How to harness the energy of Eclipses
Eclipses are powerful cosmic events that can bring about significant change and transformation. Here’s how to make the most of their energy:
- Set intentions: Solar eclipses (New Moons) are ideal for planting seeds for new beginnings and manifesting your goals.
- Release and reflect: Lunar eclipses (Full Moons) are the perfect time to let go of what no longer serves you and gain clarity about your path.
- Stay grounded: Eclipses can amplify emotions and create tension. Practice mindfulness, meditation, or grounding exercises to maintain balance.
- Be open to change: Eclipses often bring unexpected shifts. Embrace these changes as opportunities for growth and transformation.
By aligning with the energy of these celestial events, you can use eclipses as catalysts for personal and spiritual growth. Let their transformative power guide you toward a brighter future!
Understanding Eclipses: Lunar and Solar
What is a Lunar Eclipse? 🌕
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes into the Earth’s shadow. This can only happen during a Full Moon, when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon. Lunar eclipses are known for their deep emotional and reflective energy, making them a time for releasing and letting go.

What is a Solar Eclipse? ☀️
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun, partially or completely blocking the Sun’s light. This can only occur during a New Moon, when the Sun and Moon are perfectly aligned. Solar eclipses are associated with new beginnings and bold action, as they illuminate areas of life that need attention or change.

Why do Eclipses happen?
The Moon’s orbit around Earth is elliptical and slightly tilted compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Most of the time, the Moon passes above or below the Earth-Sun alignment. However, during specific New Moons or Full Moons, the Moon aligns perfectly with the Earth and Sun, creating an eclipse.
During a New Moon, the Moon blocks the Sun’s light, causing a solar eclipse. During a Full Moon, the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon, resulting in a lunar eclipse.

Susan Taylor’s insights: The importance of eclipsesThere are two main types of eclipses:
❖ At Full Moon, which always occurs in two opposite zodiac signs*, the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun. It casts its shadow on the Moon, which is eclipsed.
❖ At New Moon, the lunar disk covers the solar disk as seen from Earth. The Moon is between the Sun and the Earth; it is a Sun-Moon conjunction in the same sign of the zodiac. The Sun is eclipsed.
