Total Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Cancer
July 21-22, 2009 (10:35pm EDT on July 21)
 
Hi, it's me again. Just a quick note RE the Total Solar Eclipse (TSE) which is occurring today - July 21, 2009 - at 10:35pm EDT (7:35pm PDT). The Eclipse shadow will be seen by the naked eye primarily over China and India on July 22nd.
 
I just wanted to offer a brief update concerning working with the eclipse energies. For a longer de-briefing, the 23-page Total Solar Eclipse e-book (see below) is still available. It provides more detailed information on eclipses in general, this eclipse in particular, and the energetic signature of this experience.
 
Keep in mind that the heart of this Eclipse Portal (which has 3 eclipses) opened on June 22 (Summer Solstice/New Moon), peaks on July 22 (the TSE), and closes around August 19 with the New Moon in Leo.
 
So you can work with the eclipse energies throughout that entire time, and the e-book can inform your work. If you have purchased the e-book, the brief comments here will add to your understanding of this eclipse.
  
P.S. astrologers: this 'eclipse of the century' is exact on my own moon in the sign of cancer. Need I say more? :)
 
Blessings of Love
Carol

The Moon Walks Across the Sun
 
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. - Neil Armstrong, the first human to walk on the moon, July 20, 1969
 
After an orange cloud, that formed as a result of a dust storm over the Sahara and caught up by air currents, reached the Philippines and settled there with rain, I understood that we are all sailing in the same boat. -  Astronaut Vladimir Kovalyonok (Astronaut)
 
There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew. - Marshall McLuhan
 
 
I know I'm not the only one who has noticed the strange "coincidences" surrounding all things MOON lately. Walter Cronkite's death over the weekend brought the 1969 Moon Landing into focus for all of the world. Then, only a few days later, on July 20, we had the 40th anniversary of the Moon Landing. Only to be followed just one day later by the moon-blots-out-sun 'eclipse of the century' on July 21-22.
 
moon shadow moon walk moon landingIn addition, this Eclipse Portal opened on June 22 with the Summer Solstice/New Moon, and only days later (on June 25) Michael Jackson died suddenly. A strange aside: he was famous for that dance-step of the 1980's - the (you guessed it) Moon Walk.
 
Really, that's exactly what happens at the time of a Total Solar Eclipse: the Moon Walks Across the Sun. Our attention is being drawn upward and to the Moon specifically. Today the moon will extinguish the sun in what is being called 'the eclipse of the century' by many astronomers and astrologers. So, how to work with these energies?
 
KEY #1: this TSE is in the zodiac sign of Cancer. Cancer is all about security, nurturing (of self and others), mother (you as a mother, and also 'mother issues'), food (including comfort food), safety, nesting, taking care of your 'babies' (not only children but books, projects and etc). Sensitive Cancerian is known to crawl back into his/her shell due to heightened sensitivity and emotional overflow. The key thing to ask yourself is: where does my security come from? You might be feeling insecure under the influence of this TSE. Listen to what your insecurities are telling you. What are you afraid of? What makes you feel 'not safe'?
 
KEY #2: When the Moon blots out the Sun, ask yourself: what do I want to be blotted out in my life? What do I want to be eclipsed so that something else can take the spotlight? In fact, you can allow your insecurities to be extinguished. Keep in mind that whatever ends at the time of a Total Solar Eclipse will probably not Restart again. Ever.
 
You can use this energy consciously. How? Through MEDITATION.
 
In Buddhist tradition, eclipses are observed as high holy days because they amplify our prayers and intent exponentially. What we hold in our thought and intention at these times reverberates throughout time, space and all dimensions. - Allison Rae
 
However you meditate - whatever your practice is - it is a good idea to do it at the time of the Eclipse if at all possible. Keep it simple, all you have to do is sit quietly with the energies. And keep in mind that the Eclipse Portal lasts through August 19th, so you can practice this exercise throughout that entire time. There are two levels to this:

(1) For your own spiritual progress. The eclipse can help you to diminish the ego's (the little self's) grip on you. The term eclipse is derived from the ancient Greek and is translated as: 'I cease to exist,' or 'I am absent.' Total Solar Eclipses have often been referred to as THE EYE OF GOD. And so i (the little i) can cease to exist, so that the EYE can exist. i (the little i) can be absent so that THE EYE can be present. TSE's are a spiritual wind at your back towards enlightenment. (Note: the e-book contains alot more information on this subject.)
 
The Eye of God(2) For Humanity. This eclipse is massive in many ways. The length of time the Moon covers the Sun (totality) is nearly the maximum possible, the fact that the the Moon's shadow is only 275 miles north of the center of the earth (unusual centrality), and the fact that the land mass the shadow will descend upon is crammed with people. There are huge HUGE populations in the sweeping totality of this eclipse and they are vulnerable. Four of China's 10 largest cities (14 million people by conservative estimate) are in the path of totality. And that's not even counting the swath of land the Shadow will touch in India. That's A LOT of people.
 
One of the astrological energy signatures of this eclipse is: "This family of eclipses is concerned with the need to make sudden reforms. Old ideas or methods will fail and new systems are required to deal with the events brought out by the eclipse. Any blocks could be violently or tragically removed."

We can help on an energetic level. Simply pray for gentle effects and hold the beings in the path of this eclipse in quiet love.
 
In addition, the earth itself is vulnerable. It is being "cracked open down the middle" and then STARED at for nearly 7 minutes by the Eye of God. The fallout of this eclipse could be substantial. We can raise our consciousness toward more positive effects.
 
Examine your own insecurities, meditate (go through the portal of The Eye of God) and send loving wishes for Humanity and the Earth through that portal. For more details, you can purchase the e-book, which includes some of my own handmade drawings to illustrate the energy of the portal.

Sample e-Book Content (peekaboo)
 
Eclipses amplify whatever we're doing by millions of times. So make good karma nowand try not to be harmful in any way. Say your prayers, make your wishes, do your mantras, and sing your chants before you go to bed. - Vickie Noble 
 
Of all the planets in this solar system, only earth witnesses close-fitting Solar Eclipses. But they won't last forever! eclipse shadowThe Moon is moving very slowly away from the Earth. There will come a time when it will be too far to cover the Sun completely. The last total eclipse of the Sun will occur roughly 700 million years from now.  

"When determined by length (6 minutes 39 seconds) and centrality (the umbra only 275 miles north of the center of the earth) no other eclipse will surpass the July 21-22, 2009 TSE until 2114. Seven minute eclipses are rare. There are no 7-minute eclipses in this century and this one will be the only 6 minute (39 seconds) eclipse in this century." Daniel Giamario
 
"The sun is dangerous. If you look straight at the sun through any telescope or binoculars, you will focus all the sun's light and heat onto your eye and you will blind yourself, perhaps permanently. Only when the sun is totally eclipsed and you see the corona, is it totally safe to look at the sun." Sir Patrick Moore

A Total Solar Eclipse is a very calm, lovely sight. Strange, wavy lines called shadow bands can be seen on the Earth's surface. Animals spontaneously go to sleep.
 
Conquerors used eclipses to their advantage against unknowing indigenous cultures.  In 1504, while stranded on Jamaica, Christopher Columbus "predicted" a lunar eclipse on February 29th of that year. This prediction was based on celestial tables that he had brought with him, thereby intimidating the island's natives into continuing to provision him and his men, saving them from death by starvation.

Did you know that Einstein relied on an eclipse to prove his Theory of Relativity? In addition, the May 19, 1919 "Einstein Eclipse" is in the same "family" (Saros Cycle) of eclipses as the current July 22, 2009 TSE.

Eclipses are like ... a compression chamber, light-flickering, reality-jumping, eye of the needle lightning-storm-earthquake, solar system reboot and human software upgrade with no restart button

This eclipse is kind of like a reservoir which holds all of the information from our collective and personal past. It is the Akashic Records (a.k.a. the Book of Life) for Humanity and for humans.

eclipseThe upcoming August 5, 2009 (minor) eclipse is the Full Moon of Vision Quest which can create crystal-clear communion with the Ascended Masters and other celestial beings (Angels, Archangels, Guides and etc.)

I cease to exist, so that the EYE can exist. I am absent, so that the EYE can be present. The solar sun is a step-down transformer of energy-information from the higher sun, called the Central Sun - or, in some literature, THE EYE OF BUDDHA.
