The gateway for continuing to receive the POWERFUL INFLUX of energies from this final activation (SOLar Eclipse) of the Virgo/Pisces relationship axis ~ The Path of the Helpmate ~ remains open through tomorrow. The effects of this activation will continue to reveal themselves to you over the next six months.
The Path of the Help-Mate is about finding someone who is as equally dedicated to their sacred work as you are to yours and/or supports you in your sacred work. These relationships are all about the sacred work. Boyfriend/girlfriend and husband/wife relationships are often the kind of relationships where the focus is on the partner rather than the work. This focus on the partner can be a disservice to the sacred work. In these kinds of relationships, the sacred work can be put on the back burner or given up entirely. Certainly, there are exceptions to this. Disciple/Guru relationships are a very good example of The Path of the Helpmate. Both you, as the Disciple, and your Guru are focused on and dedicated to your sacred work, often being Self-Actualization/Enlightenment. Other kinds of relationships that can work well on The Path of the Helpmate are those we form in women circles. The women in your circle are as dedicated to the Circle's sacred work as you are. The key to this path is that both partners do not have to be doing the SAME sacred work. However, they both must have the same commitment and devotion to their sacred work.
The sacred work is the work you were born to do. The work is a manifestation of your purpose, You love to do this work; it brings you joy and is fueled by your passion. The sacred work is more important than anything else in your life: fame, position, money and security. It takes precedence over your other relationships, sometimes even over the Helpmate relationship itself. For instance, my sister, our friend and I co-founded a non-profit school for children with Autism, The Chase Academy. While I enjoyed the creative aspect of starting up the school and worked for the school from time-to-time, it is not my sacred work. It is my sister's sacred work. She eat, drinks and sleeps this work. There is no conversation you can have with her that does not end up coming back to this work. Our friend is my sister's Helpmate. She is committed to and supports the work. Most importantly, she is a steadfast supporter of my sister in the work. All the same, our friend does not eat, drink and sleep the work.
As I continue to discuss the activation of The Path of the Helpmate, it is essential for you to know what your sacred work is and who your helpmate(s) are, so that you can view them through the lens of what I am sharing. By doing this, my intention is for you to gain some wisdom and clarity around how this Path's activations over the past two years have expanded you and shown up in your life.
Because the February 26, 2017 SOLar Eclipse at 8°12' of Pisces is the FINAL activation of the Virgo/Pisces axis, I feel it is important to look closely at the cycle we are completing. This cycle began back in 2015. Allow yourself to really drop-in deeply to remember what you were experiencing at each of these eclipses. If you are familiar with your natal astrological chart, look at it to discover if any of these eclipses conjoined planets in your chart, activating their shamanic medicine for you as well. Each eclipse was an activation of The Path of The Helpmate AND a personal Initiation for you! Each succeeding Initiation further expanded your Consciousness. With this FINAL activation and Initiation, you are receiving the Wisdom and Gifts of this transformation in Consciousness.
Here are the key points in the cycle (from The AstroTwins: Ophira and Tali Edut):
- 3/20/15 ~ SOLar Eclipse ~ 29°PI27'
- 9/13/15 ~ SOLar Eclipse ~ 20°VI10'
- 3/09/16 ~ SOLar Eclipse ~ 18°PI56'
- 9/01/16 ~ SOLar Eclipse ~ 09°VI21'
- 9/16/16 ~ Lunar Eclipse ~ 24°PI20'
- 2/26/17 ~ SOLar Eclipse ~ 08°PI12'
Last year, I wrote a blog post about the SOLar Eclipse activation of Pisces that was occurring at that time. I encourage you to (re)read it to help you on your journey of discovery through this Virgo/Pisces cycle. The most interesting point for me is that last year's SOLar Eclipse in Pisces coincided with MahaShivratri as does this FINAL activation.
The fourteenth day of every lunar month, or the day before the new moon, is known as Shivratri. Among all the twelve Shivratris that occur in a calendar year, Mahashivratri, the one that occurs in February-March is of the most spiritual significance. On this night, the northern hemisphere of the planet is positioned in such a way that there is a natural upsurge of energy in a human being. This is a day when nature is pushing one towards one’s spiritual peak. ~ IshaA SOLar Eclipse always occurs on a New Moon. The New Moon occurs when the Moon passes in front of the Sun and blocks out most of the Sun's light. The effect of this is like a Cosmic "power outage." The darkness of the power outage casts a shadow on our lives. A SOLar Eclipse is a good opportunity for us to:
- tie-off any loose ends that we may have in our lives, thereby completing any unfinished business,
- look within ourselves to become more aligned with our Authentic Self, and most especially,
- be conscious of what we are inspired/desire to create, so that we can choose the seeds we will plant.
So, let's look a little closer at what this FINAL activation of The Path of the Helpmate means for Humanity. This SOLar Eclipse is once again in Pisces, ruler of the 12th House, both ruled by the planet Neptune. Pisces represents the Ocean of Consciousness ~ all that is Unmanifest ~ Source ~ the abode of God and Goddess. The 12th house represents the Collective Unconscious and our personal unconscious. The planet Neptune is our Cosmic Pipeline to Source, and in the 12th house, a pipeline into our unconscious. While Lunar Eclipses, which occur at the Full Moon, are associated with Illuminating our Shadow Self, I feel SOLar Eclipses are an even more powerful opportunity for this deep-dive into our unconscious to discover our false beliefs. Indeed, our current SOLar Eclipse in Pisces, which is conjunct transiting Neptune, is a uniquely auspicious opportunity for this transformational work, a "sacred work" which re-empowers us (Pluto in Virgo opposite the Eclipse). At this time of the SOLar Eclipse, which is also conjunct the South Node (karma), we can weed out our negative samskaras, so that, with the Grace of MahaShivaratri, we can become liberated from samsara (the cycle of death and rebirth).
According to yogic philosophy, we’re born with a karmic inheritance of mental and emotional patterns ~ known as samskaras ~ through which we cycle over and over again during our lives. ... In addition to being generalized patterns, samskaras are individual impressions, ideas, or actions; taken together, our samskaras make up our conditioning. Repeating samskaras reinforces them, creating a groove that is difficult to resist. Samskaras can be positive ~ imagine the selfless acts of Mother Theresa. They can also be negative, as in the self-lacerating mental patterns that underlie low self-esteem and self-destructive relationships. The negative samskaras are what hinder our positive evolution. ~ Yoga JournalFor me personally, right now, my progressed Sun (Divine Father ~ Shiva) is in Pisces and my progressed Moon (Divine Mother ~Shakti) is in Virgo. YES, They are currently on the Virgo/Pisces axis. Together, They are my Sacred Helpmates. They have helped me to clarify my sacred work. With my North Node at 29° Cancer in my 1st House of the Self, my sacred work is healing and nurturing my Inner Child. Every one of you become my Helpmate in this endeavor. That is because my Mercury is in Aquarius in the 7th House of Partnerships. By communicating with you, and learning about you through your Shamanic astrological charts, I learn about myself. By working with you to uncover the shadow aspects your father-daughter relationship is mirroring to you, so that you can identify your patriarchal wound(s) and the false belief(s) you internalized because of it/them, you are learning about and healing your Inner Child. In turn, this helps me to learn more about my Inner Child, so that I can better nurture her.
This SOLar Eclipse is also conjunct my natal Chiron (Pisces) and opposite my natal Pluto (Virgo). I have been diving deep into my unconscious, uncovering my shadow aspects and discovering my patriarchal wounds and false beliefs. With the Shamanic medicine of my natal Chiron being infused with a new level of potency, this has been a significantly healing time for my Inner Child. More than that, my natal Pluto has been dynamically energized, so this healing for my Inner Child has been a phenomenal experience of renewal for me. My Inner Child has been reborn as a Child of the Goddess (Virgo). More so, the entire process has fully-awakened (MahaShivratri) my Inner High Priestess (Virgo), the Wisdom and Gift I have received from this transformation in Consciousness.
If you are excited about the Initiation you have received and would like a deeper understanding and more clarity, I invite you to schedule a Shamanic AstroSOL™ reading with me. When you use the code, SHIVA, I will give you a 20% discount. This offer is valid through March 12, 2007 ~ Full Moon in Virgo.
