March 9th, 2016 Solar Eclipse

Posted at my FaceBook art page because the message was more-or-less hitting me in the face. (Click to enlarge)

Incidentally, the title for this image is “Tangled (The Dreaming Dryad)”. When I first painted it (2010? 2011?), I was in a period of feeling trapped. I always thought this was a dryad who sought comfort in the tree roots (whatever those may symbolise), and was subsequently caught and intertwined in them. It’s a choice point–this is a moment to awake and do whatever it takes to break free and untangle ourselves from our dreams and illusions, or it’s going to be much harder later. If we do take this chance to reach for new realisations, they have  the potential to be quantum leaps upwards and forwards.

This is the link to the webpage with the eclipse countdown and path (you can input your town/location).

I’m a Virgo, and I’m feeling the eclipse happening opposite my sun sign. I’m dealing with yet another cold virus. On the unexpected bright side, I was clearing out some space and found my late brother’s music CDs. It was a happy find. He had excellent taste. That I can listen to “his music” now and smile helps me know that I’m OK.
