“Eclipses provide opportunities for

Introspection, Transformation, and Growth,

allowing individuals

to navigate their energy with awareness and purpose”  

A Lunar Eclipse occurs when Earth aligns directly between the Sun and Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon, and a Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon aligns directly between Earth and Sun.

The Sun and Moon are luminaries that provide Light. The Sun denotes vigour, power, and authority. The Moon symbolises the feminine and demonstrates the power of consciousness.

Eclipses,  Astrologically speaking, are illuminators that reveal hidden truths about conditions, often surprising you.  They are powerful Vedic Astrology tools that inspire life changes by uprooting complacency and moving you from one stage of maturity to the next. They are dramatic instruments that uproot and amaze you. They prompt significant decisions and actions, encouraging you to pay attention and take action One should be grateful to God for developing such an  automatic enhancing system.

Lunar and solar eclipses significantly impact individuals and the world, often coincident with significant societal events or shifts, offering a broader perspective on Global changes.  Two upcoming Eclipses, the Lunar  Eclipse on 18 Sep 2024 at 1-29deg in Pisces sign, Purva Bhadra Nakshatra,   and the Solar Eclipse on 3 Oct 2024   at 15-48deg in Virgo Sign, Hasta Nakshatra. This indicates the urgent need to be resolved before we can resume after the disclosures have stirred things up.

Pisces is the sign of feelings and the unconscious mind; a Lunar Eclipse can affect this sign, promoting introspection, healing, and emotional equilibrium. Jupiter, a beneficent planet, can guide decisions towards kindness and prudence, while Pisces represents our feelings and unconscious mind. This lunar eclipse offers an opportunity for healing and emotional equilibrium.

Subconscious patterns may emerge during eclipses, providing profound insights into your life. Most of the time, you will have a lot of junk ideas during eclipses, so disregard them. However, if you have a moment of some realisation after the eclipse that seems to be really genuine, it is time to make adjustments around those patterns that are not productive.

Salient Points about Eclipses

1. Eclipses signal Significant Life events

Eclipses, particularly Full Moon Lunar Eclipses, can bring significant events like births, marriages, and death, triggered by events outside your control. These events can bring significant changes to your life or those of those you know, revealing the true character of someone close, hence you need to  be prepared for potential discomfort.

Eclipses, cyclic events occurring every 19 years, are designed to guide individuals towards progress. They occur in a nearly exact degree and sign, highlighting the importance of examining past events and learning points from nature’s cycles.

2. With all Eclipses, something ENDS and something else BEGINS.

These Eclipses often symbolize endings and the need to let go of old habits, relationships, or situations that hinder your progress. They prompt you to recognize that certain aspects of your lives are no longer effective.  During an eclipse, you cannot return to your past since the universe wants you to evolve. You can only go ahead, and if you improve your position, we must make future choices, not previous ones.

3. What does Lunar Eclipse bring?

Full Moon Lunar Eclipses are emotional events involving memories and dreams, symbolizing transformations, self-reflection, relationships, and societal healing. They often bring on ‘Final Endings’, requiring individuals to move forward rather than backward. It’s important to remember that these are final, and breaking up should not be a plea for their return.  Eclipses encourage resilience and personal growth, bringing final endings and awareness of time passage.
