Eclipse season is always a bumpy ride filled with madness and joy, tears and teasers, endings and beginnings, disaster and opportunity all served up on the same spinning plate.

After the eclipse comes its resurrection shuffle.

A gorgeous night of ritual at The Wellbeing Studio dedicated to surrender: relinquishing control, releasing expectation, banishing assumption and watching possibility expand in return. 

Blood moon beckons and the skies bear testament to her nearness now. This mad season feels less like a waxing peak, more akin to the dredging reserved for the deep dark of the moon.

As we churn through eclipse season how best to keep our heads above the whirling water? By turning down the white noise of an all too frantic world around us. Our inner library, where all the answers are written in books scribed throughout eons and dimensions beyond our mortal range, whispers to us the secrets of our universe.

Eclipses are not just singular, they are a season of change with a distinct beginning and an often all too clear end point that resonates, sometimes for months to come. Our lunar eclipse only two weeks ago was the fabled blood moon. This was an appropriately storm swept kick-off in my part of the world and heralded the start of a period of immense shifts.

If you thought this craaaazy eclipse energy was now going to settle nicely in time for your sunny long weekend, may I suggest you take a seat for a moment and pour yourself a cup of something strong. Probably not too early for shots, it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere. We are in the period between eclipses now, which can be a little like the spin cycle on your washing machine.

Eclipse season happens in series every year and this is the first for 2013, with two more to come in May. Eclipses are always times of transformation – of beginnings and endings, when our cages are rattled and life seems to tip on its axis. What happens during an eclipse often sticks – whether that is a difficult conclusion or a delicious new beginning. One thing you can be sure of during eclipse season, things will change.
