This eclipse season started with a lunar eclipse on March 25th. It was not visible in my corner of the world, but the energies are here.
Eclipse Energies
This is what Tam V of the “Energy Almanac” has to say:
March 25 offers the first eclipse of the year in the well-balanced sign of Libra. This is the first of two eclipses and will surely help you release what may be in the way of your best goal-getting so that at the New Moon Eclipse you can set yourself up for amazing new beginnings.
Eclipses are the best doormen. You will be exposed to change. Expect it and accept it.
Wishing you full exposure and a fully illuminated path to success.
– Tam V
The New Moon eclipse she is talking about is this Solar Eclipse on April 8th. When the new moon comes between the sun and the Earth, it casts its shadow on the Earth which we see as an eclipsed sun.
What are you seeing and feeling? What are you releasing to prepare for the coming change?
This energy is not just in the moments of the eclipse, but it spreads through these weeks and beyond. Open your senses, the inner ones as well as the outer ones.
Release what is in your way and welcome the change!
Solar Eclipse
Note that every year has 2-5 solar eclipses, but the viewing area can be very limited.
This year is special because there is a swath of totality across a wide part of the United States. Plus surrounding that you can still see a partial eclipse almost any place in the entire United States.
The Date and Time map shows that in my corner of the world, the eclipse will be at least 60%.
You can look on the same website for information about the time of the eclipse in your location.
Local
The City of Cottonwood is celebrating with a viewing party. You are invited to join me plus astronomers with their telescopes trained on the sun!
Remember to wear your eclipse glasses to look at the sun or get a pair at the party.
See you there!
Plus, mark your calendar for September 17th for a partial lunar eclipse visible from my corner of the world. That will be followed by an annular solar eclipse October 2nd, seen only from the Pacific Ocean and most of South America.
