New! Total Solar Eclipse in Leo Diet!
Eric Francis
Dear Friend and Reader:
There is no diet that can get you to lose 50 pounds in a week, but if you use the power of eclipses, you can take a week and create a pattern that will help you do just about anything you want or need. Most people feel stuck in their own lives to some real (and frustrating) extent. We live in patterns, and eclipses help us shift the existing modes of existence and welcome new ones. If we used eclipses as conscious leverage points to get unstuck, we would not feel so wedged into our own lives.
Today as of 6:55 am EDT, the Sun has arrived in Leo. Leo is the sign of the Sun, our central source of power, light, heat and awareness. All of the energy we use on Earth comes from the Sun: be it in the form of trees, oil or solar power. Leo is a fixed sign, aligned with three others on the fixed cross of the heavens — Taurus, Scorpio and Aquarius. It represents the peak of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and of winter in the Southern Hemisphere, though winter tends to be a lot warmer on the south side of the planet than up in say Alaska, Finland or Maine.
This year’s Leo season arrives with a pair of eclipses; this happens twice a year, each year’s sets of events always coming a couple of weeks earlier than the prior ones. (The lunar nodes, which tell us approximately where the next eclipses are going to happen, move retrograde on average, so the eclipses get earlier. They are currently in mid-Leo/Aquarius.)
Eclipses bring shifts in continuity and they help us establish patterns and cultivate the future in a direct, immediate and dependable way. They are convenient (or at times, not so convenient) times to make changes that take root. If you want to use the influence of these eclipses now, make choices and conduct yourself in such a way that what you want to create is set in motion by the time the events occur. In general, the energy pattern you establish at the time of eclipses is the pattern you will hold onto for the next six months or a year.
Setting one thing in motion generally means ending something else; so this is an equally useful time to get unstuck. Leo represents one’s sense of identity, one’s expression in the world, one’s sense of glory, of value and — most significantly — of duty and responsibility. So the central question of a Leo eclipse is, how do you define yourself? Yes, internally, but mainly, by what mode of expression? Can you focus your identity sufficiently to express that identity?
As for when — we will experience a total eclipse of the Sun in Leo on Aug. 1. It is exactly square the asteroid Vesta, which itself represents the expression of creative and sexual energy and more to the point, the reason we would choose to make that expression. Are we doing it “for its own sake,” or “for some other purpose”?
The eclipse is also conjunct Mercury in Leo; and Venus in Leo is opposite Neptune, suggesting that we ask ourselves the question, what is real and what is not, where our affections are concerned? The answer (in Neptune style) may take some time to work out, because it tends to take us a while to see through the idealism of Neptune.
The Leo total solar eclipse is pretty extraordinary, in part due to the fact that solar eclipses in this sign have been quite rare in recent decades. Also, a few hours after the Moon eclipses the Sun, it eclipses Mercury. So we have the image of the seed of a new idea in a new era of time, which is predicated on closing a chapter and forgetting an old idea.
Often, we want to welcome the new without letting go of what is old, what no longer works, or no longer has a purpose. Keep your eyes open for developments on both sides of that equation.
By the time of the Aquarius Full Moon and lunar eclipse on the 16th, this idea can develop into a full-on vision for what is possible — and mind you, that may mean embracing the reality of something that seemed unlikely or impossible just yesterday.
Very truly yours,
Eric Francis

Dear Family:
I am having car problems. Al my dash lights are on and cannot figure out what is wrong...nor can the mechanics...can electrical stuff happen with an eclipse? Can my energy be affecting the car? All the changes we are going through. Well..this is how I am starting the eclipse with the energies! My car has always been so faithful! Any ideas?
Love,
Spirit

(((Hiya Spirit!))) Well... something came to me so I'll share it. Cars are representative of our "vehicle through this physical life", or in other words they symbolically reveal what's going on with our physical bodies. And it seems yours is still being quite faithful! It's helping you!!  And if you read Celia Fenn's Earth Log today, she mentions the symptoms we may encounter and says this: [/size][/quote][/blockquote] So to be experiencing "electrical stuff" with your car may be a message to you about what's happening within your own light body vehicle, so to say. And that perhaps there's an imbalance and going inward and seeking to balance, or just resting, may be what's needed. When I think of electrical energies I immediately think of the need to "ground", btw, and was wondering if perhaps that's what's needed here for you. My sense is that when you sort out your own body, the car will stop reflecting the symptom. Hope that helps!  Sowelu |

Dear Sowelu: This is such good advice! Thankyou! I was on overload energetically yesterday when this happened! So I felt there may have been some transference from my body, but was not sure. Just getting over a broken r elbow which has considerable slowed me down for the last 5 weeks as I am right handed. I have felt out of balance for a while..and was when I fell after a long bike ride. Was just getting excited about a new camea I bought and wanted to get out and use it..but may have to do it from my bike till this settles down..lol! I just had my first published work in a San Diego Guide. So this month has been a roll for me! Am definitely creating my passion..just want my car and body to catch up..lol! Love all you guys, Cherub  |

Congratulations on getting published, Spirit! As my own guidance has told me, the physical is the last to adjust to change. And we're so connected to and reliant upon it for our expression that it's not uncommon to get frustrated with that level of our energies when pursuing our passion... unfortunately. Soon, is the feeling, all will be aligned just right for a smooth flow. Love you! Sowelu |

Dear Sowelu: Thanks so much! The physical part is really hard for me...I feel like this really old person. Can't catch my breath, have balance problems, and bouts of nausea that come from out of nowhere. I figure that has to do with th energetic changes and integrating them. Something new I have noticed is that I get really hot and sweat when it is normal temp here. I used to be cold all the itme...so go figure..what is that about? How are you doing with all of this? I know you are a sensitive, too. The 8-8-08 will be the real humdinger..than after that I think things will mellow out and we will be in a new portal of abundance....:-) Just to get through this part!! Lotsa Love, Spirit |

Awww ((((Hugs!)))) Just about every symptom ever noted... I feel. All of them, most of the time. But they move through rather swiftly for me, too. In other words, every influx of new energies enters and moves through, complete with all the symptoms, and leaves. Then the next wave, and the next, etc. on through all the frequencies of each. I work on it 24/7, pretty much. My life path has had to cover the entire spectrum of the human condition, so I don't get exempt from any nuance of feeling or blockage, it seems. And my function has a lot to do with moving essential energies, so I can't just be patient or make space for them or wait for them to do their thing... I typically have to actually discover what they are from their deep recesses in consciousness and bring light to them and integrate them to the heart. But I don't think about the symptoms all that much if I can help it, don't attach in any way, and just remind myself there's a process underway, mostly. I tend to rest a LOT more than most people, though... I don't have a job to go to or any of that. This... IS my life and job and all that. So it's a little different for me, maybe, not sure. The heat is something I'm very familiar with, having encountered it back in 2001 rarely has it left for very long since. The coldness is something I've recently started to deal with more often, as well. My sense is that the heat is indicative of denser energies (anger, frustration, "issues" of some emotional kind) and the cold is indicative of higher or lighter energies. That often translates to heat=processing, cold=integration complete and now entering higher frequencies. In my experience, at least. Best to you through this transit, Spirit!! Love you! Sowelu |
