A total Solar Eclipse occurs today at 3:40 PM EDT in the sign of Cancer. Its effects can be felt up to six months after the actual date of the eclipse.
In the Moon-ruled sign of Cancer, domestic issues, family, personal popularity, the public, women's interests, safety, security, food, support, our past/roots/heritage, and emotional issues will be a strong focus on a personal level. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding all of these matters. We are called upon to feed our foundation--all of that which we call "home", including the foundation we have built inside of ourselves, needs to be tended to and honored. Flaws in an important system in our lives are revealed around the time of the eclipse, prompting us to redo or to start fresh. Something ends in order for something else to start anew. We may be called to give up something in order to move forward into a new chapter in our lives. Although the "new" may be unrecognizable, it is important to allow the necessary surrender to the unknown.
The Sun sextiles Mars today, and we instinctively take action on matters important to us.
Mercury's trine to Jupiter suggests our thoughts and communications are positive and forward-looking. The Moon is in emotional Cancer all day. .

So, what to do when life asks you to reassess, reveals flaws, or makes you emotional? Today is a take action day, a day to move forward, make changes and get ahead.

No need to go crazy, let's just read, digest and think on some of this motivation:

" Sometimes we get a diagnosis that is not what you want to hear, the tendency is to say, "Oh, my god! how did I get so far away from something I want so much?" And we say, it isn't big like that at all — it's just a series of little things. It is the, "I could choose this thought which feels good, or this thought which doesn't feel so good. But I've developed a pattern for what doesn't feel good. And so, it is the daily dose of not being in the receiving mode that keeps me not in the receiving mode."
And that's all that it is!"

Abraham-Hicks

“Circumstances do not determine your state of being. Your state of being determines your circumstances. Circumstances, therefore, do not matter. Only your state of being matters...think about this- your state of being MATTERS, it brings energy into MATTER -meaning your state of being (YOU!) materialize things.”
