The Moon
Eclipses
Eclipses are simply New or Full Moons with
extraordinary alignment or focus. They have been
considered for centuries to be astrological events of the
first magnitude. If we consider New and Full Moons to
be important, then eclipses represent the keys to the
lunar cycles of the year.
We mentioned earlier that the New Moon contains an
impulse or insight that grows to fruition at the Full Moon.
Eclipses, then, provide moments when extraordinary
insight or vision are available to us. It is possible for
some of us, at least at certain times in our lives, to
experience what has been called the "vision of the
eclipse," and to remember or keep that vision in mind.
There appears to be a theme or principal insight
connected with major eclipses. Let me make clear just
what we mean here by the word vision.
