current You survived. ~ Andrea Balt
September’s Eclipses
If your birth chart is a symbolic map or mandala of your contract with life, you’re about to be reminded just exactly what that is by September’s cosmic wild cards—the eclipses on September 1 and 16 at 9° and 24° Virgo and Virgo/Pisces.
Eclipses are a dramatic display of light and dark when the two Lights—our Sun and Moon—occult the Earth and each other.
In the new quantum 5D astrology:
- Eclipses are known as infinity points because for the minutes of the eclipse, linear time stops for a brief moment of infinity
- If eclipse degrees align with planets in your own birth chart, you are bumped on to the fast track of your evolutionary spiral
- Eclipses are a door between the material and subtle worlds—our environment includes far more than we consciously perceive, including gravity waves, light frequencies, ionic ratios and mineralogical vibrations of the planet. Our physical bodies have cellular biological consciousness, so hormonal and bio-chemical balances are directly affected by the light format and matrix of the planet
- Eclipses have an impact because they project differentiated light, alter gravity and are coded with conscious life force.
- Eclipse events can seem karmic or predestined
- You have a distinct sense of sudden transition. You move from one space of life into another.
- A release as well as a re-calibration can take place.
From the 9 to the Zero Zone—Physical Clearing
These eclipses coming in the 9th month of the “9” year are going to bring intense physical clearing as the evolutionary burn and RESET spirals into the Zero Zone from the 9 into the 0: 2016 into 2017.
This is where your practical mastery meets magic in the physical world and it is seeding an obvious deepening in your body and life, an unprecedented grounding as the light of your soul enters places never before illuminated. This late 2016 Zero Zone portal is being called the Separation of Worlds & Timelines.
Wherever the Nodes of Fate are, so too are eclipses. In your own chart the sign and House of the Moon’s Nodes reveal the blueprint of your soul’s Evolution… and the gateway to transcending time and separation consciousness.
The North Node is our dharma, the South Node our Karma—they are the places within our earthly existence where the 5D Self interfaces with the 3D self and the only points in the chart that move clockwise round the signs—back to Source. The Nodes of Fate are directly connected to the double helix spiral of our DNA, representing the yin and yang, becoming an intrinsic part of the system of energy centers known as chakras.
In fact, the South and North Nodes are the Earth Star and Soul Star chakras. As the Nodes of Fate move through each sign once every 18.65 years, at every eclipse we have the chance to move further round our evolutionary spiral. Since September 2015, the North Node has been travelling through Virgo and the South Node through Pisces on the axis of matter and spirit, eclipsing out the old false separation.
Virgo marks the end of a cycle of purely personal development; it engages the lower bodies physical, emotional and mental in a process of self-transformation—the evolutionary RESET. The task of the Virgo /Pisces polarity is to build neural bridges between the left and right brain; between deep space (Pisces) and visual space (Virgo); between an intuitive and rational approach to life. Until 28 April 2017 your mission statement will play out along the Virgo/Pisces axis. Whichever part of your life Virgo /Pisces represents in your chart and psyche is the receiving stations for earthing the new frequencies.
New Moon Solar Eclipse at 9 Degrees Virgo September 1, 2016: Renewing or Deleting Your Soul Purpose
Solar eclipses are New Moons on steroids: they signify that something essential, as bright and important as the Sun in your life, has come to an end, its task completed. Just as the Sun’s energy is hidden and occulted during the solar eclipse, something essential in your life becomes hidden too. And then it disappears, its work completed. Wherever 7-11 degrees Virgo is in your chart, it is a time of a major ending foreshadowing a new beginning. Track the trail of clues from your own life from the repercussions of the last solar eclipses on this degree: September 1, 1997. Which aspect of your life disappeared? What new direction replaced it?
In the eclipse chart, the 5D deep space planets are re-tuning and recalibrating old astrological archetypes as part of the evolutionary RESET. The Sun and Moon are conjunct Orcus, archetype of the Soul’s Vows, a plutonic point bringing order from chaos, renewing or deleting our soul purpose. Mercury Retrograde and Venus, both conjunct Makemake, archetype of shock and awe, on the Super Galactic Center, are acting as receptors for global change. Mars conjunct the Great Attractor is refracting Skillful Will rather than Strong Will as the energies of this supermassive black hole lets us see round corners to connect with core soul unity—the perfect frequency for our soul mission.
The symbols for the eclipse at Virgo 10:
Sabian Symbol: As if in a moment of vision a man is seen possessed of two heads; both of these look out and beyond the shadows.
Kozminsky Symbol: An oracle in a cave, seated on a tripod beneath which is a cloud of smoke. The leaves of fate are flying into the open air through the mouth of the cavern.
Take time to meditate and focus on your intent during the active phase of this eclipse… its energy is enormous and, whether visible or not, it projects a seeded-coded frequency globally,
The Lunar Eclipse on September 16 at 24° Virgo/Pisces: Your Mind Is Not a Camera; It’s a Projector
Full Moon eclipses symbolize the past and the present, sliding through one another and the disappearance of something in form and matter. Its time is over. Having fulfilled its destiny, it’s no longer needed in your life. Previous identities, roles, labels and past creations, are left in your dustbin of personal history. This affects you emotionally as you become aware of the passage of time as memories and dreams come up to the surface. The last lunar eclipse on this degree was on September 16, 1997 at 23 Pisces/Virgo—think back for clues. This Lunar eclipse brings the second installment of a new story started six months ago at the Solar Eclipse at 19 Pisces on March 9, 2016. What intriguing possibility back then captured your interest and set you off on a journey of exploration?
We experience a direct connection to deep space in this chart, with Moon conjunct Centaur Chiron in Pisces in a T square with Sun, Jupiter and Mars conjunct Ixion. Jupiter the Guide of Truth is in Libra, activating the Super Galactic Center with Makemake. The Super Galactic Center is a massive Black Hole where none of the old rules apply. It’s a point of reinvention. Chiron the Shamanic healer acts as a pattern-breaker, springing us from the mud of stuck or fossilized beliefs and behaviours. The eclipse message is: “Your mind is not a camera. It’s a projector”.
The Chandra Symbol for Virgo 25: A gold ring in the form of a snake swallowing its tail
Being bound and determined to complete the karmic wheel and to make way for spirit to lead beyond the individual and the personal into the universal and the infinite. Feeling extremely committed to the process of fathoming all karmic lessons and moving on, taking up this path at the level of wakeful engagement. The picture inside of the way the destiny is intended to unfold is so vivid and formidably held that it is virtually impossible to feel reconciled to the twists and turns the path takes. We hold before our inner eye what we have agreed to take on and we will not stop keying on this; obsessing upon its vital necessity.
The Eclipses Aren’t Happening to You—You Are Happening to the Eclipses
“We are designed to live from the infinite creative potential, not the history of our past Creations” ~Michael Neill, Inside Out
As you progressively change your belief system from a Newtonian worldview to one based on the Quantum Field, moving from cause and effect to synchronicity:
- Be kind to yourself: be discerning, patient and tender towards your growing edge. The past is withdrawing from us and we are in the process of disabling the past.
- If you’re feeling—as so many of us sensitives are—down, depleted, drained, alone or in a void like floating on the Dead Sea, understand that you are not fading, falling or failing but energetically detaching from the ending of many planetary cycles. Detaching so you can witness the withdrawal of many of your previous creations—roles, labels, careers, alliances.
- Instead of focusing on what isn’t happening or what you’re not doing, allow yourself as much rest, withdrawal and non-doing as you can as the physical and psychic cleansing builds. Your body is a messenger with feedback about your current operating system.
- Be present in your body and allow outworn gestalts, debris, illusions, attachments and patterns to dissolve while absorbing the incoming deep space energies at cellular level.
- You are still in transition to a new elevated creation cycle that will see you move from seeking all lost parts of yourself to creating the highest expression of your Self in form.
- You are learning that the more you become true to your Self and the more you withdraw your energy from anything external that leads to soul defragmentation, the more energy you have available to self-sustain, self-generate, self-realize.
- Through the next few months, as we continue to embody more of our transpersonal Self in human form, many of us are/will be up-levelling, uprooting and expanding into more meta-level, yet earth-focused service.
- Frame it as Waking Up by Waking Down—finding your creative freedom, financial independence and self-sustainability in the midst of global collapse. To be an advocate for anything in the physical world, you must have a presence, a strong physicality and be willing to attract attention. Gone are the days of being invisible, hiding out behind the scenes.
