Afterthoughts of the Solar Eclipse and An Epiphany on Defining "The Great Awakening"

Hello, Hello, My Beautiful Soul Tribe! How are you doing this week? How has the Solar Eclipse energy felt in your life? I have been steadily working energetically and physically, the weeks surreally fusing together like pouring paint that swirls and rolls down a canvas. It has been invigorating, motivating, and well. On the Mom side of things, my baby turned 14 this week. I am thrilled and sad at the same time to watching my gorgeous girl turn into a woman, my pride in how she handles herself, her ambition, the way she maturely speaks with her friends and addresses issues that in my day, would have been a bit uncomfortable. I find that a bit hilarious even though I can still feel the depts of insecurity that kept me so uncomfortable for ages about what others thought, more specifically, their feelings I felt. My Uranus opposition and the beautiful wisdom of aging and reaching my breaking point, stopped the need to repress most of what I have to say these last several years. I am so glad, and extremely grateful to be here in this spot of confidence, along with the ability to let words pour out. I am enjoying this newfound claim of myself that, simply put, I refuse to apologize for anymore.

There are several epiphanies that came through this week. My work with Reiki and Bodywork I was impressed and awed and ready for more, listening to my clients having their own breakthroughs and feeling absolutely excited about their moments of awakening, although some were unaware that that was even happening. The idea that Source is the All and where some entities thought they could prevent certain things through their poison, the strength, Faith, and awareness was busting that shit up!! Yes, excited to see where poison is not working, offering a renewed Faith, a deeper Faith, that sends those roots even further into this new crystalline grid. And here we have the Great Awakening.

This was an idea that spewed forth after listening to some of these stories this week. As the Solar Eclipse shined so beautifully conjunct to my Pluto regrade conjunct Merlin and Vertex conjunct Anubis and Queen in my 6th house, Chariklo, Kaali, Orpheus, Sekhmet, and Daphne were in opposition, pushing the balance of subconscious creative kundalini shamanism and the profound meaning of it all was laser beamed into new ways, the potential there for the moments I will address and deepen those relationships. Not to mention the gifts of trines to my Moon conjunct Jupiter in Gemini, the sextiles to my Saturn in Leo and Neptune in Sagittarius, and yes, I will call the hard core-get-your-ass-moving-motivators to my Mars in Cancer, and Ceres in Capricorn, gifts as well. The push to honor my gut, hone my intuition on ever deepening levels, it’s natal Grand Trine to Uranus and my Sun offering their own depth of creative, enlightening spiritual endeavors. I am psyched. I love how in moments of old habits, I feel the push, find that beautiful nudge to just take one more step. And this is just the Solar Eclipse, we have until October 2nd of 2024 until the final Solar Eclipse in Leo,  the South Node traveling through Libra and the North Node through Aries, to accept and work with the downloads and lessons these ecliptic events again.

This weekend though, we are in between worlds, our Lunar Eclipse on the 28th being in Taurus and Scorpio. The Nodal lessons that deepened the lesson of ancestral layers as Scorpio ruthless purged and rummaged with his usual aggression. I worked a few of those eclipses last year in memory care, and holy cow! It was very easy to pick up on the theme when 95% of my patients came up and started talking about their parents as their memories regressed to their childhood. I was quite enamored with this energy and in complete amazement. Needless to say, I am quite excited about the upcoming energy of this eclipse in its finality until its next cycle in 2051. The North Node will be traveling through Scorpio, the South Node through Taurus in 2031.
​
We are pushed to reflect on these lessons, feeling into the transition between the nodal axis. The lessons, what we must let go, what no longer serves us, our gratitude for those lessons, our relief of those thing we did let go of, creating space for how and what will trigger us to new levels of consciousness, to bring back, to remember, the relationships, our soul tribe. Remember Aries is about the self, beginnings, seeing the world through a new lens, feeling our way through this new lens, and Libra, beauty, what holds us in awe, what helps us connect, where we find balance, and justice through love. Yes, love. After all, Libra is ruled by Venus. She wants nothing but beauty, and love, and to feel, and to encompass that fusion together to create relationships, at whatever level or theme that may be.

Speaking of reflection, the idea of “the Great Awakening,” has been rolling around in my head since the Eclipse. I have spoken about my “Great Awakening” a bit in some of my recent posts and I felt the need to elaborate of the definition. I have been gulping up so much knowledge recently, well, always, but this time, the knowledge has expanded in its dimensions and levels. As I listen to clients speak of their own experiences, I hold space for them, for Gaia, for the Source. The biggest part of my Great Awakening in the beginning was the purging. The purging of emotions, of hurt, betrayal, of lies told to me on the most recent levels, loss, grief, you  name it. It mostly had to do with the relationships I chose to get myself into looking for love as I threw my self-worth and boundaries down the tubes, creating some very toxic events. Somewhere in that mess, I had to remember what was possible, what I could do, and that dreams really could come true, and the ability I had to co-create with the Universe.

This time around, although there have definitely been themes with layers upon layers of realization and recognition to those issues mentioned above, it occurred to me that Sprit has been there from the get-go, taking advantage of events in my life to show me synchronicities and my abilities to tune in. I think back to my childhood and how often my mother told I spoke to my dead relatives, or how I rolled around in the grass, playing with dandelions while making crowns and blowing wishes, listening to my grandmother yell to stop playing with weeds, my defiant answer and self at 5 adamant about how they were certainly NOT WEEDS. Innately knowing they had their deeper purpose. Or my relationship with snakes, and the trees in my backyards. The maple tree, the lilac tree, my favorite mulberry tree and running barefoot with purple stains on the bottoms of my feet. Standing in front of the evergreens at 8 years old as my father prepared to cut them down, vehemently protesting. The tiger lilies and rose bushes that lined the fences. I played in nature as much as I could. I ran away to nature, always feeling at home. And the animals I would bring home or fall in love with. Gees, still happening at 45.

The Great Awakening is about remembering. Remembering what we came here to do. Remembering we are not alone. As a woman, remembering our Divine Femininity, how the Divine has been sequestered and violently punished if it has not been on the patriarchs’ term. In fact, the patriarch seems to have had every intention of us not ever knowing the Divine, both the Feminine and the Masculine. From not allowing anyone under a certain class to read, burning women, and men, for knowledge of herbs and accusing them of witchcraft, for demanding that there is only God to be worshipped in their way, when thousands of years, other forms of “relationship with Spirit was revered.” Stealing land and thousands of massacres to take that land and that demand conformity to that to that religion. Really?

The list goes on and on through the thousands of years. Religion became government, running the Nobility, and Kings and Queens, just as demanding to conform others, and if not, death and exile as penalties. Feudal systems, slaves in every single race known to man, not necessarily due to color, but as a socio-economic form of control. When religion began to lose its credibility, we can see how it split up and moved into medicine. I mean, as a nurse, I watch, and still do, see extremely condescending behavior towards patients, dismissing their intuition, just because they have not gone to school to be educated/indoctrinated. Oh yes, I so did say that. Somewhere along the line, medicine forgot that it takes two to tango, or sometimes more. The patient, and the patient’s Soul giving permission and willing to do the work, and the doctor listening, palpating, and honoring the patient’s knowledge of their own body that they have lived in, and then flowing with that intuition and knowledge to facilitate the process. Can you tell, just a bit passionate about this. There will definitely be more to come of those opinions.

But back to the Great Awakening. Because it is all of those events that have led people to idolize individuals and reject their own intuition, causing deep insecurities and issues of self-worth. I want to emphasize listening to your intuition and discernment, and standing in your own power to advocate for those gut feelings that creep up or hit you like lightning. You have your own way of really knowing your truth. You have your own mission to work with Source, and all of Source’s components. And Source knows how to get your attention, to speak to you in whatever language you understand, whatever muscle you practice. Listen, learn, and go with it. Enjoy this beautiful experience, even if there is some chaos in it. The beautiful cycles that help you learn what you really want, or don’t want, for where you are right now.
​
Embody these moments, my beautiful friends. I am holding space for those of you in the beginning of your Great Awakening.  I am excited for you. Those of you who are working on your next level of awakening and going through the contraction phase, and the expansion phase, I am holding space for you as well. Make these next two weeks a moment to honor the beginnings as endings occur and endings as beginnings occur. With that, I leave you in that space and send you gratitude, and love from the tip of my toes.
