Understanding a Lunar Eclipse


A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth aligns between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow upon the moon’s surface. This captivating phenomenon can only transpire during a full moon, making it even rarer.


There are three primary types of lunar eclipses:


  • Total Lunar Eclipse: This occurs when the Earth's shadow completely engulfs the Moon, casting it into a mesmerizing hue of red or copper - earning the name Blood Moon.

  • Partial Lunar Eclipse: Only a portion of the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow, partially dimming its glow.

  • Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: When the Moon falls into the Earth's penumbral shadow, it faintly darkens.


Exploring the Shadow


A lunar eclipse plunges us into introspection and amplifies the moon's energy. As the Earth's shadow gradually obscures the full moon's brightness, we're reminded of life's cyclical nature—the dance between light and darkness, birth and rebirth. You can shed light on hidden truths and emerge with newfound wisdom if you become still enough.


Steps to Flow with the Lunar Eclipse


The lunar eclipse can be just as alluring as blood is to a vampire; it envelops the Moon and infuses its potent energy into our being. Across cultures and civilizations, people seize the opportunity to tap into the transformative vibrations that permeate this celestial event. Here are some steps to help you attune to the heightened energies of the eclipse:


  • Meditate and Reflect: Set aside sacred space and time for meditation and contemplation to invite transformative energies into your life. The energy during this time is chaotic and cannot be easily controlled. Many will find it best to move in flow rather than attempt to contain and direct this energy towards manifestations.

  • Play: Dive into whimsical ceremonies that ignite the spark of your inner child. Light candles and dance with the flame's movement, play with colorful crystals like treasures from a hidden realm, or create without the structure of adulthood. Let go of seriousness and embrace the joyous energy of the cosmic dance unfolding above.

  • Connect with the Elemental Forces: Forge a deep connection with the surrounding elemental energies. Seek out water, the Moon's sacred partner, and allow its soothing presence to wash over you, cleansing and purifying your spirit. Honor the element (air, fire, earth, or water) ruled by the Zodiac sign under which the Full Moon resides.
