"Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they do not want their illusions destroyed." ~Friedrich Nietzsche
As headline events in the United States shift and become more absurd, I cannot help but to notice that the truth of what is, is becoming more apparent. There are media sources, for example, devoted entirely to fact checking. News correspondents like Jake Tapper (a Pisces) continue to call out the lies of the Trump administration. Families that are politically divided must now address the elephant at the dinner table, and we as individuals have begun to more deeply consider where we might be lying to ourselves about the state of our own lives. It is amazing how chaos often brings clarity. As we move through this final week in-between eclipses, the chaos will continue and culminate with clarifying effects during Sunday’s Solar Eclipse.

Like most people, I find it difficult to tolerate anything that is untrue. I challenge my coaching clients to better understand their personal motivations and intentions when it comes to life decisions, as much as I challenge my own understanding. I am at the point now where my body will react if I am not being completely honest with myself, which is frustrating as hell; sometimes a lie can be comforting. “Truth” nowadays seems more like a radical concept. Alt-facts are literally trending at the same time we in society attempt to uphold traditional values of integrity. But what happens when the illusion bubble bursts? What must we face, then? What is left but to be radical when our own concept of reality is forced to change as quickly as news is reported?
There is nothing more shattering than to realize that what we thought to be true was a lie; that we may have been holding on to false notions that were never really real or plausible; that we may have been contributing to a damaging narrative just to appease our fragile egos. But just as truthful realizations can be calamitous, they can also be inspiring, like when you realize that you are in love, for example. When you want to make an important change in your life because you have discovered that it is necessary. When you can no longer hold back from indulging your creative gifts and talents. The allure of truth is sexy. I would much rather be seduced by the truth, even if it hurts, than seduced by a lie.
The Pisces Solar Eclipse offers us an opportunity to be unashamedly true. Pisces is an intuitive sign after all – a sign that transcends. If we are honest with ourselves and with what is, our lives could very well transcend to a new state of being – one that is more compassionate, more loving, more true. For some of us, this may require the dispelling of an illusion. For others, it may require the embrace of a blessing in disguise. No matter how this unfolds, allow yourself to be seduced.
