This Sunday, September 7th, is a very potent opportunity for transformation. The Moon will glow a deep red as as our planet experiences a total lunar eclipse — known as a Blood Moon — between 9:30am and 1:00pm Pacific Time.The eclipse will best be seen from Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe. Unfortunately, for those of us in the Americas, the eclipse will happen below the horizon — so we won’t be able to see it. But we’ll still feel it’s energy! The eclipse energy is a catalyst for change, shaking up old patterns to bring in a new phase of life and an opportunity for spiritual growth. If we choose to engage it consciously, we can use the energy of this eclypse to release the past, cleanse lingering emotions, dissolve illusions, and face difficult truths. A Blood Moon, in particular, carries the energy of emotional introspection, ancestral honoring, and profound transformation.
You may wish to create a simple ritual tomorrow to take advantage of the powerful Eclipse energy. (1) Prepare a small altar. Light a candle, place a bowl of water, and add an object that connects you with your lineage or ancestors. (2) Offer and release. Write down one pattern, belief, or heaviness you are ready to release. Safely burn or bury the paper, letting the Earth transform it. (3) Call your energy home. You could say something along these lines: “I release what no longer serves. I reclaim what has been scattered or forgotten. I align with the radiance of my soul.” (4) Reclaim your light. Place your hands on your heart. Imagine the Moon’s red glow flooding your body with vitality, wholeness, and ancestral blessing. Remain in stillness as long as you like, receiving what is offered. These eclipse hours are an invitation into silence, reflection, and renewal. Even if the Moon is hidden from view, the energetic portal is alive and available to us all. |
