“In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.” ~Francis Bacon
I agree that this “Great American Eclipse” is, in fact, an omen of things to come. That the entire Northern Hemisphere will be able to watch this cosmic event unfold is indicative of what to expect. Soon, everything will be revealed; where we have been blind, and where we need to awaken, will be made clear as day. If you have been hiding, afraid to face your greatest truth, strength, gift or fear – that is what you will be forced to see. This is where you will shine. This New Moon/Solar Eclipse is happening in the sign of Leo, so summoning your most authentic self will be required.
But first, darkness.

Before we can begin to embody our most natural light, a light that shines as bright as the Sun and illuminates the path to our own self-determined journey, we must face what lurks in the dark. We must face our shadow. Such a confrontation does not have to be filled with terror. Consider this an integration of two disparate parts that ultimately make us whole. What feels like denial, is what needs to be accepted. What feels like resistance, is what needs to be embraced. This is an unveiling – a window of opportunity that can only be experienced by a total eclipse of light with dark.
