Surviving Eclipse Season: A Practical Guide
Another cycle of eclipses is upon us, and the shifts that have been building over the last six to twelve months are coming to a head. Eclipse season marks a time of profound transformation, inviting us to reflect, release, and realign.
Eclipses, occurring in pairs of solar and lunar events, serve as catalysts for change, often bringing sudden revelations, emotional breakthroughs, and the opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us. By moving with the energy of eclipses instead of resisting it, we allow ourselves to flow into new chapters with clarity and purpose.
What Are Eclipses?
Solar Eclipse: Occurring during a New Moon, a solar eclipse opens the door to new beginnings, offering fresh perspectives and opportunities.
Lunar Eclipse: During a Full Moon, a lunar eclipse reveals what’s hidden, offering closure and emotional breakthroughs as we let go of what no longer aligns.
What to Expect During Eclipse Season
Emotional Intensity: Eclipses stir deep emotions. Be prepared for heightened sensitivity—this is your invitation to sit with what arises, allowing it to guide you toward healing.
Sudden Shifts: Expect surprises. What’s been hidden may come to the surface, offering clarity on areas of your life where you’ve felt stuck.
Releasing What No Longer Fits: Lunar eclipses, in particular, call for release. Whether it’s outdated habits, relationships, or narratives, trust that clearing space allows for something more aligned to take root.
New Directions: Solar eclipses bring fresh starts, new paths, and unexpected opportunities. Let yourself embrace new possibilities with an open heart.
How to Navigate Eclipse Season with Grace
Reflect and Tune In: Eclipse season is a time for introspection. Journaling, meditation, or quiet reflection can help you process and release what’s surfacing. Ask yourself: What am I ready to let go of? What new direction am I being called toward?
Pause on Major Decisions: Eclipse energy can cloud clarity. It’s best to wait until after eclipse season ends before making any big decisions. Let the energy settle before you take action.
Prioritize Self-Care: Rest is essential during eclipse season. Slow down, listen to your body, and nurture yourself through grounding practices like time in nature, gentle movement, or simple rituals.
Set Boundaries: Protect your energy by saying no to anything that feels draining or overwhelming. Healthy boundaries will help you stay centered during this emotionally charged time.
Trust the Process: Even when things feel uncertain, trust that eclipses are aligning you with your highest path. Change may be uncomfortable, but it’s guiding you toward greater clarity and alignment.

Guidance for Eclipse Season
Watch for Synchronicities: Pay attention to repeating patterns, numbers, or seemingly "coincidental" events. These moments offer insight into the new direction unfolding for you.
Practice Compassion: Offer grace to yourself and others. Eclipse season is intense for everyone, so extend kindness as emotions rise.
Expect the Unexpected: Eclipses often bring surprise changes. Keep your plans flexible and be open to the unexpected shifts that are moving you forward.
Rest in Acceptance: Remind yourself that life is always delivering what you need for growth. Let go of small frustrations, forgive old wounds, and clear space for what’s to come.
Commit to a Daily Practice: Discipline is key during eclipse season. Even small gestures—whether it’s three minutes of quiet, a few moments of movement, or mindful meals—can ground you in the midst of change.
Energetic Hygiene: Eclipses can leave you feeling energetically "sticky." Cleanse your space, take regular baths, and shake off stagnant energy to stay clear and grounded.
Breathe: Amid all the shifts, don’t underestimate the power of your breath. Deep, intentional breathing helps you stay present and centered through it all.
