An eclipse is something that many people hope to witness in their lifetimes. It is a dramatic astrological event that has the potential to shake up your life in countless ways. It’s definitely not something to be ignored-eclipses may be rare, but their impact can be life changing.
There will be an annular solar eclipse on September 1. The eclipse will only be visible in Madagascar and Central Africa, but just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean you won’t be feeling its effects! Here’s your guide to the upcoming solar eclipse so you’ll know what to expect no matter where you are:
- Eclipses are known to bring about life’s biggest events.
There’s a reason that people in ancient times planned for eclipses and held huge rituals to mark their occurrence-they were known for causing huge changes. It could mean the news of a birth or a death, a huge financial gain or loss, a marriage or a divorce.
- Eclipses can also signal important endings.
Eclipses can mark someone exiting your life for any number of reasons. They could mark the end of a certain career path, or the end of living in a certain location. After all, there can be no new beginnings without endings-one chapter has to end before the next can begin.
- Eclipses can cause unexpected surprises-both positive or negative.
The most important thing to remember about eclipses is that we usually cannot adequately prepare for the changes that they will bring. These changes often come out of the blue with very little warning. If it’s a positive surprise, it’s not much of an issue-everyone loves a good surprise! But if it’s something negative, it can really throw you off balance. Just be open to any possibilities, even if they seem far fetched-you truly never know what an eclipse could bring.
- Eclipses reveal major truths.
You may realize something about yourself that you never wanted to admit. You may be forced to acknowledge red flags about someone that you’ve been trying to ignore. You might finally see that a certain relationship just isn’t right for you, or figure out who you were supposed to be with all along. Confronting such truths can be a difficult, painful process, but there’s no denying that it’s necessary. An eclipse can help you start living authentically by recognizing who you truly are and who you need to surround yourself with.
- It’s important to guard your emotions before and after an eclipse.
These changes don’t necessarily happen on the day of the eclipse-they could occur slightly before or after. Be ready for whatever could come your way. Know that relationships will change and life-altering events may occur. Practice self care, set aside time to focus on yourself, and reflect on everything that’s going on. You can never fully prepare for every possibility, but you CAN prepare your mindset. You may not be able to control what happens to you, but remember, you can always control how you react to it.
