Gaze within the rising tide of darkness
and see the glimmer of stardust
in your bones.
The constellation of our times
draws us closer
to our collective underworld
where voices of truth and injustice
cry out from the center of our galaxy.
A solar eclipse
and perspective shifts.
A primordial score activates
an instinctive riff.
Turn off the noise
and listen to the movement of the planets.
As above, so below.
A dance entwined,
past and future,
inner and outer cosmos design.
We can’t rationalize this away,
Although many try to hold
the crusty barriers of the crumbling patriarchy.
Wacky juxtaposition
of the fat and the lean,
of looking forward,
of looking back
and of eyes closed.
Aspirations and goals magnified.
Contradictions illuminated.
Visionary tension crackles with risk and caution.
Synchronicity sings.
Step aboard the Wheel of Fortune,
the Solstice 2020 gateway
is weighted with responsibility.
Veracity and shadow.
Fiery catapult.
The end and the dawning of an era.
Sagittarius Solar Eclipse December 14, 2020 8:16 am PST
One door closes and another opens. Endings and beginnings are hallmarks of eclipses. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts a shadow over the earth; the shadow of consequences of past actions, habits and addictions to opinions. What is really going on? Smacked out of the comfort zone of righteousness and entitlement. Religious and political intolerance, fanaticism aflame. The earth is shifting beneath our feet. Here we are, there’s no turning back. Be present with what is essential.
Breathe, embody, open your mind without losing focus to the winds of speculation and endless distractions. The present moment is a valuable place to be, a solar eclipse portal that emphasizes making changes in habitual patterns. Craft the tension to form your intentions.
Each solar eclipse belongs to a larger family of eclipses that appears every 18 years (overall for more than 1000 years). Past dates of eclipses in this family (called Saros Series 4 South) include December 2002, November 1984, November 1966, and November 1948.
Consider what concerns in your life are holding you back.
Where are you investing your attention?

≋ Fresh Air! ≋
Days after the Solar Eclipse, Jupiter and Saturn each move into Aquarius and join in a conjunction on the Solstice. This marks the ending and beginning of a 20 year cycle and is the closest visible alignment in 800 years.
The Saturn Jupiter conjunction begins a significant cycle of social destiny. There is an emphasis for new developments in social consciousness and shows up in community groups, organizations, business and financial trends. Challenges and opportunities arise at this time as individuals make important changes in goals and aspirations in accordance with the shifting landscape of business and social sectors.
We are in a passage where new ideas abound. Seeds of innovation and invention are fertile. Outworn patterns, both in our personal lives and in the business sector, become glaringly obvious and obsolete. Already we are connecting with social groups in new ways, what’s next? It won’t take long, developments get a boost of energy.
We’ve never done this dance before and we’re improvising each roll and twist, every leap and turn. We need to keep moving, yet we also need to find the rest and the grounding nourishment that our bodies crave. It’s easy to disassociate, forget and neglect the basics….Remember what is essential! In the quest for logic in an increasingly strange and chaotic world, beware of intolerance and inflexibility. Cultivate kindness.
Gateway 2020 – Seeds of Inquiry
What am I seeking in the future that exists now in my present experience?
How may I live and act according to my truth, free from judging myself or others?
Where am I drawn to “break the rules” of my conditioning?
Is there a restlessness within me and what is that voice?
What is the vision that I wish to translate into my present reality?
“Everything you said is right on, I can’t believe you know who I am. It’s stunning, just stunning! Tina S.

Thanks, you always see the ath.
Jacqueline says
You’re welcome Steve, although your comment is unclear, I’m glad the ‘flash speaks to you. What a time it is!
Jo says

Anthony L. Barreiro says
Thanks Jacqueline. such a powerful time. I love the question, “What am I seeking in the future that exists now in my present experience?” I haven’t put that into words, but I’ve been noticing and appreciating when something that bugs me (unnecessary lights, noise, etc.) is not there and I can appreciate the sky, peace and quiet, etc. I’m getting a clearer vision of my future home and social network (Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey are not in the picture) and letting go of fruitless resentments.
P.S. — I’ve never seen an ath. How would I recognize one? 😉
Jacqueline says
Anthony, I appreciate your personal reflections to the Seeds of Inquiry. I would imagine your future would include a clearer view of the night sky. I love that you included letting go of fruitless resentments, which we could all practice!
PS –apparently Ath is a Belgian municipality located in the Walloon province of Hainaut. But that is with a capital A.
Jacqueline says
Thank you Jo! ♥
Jess says
You called it last year at your astro party in the city – you said 2020 was a year of eclipse after eclipse after eclipse and said something like ” whoa!” You called it! Here’s hoping the lighter Aquarius energy will bring some calm and humanity to our challenged and weary planet and her people
Nancy Erikson says
“Where am drawn to break the rules of my conditioning?” I love this.
The longer I am on the planet, the more I realize how much we have all been conditioned since birth to follow the rules or paradigms that ultimately keep us running on a treadmill of exhaustion to drive a global economy. The cost to me and many people and animals in my life has been high. I choose to no longer participate in that which might cause harm.
There is a richness to this life, that for me, requires a slowing down, a focus on deep listening and empathy for what it means to be human. To hold so much power as the dominant species on the earth, it seems we have a responsibility to understand that we are guests during our time here – and thus respect and revere the gifts that have been given to us in this life experience. My gratitude increases with the passage of time.
Your insights are not only insightful, but they are also poetic. Thank you for who you are!

Jacqueline says
Thank you Jess! Calm and humanity sounds good, I welcome kindness and inclusivity to the table. Let’s keep calling in all the positive possibilities as we co-create a new future. We’re at the portal.
Jacqueline says
Nancy, I appreciate and resonate with your soulful and reverent reflections. I also find that my gratitude increases year by year. Thank you for touching my heart with your kind words!
