Eclipses are powerful cosmic tools. They bring about dramatic changes. They force us to 

re evaluate, renew, to mature and shed our old skins. And like new moons they can be used to energize new beginnings, projects, goals and intentions. Energy on this day is magnified. Whatever you are resonating at, the type of energy you are sending out will intensify. With this awareness you can make a conscious choice of what you want to magnify during these astronomical events. 
Symbolically an eclipse briefly obscures an element of ourselves in order to be revealed to us again. It is a period of heightened awareness, exposure of hidden elements, and mystery.

There are two types of eclipses: Solar and Lunar and each can be broken down to these three types:

Partial, annular or Total eclipse

Lunar Eclipse: Emotional body

 A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth  is positioned between the moon and sun, all three celestial bodies in alignment. It occurs and can be seen only at night and during a full moon. There is usually 2 lunar eclipses per calendar year but in rare cases there can be up to 5 or more.

Symbolically a lunar eclipse refers to our emotional body. Emotions we may have hidden from ourselves and others will reach its peak and bubble up to the surface in order to be healed. It is your choice how you react and interpret these experiences and it will reflect and correlate with the growth of your emotional self. Something in our lives will be highlighted and illuminated.

The next total lunar eclipse will occur January 31st 2018

A partial eclipse occurs when only a small portion of the sun is covered

An annular eclipse occurs when the moon is directly in front of sun but not completely covering its light. This creates a ring like illusion around our moon. 

A total eclipse occurs when the sun is completely obscured by the moon. 

Solar Eclipse: Mental/Physical body

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is positioned between Earth and the sun. This celestial event occurs only during daylight hours and during New Moons.Solar eclipses governs our mental and physical bodies. Symbolically it represents an awakening, the realization of a truth, a new reality, a shift in mental processes.

During this time mental and physical aspects of our lives will come to light. You will see l changes occur in your physical reality such as a change of career, the beginning of a new partnership, a new home.  You can use this celestial occurrence to bring about positive changes in these areas of your life. You  can make a conscious choice of what kind of changes you want to manifest.

The next total solar eclipse will occur August 21st 2017

Eclipses are magical astrological events. They fuel our intentions with cosmic energy that can be used to bring about positive changes and new beginnings. Use them wisely
