The Gathering Place ( Modalities of Divination )

Solar Eclipse New & Moon in Libra tomorrow afternoon ( Wed ) 10°03', 10th House @ 2:49 PM EDT. This post focuses mainly on the Annular "Ring of Fire" Solar Eclipse. A more detailed post of the New Moon in Libra will be published tomorrow, or you can find it here: inspiritualservice.com/celestial-events-2024

Eclipse season is accompanied by intense and often accelerated peaks of action, so don't be surprised if hear about or read about escalating global tensions or weather. The Lunar aspects will contribute a heightened emotional element.

When accompanied by a New Moon, especially in the sign of Libra, representing social and relationship balance, it's the perfect time for manifesting, we can all set intentions for PEACE.

This Eclipse and New Moon are a powerful combination to pave the way for a new social consciousness and personal beginnings. The "Ring of Fire" has always reminded me of a Universally controlled burn. Just like on Earth, fire departments initiate controlled burns for new and healthier growth.

If you've ever witnessed this event as I have ( in a park when young ) you can see the beauty of it crawling along the ground in a unified action, burning away the old and infirmed patches of unhealthy growth to make way for the new.

Imagine this "Ring of Fire" burning from within our heart and through our bodies, minds, particularly thoughts, even homes as we rid ourselves of clutter that hinders our development. Behind it comes the cooling spray of water to fertilize the growth of new beginnings.

Then imagine it spreading away from us, crawling across the globe - across every country, burning away outdated philosophies and militant regimes of oppression.

Imagine the cooling rain fertilizing healthy beginnings representing unity and love.

Change begins with us, and this Annular Eclipse and New Moon provide the perfect celestial opportunity to join a collective of like-minded souls to plant the seeds of new growth in outdated patches of dirt where nothing healthy seems to survive.

Science:

The “ring of fire” solar eclipse closes out the 2024 eclipse season and will only be visible the south of Hawaii in the North Pacific Ocean and will set north of South Georgia in the South Atlantic Ocean.

Notable Aspects:

With the Moon conjunct the Sun, Mercury, Lilith, and Astrea, this energy emphasizes our desire for balance and harmony and, with Lilith involved, justice for some past circumstance where our voice was silenced, or our gifts were taken for granted or capitalized on by others.

Pay very close attention to triggers, they are there to reveal where we need healing. Tracing the source of these triggers provides a timeline in which to review all the times we've felt that same trigger and how we've reacted. Now it's time to respond differently and close that wound right along with eclipse season.

Dedication and commitment to this task is favored and will produce desired results. With Mercury involved, short-distance travel may arise. As Mercury ( ruler of Virgo, Healer Archetype ) also symbolizes healing, now is a perfect time to communicate our needs through journaling or speaking with someone we trust.

***Important: this is not a total eclipse. And the first thing to remember, at no time during this eclipse will it be safe to look at the sun without proper eye protection.
