The New Moon/Solar Eclipse is in Mula and the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. Ruled by Ketu (Shadowy planet of Past Karma) and Jupiter (The Guru), they are both ruled by Nirrti, Goddess of Death & Destruction, and often identified with Kali, Goddess of Time & Death.
Yehhhhh, just what you wanted for Christmas. Don't shoot the messenger, listen to the message, and then decide.
Mula's meaning is "The Foundation Star," represented by roots. The Galactic Center of our Galaxy is the home of this Nakshatra, and in you, the Muladhara Chakra. This root is the first part of you to develop in the womb and the abode of latent Kundalini (spiritual energy). Your entire existence lays upon this foundation and holds the key to everything seen and unseen about you.
From the very beginning of your existence, you have grown roots in all different directions. Roots that nourished and grounded you, others that have drained and diminished you. You have been the source from which all things have grown. The blessing of Nirrti, the Goddess of Death & Destruction, is death & destruction of that which destroys the very essence of you. Much like a plants roots that have outgrown the pot it occupies. For the plant to survive, the container must be destroyed, and the dead roots removed. What's left after all the destruction?
Sat-Chit-Ananda
(Truth-Consciousness-Bliss)
Mula, the root of it all, is also associated with Tantra and the 10 Mahavidyas (Wisdom Goddesses). Tantra is mistaken to be all about sex. The true meaning of Tantra is sacred texts of wisdom on how to return to the root, Sat-Chit-Ananda (Truth-Consciousness-Bliss). The many representations of males and females having sex are about the union of male and female (Shiva-Shakti, Sun-Moon, Adam-Eve, Ida-Pingala) that must be achieved by you. Devotion and discipline are required. Once achieved, sex is amazing, but with a catch, sex with the wrong energetic partner can take you entirely in the opposite direction of what you worked so hard to achieve. The 10 Mahavidyas hold the key to Sat-Chit-Ananda and will take whatever form and action needed to protect and uphold this sacred root of truth. Use your gifts wisely.
Above and Below the Clouds
The Winter Solstice marked the end of a new beginning. Christmas Day, as always, the Sun begins its yearly journey to the throne high in the daytime sky as The Moon begins her bow honoring her beloved.
The Sun's journey this year starts with a private dance with his beloved, The Moon, and sets off the first Eclipse Season for 2020 on Dec 26th-Jan 10th. Eclipse season, or as I like to call it "The Window of Clarity." Eclipse's shine light into areas we avoid or don't usually see, for better or worse (which in the end is always better), and empowers us to action we wouldn't usually take. Eclipses also set the theme for the upcoming year.
This potent New Moon Solar Eclipse has 7 Planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto & Ketu) in the fiery sign of Sagittarius (The Archer) with the Goddess of Death & Destruction at the very foundation (Mula) of our existence. That's a lot of energy in one house, our house.
Venus, The Goddess of Love in Capricorn, is leading the pack through the Galactic Center. A woman on a mission. Any woman taking charge come to mind? I'm betting Nancy Pelosi is a Capricorn. On a mission, fighting to get our country pointed in the right direction. Mars is beneath them all. Interestingly enough, Mars is directly connected to the Muladhara Chakra, the root of everything, and on the low side can express as dominant male energy.
What happens in the Macrocosm happens in the Microcosm.
Going into a new decade and 2020 with such a potent Eclipse season is bound to bring about another year of transformation, for better or worse. One that individually and collectively will have all of us looking back over this past decade exclaiming, "Hindsight is 2020," and more than ready to make more corrections.
What's at the center of your Universe?
What do you hold sacred above all else?
Are your roots profoundly grounding or diminishing you to death?
Prepare for Eclipse Season and a New Theme: Stand tall, pressing down into your feet, and extending up through the crown of your head. Grab your Bow & Arrow and prepare to take aim. Be aware, journal, expose a root, and discriminate whether to pull, prune, replant, or destroy.
Fear not, you are divinely protected, loved, and cherished.
