BCE) and all but disappeared for nearly 2,000 years before she began to trickle her way back into collective consciousness. However, she didn’t disappear for no reason and her disappearing act was not voluntary; it was tactfully enforced in both her mythos and her living story.
She was said to be a vengeful goddess who’s rage was too destructive.
But I know in my heart that just like nearly every other goddess that has been worshiped by a devoted following and then scapegoated, as my friend Lake Taylor beautifully described to me recently, Sekhmet’s power was threatening to those who grasped for absolute power, mirroring her most popular myth…
It isn’t that Sekhmet is vengeful; it was that she loves so very deeply that she rises from the waters of deception with a heart as light as a feather; that she devotes herself to alchemizing the blood of the wicked into the medicine that the world needs; and that she dedicates herself to restoring balance, health and truth to All…
Sekhmet is awakening and her power cannot be contained any longer.
It’s bursting out the seams of collective consciousness, asking us to do the most righteous of acts…
To respond to the injustices and tragedy’s of life from our unifying hearts, rather than our dividing minds.
When we do this, we cannot help but recognize that no quality of humanity exists without that same quality existing within our individual selves—
for to be at war with others is to be at war with ourselves every. single. time.
As the great Kahlil Gibran writes in his timeless book, The Prophet, on Crime and Punishment…
“Oftentimes have I heard you speak of one who commits a wrong as though he were not one of you, but a stranger unto you and an intruder upon your world.
But I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you,
So the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
And as a single leaf turns yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree,
So the wrong-doer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all.
Like a procession you walk together towards your god-self.
You are the way and the wayfarers.
And when one of you falls down he falls for those behind him, a caution against the stumbling stone.
Ay, and he falls for those ahead of him, who though faster and surer of foot, yet removed not the stumbling stone.”
It seems to me that that stumbling stone is representative of all of the hate and resentment that has tripped up humanity for far too long and it’s time to remove it from our path now. It has no place in our growth as a species.
Both Sekhmet and this Full Moon in Leo uphold this wisdom, reminding us that to love fiercely those who act against our will may very well be the most righteous act of all.
With immense love,
Anna
