Eclipse Season is a time when there is magic in the air, change in the air- and maybe even a little turmoil. It’s not the time to set your intentions, do any rituals, or work on your manifestations, however, it is the time to allow, process, and accept while things move around and reform in your life. The rule of thumb during Eclipse Season is to hold off (if you can) on making any final or life-changing decisions, as things will be drastically transforming over the next month.
When Are the Eclipses in October?
The first eclipse of this last Eclipse Season of the year happened on October 14, 2023. This eclipse is a New Moon Solar Eclipse and is in the sign of Libra. This eclipse is just the beginning and is a time when you are seeing glimpses of what you can expect not only over the next month but over the next six months, as eclipse energy tends to last until then. The final eclipse of this Eclipse Season is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 2023.
This Lunar Eclipse is the Hunter’s Moon of the year, and you can expect some significant revelations to appear, especially when it comes to love and finances. Lunar Eclipses create change, culmination, and close chapters that aren’t meant to be. Overall, it’s about progress and not perfection right now.
Trust your intuition and let your internal guidance system move you through this time.
