Total Solar Eclipse
At the global maximum of the eclipse, Mercury is still in Cancer. From 5:53 a.m., with its entry into Leo, the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Venus will form a stellium in this fire sign. A stellium is a gathering of four or more positions in the same sign. These four planets will be in opposition to Pluto in Aquarius and in a favorable aspect with Neptune in Aries, generating an axis of tension between the sense of transcendence of Aquarius and the need for brilliance and recognition of Leo. This eclipse will touch our sense of importance, leading us to choose between the persona we have created or the real light that dwells within us. It will be a process of cleansing and profound transformation. Pluto will confront the ego, forcing it to examine where its real power lies: in its momentary circumstances or in the Light that dwells within it. If we turn our gaze toward Neptune, which connects us with the Innermost, the Divinity, the Higher Self, that Light will manifest. The eclipse is an interrupted energy. During the 24 hours before the eclipse, while it lasts, and up to 24 hours after the eclipse has passed, the energy is stagnant. Once those 24 hours after the eclipse have passed, the energy starts up renewed. We should not begin any important project in the indicated period. Eclipse means to hide, so whatever we begin in those moments will remain hidden. If we know how to use it, it helps us leave difficult situations behind and, once the eclipse has passed, open ourselves to change and to what is new, taking advantage of its influence. A solar eclipse occurs at the beginning of the New Moon when the Moon aligns between the Sun and the Earth. In this way we can sometimes see from Earth how the Moon hides the Sun completely or partially. A solar eclipse is total when the Moon completely hides the Sun.
