Solar Eclipse Sunday! Magical ‘Fire’ consumes what you want to release
Revolutionize your life
The metaphor of throwing what you want to let go into the fire of the eclipse is being celebrated around the world in a few different ways – Losar or Tibetan New Year or Shivaratri in India – the day before this New Moon is about dissolving negativity and releasing attachments.
It also happens to be a solar eclipse which amplifies the theme of release. You can turn ideas, patterns, beliefs about how the world ‘is’, beliefs about yourself around when you are open to letting them go on solar eclipse days.
And this solar eclipse happens to be a ring of fire (there are different kinds of eclipses).
***The time of Greatest Eclipse (GE) or Maximum Eclipse is Sunday Feb 26 at 14:53 UTC or 9:53 am ET / 6:53 am PT. (see link at end of this article to find your local time)
HERE’S WHAT TO DO DURING THE ECLIPSE OR DAY OF THE ECLIPSE:
- Be safe and stay indoors if you can or be MINDFUL of drivers and pedestrians if you need to go out.
- Meditate or find a quiet out of the way place (or say mantra or pray)
- Stay inside and rest, fast or take a bath (being in water during solar eclipses is a good thing)
- Sometime during the four hours of the eclipse, name to yourself a pattern, an opinion, an outlook, an obstacle, private suffering or a belief you no long want to have and offer to the image of fire in front of you.
- Choose ONE habit you might want to reverse.
Do you want to take a break from media or have a technology fast?
Do you want to reverse a food addiction or unhealthy habit?
ANY improvements you can make in reversing addictions or habits, whether it is technology, news, shopping, sugar, alcohol, smoking or swearing will solidify your healthy routines for the next six months.
Feel what it is like to no longer have this burden, emotion, or belief – see what you look like without thinking that this is holding you back, and just sit with it.
Release or burn your burdens, suffering or despair in the ‘fire’ of the eclipse.
This is a time of release, or reversing patterns and of letting go. It is a time of revolutionizing how you think (the eclipse and New Moon is in an air sign of Aquarius in the Vedic map system and connected with ideas or patterns of belief) or how you THINK the world to be. If you have been disappointed lately, or confused or felt blocked by something, then be open to what you would be with the blockage – imagine what it is like to not have that burden. See how it feels to let that go.
And wake the day after the eclipse by being open to doing things differently with your new ‘world view’. Take action from this new place with the new moon on Feb 26th . What if the world was based solely on love and respect? What if we spoke, acted and drove our cars with that motto?
Might our trip to the grocery store be a bit different now?

This is the time to find some quiet place, to meditate and release what burdens you or just try and allow the quiet to wash over you. Often this is a window into deep insights you have been thinking about for the past week – do not jump on them yet – but see if it is a window into a new perspective about yourself, your relationships or family patterns.
