Libra Solar Eclipse 2024

Anchoring in the storm by finding Space

Eclipses accelerate energy and push us rapidly towards transformation. This process feels uncomfortable most of the time. Why? Because we are being pushed out of our comfort zone and into unfamiliar new-ness. So, how can we work with the discomfort? How can we turn the discomfort into medicine?

Within the storm, there is usually the most potent opportunity for healing. The more uncomfortable we are, the more healing potential perhaps. Libra reminds us that the pendulum will swing equally and the scales will tip relative to each other. Libra also shows us that the most intimate relationships we have in this life, often provide us with the greatest learning opportunities because those that are closest to us hold up the mirror. Growth is uncomfortable and ofter requires breaking, releasing and unfolding in order to become bigger, greater and move forward. The efforts we make to control this unfolding, often end up causing more pain because we are resisting change. It causes more exhaustion through anxiety or unsustainable patterns or actions, and more bruised relationships through trying to control others or outcomes. When we are able to step into the unknown fully and freely, then we allow ourselves to be catapulted to a new level, and we have the new opportunity to spread our wings and soar along with the momentum.

We are the Alchemists. The portals are always available to us, but we have to allow space to expand. We can always travel into the liminal portal spaces in order to slow down and anchor ourselves to what is. Peer into the horizon line, the shoreline or into the woods. What exists there that we normally cannot (or choose not to see)? What is your resistance or what are you fearful of? What programming exists with in you that keeps you from stepping into those space?
The shadows and the hidden spaces are both medicine and opportunities.
