Reviews – The wisdom of time – Our Relationship with the past – What we keep and what we leave behind

The essential supports of life

The need for autonomy and the search for a new direction

 The New Moon / Partial Solar Eclipse in Capricorn sets new intentions in alignment with the notions of, integrity, responsibility, limits, maturity, work, power and authority. Urges us to strengthen ourselves and take initiatives. The past is a strong theme, and we may observe ourselves reflecting on the past, pondering on experiences or people who have had an impact on our lives. There is a parallel theme of assertion, call for initiative and action, that would energise a particular field of life.  This is a South Node Eclipse  and asks us to eliminate negative patterns, obsessions, feelings of inadequacy, rejection and release things from the past. We become more conscious of the need to bring closure and gain more wisdom. We may reflect on ties that we share a history with through the years, that have either passed away or we have grown apart, and review our connection with them in the present. We may get in touch with some people we haven’t seen in a long time and illuminate facets of ourselves in a different light. Either way this is a cycle that has to do with our engagement in a social context in some way, and perhaps gaining more clarity and wisdom regarding our position in the world. It is an opportunity for a reality check at self-negating patterns, guilt, fears that burden, to reject things in order to build, clarify or implement plans, to find the right relationship between realism and expectation, between commitment and freedom. A time to take responsibility for our lives and choices. This is a cycle that asks us to make a new beginning of a structural content, that instils seriousness, sense of responsibility and the need to do the right thing, change the rules regarding our commitments, our professional obligations and goals, but also the way in which we organize our lives. We may be more aware that limitation, and discipline helps us to focus on the essence of things. We will be concerned with resources and co-dependent commitments and how they support us. The Cancer/Capricorn eclipses until mid 2020 will eventually push towards a radical re-structuring, and transformation of all essential support systems and also affect our emotional attachments, levels of security and living conditions. We may feel that our relationship with time begins to become more accurate and meaningful, but also to gradually exert more pressure that is intensified so that we become more effective, do the right thing, or  change attitudes. The need to develop our relationships and goals is pushing us towards clarifying our emotional or tribal affinity with others. There are people in our lives that connect us  with the past, with certain goals or professional endeavours, now we may become aware that this is not enough, so we either attempt to strengthen our position, or say goodbye. So, how do we connect with our past to define our relationship with our perception of reality with more clarity, maturity and wisdom? How do we define this reality? Where do we place ourselves in this reality? Surely this cycle has nothing to do with concessions and compromises, it touches critical issues. It helps us to see what we keep and what we leave behind. We take a step forward by demanding a better relationship with ourselves that will lead to a better relationship with others and will illuminate our creative existence in the environments we operate in.
