On November 30th, a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse begins our Eclipse Season and concludes with a Total Solar Eclipse on December 14th.
Eclipse Season is essentially a Triumphal Archway into another ever-changing facet of our lives, individually and collectively. I like to call them "Windows of Clarity." The eclipsed planet's usual energy is blocked during eclipses and the distortion between the unreal and the real vanishes, allowing you to see things as they are.
Traditionally Eclipse Season lasts between 31 and 37 days with at least one Lunar Eclipse and one Solar Eclipse, and sometimes a third with the most turbulent of changes happening between the first and second Eclipse. Comparable to a New Moon to Full Moon, but on potent steroids. The Eclipse Seasons are within another Season of the North and South Lunar Nodes. The sign of the nodes changes every 18 months. The signs and houses the nodes are in at a given time will point to the particular life area that will undergo a profound transformation, both personally and collectively.
The Eclipse Seasons within the Lunar node season symbolically represent a beginning, middle, and end. An event happens in the beginning, followed by intellectual and emotional integration in the middle and then seeing why it had to happen the way it happened and how it all makes sense in the end.
It's mind-boggling how precise and divine the cycles and seasons of Eclipses perform. Eclipse Seasons within Lunar Node Seasons also fall into what is known as the Saros Series. The Saros Series is an entire family of Eclipses that have repeating patterns that last for roughly 1280 years. The beginning Eclipse of each series and the effects extend through the entire family, providing similar effects Eclipse after Eclipse in varying degrees.
Personally, Eclipse Season has always had a gift for me. Sometimes, its gift was darkness; sometimes, its gift was light. I've fallen in love. I've fallen out of love. I've changed careers or directions. I've moved. I've moved people in. I've moved people out. Hell, one year, I strategically hid during an Eclipse Season, and well, love found me there. Subsequently, that relationship ended eighteen months later when the nodes changed, and I was yet again course-corrected. Needless to say, when the maker lays down her hand, guaranteed it's a Royal Flush.
Eclipses are known as times of endings and beginnings. Potent portals of change to allow the Universe to put us on track with our lives and where we need to be heading. Events that fall around an Eclipse are often fated, having a sense of a destiny aligning us with our path, purpose, and a higher calling.
Some potential changes may be:
- Jobs may begin or end
- Change of residence
- Relationships may end or begin
- Clarity of inspiration and intuition
You'll know you're headed for change if you feel like you are being pulled through a straw to an unknown destination before the Eclipse. If you're tired, restless, angry, or uneasy, change may be on the horizon. Devote some time to finding out what sign and house the Eclipse will fall in per your natal chart. It offers many clues as to what the focus may be. In addition, yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, and self-reflection will assist you during the season.
Regardless of what this Eclipse season brings, know that whatever happens in the portal stays in the portal, and every time the portal opens, it's there….all of it! You may not be the same person coming out as when you went in, but rest assured you'll be on the right track.
So as above, so as below
This is the first of six eclipses in the Taurus-Scorpio axis over an eighteen-month period, where these houses of your chart will go through karmic events and emotional adjustments.
The Celestial sky offers us a glimpse of what's to come.
We will be taking this journey individually and collectively. With the Moon in Rohini/Taurus, "The Star of Ascent," the mind is on security, stability, routine, and life's practicalities. Simultaneously, the Sun in Jysetha/Scorpio, 'The Elder Star," is illuminating all that needs to be addressed to have what the mind seeks. Scorpio is dark, deep, intense, and brutally nurturing to all that is hidden. Only by using the wisdom and knowledge of the elders can we ascend from the depths.
Venus is on the horizon opposite Uranus during the Eclipse, indicating bold changes in how we balance and heal.
The Celestial Skys increase in intensity as Jupiter & Saturn conjunct and commence in planetary war during the Total Solar Eclipse on December 14th. The focus will be on
Stay centered, resting in the deep recesses of your heart. From there, ask for what you need without making it wrong or right, or against this or that. What you need needs no explanation or justification.
Travel safely
