Unless you live under a rock, and even then I’m sure you were aware that the Solar Eclipse passed through the world today. Whether you felt affected by it or not, the Eclipse brought with it some powerful energy.
And, I can already hear all the skeptics shrieking at the thought of the all this woo-woo, mumble jumble. I assure you this is not foolish nonsense, but energy, physics to be exact.
I also get that there are all kinds of thoughts, theories (some even conspiracy theories), biases, beliefs, and creative perspectives on what an eclipse actually represents and whether it truly has any kind of impact on our lives, the matrix, and the timelines we operate in.
I was one of the skeptics. Ten years ago, I would have scoffed at the idea of energy and collective consciousness, and well the entire spiritual landscape, to be perfectly honest. While aspects of astrology, astronomy, and numerlogoy were fascinating to me, I really didn’t take them to mean much of anything beyond mere entertainment.
That is, until I felt myself cracking open. Now while I have had several massive defining, life-altering moments in my lifetime, I wasn’t someone who was very religious or spiritual in nature back in the day. Or, at least I never would have classified myself that way. I was more of an academic, who like to explore the research, and come up with hard facts.
Yet, as I explored my curiosities, I found myself diving deeper and deeper into spiritual waters. Every time something popped, I would start with the cursory research, access the information I needed, only to find myself starved for more. I craved more. I wanted to know the material, to understand it on a deeper, more connected level.
Thus, I wanted a spiritual pathway to dance with it, unbeknownst to me at the time. I want to feel it, integrate it, and embody it.
So, I found myself seeking out spiritual teachers and conversations. I began to study the works of Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Ram Dass, Marianne Williamsom, and others. I paired this exploration with my self-help and personal development work. Eventually, that lead my to Human Design.
Since stumbling across Human Design six years ago, I have found myself go deeper and deeper into my quests for understanding and connection. I have relished in the space of contemplation, and find the dance to be quite exciting. I also have found compassion and more grace in better knowing myself once again. In coming home to me, I have found so many answers.
This leads me back to the discussion of the current Solar Eclipse that just passed through … and, for me the pathway was direct, as I live in Austin. The energy was super charged, and rather heavy. It was as if Gravity, herself, was pushing against us.
I personally felt nauseous and had a killer headache as it came through, so did my friend who is staying with me. We were taken out of our bodies to some degree, and it’s been an afternoon of processing and being gentle with ourselves.
It was very still here, too (though, also intense and dense). It’s like life did a freeze-frame for a few minutes and everything slowed down.
I know so many people who experienced similiar things, but also those who said they felt nothing. I personally think this has a lot to do with your Human Design. For me, I am very susceptible to the Aries energy moving in several parts of my chart.
As a Cancer Sun and Sun Rising, I am deeply affected with the Cardinal energy of Aries. Also, my Conscious Mars and Conscious Chiron both are stationed in Aries, along with my Unconscious Earth, Unconscious Venus and Unconscious Descendant. So, I am feeling “extra” amplification in all the energy shifting and compounding right now.
I share this because we lose sight of how energy affects us. As we each have our own design and naturally wiring, we are not impacted in the same ways. For instance, how the eclipse affected you may be different than someone who know and love. We need to stay mindful to that.
It literally took my out today. I have been feeling extremely woozy, tired, and just knocked out for a good part of the day (and, even the days building up to it). I have been excessively tired, irritable, and emotional. I have needed to ground myself a lot more than usual. I also have been needing extra water, nourishment, and comfort.
It’s been a season of extending myself space and grace, gentleness, self-love, and a ton of compassion. It has been a slowdown period, for sure.
So, if you are also feeling a lot, be gentle with yourself. For we are in the process of major upgrades (individually and collectively), and timelines are shifting. The matrix, overall, is getting an upgrade. For some, the shifting will be quick and easy. For others, it may be over the course of the next few days, or even the rest of April as we still are in retrograde season (Mercury).
Either way, you may experience a hangover period once now that the eclipse has moved through. It’s okay. Listen to your body, follow your Strategy and Authority, and let your design guide you. Energetically, you know what you need right now … so, listen to your body and intuition.
Everything will ramp up exactly as it is suppose to, if you allow it to. There is no need to push right now. With the new moon coming through tonight and Gate 42 being activated, it’s a time to release all that doesn’t serve, create completions where needed, and open yourself up to expansive new.
Regardless of what you feel energetically, be mindful of the hangover period. Here are a few things you can do to be present with what is:
- Drink lots of filtered water (you may want to add electrolytes)
- Eat lots of root vegetables (such as: potatoes, cauliflower, celery)
- Ground yourself in nature (go barefeet in the grass, or hug a tree)
- Meditate and practice mindfulness
- Journal, color, or find alternate expressive outlets
- Rest and be gentle with yourself (you may want to sleep more)
- Immerse yourself in an Epsom or salt bath
As you lean into the energy moving and are simply present with it, you may start to feel greater embodiment and the courage to express who you truly are, along with quantum leaps in what you are opening up access to. Receive all of it and just be. Unexpected changes and breakthroughs may be on the horizon. Listen and trust your own inner knowing.
For the whisper within has the answer you need. Relax, breathe, and be.
