The Oz Effect – A Sudden Flash of Awareness
Solar Eclipses can energize sudden and powerful circumstances in our life. Like a catalyst for awareness, a Solar Eclipse is a burst of energy that recognizes where you are and pushes you into the future, directing you toward the next steps of your soul’s journey.
Challenges with Solar Eclipses come if the Solar Eclipse sees where you are more clearly than you do. This can create a sudden shock in your world that you are not prepared for. We can be thrown into chaos and, only with time, are we able to find the meaning in the circumstances. This most often happens when you are not on the yellow brick road of your life’s journey, which is your authentic path in life, but rather asleep in the poppy field.
When we are awakened out of the poppy field and return to strolling down the yellow brick road, we have some level of awareness of our journey and we are beginning to take actions and make decisions that serve our best interests. When this happens, we want more to awaken than we do to remain asleep.
This is when the circumstances introduced by a Solar Eclipse deliver a message that we can recognize and we are prepared for it to some degree. The goal is not to be shaken from the path, but to respond with integrity to ourselves and keep strolling along the yellow brick road.
When our level of awareness is very expanded on the yellow brick road super highway of life, we are most present, we are closest to our gifts, we trust ourselves and we truly know what ‘home’ means (click those ruby slippers)! Under these conditions, circumstances associated with the Solar Eclipse can truly be a blessing as they present an opportunity to integrate all that we have learned about ourselves for the greatest benefit. In this way, our strengths are given authority in our world and our level of trust increases! We feel life transforming one step at a time.
Let’s take a closer look at this specific Solar Eclipse and the circumstances likely presented by Capricorn.
Solar Eclipse conjunct Jupiter In Capricorn
This holiday season is energized with a powerful Solar Eclipse on December 26, 2019, when the Moon conjuncts the Sun at 4 degrees of Capricorn.
In last month’s newsletter, we wrote about how the early degrees of Capricorn have recently been tested by Saturn, who is transiting the sign of Capricorn, which he rules. This Solar Eclipse will energize these same degrees continuing the thread of growth and transformation that was tested recently by Saturn: roughly from December 2017 and all of 2018.
Looking back to that time frame may provide insight if you are feeling impacted by this Solar Eclipse.
The content of this Solar Eclipse is focused in the sign of Capricorn and pushing you forward to understand and embrace the archetype of Capricorn in your life. Who is impacted?
- You may be impacted by the Solar Eclipse because it will take place on an angle of your birth chart (we are finding this to be the case for many of our clients). When speaking of an angle in our chart we are referring to:
- the Ascendant (Physical and emotional projection in the world),
- the IC (home, heritage and family),
- the Descendant (relationships), or
- the Midheaven (career and social status).
- Or, it might connect with your Sun, your Saturn or any other planet.
- Or, simply, this might not be impacting any planets, but simply occurring in a particular house.
The journey for the Capricorn archetype is connected to the past and how you were imprinted in past lifetimes (karma) and this imprinting continues in childhood in this life. These imprints, habits or unconscious patterns are often connected to negative self-talk, which acts as the enforcer to keep us connected to the past and bound to the energy of lack.

This imprinting is the energy zapping egoic facade that encourages us to embrace conformity, stay small, and close ourselves off in order to feel safe and hopefully to be accepted and loved. At some level, this happens to each and every one of us.
This domestication or conditioning exists within us and was transmitted to us early in life our parents, caregivers, teaches, neighbors, authority figures, etc. We formulate these ‘rules’ into unconscious habit patterns that we adopt because we feel they keep us safe and close to love. Since they are unconscious, they operate unchecked for many years, until little by little we begin to recognize them and their intent.
These unconscious constructs within us are activated by circumstances in life and the astrological transits to your birth chart. This Solar Eclipse is a potential example of this. Especially at times when we are ready to step into a fuller and more authentic expression of who we are, we lift our foot and begin to take the first step, or we prepare for the words to cross our lips and we might freeze, our throat tightens or we feel sick in our stomach. This activates the automatic responses that fall like an avalanche upon us as the mind and body are acting as one to enforce the facade of safety.
As our awareness increases, we begin to understand what is happening internally. That is the first and most important step. A positive expression of Saturn and Capricorn is revealing the light of truth. As our awareness expands our awareness of who we truly are expands.
Here are two images of Saturn revealing the Light of Truth!

When we shine the light of our consciousness on these imprints, they are forced out of the darkness of our unconscious and they can ultimately, no longer survive in the light of truth (our consciousness) and their power over us fades.
This Solar Eclipse may energize circumstances and events that break open the facade and reveal old patterns of guilt and conformity in some way. Happening at a time when we are often gathering with family and friends, where circumstances for growth can be activated even without a Solar Eclipse, we want to be paying extra close attention.
During this time, remaining present and focusing your energy toward awareness will prepare you to face those moments when your unconscious gets activated. This way, you can act not out of old unconscious patterns that hold you captive, like a victim, but to step into the role of the architect and chose what you know is authentically best for you from the toolbox of empowering energy that also naturally resides within you!
If a circumstance presents itself and activates an internal state that is not supportive, try not to follow, but rather stay present on the yellow brick road of your life! In that moment, remember your strengths, remember that you are safe, remember that you have a voice, remember that you trust yourself and step forward in a new light, the light of your own awareness and consciousness! If you are not ready yet to step forward, remain in that light of presence reminding the old imprints that they no longer have unconscious control. As you know, this is not easy to do. Remember, do your best one step at a time.
This Solar Eclipse will push us all toward great awareness and progress on the path from false conformity to living in the light of wisdom.

Jupiter conjunct the Solar Eclipse
Finally, Jupiter will be at 5 Capricorn conjunct the Sun and Moon adding his energy to the mix.
A
Solar Eclipse
conjunct
Jupiter
is like "energizing your future".
As we grow through the tests that are presented by life, we make space for our future! Jupiter conjunct the Solar Eclipse can feel like suddenly “seeing the light” where Jupiter extends his hand and offers a vision with new possibilities of what your future can be. You may feel that your path suddenly seems clearer, providing new confidence and renewed energy you didn’t have just a month ago.
This awareness of your pathway to dharma, or your highest potential, helps you to realize that your future truly can be different from the past. It is key to remember that neither Jupiter nor the Solar Eclipse do the work for you. The potential for a different future means taking this inspiration, making change, large or small, and taking action.
As we approach a new decade, there is no better time to be inspired toward our vision!

Your Personalized Transit Review
Annual Life & Transit Review
|
|
As this speedy year comes to a close, consider a wrap up of 2019 and look ahead in preparation for 2020.
The planets are constantly in motion.
Your birth chart was fixed at the moment of your birth.
As the planets move through the sky, they
transit
your fixed birth chart, making a variety of connections. That is what is meant by the term astrological transits.
The most important transit
is the one happening right now and
what you do in response to it.
Understanding your transits brings awareness of the opportunities and tests that may arise so that you can live in a more conscious and proactive way.
Consider an Annual Life & Transit Review to discuss your unfolding journey and key dates in the year ahead.
