Planetary Transits

Before my introduction to astrology, I had no idea that the movements of the planets could have such a profound impact on us. It’s fascinating to learn that what happens in the sky is mirrored in our lives, creating cycles of growth, challenge, and transformation.

For those unfamiliar, the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu (known as the North and South Nodes in Vedic astrology) recently moved into Aries and Libra, setting the stage for the first solar eclipse within this axis on the 30th.

What to Expect During the Eclipse

When planets transit, they activate the energies of the houses they occupy in your natal chart. While the exact influence of this eclipse will depend on your unique chart, there are a few general themes to keep in mind:

• Psychological Shifts and Hidden Truths: The nodes (Rahu and Ketu) operate on a psychological level, revealing the unseen and exposing what may have been overlooked or misunderstood. Their energy is not meant to harm you, but to bring awareness to areas that need growth, healing, or release. They can amplify certain aspects of your life, encouraging you to confront your shadows and step into greater self-awareness.

• Intense Karmic Cycles: Eclipses are known for revealing what has been hidden, exposing patterns that need to be released, and triggering karmic shifts. These moments can feel intense, like sudden plot twists in the story of your life, but they often clear the path for necessary growth.

• Unexpected Clarity: If you’ve been waiting for a sign from the Universe, this is it – literally. Eclipses have a way of bringing things to the surface, making you aware of people, places, and patterns you may have overlooked.

• Breaking Free from Self-Imposed Limitations: This is a powerful time to release the beliefs, fears, and habits that have kept you playing small. The energy of this eclipse can illuminate where you’ve been holding yourself back, creating an opportunity for breakthrough.

• Emotional Highs and Lows: It’s not uncommon to feel more sensitive or reactive during this time. Be mindful of your temper, as eclipses can stir up unresolved emotions. Remember, these energies are here to help you clear the air, not create more chaos.

A Gentle Reminder

Remember, the planets and their transits are opportunities for you to dispel karma and gain new perspectives. They are divine invitations to build yourself up, realign with your truth, and break free from the self-imposed limitations that no longer serve you. That’s why you’re here – to learn, to stretch, and to evolve.

Take a Moment for Self-Reflection

As the eclipse energy builds, take some time for yourself. Go within. Write in your journal or simply reflect on the following questions. Trust what comes up, even if it feels uncomfortable. If it arises, it’s worth exploring.

Reflect and Journal

• What areas of your life have you been neglecting or avoiding?

• What self-imposed limitations are you ready to release in this season?

• Where do you want to regain control or set healthier boundaries?

• What can you do today to stay more aware of your patterns and triggers?

• How will you hold yourself accountable as you move forward?

Remember, this process may stir up some uncomfortable emotions, but that’s often a sign that you’re gaining the clarity you need to live a more intentional, fulfilling life.

Take a deep breath. You are capable. You are evolving.

Be well.
