Halfway Through The Eclipse Portal: Shedding Old Identities

Today is Sunday, September 14th, 2025, the exact midpoint of the Eclipse Corridor, the powerful span between the lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7th and the solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21st.

This episode of the True Self Mastery Podcast is a deep dive into what it means to stand in the liminal space. You are no longer the caterpillar, not yet the butterfly, dissolving in the cocoon of transformation.

Inside this threshold, everything old is dissolving, while the new has not yet been born. It can feel gooey, uncomfortable, and uncertain, yet this is where faith, courage, and trust are required most.

In this 15-minute transmission, you’ll discover:

✨ The significance of being at the exact halfway point of the Eclipse Corridor
 ✨ How the lunar eclipse in Pisces opened the portal of emotional release and heightened intuition
 ✨ How the upcoming solar eclipse in Virgo invites fresh starts, grounded structures, and release of perfectionism
 ✨ The cocoon metaphor: how imaginal cells dissolve the old and hold the blueprint for what is becoming
 ✨ The wisdom of my Left Angle Cross of Identification: Gates 16, 9, 63, and 64 and how their themes of truth, focus, mastery, and illumination are designed not only for my path, but to help you align with your True Self
 ✨ Reflection questions to support your release and prepare you for the new moon eclipse

This is the sacred midpoint. A time of surrender, courage, and trust. Let go of what is false. Stay devoted to truth. And trust the illumination that is guiding you toward your authentic becoming.

I'm your host Ann Vandewater, and I'm so grateful you're here. Today is Sunday, September 14th, 2025, and we are at the exact midpoint of the eclipse corridor, the powerful space between the lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7th and the solar eclipse in Virgo coming up on September 21st. This corridor lasts for about about 34 days, and it's always an intense time of endings, beginnings, revelations, and transformation. Being at the midpoint means we are in the heart of the clearing. Old identities are loosening while new possibilities are not yet formed. This is the threshold space where release and surrender prepare us for a fresh start right now we are in a liminal space we are no longer the caterpillar and we have not yet emerged as the butterfly we are in the cocoon inside the caterpillar dissolves becoming imaginal cells carrying the code of the butterfly before it ever emerges this time can feel gooey uncomfortable and disorienting because what was no longer is and what will be has yet to be born yet this in between stage is sacred it asks us to trust that even when nothing feels solid something luminous is forming it takes courage Courage, faith, and trust to remain here. Courage to let go of the old identity. Faith that the process is unfolding. Trust that you are being reformed in alignment with your true self. In human design, my life is guided by the left angle cross of identification, composed of gates six 16, 9, 63, and 64. This is my life theme and it reveals that I am here to help you identify with your true self. The left angle shows that my path is transpersonal. What I live, embody, and integrate is meant to serve others. My design is not just about me. It's about guiding you you into your own authenticity. So let's explore these four gates, which are also gene keys and are also I Ching hexagrams. So gate 16 is all about moving from indifference into enthusiasm and versatility and mastery. This is my life's work and it's also my brand. That's why I call my brand True Self Mastery. I am here to help you become a master of being your true self in your life, in your legacy, in your leadership. And I'm here to help you release doing anything that you feel and different about and to only do things that you truly love to embrace a multiplicity of things that you love and through them to become a master mastery isn't about perfection it's about showing up with passion practice and devotion to being your true self gate nine gene key nine hexagram nine is all about moving from the shadow frequency of inertia into the gift of determination to develop the superpower of invincibility. This is my evolution. I am here to help you get off the hamster wheel of doing things that are not aligned with who you really are. Instead, to become deeply determined to take step-by-step actions that honor your authentic path. Every small focus choice builds momentum. Over time, this cultivates the superpower of invincibility, a life of integrity rooted in the details of your authentic expression. I also have gate 63, gene key 63, hexagram 63, moving from the shadow of doubt into the gift of inquiry to cultivate the superpower of truth. This is my radiance. It's how I stay healthy and aligned. It's also why I am so devoted to truth in my work with you. By helping you stay connected to your own authenticity and radiance, I do the same in my life. And that is how I remain holistically healthy. Doubt is not an enemy. Doubt means don't. It's a signal that something is off. The invitation is to pause, do self-inquiry, and align with your inner guidance and authority. When you do, truth emerges and truth is healing. Truth restores health, balance, and clarity. And I also have gate 64, gene key 64, hexagram 64, moving from the shadow of confusion into the gift of imagination, cultivating the superpower of illumination. This is my purpose. It's my deepest why. Confusion is not failure. It's a threshold. In the gene keys, confusion holds the seed of imagination, the creative force that bridges the unknown. Eventually, illumination dawns and you see with clarity. I'm designed to help you stay on your illuminated path, to help you trust your imagination in times of confusion and to walk step by step toward enlightenment even before the full picture is visible together these four gates gene keys hexagrams form a living synthesis this is the work of truth focus mastery and illumination it's a sacred invitation to identify with your true self to release what is false to focus on what matters, to practice authenticity until it becomes mastery, and to trust the light, the illumination, the enlightenment that guides your path. And this is the work of courage, the courage to release conditioned identities, the courage to evolve through challenges, the courage to honor truth as your medicine, and the courage to walk the The lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 7th opened this corridor. Pisces energy brings emotional release, heightened intuition, and spiritual transformation. It asked you to balance imagination with reality, to let go of outdated patterns, and to lean into intuition. while setting healthy boundaries. The upcoming solar eclipse in Virgo on September 21st will bring new beginnings. Virgo energy is about practicality, organization, devotion, and simplicity. It invites you to release perfectionism and control and instead to build grounded structures that support authentic living. Between these two events while we are in this eclipse portal this powerful 34 day span is filled with sudden changes revelations and opportunities for growth at this halfway mark the invitation is to clear space to trust the goo the in between the liminal the space and the And to prepare for clarity and a fresh start on the new moon eclipse. How are you doing? As you stand in the cocoon, as you rest in the cocoon, as you allow yourself to surrender to the goo, ask yourself, what identities, roles, or patterns am I ready to release? where am i being called to show courage and letting go what small focus steps can i take that align with my true self what truths am i ready to honor more fully Where can I trust imagination until illumination arrives? If you're listening to this while you're driving or taking a walk, then hit pause and rewind and go back and answer these questions. If you're in a place where you can journal, then pause and write down the answers to the question. This midpoint is a sacred pause. You are dissolving into to imaginal possibility. And the butterfly within you is forming. Trust that by the time of the Virgo new moon solar eclipse on September 21st, a week from now, you will be ready to step into new beginnings rooted in truth, clarity, and authentic alignment.
