Eclipse Season Information:
Astrologically speaking, eclipses are thought to bring matters to light, it's all about changing the illumination. Eclipse season helps us acknowledge truths that we haven't noticed before, or outright denied. It's about getting back on our true and authentic "Soul Path". If we've gone "off piste" a little, it will often remove the situations or people that were not right for our highest good.
I'm sure you can see where the potential problems might arise, sadly we don't always want to wake up and see. The other thing we need to bear in mind is it's not just us seeing our inner demons, everyone around us will also be having their own wake up calls. I quite often refer to Eclipse season feelings as a bit of a "pity party", because we can feel very sorry for ourselves. The "poor me" mentality is ridiculously easy to fall into. So be aware of that.
This Eclipse portal hits across the Pisces/Virgo axis. I'll share more about the upcome Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces which is due next Tuesday, the 17th September.
It's good to remember that all eclipse season is ripe with opportunity for growth. For everything I’m going to write below so you understand and don’t panic when big emotions come in – you can make enormous gains in this time on a personal level. It should feel scary and exciting because it’s new and transformational. It’s a big bold clearance to allow the space for the new. There is a new world on the precipice, can you feel the change, the tension and the desperate clinging some are doing to hold onto the known? Is that you?? Maybe have a little internal review as to what is for your highest good right now.
What’s it all about then??
Eclipses occur in groups of two or three within an eclipse season which lasts for (generally speaking) around a month. Full or New Moons hitting in this timeframe are affected, as are any close by although the effect won’t be so powerful there.
Eclipse season occurs while the Sun is within 18 degrees of one of the Moon’s Nodes, that is the points on the Moon’s orbital path where it crosses the path of the Sun. Eclipse seasons arise every six months.
Eclipse Energy.
I would imagine that the moon or sun disappearing from the sky would be fear inducing in days of old, although never underestimate lingering energy from our ancestral line (but that’s another write up). These days we’re a little better educated in that we know it’s an eclipse, no cause for alarm scientifically, the light will return and if we’re lucky we can see the experience and probably share it with everyone we know on Facebook or Instagram. So why do they still have a bad reputation??
Whilst I would never suggest fear as a useful response to an approaching eclipse, I would certainly advise caution in terms of one’s level of consciousness. Eclipses are powerful times and forces greater than us are hard at work. We often see this as some form of internal struggle where things are brought to a surface level of consciousness for us to look at. Sadly it never quite seems to be the awesome stuff happening in your life!!
We are energy, eclipse season raises energy and Bobs your uncle, we’re all having a major life review! An eclipse makes us question things in two areas of life, depending on where the energy lands in your natal chart.
However to understand the what and whys of what's happening, you must respect that this is actually your own energy (thoughts/feelings) that you’re bringing to the table, at the same time as everyone around you is doing the same. This raised energy, it heightens things. If we never questioned why we are who we are or do what we do then we would never grow…and the one thing our soul and the universe demands from us it is growth. So no, you are not cursed or blessed, you are granted awareness in the hopes that you will force change and if you don’t, the same lesson will come to you via another person, another situation…until you get it and grow.
Unstable Energy
Eclipses create very unsettled energy. The term predictably unpredictable was created for this season I’m sure. We can feel out of control and be sitting with emotions and thoughts that we wouldn’t normally bother facing. We can also promote them as some sort of crisis in our head if we’re unaware of why this is happening. I’m seeing A LOT of crazy responses to stimuli out there rather than people turning inwards and questioning their responses and genuine thoughts/feelings around a situation.
The blame game is also rife, it’s not me, it’s you! It’s almost as if someone has turbo charged us and our responses, so for goodness sake chill out and sit with things for a while rather than “bowling in” and causing carnage for no real reason. We are dangerously out of control and over reacting based on inflated energy and influences. I often say of eclipse season it’s like giving a kid sherbert or a fruit shoot – the adrenaline rush feels real! Racing ahead with some inner drive that we would normally not possess. It’s one of the reasons I won’t release or do manifesting work in eclipse season New Moons or Full Moons, it’s like energetic roulette!!
We need to remember we have a choice, we always did and not let the power control us. However, this energy is coming up for review because there’s a problem. If life is all rosy then you’ll be chilling and that’s a good thing. If not then we won’t be able to ignore or repress. We need to look for the core of the problem and deal with that rather than act in a reactionary manner.
I don’t like it?!
It’s not supposed to be easy, the old adage of anything worth having will not come easily is in this timeframe. Sometimes it is what it is and you have no choice but to go with the flow. Cry and scream about it but not everything is worth fighting, the universe will more than likely be clearing space for you for what is right and perfect. Have faith in an end game.
In honesty, you will have faced hardships and disappointments before and survived them, you have 100% success rate of making it so far which is pretty awesome odds! What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. We grow through adversity. Etc etc, hopefully you understand that sometimes it isn’t what you hoped for but it just is and we deal with it. So eclipse seasons should be welcomed along with all they have in store for us, both personally and collectively. Because whatever it is, we can rest assured that the biggest stumbling block will always be within us, in the form of our expectations and assumptions about life. Ultimately, it’s how we manage them that matters most at this unpredictable time of change.
Much love and luck, Marti. xx
