Today is a solar eclipse, which means the moon will pass between the earth and the sun. This is considered a powerful time of transformation. It's also a new moon, which is a chance to consider fresh starts and beginnings. This is a meditation to feel the power of these events and gain insight from them.

Plan to be outdoors, if possible, at the time of the eclipse in your area. As the moon passes over the sun, close your eyes, be still, and become aware of your feelings. Pay attention to what drifts into your thoughts and consider how they might be connected to a new beginning. This is a time to ask yourself what direction to take. Let the energy of the eclipse and the new moon guide you. Write down your impressions to refer to later. Their significance may become clearer through time.

While some witches prefer not to do any magical work during an eclipse, others feel it is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of a powerful solar event. It's up to you to decide how it makes you feel and go from there.
