Eclipse Season Spiritual Meaning and Purpose

Eclipse Season Spiritual Meaning and Purpose, and the planetary alignments in astrology with the Green Hearth Witch! In astrology, eclipses tend to occur in series that bring about significant growth and spiritual revolution.

What is eclipse season? Eclipses occur in a series, typically two or three times a year, but sometimes up to five times during a busy season.

That happens pretty rarely, though. The last time that happened was in 1945 and won’t occur again until 2206.

During the season, eclipses help us leap forward in spiritual growth. Our souls become more awakened, usually by the events that trigger them in our lives.

If you want to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and humanity, the eclipse season will make that possible. It suddenly catapults you forward, bringing great upheaval to your life.

It might sound scary, but as your soul continues to grow, you begin to look forward to learning life lessons. Tower moments are what set you on the right path to where you are supposed to be.

To describe an eclipse, it feels like the intensity of the supermoon is in overdrive. While eclipses can be intense, they can also be incredibly healing and transformative.

It triggers new awareness of the issues we’ve been repressing, some even as far back as our childhood wounds and trauma. Eclipses are like an intense form of shadow work.

Shadow work is a psychological term used to describe our dark, shadow self and our ego mind. When we work on integrating our shadow self with our light self, healing truly begins!

Eclipse Season Spiritual Meaning and Purpose

The spiritual meaning of eclipse season is soul growth and transformation. I like to think of the eclipse season as graduation day.

Throughout the year, our soul builds on many experiences, tower moments, and life lessons. Eclipses are the culmination of everything we learned.

When we finally learn the lesson, we can move on to the next big thing. That’s the whole point of being here on this earth: to live a human life and learn lessons that help us gain wisdom and insight.

Eclipse season is our gateway to awakening. It’s a great time to evaluate our lives and see where we need to transform. It forces us to recognize our true selves.

I also find eclipse season can be a powerful time to speak our truths from an authentic place. This can come after months of pushing down our feelings until finally, they rise to the surface for deep, emotional healing.

Even though eclipse season can be a dark and difficult time, it creates collective soul consciousness. It helps us become better humanitarians and bridges the gap between spirituality and the mundane world we live in.

Eclipse Season Spell Uses

For witches, eclipse season can be an optimal time to perform spells that bring beneficial changes to your life. The type of spells you do should be focused on deep, emotional healing. Many of my current spells are geared toward heart healing and transformation, which pairs perfectly with eclipse energy!

Eclipse season is a magical time to practice letting go and trusting the universe, even when you’re in the middle of a tower moment. Tower moments are based on the tower tarot card in the tarot card deck.

Tower moments are periods of major upheaval that seem to come out of nowhere. These are the pivotal moments that change our lives forever.

Spells for transformation, change, and transitions are highly welcomed during eclipse energy. In addition to that, I have found eclipse season is the perfect time to create a major glow-up in your life!

So, next time an eclipse rolls around, start thinking about what needs to change in your life. What direction is the eclipse trying to push you in? Believe me, you’ll see the signs and know.

Eclipses tend to push us where we need to go by sheer force and effort. Major life events might suddenly fall from the sky.

Eclipse Tower Moments

  • Moving to a new home

  • Pregnancy and childbirth

  • Getting laid off from work/job search

  • Major glow-up in life

  • Breakups and divorce

  • Going back to school

  • Starting therapy or marriage counseling

  • Empty nest syndrome as children leave the nest

  • Bankruptcy and financial disruption

  • Sudden weight loss or gain

As you can see, eclipse season can create physical changes as well as emotional growth in the healing process. Many of these things will seem sudden and disruptive, but they all serve the purpose of moving you to a higher level.

Maybe your current job is sucking you dry, and it’s time to go into business for yourself. Perhaps breaking up with your romantic partner will lead to a partner who is better suited to you. Whatever it may be, eclipse season is here to set you free!

You might be pushed out of your comfort zone for a bit, but once the dust settles, you’ll be in a much better position in life. Just know that whatever you are going through will pass, and you’ll be sitting pretty soon enough!
