🌑 The Wild Power of Eclipses: How to Survive and Thrive
Eclipses are upending, all-powerful celestial events that change who you are, how you operate and the trajectories you are going in with ferocity.
Eclipses take place every six months when the axes of the Sun, Moon and Earth intersect with the Lunar Nodes. When this happens it’s like the universe literally tidal-waving a new reality into your everyday existence.
I recently read an article titled Living in a Neighborhood That Floods, Rain or Shine and this excerpt explains in incredulous detail the natural, physics-oriented phenomenon for lunations like these:
“High-tide floods are not caused by the weather but by the twice monthly alignment of the Earth, sun and moon. When there is a full or new moon, the sun and moon exert a gravitational pull that forces tides to swell.”
Now, imagine the force of this swelling pattern resonating at 300 percent its normal strength: that’s an eclipse! Eclipses involve the Lunar Nodes, points which heighten the resonance and strength of the celestial event, dialing up the force of impact to exponential extremes.
🔥 The Life-Changing Force of Eclipses
Eclipses often usher in life-altering events and earth-shattering news.
They forge new realities over a two-year period, while also activating 10 to 12 year cycles—bringing back themes that began or ended long ago.
They aren’t just mental or emotional events, but physical ones too: fatigue, illness, sleeplessness.
But despite challenges, these great forces also bring incredible opportunities and a reminder that we’re alive, can roll with the tides, shift, change, transform, adapt to new realities and thrive.

Sleep Cycle Disruptions
Dreams can be vivid and powerful while everything is eclipsing. You might sleep heavily, or not at all—wired with insomnia. Sometimes it’s both, swinging between extremes.Physical Illness or Injuries
Eclipse pressures hit the body. Illness, back pain, random breakouts—yes, you can blame that zit on the eclipse.Shocking Events
Not every eclipse is cataclysmic, but they often bring sudden events that reroute life’s trajectory.Energy is All Over the Place
From boundless vitality to total depletion in minutes. Life can feel like it’s running at 300 percent speed, because it is. Eclipse season is intense, energizing, and exhausting all at once.
🌕 Tips for Handling an Eclipse Moment
Open up your schedule. Create space for randomness and rest.
Just be. Don’t push yourself. Simply exist.
Witness. Let events unfold. Integration will come over the next six months or even within the full two-year cycle.
Expect disarray. Things will be chaotic—inside and outside. Authenticity beats composure.
Get support. Lean on your people. Your loved ones desire to help you right now.
Trust divinity. Remember a greater order is holding you, even when life gets wild.
If this eclipse season is rocking your world, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I’d love to help you find meaning, direction, clarity and peace in the chaos.
