We know that the full moon can be a very powerful influence on our lives. This is a time when we choose to reflect on the intentions we set during the new moon and assess how we can move forward with our lives. It is a time of important and deliberate decision making, and the choices we make during the full moon can help guide us down the right path. On February 10, the full moon will be even more powerful because we will also experience a lunar eclipse! Yup, get ready-the first lunar eclipse of 2017 is on its way, and there’s no telling just yet what kind of changes it will have on your life. But here a few things you might be able to expect.
- You’ll feel like any emotional baggage you’ve been carrying has been cleared out.
What does a lunar eclipse look like? Well, you see the moon blotted out over the course of the night, and eventually, it is completely hidden. This represents how we often block out our emotions and try to hide our feelings, even from ourselves. We often push our real emotions under and ignore them. But after the eclipse, you’ll feel yourself begin to let go of these blocked emotions-you’ll accept the things you can’t change anymore, and begin to work on the things you can change.
- You’ll feel more in touch with your own needs and wants.
We spend a lot of our time trying to please other people-and during this eclipse, you have permission to focus completely on yourself. If you really want to get in touch with your own emotions and goals, spend a little time meditating during the eclipse. You’ll be able to go deeper inside your own mind, and you’ll get a clear idea of what you want to work towards and what YOU really need. Don’t be afraid to be selfish during this time. We all need to focus on our own path.
- You’ll be especially focused on relationship dynamics.
From your family life to your friendships, you’ll be able to clearly see where your most important connections are-and if there are any relationships you’ve been maintaining that have only come back to hurt you in the end. You will begin the process of letting go of these relationships after the eclipse. Yes, it may be difficult and it may even be painful, but it will be worth it in the long run.
- You’ll begin to desire more personal freedom.
Have you felt like anything in your life has been restricting you or holding you back lately? If you get the sense that anything in your life is not serving you and not allowing you to reach your full potential, now is the time to eliminate it. To begin a journey of self-growth and personal development, you need to be realistic about what is helping you and what is hurting you. You can’t hold on to things that don’t help you in return.
