The next set of eclipses are here - they always come in pairs, 2 weeks apart, one aligns with the full moon and the other with a new moon. These particular eclipses have special meaning for me as they are in the exact same position as when I was born (they align with the nodes, north & south node) so I’m feeling the energies A LOT. The full moon on the 8th Sept will be in Pisces (North Node) and the New Moon will be in it’s opposite sign (yeah that’s how it works) in Virgo on the 22nd Sept. The first one is a Total lunar eclipse (see below for viewing times) and the second is a partial lunar eclipse. Put simply, the Nodes are like the journey of your life - South Node represents your comfort zone, the things you do and have always done & where you ‘retreat to’ or fall back to when uncertain or uncomfortable. North node represents where your Soul wants you to go this lifetime - it’s uncharted territory but that’s where the growth is and where you are destined to go - sort of like your purpose in this lifetime. Growht only happens when you step out of that comfort zone, taking a leap without knowing how it’s going to work out - yep that s**t scares the s**t out of me as I’ve spent a lot of time in the “logical” side but am learning that the best things happen for me and to me when i really do embrace the flow - For me, it show up as having the background of logic, science & practical information & application BUT my Soul is calling me to TRUST in my intuition, to listen to my gut and not my head and embody a more spiritual life. 😂 And slowly I have been making my way over to the “other’ side and learning to just “Go with the Flow” but I still have speed bumps and lump-in-my-throat times for bloody sure! Interestingly though, we need both energies, they are different ends of a spectrum, neither good nor bad, just different ways to use your energy authentically. In HD my personality nodes are in Gate 6 (south node) and Gate 36 (north node) and if you know anything about HD they’re bloody doozies!😂 The best thing I ever learnt was to “respond not react” & my nervous system, my body & my consequently my health are truly thankful. Don’t get me wrong, it can still be a challenge to not react, I am after all an Aries-fiery Moon but being a witness and observer of my emotions (which most of the time are not mine anyway ‘cos I have an undefined ESP) helps me to practice my mantra of “be a screen not a sponge” or my personal fave “not my money, not my circus)🤪 Anyhows, these eclipses will bring up this energy for everyone ‘cos it’s happening in the sky in present time & it will affect us all differently depending on your own planetary and nodal placements. If you know your charts, check out where the houses where Pisces & Virgo sit - they will give you an idea of this energy will play out for you. The weather is superb again today so hope you all get to step outside for a sunshine boost. Have a great day🥰
