Eclipse Spring Shake Up

Eclipse Season 2024: Lunar and Solar Eclipses in Libra and Aries

Last week, I shared a calendar to help you navigate Mercury retrograde. This week, let's explore a few other key players in this astrological party we call life. With two powerful eclipses on the horizon, it’s time to embrace transformation and harness celestial energy.

Key Dates for Eclipse Season 2024

• March 25, 2024: Lunar Eclipse in Libra (Full Moon)

• April 8, 2024: Solar Eclipse in Aries (New Moon)

  
  

What Is Eclipse Season?

Eclipse season is a six-week period (sometimes stretching to eight weeks) when the energy of the luminaries—the Sun and Moon—intensifies. For 2024, eclipse season begins with the new moon on March 10, ramps up with a lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25, peaks with a solar eclipse in Aries on April 8, and concludes with the full moon on April 23.

During this time, the Sun’s fiery drive and the Moon’s intuitive pull engage in a cosmic tug-of-war. The result? A roller coaster of emotional breakthroughs, clarity that slips through your fingers, and bursts of energy that feel like 1,000 Red Bulls. It’s intense—but it’s also an opportunity for growth and transformation.

Should You Manifest During an Eclipse?

Astrologers often debate whether it’s wise to manifest or perform rituals during an eclipse. Eclipses carry "shake things up" energy, which can feel chaotic and unstable. Collaborating with the universe under such conditions might lead to unclear or unpredictable outcomes. However, sometimes this chaotic energy is exactly what we need to shake ourselves out of stagnation. Think of it as divine intervention—akin to the Tower card in tarot.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. If you’re ready to embrace dramatic change, trust your instincts. As I like to say: You do you, boo!

March 25, 2024: Lunar Eclipse in Libra

This lunar eclipse coincides with a full moon, making it an ideal time for release. Lunar eclipses illuminate areas of life that need closure, allowing you to let go of what no longer serves you.

My Lunar Eclipse Ritual

On March 25, I plan to:

1. Release Negative Energy Around Finances: I'll complete my 2023 financial statements and symbolically hand over any lingering stress to the universe.

2. Take a Cleansing Bath: Water rituals help cleanse emotional energy.

3. Burn a Candle While Reflecting: I’ll journal about what I’m releasing and how it creates space for growth.

   
   

Journal Prompts for the Lunar Eclipse:

• What part of my life could use the most aggressive change?

• What do I need to release?

• How could a drastic shift benefit me?

  
  

April 8, 2024: Solar Eclipse in Aries

Solar eclipses align with new moons, typically a time for setting intentions and manifesting. However, the heightened intensity of a solar eclipse can cloud clarity, so tread thoughtfully when calling in new energy.

My Solar Eclipse Ritual

On April 7, I’ll prepare by working on creative projects that align with my heart and purpose. On April 8, I’ll focus on:

1. Strengthening Relationships: Spend time with people I want to grow alongside.

2. Manifesting Long-Term Goals: I’ll only focus on manifestations rooted in prior work and grounded energy.

3. Celebrating Growth: Acknowledge the progress I’ve made and set intentions for sustainable growth.

   
   

Journal Prompts for the Solar Eclipse:

• What people, achievements, or experiences currently enrich my life?

• Which areas of my life could grow with support?

• How can I nurture that growth?

  
  

Final Thoughts: Embrace Your Unique Eclipse Journey

Eclipse season invites us to take responsibility for our consciousness, goals, and personal growth. Each journey is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you choose to release, manifest, or simply ride the wave, remember that all you can do is your best. Together, as whole-ass humans, we shine brighter—like stars in a cosmic symphony.
