How to Thrive in an Eclipse Season
We hold ourselves accountable to our passive and active energetics by intersecting the lunar nodes within an Eclipse Season.
For the visionary, each physical body illuminates with our galaxy of planets filled with their own archetypal emotions and feelings aligned to the creative expression we individually have.
Including past traumas & spiritual awakenings, our south and north nodes within our birth charts symbolize our past and future. Eclipse Season karmically guides our versatile pathways, showcasing our fate as these lunar nodes illuminate.
We must desire to keep ourselves present by enforcing a nonviolent approach to life and death, making the duality of being here on Earth an in & out, ebb & flow, light & dark, wax & wane experience. This universal occurrence activates our inner and outer milky way, so let us alchemize its axis!
What is an eclipse?
What happens during an eclipse? A silhouette happens on the Solar Eclipse and the sky bloodies on a Lunar Eclipse. New Moons tend to be a moment of rebirth and require balanced higher chakras; whereas Full Moons tend to be a moment of illumination and require a balanced heart chakra.
The frenetic energy a Solar Eclipse transformation can have on us directly correlates with the Sun and Moon having identical zodiac placements and degrees. With the Moon obscuring the Sun for a moment in time, imagine it like attending a masquerade ball on the New Moon (Solar Eclipses only happen on New Moons).
The mask lands on our face, vanishing us into an unforgettable scene of effortless action, and these frequencies are then used to grow our spirituality and work with our karmic pathways.
As for Lunar Eclipses (which only happen on Full Moons), the configuration illuminates a red hue in the sky as the Moon emanates the Earth's shadow. With Earth wedged between the Sun and Moon, whether in the bedroom or in meditation, shapeshifting our bodies and breath can serve some unearthing with a wet psyche.
Two recommendations as our spiritual connection douse with wisdom during an Eclipse Season:
On a Solar Eclipse, consider adding a self-love practice to bring in fulfillment such as:
- Taking a Bubble Bath with Crystals in Sight
- Applying a Face Mask & Reading a Book
- Receiving a Full Body Massage
- Earthing or Gardening
- Creating a Nutritious Meal
On a Lunar Eclipse, release energetics that no longer serves your highest good by using this mantra:
"I give back any energy that I may have taken from others and the universe. I take back any of my energy that I may have left with others and the universe" (Bonus points waving an ethically-sourced sage stick as you say it aloud).
Your Guide to the Spring 2022 Eclipse Season
The 2022 Eclipse Season will be configured on the Taurus-Scorpio Axis. This marks sexual ambitions, earthy sensuality, and destiny for transformative change as we let go and create a fortune of opportunity for ourselves.
Oozing from the depths of our soul, these lunar cycles offer practicality, assertiveness, and mysticism. Whether living off the land or taking a psychic adventure on 'what could be,' embodying a sexy, bull-like fairy may be our best shot at manifestation this season.
Here are ways to intersect our passive and active energetics when connecting to ourselves, others, and the universe on a Taurus-Scorpio Axis:
Welcome intersectional approaches to human connection through curiosity and truth.
Ground our daily routines with consistency.
Use our words impeccably to tell the story as it is.
Use sex as a sacred energetic exchange.
Do not use sex as a manipulation tactic.
Do not overindulge in the guilty pleasures.
Unblock energy in our throat chakras.
Release energy through our sacral chakras.
Release superstition
Be careful! That plane ticket might be $31 extra to change your flight, but is that amount telling you something? You could possibly stumble across an artist on their way to work. Somehow, jumping timelines because you got a mocktail with them landing you a job as their muse in the next hit musical because they were a New York Broadway producer. At 28, you now have two Tony Awards.
OR you're just losing money.
Each of our colorful approaches to existence may take a slight change of nature, style, or energetic shift during a Solar and Lunar Eclipse. Having an intersectional approach may make a decision like purchasing that ticket to an oasis presently pleasing or powerfully-practical.
How to Work With Eclipse Season
How to deal with Eclipse Season? Instead of looking at Eclipse Season as a tug-of-war, we should flip the script into how this can benefit us. Let these types of lunar cycles influence how we collect, protect, deflect, and release the reigns of duality.
Between the practical and mystical, the realistic and the spiritual, an axis with great forces can feel like an imbalance. Instilling rituals of manifestation that look like journaling, movement, breathwork, or meditating can support our karmic destiny. Quick Plug, join me as I teach ‘Rituals of Manifestation’ alongside Andi Eaton @ouiwegirl over on ouiwestudio.com.
Okay, so when aligning to a cyclical thematic, we alchemize practical strategy with mysticism. Furthermore, when the right side of our brain and the left side of our brain neutralize, our awareness becomes a ritual itself.
As doors abruptly close and doors open to the magically-inevitable future we roam, building character and strength rather than breaking down can benefit our artistic declaration, our co-connected auras, and the duality of life during an Eclipse Season.
During the evolution that Eclipse Season can illuminate, here are ways to alchemize an axis:
Balancing Breath: Bring the left and the right fingertips together and evenly press; palms should not touch. Inhale; fully expand belly. Exhale through an 'O'-shaped mouth eight times evenly; belly button to spine on each pulse. Repeat breathwork for up to three minutes, keeping fingertips at the heart chakra.
Balancing Yogic Postures: Tree Pose (Vrikshasana), Warrior 3 (Virabhadrasana III), Headstand Pose (Sirsasana)
Try 'Eye Gazing' with a partner for up to 5 Mins! Gain awareness to the depth of their character, strength, and soul by locking eyes and breathing naturally. In addition, try balancing the breath between the two. As one partner inhales, the other partner exhales. Repeat.
Tap into the color of your essence by expressing your emotions, creatively! Bring out the arts & crafts (doodle, bedazzle, paint, scrapbook, write) OR take a dance class, and then perform that choreography to your favorite song in the genre of the original music.
Use Saunas, Hot Yoga, Hot Springs, Running, Biking
