Action Steps for a Lunar Eclipse

Whenever there is a lunar eclipse, you can think about it as an extra powerful Full Moon. What happens around a Full Moon is amplified when it’s a lunar eclipse. This means we want to be extra vigilant about our thoughts and behaviors. Since Full Moons are about endings, conclusions, and releasing the old so the new can come forth, it is wise to live with awareness about what this time actually means for us psychologically.

Here are some things to consider doing over a Full Moon lunar eclipse:

• Ending things that you know are holding you back

• Releasing habits that are not serving you

• Taking a moment to look at your life and acknowledge how far you’ve come 

• Celebrate yourself

• Use this time not to set intentions for the future, but to bask in everything you’ve already manifested.

• Practice gratitude.

The attitude we bring to a lunar eclipse reverberates out for six months. You could say the same thing about the intentions you set over a New Moon solar eclipse. The lunar rhythms reflect our need to slow down and contemplate, as well as our desire to plan ahead and take action.

Our lives are characterized by the ebb and flow of the New and Full Moons each month.  Perhaps now, over this lunar eclipse, you can take a moment to appreciate the cycles of nature that give our lives focus and direction, because the more awareness you have, the more clarity you receive to change your life for the better.
