I’m going to share a bit about my personal experience with it — things you might relate to and reflect on — and something very personal I haven’t talked about in this way before. I’ve never met my biological father. During this eclipse portal I’ve made the most progress I’ve ever had. I’ve tried a lot of things over the years — even had someone from the FBI helping me — and now a real lead opened up through Ancestry DNA: a 27% match on my paternal side. That’s closer than my half-sister’s 23%. It could be a grandfather, uncle or half-brother. If the surname Triba (T-R-Y-B-A) rings a bell for you, that’s the name surfacing.I talk about what this stirs in the chart and in daily life. If you look at my chart, there are clear indicators around the father: Sun in the 8th house (“the Sun is the father; 8th is sudden change and transformation”), Rahu with the Sun in Aries (“part of my life path is to find myself and move away from the family of Ketu in Libra in the 2nd house”), and the Sun ruling the 12th placed in the 8th (“losses + transformation tied to father”). I also share how Moon in Ardra and the Moon being alone can mark early challenges. This is not theory for me — it’s the lived path of learning the father archetype from within when it wasn’t modeled without.Eclipse seasons are portals. With Ketu in Leo, themes of lineage, authority, leadership and family patterns get activated. Ketu takes away what’s outgrown and brings us back to what’s essential. For me it took away power for a bit through sickness, but that redirected me into the body, breath, sunlight, simple practice. “When you have good health, you have a million problems; when you have bad health, you have one.” Coming back to yoga, pranayama and 10-minute wins rebuilt momentum and clarity.We’re now in the waxing Moon window — an auspicious two weeks of new beginnings — and the second half of this eclipse story will play out over the next six months. I walk you through how to use that: note what the eclipse highlighted, put dates in your calendar, and take small consistent actions that align with the new chapter. The masculine you can trust is built in daily structure: sleep, sun, water, food, breath, practice. Atomic Habits style: “the goal is to be a meditator,” even if it’s one conscious breath. Roll out the mat for 10 minutes; you’ll often go longer.I also share why having mentors, a team and community matters. If you’re filling other people’s cups, you need people filling yours — massage, teachers, trainings, men’s group, honest friends. Eclipse season asks us to examine roles, identity, and authority. What roles are ending? What leadership do you actually want now? What patterns in the family line do you choose not to repeat?If you haven’t already, grab the free Eclipse Season Guide at quietmindastrology.com.
