To the best of my recollection, I have never witnessed a Solar Eclipse before; this was my first. The entire day was spent in delicious ceremony, intentional actions further unfurling my journey into the ARMY, and regrounding myself for new life ahead!
My day began with some astrological education about this particular eclipse and the significance it will hold for me. It is a time for deep healing one's relationship to self and with others, and it's an eclipse of Forward Motion! It a time for action and for the "leader" to emerge. The energy of this eclipse magnifies manifesting energy and will remain amplified for the next six months. To me, I see this as my Basic Training and AIT (technical training) window.
Following a mini-astrology lesson, I virtually attended a super yummy sound healing by an incredible vocalist and musician I follow named Vanessa Holliday. She had prepared something special for this Solar Eclipse, and as usual, she didn't disappoint! Her soundscapes are pure magick and incredibly transcendent and transporting! Following that hour-long meditation, I regrounded myself with a hearty breakfast.
Shortly afterwards, my roommates and I packed up to go watch the Eclipse along with others of the neighborhood association. It was a very cloudy day here in Pflugerville, Texas, and yet, at the precise window of time, the clouds parted, just long enough for us to experience the full view of the eclipse! It was WILD! It was incredible how DARK it became outside that the neighborhood lights kicked on! It was also thrilling to be able to SEE the solar flares firing from the sun's surface, and how quickly light returned from those brief moments of stillness! It was truly magickal to witness!
When we returned I endeavored to perform my usual Monthly "New Moon" oracle reading. But I also decided to pull a Lenormand reading as well! Each with their own focus, but I did gain some powerful clarity from them both on how to be more mindful in my navigation of this April 2024. These readings prompted me to endeavor in some fruitful journaling for the following hours, followed by some blogging with my previous post "Hurry Up and Wait!"
I attended a Sigil making class where we set intentions for what we'd like to manifest with magickally-powerful solar energy. After the class, I chose to paint my two sigils onto a rock I harvested the day I decided I wanted to join the military. I chose a closed sigil to obtain my goal with the military, and an open sigil for that same intention to have room to further flourish over the years to come!
I also took a mindful shower to wash away the things I am ready to release and to mindful step into my new life in the military with every comb through my hair, and every stroke of makeup applied as I gussied myself up to take myself out! Treating myself to a date night is one of my favorite things to do. I get dolled up, go to my favorite sushi restaurant with my journal in tow, and luxuriate over a pot of jasmine tea and some delicious eats!
All in all, I had a magickal Solar Eclipse and all the beauty-making the day and night offered me!
What would you like to manifest over the next six months? What relationships may you be called to mend during this time?
Happy Solar Eclipse!
