BETWEEN TWO ECLIPSES: WHAT IS YOUR CHART ASKING OF YOU?
We are currently moving through the space between a Solar and Lunar Eclipse, a threshold period astrologers have long associated with transition, culmination, and heightened sensitivity.
Eclipses temporarily obscure what is above, yet they can illuminate what has been hidden below: memories, emotions, patterns, relationships, and material rooted deep within the subconscious.
If you have been waking during the night flooded with memories, feeling unusually emotional, restless, fatigued, physically tense, or simply needing more time alone to process what is happening, you may be feeling this eclipse cycle very personally.
For others, eclipse season can bring extraordinary clarity.
The important question isn't simply,
What does this eclipse mean? It's "Where does this eclipse fall in my chart?
An eclipse activating the 4th house may bring home, family, ancestry, and emotional foundations to the surface. In the 6th, the body, health, work, and daily rhythms may demand attention. The 7th can illuminate relationships; the 8th, intimacy, grief, shared resources, and deeper psychological material; while the 10th may correspond with changes in career, purpose, or public direction.
And the planets contacting the eclipse degrees tell us even more.
This is where astrology becomes deeply personal—and far more useful than a generalized forecast.
I also believe these periods ask us to pay closer attention to our bodies. Our emotional, physical, and energetic experiences do not exist separately from one another. Sometimes the most productive response to change is not to push harder, but to give the body an opportunity to settle, integrate, digest, and reorganize.
I've recently created new session packages for those who want greater continuity in their care through Shiatsu Therapy, Biofield Tuning, Reiki, and combined therapeutic sessions. For clients who have already experienced Shiatsu and Biofield Tuning individually, the combined session can also be a wonderful biweekly maintenance tool.
And if you're wondering why this eclipse season feels particularly personal, an Astrology Consultation or Medical Astrology reading can show you exactly where this eclipse cycle is activating your natal chart and the larger planetary story unfolding around it.
Sometimes understanding where you are in the cycle changes the way you move through it.
Whether this eclipse season is asking you to release, restructure, rest, create, or move in an entirely new direction, listen carefully to what your body is telling you. Sometimes, through the body, guidance becomes much easier to hear.
What have you been feeling during this eclipse cycle?
