Eclipse Season 2022 | Guide & Tarot Spread
/Eclipse Season is one of the most important moments, magically and astrologically, of the year. In the ancient world, eclipses were treated as omens of misfortune. During eclipses, the Moon turns red and the Sun gets blocked out. The light that is usually stable and reliable suddenly become untrustworthy.
Eclipses indicate major endings and major beginnings in our lives. They are like super-powered New and Full Moons, whose effects last for the next six months, rather than 28 days. You won’t experience the full meaning of eclipses overnight. Instead, their effects are felt in waves, over time.
