Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon in Capricorn on July 7th, 2009
by Dipali Desai
‘It is time. The clock ticks and every second counts. No time to waste in indulging in what ifs… that will never end. Compassion, kindness, love with each click. Listen quietly and you shall hear the subtle language of the emotional self speaking to you through the heart. Hear fully what cries out in loneliness or sorrow. Hear what sings for joy and feels fulfilled. Your attention is needed in the area which is parched, dry of sensitivity and rich feelings.
You are presented with an open gateway opportunity to take slow careful steps up the spiral staircase. Or you may continue sliding downwards on the Bannister and revisiting the basement – over and over again. Reach beyond your old limits. Let yourself break free of the illusory shackles that bind you long enough to venture onto the spiral staircase upwards. Call upon the wisdom, integrity and strength that resides in you to make a clear firm and tangible decision to walk up – to continue evolving upon your Soul’s journey through the physical world. You are a part of the physical world and yet – not totally of it. Being aligned with your higher purpose and grounded with the feet upon the earth is one of the biggest gifts you can provide to yourself.’ ~ Dipali
Lunar Eclipse /Full Moon in Capricorn at 15 degrees on July 7th, 2009
The first thing to say here is that this full moon will have a extra big dollop of emotional waves and fluctuations. Neither good nor bad. It simply is. Our emotions will be aroused even more than normal during this time (give about four days before and after the actual date as a window period). The emotional self will be prodded and given executive orders from top management (Soul/Consciousness) to address the significant issues. Insecurities and inadequacies may be tossed up from the bottom of the emotional ocean. Life will not be put on hold. The themes bobbing in the waters are; patience, integrity, emotional maturity, pragmatism and taking things a step at a time.
There may be emotional instability of feeling of being out of internal alignment with your Soul or Spirit. The flashing beacon is your lighthouse to offer you the way to shore from the choppy waters of the past. Capricorn symbolism invites us to be responsible with our emotional expression and watch how much we tend to projectile our “stuff” onto others claiming it is their fault. We need to be responsible for our own emotional state and issues. It is worthwhile to pause and reflect on the entire situation or issue from a fresh standpoint after the initial splash of emotion erupts. Some people may feel isolated, lonely, parched emotionally and a deep “lack” for more intimate emotional bonding. Notice what comes up for you during this time it will give you awareness about yourself, relationships and life.
Look for opportunities to apply healthy limits of how far you are willing to go and compromise before you leave your space of integrity altogether and end up resenting the situation, project or person. We can look at the way in which we may also fall into the trap of our shortcomings which only fuels the self-imposed limitations which can over time become very rigid. You may even tend to notice how the past or tradition is dictating to you “how to live life” instead of you listening to your Soul’s guidance and wisdom.
Themes
The theme around relationship with the “authority figures and father figures” may also arise during this Full Moon in Capricorn and Lunar Eclipse. Another stage to let go of grievances or spots where you have allowed your emotions to be barren or dry due to past pains or sorrows. You may even see how you feel slightly paralyzed psychologically. Any issue that comes up now is bit extra sensitive so be loving and compassionate with yourself or others as you move through the energy and issue(s). Tears can be soothing and help you flush out the toxins within the body. Share with someone whom you trust to get more objective viewpoint and understanding. Flower essences or gemstones may also help you to heal and restore the balance energetically.
The Moon in Capricorn making a positive and easy connection to Saturn in Virgo – concrete and tangible steps are possible. Nice support from Saturn in Virgo indicates strong growth is possible if you put in genuine effort. You may find it is easier to let go because you feel the ’support’ or steadiness of the energy. Whatever is not functioning efficiently on an emotional level may be seen in its form.
It is time for follow through, not just crying about it. Make a real change in within yourself or life. Be pragmatic about the approach for there is easy grounded energy to back up those actions now. Now is the time to make realistic goals, small increments at at time so you fulfill all of it to the end. There is a “chance or opportunity” Sun/Saturn symbolism; to shed more light or awareness and heal/ make amends with males or father figure within this astrological cycle.
Move it – Get the Body Going
Feet on the floor please! Toes in the grass, feel the soil on the earth. Physical body movement will be a huge aid in transforming part of the stuck or obstructed energy. Intentionally place your concentration upon; yoga,tai chi, martial arts, qi gong or any physical activity which is supportive in your alignment and integration process. Taking a hike up a mountain, being in a park, gardening, sitting near a tree are additional ways to help ground the energy.
Re-balance
If you find yourself dry or barren emotionally, go sit near a running brook, river or ocean to help remind you to allow the emotions to flow instead of drying up. This will help re-balance the energy in the emotional level.
General Tidbit About Eclipses:
From my experience eclipses activate things if it is within a close degree (within 1-3 degrees) of a natal planet in the natal chart. Not everyone will feel or experience things with eclipses in the same way, but that does not mean even on the subtle levels things are not activated, they are.
Astrological signs that will be zeroing in on this more closely; Capricorn, Cancer, Libra and Aries – since the Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon is in Capricorn.
