Solar Eclipse: 25 Oct 2022

The upcoming solar eclipse occurs in realsky Libra, in the Nakshatra of Swati. Commonly known as Arcturus, Swati is the ‘wind that cuts like a sword’.

(Avoid any major decisions in the 5 days before and after the eclipse)

Change is coming. We may ‘know’ this from a logical level; now is the time we learn this on a spiritual, cellular level. All attachments and conditionings from old ways will be stripped bare.

A healing crisis. When the dysfunction that has kept us in familiar security all these years is being revealed, is being obliterated — we cannot help but to feel the pain and despair at seeing the truth. Truth is hard and harsh; yet it is also liberating.

Dysfunction of toxic relationships being viewed as ‘normal’ or ‘loyal’ or ‘devoted’ is being called-out as what it truly is: a hostage situation bound by the shared karma of shame.

That in order to stay in a ‘shamed reality’, one feels compelled to shame and punish others who desire self-love and forgiveness.

“How dare you love yourself when I do not know how?”

Or. Self-shaming and self-criticizing for wanting to break free, to end the cycle of shame or living a guilt-driven life. Opportunity to cease such inner wars.

Call upon the great Ganesha, tamer of such beasts, to nullify the serpent of shame. Ruled by Vayu, the unruly ego-mind Ahamkara which devours all that is bright and inspired, justifying its behavior with theories from old books.

Yet when calmed by the Divine Hand, by cultivated wisdom, Vayu becomes the breath which stirs life from within.

At the end of the eclipse window, a new creative force awaits. Change is never easy. Yet what is true and meaningful — our dharma — is always worth fighting for.

Many relationships have completed their karmic run; time to let go.

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha.

Keep your eyes on the prize. Swati is also the star of Masterful Beings, the light seed which ripens from within. May victory be yours.

Hari Om.
