Lunar Eclipse In Aries
Updated: Nov 19, 2022
I love tracking these celestial events... A lunar eclipse is happening on November 7th/8th. The eclipse is going to happen in the Bharani nakshatra in the sign of Aries when the Moon will come under the shadow of Rahu. The Sun will be with Ketu in the sign of Libra [along with Venus] meaning the two luminaries will be with Rahu and Ketu according to the Vedic system.
Since the Moon is how we filter our emotions, this particular lunar eclipse will affect our psyche and everyone's sense of self and belonging when it comes to relating with others. Things that were hidden could be activated and come to the surface in order to be dealt with almost immediately. However, the effects of a Lunar eclipse can be experienced before or after. And will manifest in the areas indicated or ruled by those areas in your chart.
More on Bharani... In Vedic astrology, nakshatras are used to further understand the nature of the signs. The nakshatra associated with this lunar eclipse is Bharani. Bharani nakshatra, the second nakshatra of the twenty-seven nakshatras is a fierce and rajestic [action oriented] nakshatra, ruled by the Deity Yama who rules over Dharma. The symbol of this nakshatra is the yoni which represents birth and fertility. While this influence may feel intense or destructive, just like the process of birth, the concentrated energy will bring forth a new reality that needs to happen.
Elcipse can be a very spirit time due the alignment of the planets. A few things to consider to keep your mind at peace during this time are:
DON'T:
Sign contracts
Make plans to travel
Make impulsive decisions
Take mind altering substances
Watch anything that will agitate or disturb your emotions
DO:
Meditate
Journal
Say affirmations
Stay hydrated
Re-direct restless energy into creative projects
Read or study something that will help you stay in a positive mindset
Most importantly know that everything is happening for your highest good.
