Astrology is kinda having a moment right now.

in County Meath, Ireland.

Since then, humans have constructed various supernatural and scientific explanations and reactions to these celestial events.

OK, so wait what is the deal with eclipses though?

Why does it feel like they’re always some “rare” occurrence, but they’ve happened before?

Didn’t we just have one in 2017?

First, contrary to popular belief this guy is (kinda) correct.

Eclipses are not rare; they happentwice a year~somewhere~ on Earth.

However, seeing them in the same place on Earth IS rare, and total eclipses are less common.

Ok, I kinda love that.

I feel like we all need a wake-up call from time to time.

How does a solar eclipse differ from a lunar eclipse?

Didn’t we just have a lunar eclipse?

Rebecca Gordon:“Yes, we had a partial lunar eclipse on March 25, 2024.

Lunar eclipses are essentially 10x-powered versions of full moons.

Full moons signify endings.

There is no turning back.

Lunar eclipses show patterns in your life that must come to an end.

This could mean letting go of a habit, a relationship, a job, or anything else.”

So, how do you think the total solar eclipse on April 8 might impact us?

But it seems like an eclipse is kinda what you make it.

Is a solar eclipse something to be feared, or embraced?

How should we approach eclipse season?

Rebecca compared the eclipse season to a faltering radio broadcast.

She said, “The sun is like a radio station that broadcasts light and encoded information to Earth.

When the moon crosses the sun during an eclipse, the radio station shuts down.

By the end of the eclipse, that old station can no longer be found.”

But I’m not in my Saturn return season.

Could it be that the eclipse has something to do with it instead?

Oooh, I’m excited by this.

Ok, enough about me though, let’s talk about everyone else.

What might the eclipse mean for different zodiac signs?

Alright, got it?

Excited, nervous, scared, skeptical?

Don’t worry according to Rebecca, it’s natural.

Alright, phew.

Changes, reflections, and hard truths.

Accept it with open arms.

Perhaps the eclipse season is just that perfect moment to do so.

So there you have it!

Do with the total solar eclipse season as you want.

For the astrologically inclined, you’re able to keep up with Rebecca Gordon onInstagramandher website.
