Take some time under the new moon to connect to your light of inner knowing. Let the energy of the solar eclipse amplify your intuition in order to develop greater trust as you awaken to compassion and beauty.

According to astrology, eclipses bring rapid developments and encourage us to move in the best direction. Even if you can’t see an eclipse from your location on Earth, its energy still resonates worldwide.

The energetic effect of an eclipse often brings a “crisis moment” that pushes us out of our comfort zones and forces us to see life in a new way, which often leads to beginning and ending important chapters of our lives within a short amount of time.

Even so, solar eclipses are considered more friendly and exciting than lunar eclipses. Like new moons, they are known to bring unique opportunities, fresh starts, and destined new beginnings that propel us toward new horizons.
