How are you feeling right now?

Well, we are currently in an eclipse season. There will be a total lunar eclipse on September 7 and a partial solar eclipse on September 21. So, you can guess, generally for all, a lot of feelings are cooking up.

But I will speak about the lunar eclipse, since this eclipse will significantly influence our feelings and emotions. Because in astrology, it is the Moon that influences our inner world.

From this point forward, I will explain the concept from the perspective of Western Tropical Astrology.

The lunar eclipse will happen at 15 degrees Pisces, a sign ruled by Jupiter and Neptune. This will intensify the areas of higher learning and belief, due to the influence of Jupiter and Neptune’s intuition, spirituality, and creativity. Of course, it depends also on which house it falls in your natal birth chart.

In my chart, it falls in the 11th house, which is connected to networking, community, friendships, charity, wishes, and earned wealth. However, to fully understand the influence of the lunar eclipse, you must also analyze the opposite sign of the 11th house, which is the 5^th house in my case. The 5^th house is connected to creativity, hobbies, joy, romance, and children.

How do I feel now?

I have numerous creative ideas swirling and bubbling in my mind, and I try to organize them so I can work systematically on them and move them forward. Parallel to this, I need to work on my book and the short story I have already begun writing, while also expanding my network. The problem is time; I don’t have enough time, as I also have other duties to attend to.

So, you may already sense how I’m feeling – not really exhausted, but a mix of motivation and tiredness. Furthermore, I want to deliver a good result, and as I tend to sometimes lean towards perfectionism, that can tug at me emotionally too much.

That’s how I feel, and don’t forget that eclipses can influence up to six months.
