A moment between light and shadow.
Today, I was lucky enough to receive these pictures that my neice captured in Gibraltar, something truly magical — the Solar Eclipse of 12th August 2026. ☀️🌙
There’s something incredibly powerful about watching the Moon move across the Sun. Spiritually, eclipses have long symbolised endings, beginnings, transformation and the revealing of what has been hidden.
A reminder that sometimes we have to move through the shadow before we can fully appreciate the light.
This feels like an invitation to release what no longer belongs in the next chapter, to trust the changes taking place, even when we can't yet see where they're leading us.
Let the old fall away.
Trust the pause.
Set your intentions.
And make space for what is ready to find you.
What makes tonight feel even more special is its rarity. The last total solar eclipse visible from the UK was in 1999, with totality seen from Cornwall. The next time a total solar eclipse will be visible from mainland Britain won't be until 23rd September 2090.
Tonight's eclipse wasn't total here in the Midlands nor in Gibraltar, we witnessed the partial phase, but knowing the Moon's shadow was creating totality elsewhere while we watched this beautiful crescent Sun made it feel no less magical.

Some moments aren't meant to be rushed past.
They're meant to be felt. 🌑☀️
