1.06 capricorn lunar eclipse: leaving behind relics of the past, seeking the permanence of truth

Imani Talks Astrology

“When vision fails

Direction is lost.

When direction is lost

Purpose may be forgotten.

When purpose is forgotten

Emotion rules alone.

When emotion rules alone,

Destruction...destruction”

This is this week's quote from Octavia Butler's Parable of the Talents, Volume 2. So much of this year is about vision. How we view the past, present and future. We are asked to embrace non-linear time for we seek something that no one person can conceptualize. We all co-create and the puzzle pieces cannot form something cohesive. Some of the pieces will not exist for decades and some are waiting to be retrieved as they are carried by ancestors. But when we are blinded by rage and anger of the present, we cannot hear and we cannot act in alignment with the future. This Lunar Eclipse pushes us into an uncomfortable position where we see we are not only accountable to ourselves. Although each of us matters, our needs and thoughts do not supersede those of the collective. It's time to abandon hyper-individualism. There is not just one truth, one narrative. No one. truth or narrative is forever. We must let our physical and emotional inheritance. serve. their. purpose and then let them go. How is this possible when we hold on tight because we fear the future is out of control? Are we able to find solace in the only truth which is change.

"All that you touch

You Change.

All that you Change

Changes you.

The only lasting truth

Is Change.

God

Is Change."

- Octavia Butler
