Lunar eclipses within this series are characterized by abrupt, dramatic shifts and the challenge of balancing spiritual and material pursuits. While the underlying factors simmer behind the scenes—ostensibly cloaked in humanitarian intentions but fundamentally driven by ambition and ego—the resultant unexpected reactions may unleash significant disruptions and sudden terminations.
The current eclipse on the 18th of September epitomizes the nature of its series, accentuating the power of the hidden and the erosion of boundaries. Abundant, overflowing, unmoderated emotions, combined with an atmosphere rife with illusions and a notable absence of self-restraint, might result in impulsive, ill-considered reactions. It is easy to get carried away and exacerbate issues rather than constructively resolve them. During this time, the irrational is stronger, and the challenge is to attune and adapt to the moment, allowing it to unfold organically while avoiding sharp moves and decisions. This period offers an excellent opportunity for deep introspection and exploring the depths of one’s subconscious.
The solar eclipse on the 2nd of October belongs to the series strongly linked to finalizations, particularly in partnerships and various connections. It heralds a period of self-sufficiency and independence, carrying insightful and proactive energy. The ambitions of the individual take precedence, overshadowing collaborative interests.
The actual eclipse reflects its series, exposing the challenges in communication with associates and partners on all levels. Themes of diplomacy and fairness are brought to the forefront of public consciousness but may paradoxically incite polarization rather than cohesion. It is difficult to hear the opponent, not only due to pronounced conviction in one’s correctness but also due to obscure distortions in the perception of alternative perspectives. This could engender emotionally charged and unproductive conflicts. During this period, it is best to shift the focus toward pragmatic activities that nurture emotional well-being, comfort, and stability.
The period of eclipses is often accident-prone. This time, the risk is intensified and primarily associated with conflicts (especially based on worldview differences), and biological, chemical, water, and underground hazards. Animals and pets might require additional attention.
As always in astrology, the meaning of the eclipse for each individual will depend on their natal chart.
