Hi everyone and welcome to this Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse Ritual Meditation.
This special New Moon Ritual will work with the energy of the solar eclipse in the sign of Aries.
Aries is the leader,
The older brother,
And trailblazer of the Zodiac.
This energy is passionate,
Unafraid to speak their thoughts,
And be so courageously independent that they often can be testy in the face of impatience.
We'll work to balance these dynamics in this meditation.
Solar eclipses are a miraculous phenomenon which in astrology yield quite unpredictable energy and amplified lunar power.
Since the lunar energy is unstable,
Coming into a conjunction with the sun will focus more on reflecting this new moon rather than manifesting.
So we'll begin this meditation in a nice comfortable seated position.
Feet flat on the ground,
Spine nice and tall,
Crown of the head reaching towards the sky.
Sit bones and glutes are settled and snuggled in your seat.
Take a moment to let out any wiggles or any movement that you need.
Then with a deep breath in,
Begin to arrive to stillness.
Closing down the eyes or softening the gaze.
Allowing stillness and relaxation to wash over you.
Take a few deep breaths once you settle in.
Once you settle in,
Allowing the mind to clear,
The heart to open.
Connecting with the wisdom and lessons that we can learn on this beautiful solar eclipse time by listening first inward.
We'll settle into the body by inviting a breathing technique called a three-part breath.
So for this technique,
Inhale a third of the air to your throat.
Inhale another third of the air to your chest.
Then inhale another third down to your belly.
Then take one long exhale,
Letting all the air out.
We'll do that again.
Inhale a third to the throat.
Inhale to your chest.
Inhale to your belly.
And exhale out the mouth,
One long easy breath.
I'll guide you one more time.
So inhaling a third to the throat.
Inhale a third to your chest.
Inhale a third to your belly.
And exhale all the air out.
Do a few rounds of this breath on your own,
Feeling the internal energy within begin to activate.
And awaken to something deeper.
Gently release the breath.
Just allow yourself to take a few balanced inhales and exhales.
As you settle the breath,
Begin to contemplate on how the moon in Aries is eclipsing the sun in Aries,
Blotting out its light.
Reflect on what areas in your life where you let your light be dimmed to accommodate for others.
Begin to release the parts of you that fear is being seen,
That fear is being celebrated.
As the moon continues on its path and reveals the sun's light once again,
Allow all the parts of you to step into the exalted sun.
Aries is a passionate and bold cardinal fire sign with a vitality for life that can be felt everywhere it roams.
Take a moment to reflect what part of yourself can be reinvigorated with this Aries super-powered solar eclipse energy.
Where does impatience show up in your life?
Can you balance decisiveness with discernment?
Now we'll begin to use the breath to welcome in the empowering side of Aries and release the shadow parts to the sign.
Start by taking a deep inhale,
Breathing in confidence.
Start by taking a deep inhale,
Breathing in confidence.
And take a deep exhale,
Releasing any conceitedness within you.
Inhale,
Courage fills and enters the body.
Exhale,
Arrogance leaves and releases.
Inhale,
Activate your inner warrior.
Exhale,
Eradicate your impatient ego.
Taking a few more deep breaths,
Inhaling anything you need and exhaling anything you don't.
Return to the Aries.
Return to your natural breath,
Just allowing easy inhales and exhales to flow through your body.
Since unpredictable energy surrounds the solar eclipse,
Instead of manifesting during your new moon ritual,
Simply set an intention around your self-confidence for the next 29 days.
Let that intention sit in the ether of the new moon's darkness.
Imagine yourself standing in a red sand desert.
The sun shines brightly overhead,
Warming your skin and uplifting your spirits.
Glowing scarlet landscapes surround you as the new moon begins to approach the sun high up in the sky.
That warmth you felt starts to turn into a slight chill as the sun's light progressively dimmers.
It is now dark,
Sun and moon perfectly aligned in the sky.
This cosmic alignment balances your yin and your yang,
Your left side body to your right side body,
Your divine feminine and your divine masculine.
Your divine feminine and your divine masculine.
See the moon slowly cross over the sun.
The sunlight that emerges radiates the glow of confidence to your soul.
The new light opens the mind and opens the heart,
Welcoming courage and bravery.
Be receptive in stillness to any sensations that may come up.
You begin to overflow with gratitude for the sun and the moon,
For the moon's aligning powers to balance the heat of the sun.
Begin to radiate gratitude for the miracle of an eclipse.
Begin to radiate gratitude for the miracle of an eclipse,
Where one puzzle piece fits perfectly into another in our grand sky just by the pure nature of the universe.
Deepen your breath,
Gather awareness back into the body.
We'll close this meditation with a deep breath in and a loving breath out,
Fluttering the eyes open.
