đ What Is an Eclipse?
A celestial course correction. A shadowed spotlight. A portal for transformation.
An eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align in a powerful cosmic danceâcausing light to be temporarily blocked and shadows to fall. Itâs both an astronomical event and an energetic one, believed by mystics and astrologers to be a major reset point in the cycles of fate, karma, and soul evolution.
In simple terms?
Eclipses shake things up so you can wake things up.
đ Types of Eclipses:
đ Solar Eclipse
Happens during a New Moon when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blocking sunlight.
Spiritual theme: Sudden beginnings, revelations, and identity shifts.
Energetic vibe: Potent new startsâbut not the time to manifest. Let the Universe take the lead.
đ Lunar Eclipse
Happens during a Full Moon when the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.
Spiritual theme: Endings, releases, and emotional breakthroughs.
Energetic vibe: Intensified full moon energyâtruths rise, closures come, and clarity hits like lightning.
đŽ What Do Eclipses Mean Spiritually?
Eclipses are cosmic checkpoints. They:
- Reveal what was hidden
- Bring fated events or endings
- Fast-track lessons youâve been avoiding
- Realign you with your soul path
- Collapse timelines that no longer serve you
They can feel disruptive, but only because theyâre recalibrating your life to match your evolution. Whatâs removed during an eclipse often clears space for your next soul assignment.
đŻď¸ Should You Do Rituals During an Eclipse?
â ď¸ Eclipse Rule of Thumb:
Do less. Receive more.
Eclipses are not ideal for traditional moon rituals like intention-setting or manifesting. The energy is wild, fast, and full of shadow work potential.
Instead:
- Reflect. Journal. Observe.
- Cleanse your energy or altar.
- Rest and surrender.
- Witness what rises, without trying to control it.
- Let the eclipse show you what needs to fall away.
Mantra: âI surrender what I canât see, and trust whatâs shifting is sacred.â
