Mystery occults our view.
A shadow is created by the Moon,
voice of instinct and the unconscious.
Perception is rearranged;
we see things differently – AHA!
There is tension between
truth and power,
creativity and covert manipulation.
We see darkness where we depend on seeing light.
The shadow is more obscure.
The light is more brilliant.
Courage and hiding,
excess and release,
expansive expression and focused analysis.
Polarity can bring clarity to what needs to be released.
Allow your heart-fire to ignite
your Leo New Moon Beginnings.
Leo Solar Eclipse – Shadow & Light

Can we own the Leo courage to admit to denial when revealed? Are we willing to be awake to generous, creative, powerful and playful emergence? As we release the denial – Leo shadow of arrogance, conceit, addiction to drama and self-indulgence – we open to new life force and vitality.
“Finding the center of strength within ourselves is in the long run the best contribution we can make to our fellow men. … One person with indigenous inner strength exercises a great calming effect on panic among people around him. This is what our society needs — not new ideas and inventions; important as these are, and not geniuses and supermen, but persons who can be, that is, persons who have a center of strength within themselves.” Rollo May
Leo Solar Eclipse
Seeds of Inquiry
What lights me up, keeps me alive, and fuels me?
What is crushing my spark? Look into the shadow!
What am I afraid to face within my self?
How may I affirm and strengthen my powerful center?
*Bonus Question (Saros Series): What was up for me during the Summer of 2008, 1990, and 1972? These were all part of the same eclipse cycle.
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.
Rumi, translated/interpreted by Coleman Barks

“When you bring consciousness to anything,
things begin to shift.”
Eve Ensler
The sun, the moon and the planets are your allies in seeking truth.
They offer parameters, milestones and timing.
They open doors – if you are willing to step through the threshold to
deeper understanding and self-acceptance.
I welcome your inquiry.
I offer navigation in the mystery through astrology and tarot.
With Love,
Jacqueline
