Catharsis Eclipse Cleaning

Naturally the Virgo Moon prelude to a hyper-scorped Uranian New Moon Solar Eclipse involves Catharsis Cleaning. How could it not? Did you think decluttering or deleting a few ‘later-never’ files from your in-box would suffice? Nup.

Don’t worry about how much time you have/don’t have between now and Tuesday’s Eclipse: Catharsis Cleaning is about intensity, not duration or diligence. Your aim is to shift stagnant energy but with Eclipses like this you often discover things.

Some examples: During the last Scorpio Eclipse Season (2013), I found someone’s parole papers – and no, I wasn’t sleuthing and nor did I know there was anything in the person’s life requiring parole.

That same moon, a friend of mine had forensic police turn up without notice to dig up her back yard to look for “an item that may be of interest to an ongoing investigation.” Nothing came of it but it altered her perspective toward the previously plebiean area and she embarked on some exceptionally amped research – previous residents, blood + bone fertilizer, atypical hydrangea hues etc.

Inadvertently Haunting The Neighbors

This time I was trying to stream some harmonic, sort of sacred geometric music but after half an hour of cussing out telcos, bluetooth and the internet of shit, I gave up on pairing devices. Leaving the house to clear my mind of the failed sonic-convergence clearing session, I noticed a few people milling around the open front door of the neighbors house two doors down.

Their smart alarm was blaring out scary, frenetic hymn music like The Omen soundtrack at a ludicrously high volume. “What utter weirdos,” I thought as I walked by.

I made a mental note to keep the cats away from their clearly deranged household and was about six more houses away when it occurred to me that I’d input some rando search term and then cranked up the volume because the speakers made no sound. I’d paired with their smart thing – I was the weirdo.

So you see, aim for that level of surrealism with your catharsis cleaning this Eclipse. If you find yourself pausing to realize or discover something, you may wish to exhale a mantra like ‘fuq it’ -perfectly plausible – or purge some people from your contacts list.

 The Vibe Police

And seriously, it does help. It’s spooky, dense energy at the moment. I was out on another walk and noticed my dog staring intently into a parked van. He’s a golden retriever so I assumed someone had left a crumb of carbs in the front seat but no – there was nobody in there. At least, there was a shadow of a person in the passenger seat but then they faded out like a flickering hologram.

However, it was something else that had captured my dog’s eye – a gold plated, blinged-up Medici-style cross was dangling from the rear vision mirror as an ornament and it was moving of its own volition. Someone, I thought, wanted us to notice it but what and why? I even peered briefly into the back of the vehicle before realizing how nuts I looked.

We can’t have or become Vibe Police, running screeds of searches on extra-sensory-perception hunches. But if we did, I’d like to think I’d be a senior Vibe Detective and I’d roster on masses of extra staff for Scorpio Eclipse seasons. So, how are you going and are you Catharsis Cleaning?
