Solar Eclipse
“In the timeless expanse where heaven and earth merge” Dr Pundit Roshan Singh – Jyotish Astrologer / Ayurvedic Medical Practitioner The art and science of cosmic alignment; intentional intuition & analytical calculation.
In Yoga, we spend time introspecting on self-discovery and involution.
It is equally rewarding to lift our eyes to the heavens and tune in to those astrological and astronomical events. Major planetary shifts and alignments, catalyse change. In those moments, we are told, the veils between realms are thinner and the energy stronger. In the face of change, we can adapt and adjust to accept, or we can resist, ignore or push back against any change. Time passes and change happens with or without us. Best we become co-creators in any new reality that may shape our life
All ancient cultures honoured the natural amplification, the super charge of subtle energy at auspicious times.
August 8th (8/8) is spiritually recognized as the peak of the Lion’s Gate Portal, an annual cosmic event. It features a powerful alignment between Earth, the Sun, the constellation Orion, and the star Sirius, the brightest star in the sky – often called the spiritual sun. Ancient traditions revere its alignment with the Sun in Leo as a time of heightened intuition and divine wisdom.
In numerology, the number 8 represents infinity, abundance, and karmic balance. When tripled (8/8/26), it acts as a massive energetic amplifier for manifesting goals and spiritual awakening.
We then have a slither of moon plus a parade of 6 aligned planets: Mars, Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter Uranus and Neptune before dawn on 12 August.
Tomorrow’s total Solar eclipse (12 August) is not visible to us in southern Africa. Given the weather, it would be unlikely that we see it anyway…. The energy is still electric though, as with the partial Lunar (27/28 August). Both hemispheres get to catch a falling star, Perseid meteor shower, 12/13 Aug…. so consciously align your focus on:
Manifestation: Journalling goals or chanting affirmations to call in abundance.
Releasing Blockages: Letting go of past habits or negative energies to create space for growth.
Meditation: Centring oneself to receive new “light codes” or spiritual blessings.
