The "new" is upon us! When the Sun and Moon meet (conjoin) in the sky every month, it is usually the start of a new solar-lunar cycle. This month, this conjunction occurs on Saturday, April 30, 4:28 PM* (EDT), and is in 10 Taurus. It is also extra special! First, it happens very close to Uranus (14 Taurus), the destroyer of old forms and bringer of the new. And, we will have an eclipse!
|
The Sun and the Moon conjoin every month, but the Moon is usually just above or just below the Sun to interfere with its light. Approximately twice a year, however, the Moon crosses the ecliptic (the plane where the Sun is), and when that happens, we see eclipses. During New Moon, the Moon goes in front of the Sun and overshadows it to cause a Solar eclipse. Two weeks earlier or after, the Earth passes in front of the Full Moon to create a Lunar Eclipse. During eclipse season, the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are within the same plane and overshadow each other.
|
Solar eclipses are symbols of changes and new cycles, while Lunar eclipses correlate with completion and letting go of old forms. When the Solar Eclipse happens this Saturday (or Sunday for East Asia and Australia), The Taurus/Large Intestine will be already quite strained from hosting Uranus for quite a while. Let's give it a boost.

I personally find this hold not the most comfortable, so I have modified it for myself. You can see all alternatives that I know here.

And while harmonizing Large Intestine Function Energy, don't forget to set up a mental intent for new directions in life. What do you wish to have in life? What are you ready to let go of?

Have you downloaded The Cycles of Life booklet, yet? Even if you did, I'd recommend reloading it. I have made minor revisions and added an Appendix C with astrological symbols.
