Planting the Seeds of Tomorrow
3-20-15
New Moon @ 4:36am
Solar Eclipse @ 4:45am
Spring Equinox @ 5:45pm
This New Seed Moon Eclipse lands on the Spring Equinox this
year, also called Ostara (which is also National Astrology Day, as the sun
returns to the first sign of the zodiac, Aries). But before both the moon and sun move into Aries, the New
Moon Eclipse highlights the lessons of the last degree of Pisces.
Every New Moon is a time for new beginnings, and the same
goes for the Spring Equinox.
Though while we are starting something new, the Eclipse may occult some
of the light and energy we are putting forth, facing us with our shadow from
the start. Each eclipse brings up
themes that will be present for six months, until the next eclipse window
begins. So while a new moon’s
energy can be felt for a month, and an equinox for a season…the eclipse energy
will hang around for half a year.
To add to that, the Uranus-Pluto square series just brought in a load of
energy for clearing out the old and planning to rebuild something better during
the last part of the previous waning moon.
New Moon Eclipse in the 30th Degree of Pisces
The Sabian Symbol for this degree is ‘A majestic rock
formation resembling a face is idealized by a boy who takes it as his ideal of
greatness; as he grows up, he begins to resemble it’. This is a symbol of envisioning an ideal and becoming
it. What do you idealize? This image we try to project is much greater
than us, but as we admire and try to emulate it…we take on some of those
characteristics as we grow into who we are meant to become. The rock formation in this image is
created by Mother Nature herself; not by man. She created it to show who we can be.
The boy in this image gazes up at the stone face in
awe. It commands respect in a
gentle and quiet way. It shows a
solid character at peace with its surroundings. There is a sense of immortality to it…an ancient and enduring
truth.
This is a time to work on defining and manifesting goals and
ideals in our lives. We must be
clear about it. What do you
want? Who and where do you want to
be in this life? With clear
intent, we can plant those seeds now.
The shadow side of this image that may come up with the
eclipse is when we project the wrong kind of image…one that doesn’t line up
with what we intended. It may be
that we are trying too hard to live up to the ideals that others project upon
us…or that we are unsure and vacillate between what we think we should be for
others and what we really are. The
key is to not get caught up in superficial ideals. Many may look in the mirror at this time and see only what
they don’t like about themselves being reflected back to them. The more conscious thought you give to
the negative, the more the negative is reflected.
Spring Equinox
Every Springtime, the Sun returns to the first degree of the
zodiac in Aries. The Sabian Symbol
for the 1st degree of Aries is “A woman emerges from the ocean; a
seal embraces her”. It is all
about creative beginnings now. Each
individual has the potential now to arise from the collective and actualize
their destiny in society and in the planetary organism of the Earth.
With every new beginning, something is often left
behind. This is a quiet step out
of the collective unconscious (symbolized by the ocean) and into individual
consciousness…but not a separation.
This image speaks of mermaids and the Selkie myth…where the woman is of
two worlds. This is when the seed
germinates, having to pierce through the crust of the soil still covered with
the remains of the past. It is
about potentiality more than actual presence. The impulse is to be, not to assert the self. Every potentiality contains the
two-fold possibility of success or failure. The seal embracing the woman is not only a nod to the Selkie
myth, but also is symbolic of being welcomed into concrete manifestation from
those who represent our past or our origin…or even others who are also trying
to ‘emerge’ and ‘become’ as well.
Finding your feet and reaching solid ground is part of the
process, and may take some getting used to as you step into this new
arena. Whatever is emerging,
either in you or around you, needs to be accepted, welcomed and nurtured. This includes embracing the shadow that
will likely surface, and instead of regressing back into the sea to avoid it
you will need to face it and move forward with it. Don’t be discouraged by setbacks. Be fearless in the face of the future, and work now to
create the best of your potential.
Love and Gratitude,
