Lunar Eclipses and their Lineages
When you first meet someone new one of the first questions you ask might be, “Where are you from”? We may be interested about their family and associates as a means of getting to know them better. These are personal questions which help us better understand their life history. So is the way with a Lunar eclipse, we can learn about a “family” of eclipses by investigating its history.
Eclipses bring a vast storyline with them and can drop a wallop of their energetic signature into our lives, thus creating great shifts. Lunar Eclipses act differently than Solar Eclipses, but a Solar eclipse is at the root of every Lunar Eclipse. Solar Eclipses can seed new energy, whereas the experiences surrounding Lunar Eclipses can be aggressively or blatantly confrontational. Exposure is its greatest trait, as with “all the cards are on the table.” Lunar eclipses may elicit strong negative or positive reactions. Some of these magnificent events can be forceful or have an immediate impact, especially if it is directly contacting a planet or a sensitive point in a chart. As the eclipse cycle unfolds, it is a portend of more to be revealed, and we are often pressed with deadlines.
Our charts receive the energies of a Lunar Eclipse, some with grace and most noticeably with a shift in how issues are presented in your life. As astrologers, we want to know “what’s behind this energy,” how long it will impact the present, what is the long view, and most importantly, how we can use it positively.
Although the recent Lunar Eclipse of March 14, 2025 may now be in the past, its impact will ripple the chart for years to come!
