Lunar Eclipse
A course correction
What had been difficult to understand can suddenly become clear under this eclipse, as a chance to view your path from a higher vantage point opens.
This lunar eclipse falls in the mysterious star called Shatabhisha—100 healers, also called the “veiling star” because of its power to veil and unveil secrets and hidden causes of illness.
Meditation or saying mantras during this eclipse can help break karmic patterns and shine light into blind spots.
If you're on the edge of change, it's time to rewrite old thoughts and feelings and cut free from the past.
The lunar eclipse on Aug 27-28 brings endings, new beginnings, and powerful new perspectives.
Eclipses accompany pressure and disruption but also bring meaningful course corrections. This is a time to flip the script on old thoughts and feelings and try another way.
The lunar eclipse falls in the mysterious nakshatra of Shatabhisha, which means “100 healers.” Shatabhisha is also known as the “veiling star” because of its power to veil and unveil hidden causes of illness, imbalance, and suffering. This lunar eclipse has a special power to uncover hidden information. A new awareness is rising now, with more to come in the weeks ahead.
Visible over North and South America, Africa, and Europe, during this lunar eclipse the moon will be nearly covered by Earth’s shadow.
According to Vedic Astrology, lunar eclipses occur when the full moon aligns with Rahu, the head of a celestial shadow snake who swallows the moon. Rahu’s hunger for moonlight disrupts routines, intensifies emotions, and brings something surprising.
Lunar eclipses can particularly affect feelings and emotions but can also heighten intuitive awareness. What had been difficult to understand can suddenly become clear under this eclipse, as a chance to view your path from a higher perspective opens.
A harmonic aspect now from expansive Jupiter to limiting Saturn brings maturity and the possibility to envision the future in practical terms. This auspicious alignment can support lasting positive changes, as Jupiter inspires action while Saturn helps make it sustainable.
Traditionally, it’s advised not to look directly at a lunar eclipse, as it can stir up stagnant energy too quickly. Fasting and saying mantras during the eclipse can help break up karmic patterns and reveal shadows and blind spots. Allow for a new perspective to enter—something may need to end for the next chapter to begin.
