Eclipses…or Might You Be Over-reacting?

New moons and full moons are peaks in the intersecting cycles of the sun and moon. If they tend to bring anxiety, moodiness or any other discomforting emotional state, then simple entertainment or meditation is well advised. The dates of new and full moons are available on most ordinary calendars.

With a little concentration, their symbolisms can be applied to purposeful activity. New projects are best initiated two days after the news when the drive in energy is more focused. Conversely, unfinished business from the recent past is more easily brought to closure or culmination soon after the full moons. This lunation cycle takes lace on a monthly, or “moonly,” basis.

New moons and full moons are most potent when they occur in the form of solar and lunar eclipses. The ones which apply to the present and forthcoming times are listed below. Although their effects may last only a few days (at most, up to two weeks) before or after the actual dates, the issues which arise at these times can linger “in the air” until the next set of eclipses (approximately six months later).
