It’s my birthday today 🥳, and I want to share something that was described as mind blowing in circle last night.
Cast your mind back to September 2024 - this is when the Virgo-Pisces eclipse series that concluded with last night’s lunar eclipse first began. I asked everyone to do this in circle last night, so they could understand the relevance of this eclipse at a personal level.
Whatever began, ended, or shifted then has been slowly completing itself - and last night was the closing of that chapter.
For the people in circle, September 2024 held relationships ending, business connections dissolving, new friendships forming that have since shaped both their personal and professional lives. There was shock, realisations and a sense of how much has developed and evolved in each of our lives since that point.
And for me?
September 2024 was the month I sent my last message to my mother. The moment I cemented and communicated my decision to sever ties with her completely.
Making the decision to go no contact with a parent is never taken lightly. And the hurt, the grief, the disappointment, the feelings of abandonment - they don’t disappear the moment the decision is made. The last two years have been a rollercoaster. Painful, clarifying, confronting, and ultimately transforming in ways I couldn’t have predicted when I was in the middle of it. I know those who shared they were dealing with challenging situations back then would agree.
Personally, I have leaned HARD on my years of therapy and every tool in my mental health and self-care toolkit to navigate this. And standing here today - on my birthday, the day of a Pisces lunar eclipse that concluded a two-year chapter, I can say honestly: The chapter has closed. Fully.
I am not the same person I was in September 2024. I am stepping forward lighter, calmer, and looking ahead with a quality of excitement that I haven’t felt in a long time.
That is the gift this eclipse has given to me.
I’d love to know, if you’re happy to share, what were you navigating in September 2024? What began or ended then that has shaped who you are today?
Drop it in the comments. I’m genuinely curious. 🌕
