Riding the Eclipse Wave

“Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.” – S. Maraboli

Buckle up, buttercup! We're officially in eclipse season, which means the Universe is serving us a cosmic cocktail heavy on the new beginnings, unexpected plot twists, and a whole lot of "who knows what's next?!" - courtesy of the Pisces lunar eclipse on 17th September, and the September Equinox. Feeling like you're on a tilt-a-whirl? Totally understandable. The trick is to know when to hit the brakes. Can you juggle your daydreams with your actual to-do list? Maybe your daily routine could use a sprinkle of fairy dust. Escaping into your imagination is a-okay, but don't forget to RSVP to reality every now and then.

Let's spill a bit of a tea on eclipses and Pisces, shall we? It's no bueno.

In Pisces, lunar energies are particularly intense, confusing, overly emotional, triggering: imagine a cosmic water balloon fight where everyone's suddenly a sensitive crybaby - expect heightened emotions, dreamy confusions, and a whole lot of "I just need a hug" moments.

The Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is especially potent, shining a spotlight on our emotional depths, subconscious patterns, and hidden truths. With the Moon separating from Saturn's grip and venturing into Neptune's nebulous realm, expect a roller coaster of feelings, from heightened sensitivity and intuition to confusion and escapism.

This Full Moon, loosely connected with the North Node in Aries, highlights our emotional need for self-prioritization. Trust that there's no benefit in trying to control the outcome; it's simply unnecessary. Many of us tend to be overly compassionate, allowing our boundaries to be stretched thin. It's time to reconsider our ability to set and maintain limits. Practice saying "No" with kindness, even if it's just to yourself in the mirror. Remember, advocating for your needs can be incredibly empowering.

The Moon is shifting from Saturn's firm hold in Pisces into Neptune's softer but possibly tricky influence, also in Pisces. While both the Moon and Neptune are comfortable in Pisces, this shift can bring both unexpected life events and mental challenges. Some might be grieving a loss, while others may face minor setbacks. Those of us who kept processing grief or setbacks under a lock and key until now might find this Pandora's box cracked open with no other means of escaping but treading through. This upcoming month, tread slowly, leave acting impulsively only until the Aries Moon on 17th October.

This transit could leave you feeling unsettled for a while, and that's okay. Remember, this is an eclipse, so no matter the feels, ultimately what comes up during this highly activated time isn't happening TO YOU, but rather FOR YOU.

Eclipses are like lightning bolts igniting forest fires. It’s a sudden and quite violent rip into the stability of our systems. The same lightning bolt that brings down our Tower in tarot. It’s an energy that cannot be anticipated and that sucks balls (and not in a good way), but it carries with it a potent medicine of renewal. What’s burning was no longer meant for this world, and like with forest fires and certain species of pyrophytic plants – the destruction and heat of the flames are essential for their seeds to sprout.

We all feel the heat of fires burning the old world order this year, in the last days more profoundly and painfully, as the world rise to action against some pretty disgusting systems intended on challenging our oneness as humanity; through a racial divide & abuse of power. Astrologically, it can hardly be seen as a coincidence that the last weeks in yet another tumultuous run towards naming a new president of the worlds largest economy, falls into the eclipse season. Globally, this eclipse could manifest as unexpected social and political shifts. On a personal level, you may experience sudden endings, new beginnings, or revelations that force you to confront your shadow side.

It's a time of release and renewal, where the universe nudges you towards your authentic path, even if it feels a little messy.

To thrive during this intense period, prioritize self-care and emotional balance. Grounding practices like meditation, spending time in nature, and connecting with loved ones can help anchor you during turbulent times. Honor your feelings, even the uncomfortable ones, and allow yourself space to process them without judgment. For the time being, keep yourself grounded in here and now, observing what comes up, what is demanding your attention, calls for transformation - take notes but avoid any profound manifestation or spell work, major decisions or confrontations until the energy settles, as clarity might be elusive right now and metaphysical attempts like manifesting and magic tend to go SUPER HAYWIRE during eclipses. It's the 'I wanted to manifest more money & now my house burned down. I have the insurance money but nowhere to live.' energy.

A collective sigh of relief will come in the shape of another lunar eclipse in Aries on October 17th, marking the end of the 2024 eclipse season. This "almost total" lunar eclipse, visible across much of the globe, carries profound spiritual and astrological significance. It's a cosmic invitation to take one last good look at what energies, emotions and revelations bubbled up during the last few weeks and release what no longer serves us, confront our shadows, and integrate karmic lessons. The fiery Aries energy encourages bold action and self-assertion, yet also challenges us to balance this drive with compassion and mindfulness. While some may experience heightened emotions and unexpected events, remember that this eclipse signifies a powerful turning point. Embrace the transformative energy, and trust that the universe is guiding you towards a more authentic and empowered version of yourself.

Embrace the unknown with courage and curiosity. Remember, eclipses are catalysts for transformation, offering a chance to shed old patterns and step into a more empowered version of yourself. Trust your intuition, set healthy boundaries, and remember that everything is unfolding as it should.
