three eclipse

Lots of changes are going on. Can you feel the energy shifts? We are in the midst of a very strong three-eclipse period. On July 7th, we had a lunar eclipse, which always occurs during a full moon. It is when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and the full Moon temporarily appears dark. The full moon brings expansive energy, so keep your eyes and ears open to take advantage of opportunities and support while avoiding the dangers. It is a good time to reassess your goals and life plan, as it was in Capricorn, ruler of business, infrastructures and ancestors.

On July 21-22, we experienced a total eclipse of the Sun (solar eclipse). This one was primarily only visible in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and China and lasted for 6 minutes and 30 seconds when most only last a couple of minutes. Many people in these countries celebrated the "dark dawn" as they have through the centuries with ancient rites as solar eclipses have often foreshadowed (pun intended) major life-changing events. This eclipse is in Cancer, so you are reminded to focus on family and home. Be aware of your emotions!

The last eclipse in this 3-eclipse period will occur on August 5. It will be another lunar eclipse (they always come in pairs) during a full moon. This time it is in Aquarius, ruler of the "i's" - intellect, idealism, independence and invention.

As you can see, the alignment of the planets have a major impact on events in our lives. They advise of opportunistic moments and times when you need to retract, go within and rethink. During this strong eclipse period, just take notice of what's going on around you.

I hope that you are having a great summer!
