After taking a short break to recharge and reflect, I’m thrilled to be back with fresh insights and exciting updates! There’s a lot happening in the cosmos, and I can't wait to dive into it with you—starting with this upcoming Supermoon and Lunar eclipse.
Eclipse Energies: A Vedic Perspective
As we step into the shadows of eclipse season (September 17 through October 2, 2024), it's time to turn our gaze towards the ancient wisdom of Vedic astrology. In the tradition of Jyotish, eclipses are important astrological events. They are also portals to a deeper understanding of cosmic energies.
These powerful alignments of the Sun, Moon, and Earth have long been shrouded in a blend of mystery and apprehension.
Curious about eclipses as seen through the lens of Vedic astrology? Dive deeper with this comprehensive eclipse guide on eclipse energies and their astrological significance.
September 17, 2024 Lunar Eclipse - Sidereal Chart
Eclipse Energies Ahead!
Since this is a Lunar Eclipse AND a Super Moon, we are heading into a brief, but intense time period. If your rising degree, or any planet is between 1° and 3° of Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio, you may experience a more pronounced impact from this Lunar Eclipse!
The September 17, 2024 Supermoon packs a powerful punch! As the closest and largest-appearing full moon of the year, its gravitational pull on Earth - and us - is intense. Expect stronger than usual emotional impacts. This Supermoon's SUPERCHARGES the eclipse energies, potentially triggering significant life events and creating an opportunity for heightened spiritual awareness. Prepare for an especially potent period of change and transformation!
Additionally, you can see from the chart (above) that the Moon is hemmed in between Saturn and Rahu during the eclipse, which can create stronger emotional responses to this full Super Moon/Lunar Eclipse.
Venus also gets caught up in eclipse energies - weak by virtue of sign placement and at the tail end of Virgo. Venus will move into Libra the day after the Lunar Eclipse which should really benefit those with Taurus and Libra rising signs, who are ruled by Venus.
And if your birthday falls on the date of the Lunar Eclipse, the year ahead may be filled with significant changes!

To View or Not to View: A Vedic Perspective
Vedic astrology considers the eyes as "consuming organs" capable of absorbing cosmic energies through sight. During an eclipse, when the Sun and Moon, the two primary life-giving celestial bodies for our Earth are obscured during an eclipse, it's believed that negative energies are released.
Vedic tradition recommends avoiding direct viewing of eclipses.
