Welcome to Stars in Stillness.
A journey within and beyond.
In today's practice,
We connect with the energy of the Aquarius solar eclipse.
A wild card of beginnings and endings.
A moment where doors open and paths appear.
Eclipses can feel like a switch flipping in the dark.
Sudden,
Clarifying,
Irreversible.
Aquarius invites us to access the higher mind.
Not wisdom gained and gathered from books or even experience alone,
But the electric wisdom of direct knowing.
A flash of insight.
A tingling inner yes.
A buzzing clarity that arrives like lightning in the nervous system.
If you know where 28 degrees Aquarius lands in your natal chart,
Let that house be the stage for this eclipse,
Where the new story is being seated in you.
If you don't know,
That's perfectly fine.
Your body knows how to listen without a map.
When you're ready,
Begin to find a comfortable seat.
Maybe it's upright in a chair,
On a cushion,
Supported by a wall,
Or laying down.
Take a few moments to scan the body for any places that need extra care.
Adjust what you need to adjust so you are truly supported,
So you don't have to brace,
Perform,
Or hold yourself up.
Let this be the place you feel fully supported and present.
Now,
Bring your attention to your breath.
Without changing it,
Simply notice.
Is your breathing slow and steady,
Or swirling and shallow?
Does it feel stuck in the chest,
Hinged in your throat,
Or held in your belly?
Then very gently begin to smooth the breath.
Invite a slow inhale and an even,
Extended exhale.
Finding your inhale,
And remaining for your exhale.
As you breathe,
Matching the length as best as you can.
Drawing in a slow inhale,
Lengthening through your exhale.
Let the exhale be a signal to the body that you are safe,
You are supported.
And with every exhale,
Allow the muscles to soften.
Let the jaw unclench.
Let the shoulders drop.
Let the belly be unguarded.
Let the bones feel heavy.
Let the earth feel dependable underneath you.
Now,
Begin a quiet journey through the body.
We move through the chakras,
Rising like a current from ground to sky.
Aquarius is air,
Vision,
Intelligence,
Perspective.
But for true Aquarian clarity,
We start with grounding.
We root before we rise.
Bring your awareness to your root chakra,
At the base of your spine.
Feel your sits bones,
Your pelvic floor,
The weight of your body being held.
If you're lying down,
Feel the contact points,
Heels,
Calves,
Hips,
Back,
Shoulders.
Notice that they are being supported by gravity.
The root is where all things begin.
It is where we meet safety,
Security,
Belonging,
And primal needs.
Breathe into the root.
Inhale,
I am here.
And as you exhale,
I am held.
I am here on your inhale,
And I am held on your exhale.
Now,
Let your mind drift gently into the past.
Not a place to get stuck,
But as a place to witness and observe.
Sense the foundations you've built,
The stories that have shaped you,
The experiences that have strengthened you,
The moments you survived,
The moments you chose yourself,
The milestones you crossed without knowing you could.
On the next inhale,
Imagine drawing up strength from everything you've ever lived through.
On the exhale,
Imagine releasing what no longer needs to be carried.
Maybe those are old fears,
Outdated identities,
Beliefs built for a version of you that has already evolved.
Aquarius Eclipse is asking what structures have become too small,
What rules were inherited,
Not chosen,
What systems in your life need an upgrade?
Let that question float gently in the background.
Like a star you don't have to reach quite yet.
Shift your attention now to the sacral chakra,
The lower belly,
Just below the navel,
The center of feeling,
Creation,
Pleasure,
And emotional truth.
Begin to breathe into the sacral space.
As you breathe,
Inhale and invite warmth.
And as you exhale,
Invite ease.
Inhaling,
We invite warmth.
And on the exhale,
Invite ease.
Aquarius can live in the mind,
But the body carries truth and sensation.
Let your emotions be information.
Without needing to label them,
You ask silently,
What have I been creating out of habit instead of desire?
What have I been dimming in my aliveness to stay acceptable?
There is no pressure.
There is no need to answer.
Just listen.
As you bring your awareness to your solar plexus,
The upper belly,
The seat of will,
Confidence,
Boundaries,
Personal power.
As you breathe into this space,
Feel your core awaken.
And as you exhale,
Soften any armor.
As you inhale,
Feel the core awaken.
And on your exhale,
Release any armor.
It is here that you imagine a small inner sun,
Steady,
Golden,
Calm.
Aquarius asks for courage to be different,
To be honest,
To be free.
Let your inner sun whisper,
I can change without abandoning myself.
Inhale that in,
The light,
The vibrance.
And then as you exhale,
Exhale it into your life.
As you move now to your heart chakra,
The center of the chest,
Expand the heart space with every inhalation.
And on your exhale,
Release tension around the ribs,
The sternum,
The back of the heart.
As you inhale,
Expand the heart space.
And on your exhale,
Release tension around the ribs,
The sternum,
The back.
Feeling the softening,
The lengthening.
Aquarius is often associated with humanity,
Community,
The collective.
So here we practice love that is both personal and vast.
You might imagine your heart as a soft field of light,
Wide enough to include your tenderness,
Your grief,
Your hope,
Your longing,
And still remain steady.
Ask gently,
What kind of future does my heart actually want?
Not what's practical,
Not what's expected,
What's true.
As you bring your awareness to your throat chakra,
The channel of truth and expression,
Create space in the heart chakra.
As you breathe into your throat chakra,
Feeling each inhale,
Creating space for honesty and truth.
Aquarius speaks to authenticity,
Not rebellion for rebellion's sake.
But for the alignment of being who you are.
If it feels supportive,
Silently repeat,
My voice matters,
My truth can be kind.
I am allowed to name what I need.
And now bring your awareness to your third eye,
The space between the eyebrows,
The seat of intuition,
Insight,
Inner vision.
Noticing the slow and steady inhale and the long and slow exhale.
Now imagine a subtle current like electricity,
But gentle and intelligent.
Beginning at the base of your spine,
Traveling up through the center of your body,
Root,
Sacral,
Solar plexus,
Heart,
Throat,
And now arriving at the third eye.
As it arrives,
You may sense a tingling,
A brightness,
A quiet buzz.
You don't have to force anything,
Just simply allow.
This is the Aquarian gift,
The sudden click of perspective,
The upgrade in understanding,
The vision that arrives whole.
Now in the space of your third eye,
Imagine a dark sky.
In the sky,
Maybe you see a ring of fire,
The eclipse,
A circle of light around a shadow,
A reminder that not everything is meant to be seen at once.
Some things reveal themselves in phases.
As you gaze inward,
Let yourself receive the eclipse message.
What is ending naturally?
What is beginning?
Even if I can't fully explain it.
What wants to evolve in the stage of my life where this Aquarius solar eclipse falls?
Allow an image,
A word,
A sensation,
A memory,
Or a simple knowing to arise.
If nothing comes,
That is also guidance,
Trust in the silence.
Now place an intention,
Not a demand,
Not a rigid plan,
But a clear signal to the universe in your own psyche.
In your mind,
Complete this sentence gently.
With this Aquarius solar eclipse,
I am ready to release.
With this Aquarius solar eclipse,
I am willing to receive.
Let the intention be simple.
One sentence is enough.
Even one word is enough.
Now bring your awareness to your crown chakra,
To the top of the head,
Your connection to spirit,
To the vastness,
To the higher mind,
Beyond the thinking mind.
As you inhale,
Imagine light to the crown.
And on your exhale,
Imagine that light flowing down through your whole system,
Integrating the insight into the body.
Aquarius is vision,
But the body is the vessel.
Let this be an embodied awakening,
Not just an idea.
Take a few breaths here.
Imagine your entire body becoming a clear channel,
Grounded below,
Open above,
Earth to sky,
Sky to earth,
A steady current.
Now before we close,
Return briefly to the root.
Feel the support beneath you.
Feel the weight of your body.
Feel the steadiness in the present moment.
If the eclipse brought insight,
Let it land softly,
Like a seed placed into soil,
Not ripped open like a package.
You do not have to act on everything today.
Eclipses unfold in their own timing.
Offer yourself one final affirmation.
Choosing what you need most.
I trust the unfolding.
I welcome the upgrade.
I release what is outdated.
I step into the future with clarity and courage.
Draw in a deep inhale.
And as you exhale,
Lengthen your exhale.
As you slowly come back to a slow and steady breath,
Begin to bring gentle movement back to the body.
A wiggling of fingers and toes,
A roll of the shoulders.
If your eyes are closed,
Keep them closed for just a moment longer,
Letting the inner world settle.
And when you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
Lift your gaze,
Returning to the room,
Bringing the wisdom with you.
May this Aquarius solar eclipse clear what is no longer aligned.
May it awaken the higher mind within you.
May it open a door you didn't know you were ready to walk through.
Namaste.
