The spiritual meaning of a solar eclipse varies across different cultures and belief systems. In some ancient cultures, such as the Mayans and the Egyptians, solar eclipses were seen as powerful omens that signaled a time of great change and transformation.<\/p>\n
In Hindu mythology, eclipses were believed to be caused by the demon serpent Rahu trying to swallow the sun or the moon. Sounds a little like the Lyran-Draconian Wars, right? It was believed by many ancient people that during an eclipse, the natural order of the universe was disrupted and that it was important to perform rituals and prayers to ward off evil and ensure the continuation of life.<\/p>\n
In many modern spiritual traditions, solar eclipses are seen as opportunities for introspection, reflection, and transformation. They are often associated with themes of endings, beginnings, and rebirth, especially with this recent solar eclipse being in the sign of Aries, which exemplifies this \u201cfresh new start\u201d energy.<\/p>\n
But how do eclipses affect us energetically?\u00a0<\/strong>A solar eclipse is a great time to\u00a0consciously set clear intentions\u00a0<\/strong>for your\u00a0future.<\/strong><\/p>\n Keep in mind that effects of this intense energy can be felt for\u00a0weeks or even months<\/strong>\u00a0preceding it, and for at least 6 months after the actual date.<\/p>\n Solar eclipse are seen to be a positive cosmic influence, but they can also be unsettling, destabilizing and challenging.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0These eclipses are said to pretty much cause\u00a0chaos, much like the ancient people believed.\u00a0This is because during a solar eclipse,\u00a0the moon\u2019s very yin-based\u00a0emotional, instinctual\u00a0and\u00a0intuitive qualities\u00a0of the\u00a0subconscious mind\u00a0overrides<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0the sun\u2019s\u00a0yang\u00a0qualities, which are more rational, logical and represents the conscious mind.<\/p>\n During a solar eclipse, the pattern for us energetically is that we will first have an\u00a0intense power outage\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>that\u00a0knocks<\/strong>\u00a0us right out, which is then followed by a massive\u00a0power surge.<\/strong>\u00a0In other words we\u2019ll go through a cycle of great intensity\u00a0that leads\u00a0to amplified\u00a0light and growth. Expect to experience\u00a0heightened gut feelings and amplified intuition during any solar eclipse.<\/p>\n The sun\u00a0is\u00a0a huge ball of light, life force energy, and represents\u00a0higher consciousness.<\/strong>\u00a0So, during an eclipse, be prepared to go through a rather intense\u00a0period\u00a0<\/strong>and do the spiritual work. That is the gift of an eclipse. They are an\u00a0opportunity<\/strong>\u00a0for you to heal\u00a0and clear<\/strong>\u00a0all that\u00a0old energetic debris\u00a0<\/strong>lodged in your system. They wipe your slate clean so that you can begin a\u00a0new path<\/strong>\u00a0feeling\u00a0lighter, brighter and clearer.<\/strong><\/p>\n My advice to you is to not see loss or closure as a bad thing, as it will represent a\u00a0transformation<\/strong>\u00a0that you might not entirely see the point of yet, but that will soon be revealed at a later date. It all depends on current energies, your own personal self growth and where you are on your life path.<\/p>\n With Gratitude,<\/p>\n Debbie Solaris<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The spiritual meaning of a solar eclipse varies across different cultures and belief systems.
