This Week’s Lunar Eclipse: Unveiling Its Potent Energy
This week’s lunar eclipse is set to be one of the most powerful celestial events of the year. In this guide, we’ll explore why lunar eclipses have such a profound impact and what this particular eclipse means for you.
Lunar eclipses are not just astronomical events; they are significant periods for transformation and revelation. They often force us to face issues and make changes that we might otherwise avoid. The universe uses these times to propel us forward, reshaping our personal narratives and pushing us toward growth. How? They bring underlying issues to the forefront, pushing us to confront aspects of our lives that may require change. It’s not necessarily easy but it is always for our good. The universe uses these moments to advance our personal stories, whether we’re ready or not. This is an attempt to get you ready.
Eclipses move things along. Go with the flow or get dragged, mes amis 🙂
What is a Lunar Eclipse?
Technically, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon and making it appear darker. This celestial alignment mirrors our internal world, illuminating our deepest feelings and emotions. However, eclipses often highlight parts of ourselves that we might prefer to keep hidden. Their purpose is to bring these elements to light so we can address them and improve our lives.
Anything to do with the moon points to our feelings and emotions. You can see why they are meaningful – and can be hard.
Fear not, dear heart. You were made for this!
Lunar Eclipses: Catalysts for Change
Eclipse periods are known for sudden, fated events. These moments can bring unexpected revelations and shifts to our conscious awareness. Rather than focusing on manifestation or pushing forward with personal goals, it’s a time for observation. This is an opportunity to witness what unfolds in our lives and how we react emotionally.
Eclipses are when fated events happen. Things rise to the surface, often out of the blue to our conscious minds. That is why it’s not a time for manifestation practices, or to push our wants ahead. It’s the opposite. It’s a time to observe, both what is happening in our lives, and our reactions to it. Especially lunar eclipses as they highlight our emotions.
It’s not about labeling events as good or bad, it’s not a time for judgment (the universe is handling that.) Instead, it’s about understanding and integrating the insights they bring. Changes during eclipse times can be challenging, but they are essential for growth. This is a period for letting go of outdated aspects of ourselves and embracing the unknown. It’s about things being shown to us about our lives and ourselves for us to integrate, accept and transmute.
How to Navigate Eclipse Energy
During an eclipse, things often happen abruptly. You might experience significant life changes, such as a job relocation, unexpected terminations, or shifts in personal relationships. While these events can be unsettling, they offer a chance to reflect and realign.
Information comes to us for a reason, after all. Here are some key questions to consider during an eclipse:
- Are my reactions aligned with what’s happening?
- Am I projecting past pain onto current situations?
- How can I handle unfolding events differently than in the past?
- Can I find joy and positivity in the midst of change?
- Am I being honest with myself about why I am in this situation?
- What beliefs are driving my behavior? Does it serve me?
- What am I being asked to let go of?
- What do I want to bring into my life?
The goal is to observe and reflect rather than react impulsively (easier said that done, I know!) This period is about accepting the changes that come our way, leading to personal evolution and deeper understanding.
Ultimately our lives will be being happier and more fulfilling for it.
Eclipses and Their Shadow Periods
Eclipses come in pairs, and their effects can be felt in the weeks leading up to and following the event. Pay attention to the two weeks before and after the eclipse, as these times are also significant. It’s the period around the eclipse where we see things happening, and they can be major. It’s not just on the day.
It’s like the universe is ripping the band-aid off something. Or rather two somethings lol as eclipses come in pairs. It has a shadow period so pay attention to the two weeks before and after an eclipse. And while what happens is around this period, the effects of this time play out for six months. Basically until the next. Seems cruel right lol? It’s not. It’s to help move things along.
I mean jeez if it was up to us would we really deal with those issues in our lives that herald change? The universe doesn’t think so either. So these times moves things along by moving themes along…
Go along or get dragged…
The impact of an eclipse can continue for up to six months, guiding us through ongoing transformations in certain areas.
