New Moon Solar Eclipse in Pisces — Freedom from past karma brings refreshing change and a new path!
A few minutes after the solar eclipse, the Moon merges with the Sun at 9:00 a.m. (CST) on Sunday, February 26, 2017, in the metaphysical sign of Pisces. The Sun and Moon in Pisces form a stellium with Neptune and the South Node as they oppose the North Node in Virgo, bringing a strong theme of karma, service and compassion to this lunation. We have cosmic blessings for anything we choose to initiate at this time.
Pisces and her ruler Neptune offer escape from the physical realm to merge with the divine through creativity, meditation, love, and spirituality. Neptune represents all things that exist outside the physical threshold of our awareness as she dissolves boundaries between reality and the dream state. She represents the bridge between our unconscious connection to the source of all creation and the illusion of duality brought about by the formation of the ego. We are learning how to dream a new world into being at this lunation.
The New Moon solar eclipse in Pisces brings an opportunity to connect with our inner divine guidance to discover what we must do to fulfill our karmic destiny in this life. What is our true karmic purpose? What do we need to do to get there? What has been holding us back from walking our true path? What do we need to release? How can we get back on track? What do we need to do feel more connected to others, to act with more compassion? What personal service have we been born into this realm to provide with our unique expression.
We can find answers to these questions by losing our “self” through meditation, creativity, spirituality, compassionate service, or anything that allows us to take a shamanic-like journey from the delusional state of separation to the divine realms of potentiality—where all are one and anything is possible. We come back with inspiration to work out the details as we map our path to a new dream.
Venus in Aries squares Pluto in Capricorn. This can bring up issues concerning intense love or power struggles in relationships. Mars confronts Uranus in a tight conjunction at 21 degrees Aries. Tired of repeating the same old worn out patterns, we are ready to fight for overdue change to bring on what we truly need. Courageous rebels Uranus and Mars send opposing energy to Jupiter in Libra as they form tense aspects with Pluto. Relationships of all types may be in the “cross-hairs” as volatile energy erupts to transform commitments for better or worse. Have we been too accommodating? Have we neglected our own needs in keeping the peace with others? We can heal any problems that may arise if we remember to act with compassion and kindness as we embrace change, instead of launching warheads of impatient aggression and anger.
If we know what we want at this New Moon, the urge to take action and break free is strong as impatient Mars activates rebellious Uranus in the pioneering sign of the Ram. Optimistic Jupiter in Libra may bring “over-the-top” confidence that cause us to take reckless chances, letting the “chips fall where they may” in relationships. Mars, strong in Aries, may bring sudden explosive actions or events that upset the status quo. We may be involved in a fight for freedom from those who have been abusing their power, or using subversive, manipulative tactics to control us.
The New Moon brings freedom from the past as we complete old karma, releasing our stories, attachments to people, and patterns of behavior that no longer serve us. If something is eclipsed from our lives at this time, we must let it go to move in new directions. We are called to begin a more authentic path of service that speaks to our special gifts and true desires. A path that brings new meaning to our lives and relationships.
