Summer Eclipses - the basics of Astronomy
2010-06-23
Eclipse dates for 2010
 
All times are Pacific Standard Time PST, unless otherwise noted
 
These times are for the peak of the eclipse.  Eclipses begin up to three hours prior to the peak and a few hours after the peak time.  Thus, for instance, you will hear me say Dec 30/31, 2009 and Jan 14/15, 2010 depending on where you live, the eclipse begins the day before and finishes the next day in pre-dawn time.
 
You will notice that eclipses occur in pairs, approximately every 6 months; solar and lunar eclipses are two weeks apart.  In 2009 there was an extra event, but most of the time we see pairs of eclipses with new and full moons, four times per year.

My guidance is an alchemy of joyful living.  I have traversed from cancer and neuroscience research to trying to understand the body through medicine and biochemistry (a degree from the University of Texas and one year medical school), to supporting WHOLE health through the practice of acupuncture and Chinese medicine (Bastyr University and China).  This system of vibrational healing led me to discover my calling in Vedic astrology and sound healing. 
 
The mind is the source of all perception, joy and suffering in the world.
 
Some of my greatest joys in life have been climbing the 18,000 foot pass of Mt. Kailas in Tibet, creating 'The essential essential oil kit' and cooking with fresh Organic ingredients from local farmers at home.  Life is Good.  Health, wealth and contentment are all possible; just what does it look like in YOUR life?
