Wtf is going on energetically right now?
Hello my loves,
Since I was last on here I ran my first retreat Recharge and Renew in Bali and oh my gosh it really was one of the best weeks of my life. I can’t wait to do it again next year there are already 3 confirmed retreats that haven’t officially been launched yet but I hoping it will next month in October my birthday month woohoo.
I felt really called to speak to you today about the energies at present collectively cause boy it’s a lot and if you’re not feeling it, I am genuinely so happy for you, if you’re like me and many clients and people I’ve spoken to online on Instagram huge rapid changes are on the horizon.
We are in a gateway, a bridge, an eclipse sandwich in between two eclipses. What’s really interesting about this current one is from the lunar eclipse in pisces, the next is a solar eclipse coincides with a new moon on the 2nd of October in Libra.
What do the eclipses mean?
Eclipses are not just astronomical events; they’re cosmic catalysts that can shift our lives significantly. Each eclipse occurs in pairs. The one that recently happened in September, a lunar eclipse illuminated our inner worlds, revealing what needs to be let go of, while the upcoming October solar eclipse represents new beginnings and fresh starts. Together, they form a dynamic interplay that encourages us to embrace transformation and change.
September 2024 Lunar Eclipse
The recent lunar eclipse in September invited us to look inward. What fears or limiting beliefs have been holding us back? What relationships no longer serve us? This eclipse shines a light on the shadows, urging us to acknowledge and release what we’ve outgrown. It’s a moment to honor our past experiences, but also to recognise the need for change.
Eclipses and Destiny
Now with all of this said , it’s important to also take note of the background to all of this. The shift in destiny nodes too energetically. Currently, the focus has shifted from the Aries/Libra chapter for the last year and half to now starting to introduce Pisces and Virgo energy inviting us to explore new themes in our lives.
Essentially the recent lunar eclipse was a peak of a new chapter coming in over 2025 – 2027 in the energies of Pisces and Virgo so we’re not quite there yet given Aries and Libra with the upcoming solar eclipse in Libra.
Pisces Eclipse Energy 2024
Pisces emphasises spirituality, feeling, compassion, and creativity, encouraging us to embrace vulnerability and connect with a higher purpose. In contrast, Virgo is about practicality, letting go of over-analysis, and perfectionism.
Libra Eclipse Energy 2024
Libra’s large influence continues still particularly in regards to our relationships. Libra encouraging us to evaluate existing partnerships and focus on balance and harmony where possible and healthy. This influence complements Pisces by highlighting the importance of empathy and emotional intelligence in our connections with others.
Aries Libra Eclipse Series 2023, 2024 and 2025
All in all what I am trying to say is this is part of the whole chapter series of Aries Libra energy 5 of 6 which which are complete, so have a listen to these dates to reflect upon what is going on in your life, particularly patterns and themes repeating themselves keeping in mind lunar is endings and solar is beginnings. Furthermore if you know more about your astrology you may want to see where you have placements in Aries or Libra, even if you don’t collectively we are all impacted by this energy.
You may want to pause the episode to allow yourself to do so and I’ll also be finishing this episode with journal prompts.

Aries Libra Eclipse Karma Information
It goes without saying there’s a karmic undertone to eclipse series. I had an episode back in March alluding to this so to recap and bring back to the forefront with the Aries Libra eclipse series; as it highlights themes of independence (Aries) and relationships (Libra). During this time, karmic patterns related to self versus others, autonomy, and partnership come to the forefront. Here’s how karma may play a role in this dynamic in your life:
Balancing Self and Relationships
Aries represents the self—individual desires, ambitions, and assertiveness. Libra, on the other hand, symbolises relationships, harmony, and cooperation. The eclipses in this series often bring karmic lessons where individuals are asked to strike a balance between personal independence and the needs of others. This can manifest as karmic situations where past imbalances in relationships, power dynamics, or self-sacrifice are brought up for resolution.
Revisiting Old Patterns
Eclipses have a way of revealing unresolved karma, often by bringing up people or situations from the past that trigger similar themes of individuality versus compromise. For example, if someone has been overly independent or neglectful of their relationships, this eclipse series may force them to address the consequences of that imbalance. Conversely, those who have struggled with setting boundaries or asserting their needs in partnerships might find themselves pushed to step into their personal power. Often people from the past can resurface, it’s important to tune in have they truly changed? Their actions? Their intentions so of course…
Karmic Relationships
This eclipse series may highlight karmic relationships—those connections where lessons are learned and patterns from past lives or earlier in this life are revisited. These relationships may surface during the eclipses, offering an opportunity to resolve old debts or heal wounds that have carried through cycles of reincarnation or life experiences.
Action vs. Peace, Force vs. Surender
Aries is a sign of bold action, while Libra seeks peace and balance. The karmic lesson here often revolves around knowing when to act and when to surrender. Those who have karmic imbalances in this area may find the eclipse series pushing them toward situations that force them to confront these dynamics, teaching them the importance of timing and intention in their actions and relationships.
Why am I emotional during eclipses?
Given all this, it’s common to experience emotional waves—intense feelings may surface as old wounds are reopened, new ones that arise. This can be uncomfortable but is also a vital part of the healing process. Allow yourself to feel these emotions without judgment. It’s the perfect time to reflect in however you choose to do that such as journaling or meditating.
Even look at what is going on globally collectively, we are in very much a dense upheaval phase, if you’re listening to this you’re likely an empath so very much feeling it too. Think about the nature of eclipses. An eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the sun’s light from reaching the moon, while in a solar eclipse, the moon obscures the sun’s light. Things are being illuminated on a global scale for example think about celebrities and what is coming to light or trying to be buried and hidden.
This dance of light and shadow symbolises the cycles of illumination and darkness we experience within ourselves. Just as eclipses bring temporary obscuration, we often face periods in our lives where clarity feels out of reach, and our path seems shrouded in shadow.
Letting go during eclipses
One of the most significant themes associated with eclipses is the process of letting go. Things, people, opportunities whatever out of alignment will get ‘eclipsed.’ Eclipses prompt us to release what no longer serves us—whether that’s limiting beliefs, stagnant relationships, or outdated patterns. This release can feel heavy and dense, like a weight we’ve carried for too long. However, just as the moon eventually reveals its light after an eclipse, we too can emerge lighter and more liberated on the other side of our letting go.
Upheaval and the unexpected durign eclipses
During this time in between eclipses, it’s common to experience a sense of upheaval or disruption. Unexpected events may surface, forcing us to confront what we’ve been avoiding or perhaps has been hidden in the shadows. While this can feel uncomfortable, it is also an opportunity for profound growth and transformation. The heaviness we feel often indicates that we’re shedding layers of old energy, clearing the way for new possibilities.
What I’ve really noticed amplified particularly in this season is the unexpected which you would see in my Instagram posts of late. When we encounter surprises during an eclipse, it’s essential to lean into the uncertainty rather than resist it. The universe is presenting us with an opportunity to align more closely with our true and highest selves. Embracing the unexpected allows us to adapt and grow in ways we might not have anticipated, leading to new paths and insights.
Coming back to yourself and truth
On a final note intuitively what I feel the flavour right now is a sense of things happening or coming to an end that you essentially knew already was coming. Coming back to your true self and what you truly want. Perhaps its a truth you’ve perhaps been avoiding or not fully acknowledging.
Life often has a way of circling us back to things we’ve always known deep down. We get caught in distractions, in the stories and expectations placed upon us, but there’s always a quiet inner voice—one that whispers the truths we don’t want to face. When you reach that point where things are coming to an end, it’s not a surprise, because somewhere within, you already knew this was inevitable. It’s that sense of déjà vu, that realisation that what is unfolding was always written into the path, waiting for you to see it clearly.
As things shift and close, there’s also a homecoming—coming back to your true self, the part of you that knew what you truly desired all along. It’s a time of unlearning and stripping away what no longer serves you, so you can stand in your authenticity once more. This space, the void invites you to reflect on what you truly want, beyond the noise, beyond the expectations. It’s the raw truth that was always there, waiting for you to claim it.
October solar eclipse 2024 energy
This process is both a release and a renewal—a shedding of layers and a return to the core of who you are, the dreams you hold, and the life you’ve always known was yours to live.
Thus kicks off the October new moon solar eclipse on the 2nd presents an opportunity for new beginnings and manifesting. In this phase, take time to set clear intentions for what you want to manifest in your life. What new projects, relationships, or experiences do you wish to invite in?
Practical tips eclipse season
What can really help during the in between is tapping into your intuition. The energy of the lunar eclipse has likely heightened your awareness, making it easier to connect with your inner wisdom. Spend quiet moments in reflection or meditation, asking yourself questions like, “What does my heart truly desire?” and “What steps can I take to align with my authentic self?” Trust the insights that come to you during this time. I’ve found revisiting your human design to be super helpful for many clients I am working with too.
As we navigate this transformative energy, it is so important to ground ourselves in nature whether its a beachside walk or sitting in your garden or the park, nature helps us connect with the Earth’s rhythms. It reminds us that just as the seasons change, so too can we embrace our personal transformations with grace and resilience.
