The Spiritual Meaning of Eclipse Season
During eclipse season, life tends to speed up and changes may feel sudden or inevitable. Things may change before we fully understand what’s going on. It’s like the intermission of a play: the lights dim, the curtain falls, and you can hear the scenery being rearranged without being able to see it. Eclipse cycles work the same way. Our lives are being reshaped behind the scenes, although the results are not yet clear. Still, there is a strong sense that important changes are taking place.
