TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE JULY 22, 2009

The Earth orbit, as you know, has been changing as has its tilt and magnetic fields. Many individuals will have a role before, during and after this eclipse shift to prepare the full in-set of 5th domain energy on this planet. What does this mean? Masters and higher domain beings in and out of form, each with their own roles, will prepare this planet for this magnetic confluence of the two orbs. The Moon is a giver of life; the Sun holds all encoding for the Plan as written for the evolution of this planet and the solar system. The confluence of energies on this day, with a direct heads-on magnetic confluence will allow added electro-magnetic energy to the placement and settling in of all that has been laid to date in regard to encoding and energetic layers, setting them permanently on all orbs of the solar system including Earth. There is then no going back. And, with the stabilization of the encoding and energies there will be the same in each life form, including human.

Many consider energetic shifts only in regard to Earth and only in regard to human life. Remember, all that is occurring effects the entire solar system and all life throughout the solar system. Each species has chosen collectively whether to remain or leave, and each human has chosen to remain and evolve or leave. These decisions are set-in with this stabilization process.

This confluence is one of the major actions that will occur cosmically from this point to the final shift into fifth domain energies on this planet on 12.31.2011. All life that is leaving will do so through the route of their soul’s choice – and the leaving will accelerate after the eclipse as there is diminishing purpose to stay. For all life that is staying, throughout the solar system, all encoding and energy within them and without will stabilize and expand to facilitate their personal and species specific evolution – including humans.

There is a three day window of effect from a cosmic view, July 21 from 12 midnight London, England (GMT) time to July 23, 7 PM London, England (GMT) time. Effect of the eclipse is both worldwide and throughout the solar system, including our Sun and Moon as Earth is the origination point for these evolutionary shifts. You do not need to travel to the eclipse area in Asia and the Pacific (see NASA site for specifics) to experience the effect. Please also note that July 23, 7:00 PM GMT is July 24, 7 AM at the Marshall Islands – the relative end point of visualization of the eclipse. Check your time zone (see links below). For instance, those in the US, using the Denver, Colorado time zone, and convert to your time zone. The three days of effect, and relative time in Mountain Time begins July 20 at 6 PM and ends July 23 at 1 PM.

See the following link to convert the time for your area: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html.

For tracking information and date/time of the actual eclipse see NASA’s site at: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEmono/TSE2009/TSE2009.html.

We recommend that you raise your awareness to this event and its effect on you and all life, including orbs. That you release any and all resistance to the settling in of your expansion and evolution back to your natal self, your soul. Allow times of stillness, meditation, contemplation, and rest for integration during each of these three days. Surrender to and embrace the shifts that will be occurring within and without your form. Afterward, expect a continuation of the internal process that will be reflected in your state of being. Hold the intention for the smooth and effortless transition for all life to a higher state of awareness with harm to none.

You may want to use the following intention in your times of Contemplation

I am whole in divine perfection. I hold this for all life.

A post note: It is important to remember that there are many, many actions that have and will be taken energetically to bring the evolution of all life to the new vibration of the fifth domain. This is only one; however this is a sentinel event. There will be two more such events before the final shift on 12.31.2011 that you may or may not be aware of and/or participate in. According to your state of consciousness you will know what to do and when. Follow this knowing to accelerate your conscious evolution from day-to-day just as you do with this global gathering in conscious and collective participation and effect on July 22 of this year.

According to NASA (see web site link above for more information)

On Wednesday, 2009 July 22, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half of Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. After leaving mainland Asia, the path crosses Japan's Ryukyu Islands and curves southeast through the Pacific Ocean where the maximum duration of totality reaches 6 min 39 s. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes most of eastern Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Ocean…

The annular path begins in the South Atlantic at 06:06 UT when the Moon's antumbral shadow meets Earth and forms a 363 kilometer wide corridor. Traveling eastward, the shadow quickly sweeps south of the African continent, missing it by approximately 900 kilometers. Slowly curving to the northeast the path crosses the southern Indian Ocean. Greatest eclipse[1] takes place at 07:58:39 UT when the eclipse magnitude[2] will reach 0.9282. At this instant, the annular duration is 7 minutes 54 seconds, the path width is 280 kilometers and the Sun is 73° above the flat horizon formed by the open ocean. The central track continues northeast where it finally encounters land in the form of the Cocos Islands and onward to southern Sumatra and western Java (Figure 2). At 09:40 UT, the central line duration is 6 minutes 18 seconds and the Sun's altitude at 25°. In its final minutes, the antumbral shadow cuts across central Borneo and clips the northwestern edge of Celebes before ending just short of Mindanao, Philippines at 09:52 UT. During a 3 hour 46 minute trajectory across our planet, the Moon's antumbra travels approximately 14,500 kilometers and covers 0.9% of Earth's surface area. Path coordinates and central line circumstances are presented in Table 1…

There's the ethereal variety, and then there's the Earth variety - of angels. Sometimes they work together and sometimes the lines are blurred.

Those who are awakening and coming into a soul driven life have a strong internal urge to move forward and contribute to the evolution of this planet in some specific way. Perhaps you have felt this and engaged in one or more activities that you thought were your purpose, but in time laid it aside realizing it was not a life-long passion. However, whatever you have done to date contributed to your human skills and knowledge and may be used later in your true purpose. With the ever increasing energy on this planet many are feeling an urgency to move forward, to engage in their purpose(s), to make a difference by contributing in service but we must remember that all comes in universal timing perfectly with all else, and while we may feel we are stuck or taking too long, perhaps it is more about us gaining knowledge and having time to prepare ourselves internally so that we can step into our role(s) fully and appropriately.

We are all energetic beings. Part of us participates as soul in form, the rest as the whole of ourselves actively engaged as appropriate in our true way of being, energetically assisting with the radical shift on this planet. You are, therefore, already assisting with the transition although you may or may not be consciously aware of this. Perhaps you get understanding in meditation, in stillness or in your dreams but this full energetic participation is usually just below your conscious mind. What you are to do through the form comes to you in pieces, in layers and there are hints over your entire life about what this is and what you are to eventually do.

We all decided when we would fully awaken to ourselves in our human life, planning this time in form to observe a dissolving third domain dual world and gather human skills and experiences that we would utilize later in fulfilling our purpose. What we do in stillness and activity as soul in form is done with a combination of human learned skills and knowledge from this life or another Earth life, and the skills and knowledge, wisdom, love, compassion and joy of the soul and all that this means. We gather the human with the divine and implement our purpose either energetically, through form or both and there is always a preparation time before the action of our divine self occurs through form.

Some of you may already be engaged in energetic activities where you leave your form, retain your human consciousness and work with other energetic beings to certain ends. You may also be aware that there are other individuals who come before, during or after you both in and out of form as part of the collaboration of the whole of all things. For some, action energetically comes easier than action through form. The reverse is also true, some act through form more easily than working out of form energetically. It is important not to compare yourself with others as we each have our own talents and roles that together make the whole and all are equal as there is no concept of less than in the cosmos.

Identifying Your Purpose

We must all remember that we are leaving the old third domain, dual world behind to create collectively a fifth domain world without harm. Understanding fully what, “with harm to none” truly means is the beginning of understanding regarding what this new world looks and feels like. The dual world is founded on wanting more resulting in harm and fear-based living globally for all life. What if there was no reason for fear because there was never any harm? Building on this premise, you can understand that our purposes cannot be built on the old world of harm. Your purpose then is original, a vision of future not past, and is built on the bedrock of the purity of you without any need for return or benefit, gain or glory. Divine purpose, as defined by your soul before birth, comes from the creative joy of contributing and collaboration with the understanding that your actions will help to create a beautiful world of peace and harmony for all life.

We must take what we have learned about this human world as we are still a part of it, and all we know as soul to remember our roles, our purpose and how that is to be done beyond what we have seen and experienced in this limited dual world. In every category of life: eating, sleeping, child rearing, education, communication, procreation, growing food, commerce, transportation, energy, interaction with nature, the waters, the Earth, relationship with animals and plants, etc. a new way is being brought forth and you may be remembering how that looks and feels without the external support of confirmation from this dual world. Many beings from the higher domains are working with individuals now to bring forth the new ways. There are many in human form that have brought ways from experiences in other worlds to apply here – and they will be remembered, or are being remembered. If you are talking to yourself, your soul, your Council (guides), or other beings who you work with they will all help you to remember what you know in order to implement new ways. It may be very difficult for you to believe what you are hearing inside, what you are remembering, what you know innately but do not find discussed or even considered around you. Trust in what you know and delve deeper into the truth of it. You know when you know the truth, and now is the time to build on what you know and remember. Talk with other like-minded individuals in form and collaborate with others in and out of form when you have an opportunity. The building of community is part of the creation of our new ways.

Pull the strings together from your human life, internal messages and perhaps information from others in and out of form and begin drawing the linkages to define your purpose(s). Look for what brings you joy, what you are passionate about even though you may have never done it before in this lifetime. Through automatic writing or telepathic communication with your Council and yourself you can get information about your purpose and then spend time in stillness or contemplation allowing your remembrance to come up into your consciousness, drawing a vision of what you are to do. You cannot figure this out with your mind. You cannot make a life plan based on what makes financial sense. You must simply allow truth to come forward, know it and begin the process of developing your memory. Some of us tend to hit the Internet to research any idea we may have, but there is not Internet yet for the future times. Those images and that knowing is only within you, and only you can bring it up by asking and spending quiet time purposefully focusing on what you are to do, where you are to go and perhaps with whom you are to work – in form and out.

Cherish the Moment

Each moment is magical if you are connected to all that is through soul. As you move forward toward yourself you are given information, and memory comes as you blend closer to yourself. As you become more of yourself, soul acting through form, you are also more prepared to receive information as you have dropped the reactionary ways of the ego personality, can truly trust what you hear, what you are given and then act fearlessly with the purity of self. Stay then in the moment, knowing You, leaving the past behind as the old way, and focus on creating for yourself, and then for the world, a 5th domain world from the clarity and purpose of your own self. As you master self, you open the doors to action and collaboration. The first road is always the road home – all else comes from that.

Eclipse seasons happen twice a year spaced around six months apart, and last just over four weeks. The centrality of this total solar eclipse places July 21 through July 22 right at the center of the eclipse season, producing the relatively rare situation of three eclipses within one season, in this case rather minor penumbral lunar eclipses, two weeks before and after the total solar. There has been surfacing some alarmists and sensationalized material recently with regard to this triple eclipse season, much of which has been coming out of India. The research presents the case that a lunar-solar-lunar sequence is connected with great wars and turmoil. Maybe so, but the situation is not really all that rare. In fact, three eclipses in one season occurs around eight times ever 28 years, averaging every 3.5 years, or eight of every 59 eclipse seasons. Here are the most recent and next ones (note capital L for Lunar or capital S for Solar indicates that a lunar or solar eclipse starts the triple sequence):
L 1998
S 2000
L 2002
L 2009
S 2011
L 2013
L 2020
One thing is sure. If there is anything to the dire predictions, we will find out soon, due to the extreme centrality of the solar eclipse. Consider the following: a really long total solar eclipse requires three things
1) The syzygy Sun and Moon line up (New Moon)
2) A nodal close conjunction at syzygy
3) Maximum perigee-closest approach of the Moon to the Earth.
In this case the perigee is just 6.3 hours before the New Moon Solar Eclipse and is the nearest perigee of the Moon this year, just 222,128 miles. The next closest doesn’t occur until November 14, 2016. The high tides phenomena and the possible connection to earthquakes is well known, plus visually the Moon is really big especially as it is rising. Then just 75 minutes before exact syzygy, the Sun reaches the exact south node, almost exactly in the precise center of the eclipse season. These factors together create the most central eclipse of the century, not to be equaled until 2114.

SHAMANIC ASTROLOGY AND ECLIPSES

The Shamanic Astrology Mystery School chooses not to describe positive/negative, good/bad dualistic judgments to any event or cycle. The really negative interpretations historically attributed to eclipses are well known and taken into consideration. Also, we do not make the mistake of some light polarized all optimistic meaning.
Simply put, a lunar eclipse is a super Full Moon and a solar eclipse is a super New Moon. A central, over six minutes long, total solar eclipse is as super as a New Moon can get! There are two other factors to consider:
1) The physical path of the track of totality, pointing our attention to those regions of the earth darkened, example, India, Tibet, China, and partial over North Korea.
2) This is a south node solar eclipse. The shadow of the past cannot be suppressed or denied. Embracing the shadow precedes the new seeding occurring at a New Moon.
Note that the lunar eclipses surrounding the total solar eclipse are both north node (future oriented) eclipses. These two full moons on July 7 at 15 Capricorn 24, August 5 at 13 Aquarius 43 may help illuminate the central issues facing global humanity. The Full Moon of Aquarius that occurs every year in late July through August has been seen by many to be a truly celestial portal, the Full Moon of vision quest and the Ascended Masters.
As for all of these great astronomical cosmological events, in the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School we encourage participation with our awareness, and holding ceremonial space for the rapidly accelerating plan of Great Mystery.

SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR THOSE IN HAWAII

1) The 10% to 15% partial solar eclipse begins about 5:00pm on Tuesday afternoon, July 21 and lasts until about 6:15 pm Hawaii time. Make sure to get some kind of solar filter for safe viewing of the partial eclipse.
2) Since Hawaii is south of 23 degree north latitude, it is in the geographical zone where twice a year, the sun will be exactly on the zenith, a situation where there is NO SHADOW! This is an interesting complement to the time of shadow with the eclipses. On Maui, this phenomena happens in May and July and is called “lahaina noon.” This July, on the Lahaina side of Maui it happens on July 17 at 12:32 pm and on the Hana side it occurs July 18 at 12:30pm. I believe it is July 19th on the Big Island around the same time.

There is a point beyond time and space where creation begins. A place of complete stillness, peace, serenity. Love. On the energy of today's Total Solar Eclipse, go there.

A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun’s light from the Earth. In a Total Solar Eclipse, the sky appears to darken. Moments of darkness during the day call our attention to the inner realms, the Void, womb of creation. This is a powerful new beginning. Eclipses clear out the debris in our lives and bring us into alignment with the cosmos.

In Cancer, this New Moon Solar Eclipse drives us deep within to explore the roots of our feelings. This is an opportunity to break through longstanding emotional patterns that block the fullest manifestation of our Divine Essence. Cancer rules the 4th house, which has to do with homes and nurturing. So many are being displaced from their homes these days. We open to the realization that our physical home is merely one representation of the Spirit that sustains us. Great Mother, the Earth, provides in myriad ways.

While the July 21/22 New Moon Total Solar Eclipse will be visible in Asia and the South Pacific, the effects will be felt worldwide. In general, the path of an eclipse (where it’s visible) will be the geographical areas where the most widespread and sudden changes will take place. Where the eclipse falls astrologically in your chart will determine the areas in your life that will be most affected by this celestial house cleaning.

The July 21/22 Total Solar Eclipse will be visible in parts of India, Nepal, China and the Pacific Ocean. A partial eclipse will be visible in a broader path covering most of southeast Asia and northeastern Oceania. The path of totality cuts through the homelands of some of the most ancient and relevant spiritual teachings on Earth, including Hinduism, the Vedas, Taosim, and the I Ching. Tibetan Buddhism is rooted in Hinduism. Watch for the essence of these traditions to enter mainstream conscious awareness.

In July and August, there are three eclipses – two in Capricorn/Cancer and another in Aquarius/Leo. This series is designed to open the heart as we refine our values and priorities in alignment with the Aquarian ideals of humanitarianism and service.

The only total eclipse of the year happens in Cancer, the sign that most fully embodies the energy of Divine Mother, and continues as the Sun enters Leo. This will be a moment of intense transformation for humanity, an invitation to open to the embrace of the cosmos at this critical time in Earth’s history.

The New Moon on July 22 is the second New Moon in the sign of Cancer this year. In the last degree of Cancer, it's time to wrap up the old and begin the new. Eclipses happen in 6-month and 19-year cycles. What's coming to completion in your life within these time frames? What are you beginning that's new? Eclipses break up energy patterns, freeing us to create anew.

The eclipse period - as the Moon passes over the face of the Sun - lasts several hours. The moment of the New Moon - when the Sun and Moon meet exactly - is the time of greatest eclipse: 7:35 PM Pacific July 21; 10:35 PM Eastern July 21; 2:35 AM GMT July 22.

Ritual is appropriate throughout this period. Eclipses are points of balance and illumination. In Buddhist tradition, they are holy days reserved for prayer, reflection and meditation on behalf of the collective. Our thoughts are amplified exponentially through these portals created by the alignment of Sun, Earth and Moon. With the energy of the Solar Eclipse, we're planting the seeds of something new that will culminate over the next six months and 19 years. Create with intent.

Eclipses aren't the only astrological news this summer. There's also a triple conjunction of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron and explosive alignments of Uranus, Saturn and Pluto. All of this happens as we make our way through the 2012 Gateway, the time when our Sun aligns with the Galactic Equator. We explore the astrological context of the eclipses in my book, Cosmic Time, and in my 2009-2012 Astro Preview. You'll receive a complimentary copy of the preview report when you order the book or make a donation to support my ezine and blog updates. Click here for details.

This truly is the Summer of Love. The heavens are conspiring to open the hearts of humanity, healing the wounds of many lifetimes. These celestial energies can help us transform our lives in miraculous ways as we align and flow with the changes. My work with individuals in my Astro-Shamanism pratice is especially potent during eclipse periods. Click here for details.

I feel completely renewed and ready for action. If this were a Thunderbirds episode, it would go something like, "Aries are GO!". Lets go. I'm ready.
