New Moon Solar Eclipse Aug 1st 2008

Aug 1st New Moon solar eclipse in Leo.

What’s going on at a Solar Eclipse? Solar Eclipses happen when the orbital paths of the moon and Earth align precisely enough for the moon to block the light of the Sun. For a few minutes you could say the moon –the soul, or intuitive mind overshadows the Sun, the rational mind. And energetic matrixes are opened, reorganized, and reconfigured creating new pathways and new patterns. And we are given a new glimpse of our souls intentions.

The sign qualities receiving this new matrix are those of the sign Leo. Leo represents the journey of discovering and expressing our individual spark of self expression (Our path of heart).

Maybe you will have a new path opening to you after this eclipse for expressing your heart path or for doing what brings you joy. So listen to your heart and set soul inspired goals. (New Moons are a good times to set goals) And explore what you need to be creating to express your core self.


New goals might also revolve around looking for where you need will power (sun power) to walk your heart path and not get lost in someone else’s. Dare to make changes that are in alignment with your true nature.

“The secret of change is to not focus all your energy on fighting the old, but on building the new.” Socrates

As most of you reading this already know, Nietzsche was a German philosopher who taught that traditional values represented a "slave morality." His quest for personal liberation is associated with some New Age thinking today. He maintained that all human behavior is motivated by the will to power -- the power over oneself that is necessary for creativity. As role models for what Nietzsche called an "overman," he mentioned Socrates, Jesus, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Shakespeare. When questioned about the "Live Dangerously" sign, Nietzsche claimed it was to remind him, "My fear is great." Nietzsche advocated "letting go" and living life as a great adventure. What about you? Your inner nature calls for you to quest and learn and grow."No," you say. "I want security. Aliveness is dangerous. I cannot follow my inner nature."But when you try to protect yourself from change to maintain security, more often than not, you'll experience a reduction in your life-force. Your soul will suffer. And for what? Security isn't secure. Life always changes. Living dangerous means when you're offered a choice, you take the growth choice not the safe choice, the comfortable choice, or the socially acceptable choice. You choose based upon what generates aliveness for you. Whatever results will provide an opportunity to learn and grow.
