Solar eclipses vs. Lunar eclipses

Eclipses occur when the moon or a planet moves into the shadow of another.

A solar eclipse takes place when a new moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, temporarily blocking out the light of the Sun. The effect is like a spiritual power outage—you either feel wildly off center or your mind becomes crystal clear in the darkness.

A lunar eclipse takes place at a full moon, when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the moon, cutting off their “communication” and casting a blood red shadow on the full moon. Situations could pivot abruptly or come to a sudden, unceremonious halt. There’s no way around it. During a lunar eclipse, you have to deal with the stormy feelings that arise. Jolting information may come to light that redirects your journey.

How eclipses affect your life

Eclipses tend to:
• reveal hidden information that’s “hiding” in the shadows
• mark a turning point
• speed along developments
• bring swift and sudden opportunities
• herald unexpected results
