Surrender, Restructure, Clarity

Eclipses signify a time of surrender reminding you that sometimes the Universe’s plans don’t quite align with what you had in mind. This month you need to accept sometimes things are beyond your control especially when navigating between closing past cycles and venturing toward new, uncharted territories.
This eclipse highlights areas needing restructuring, particularly regarding health, daily routines, and work-life balance. It clears out outdated illusions, attachments, and self-concepts to make space for new ways of thinking, relating, and being. It brings unresolved issues to the surface while inviting you to release habits, behaviors, and ways of being that don’t support your physical, mental, and spiritual health. It will offer an opportunity for deep emotional purging and inner work. In Virgo, it is an invitation to let go of patterns that keep you stuck in self-criticism, overthinking, and perfectionism while highlighting where excessive rigidity, need for control, or avoidance of responsibility may be limiting your growth.
Just hours after the eclipse, Mercury stations retrograde in the sign of Aries on the 15th. There is the need for you to reassess how you perceive reality and community thereby creating a major shift in perception as you navigate the changes unfolding within and around you. During retrogrades we go inwards instead of outwards, backwards instead of forwards, so this transit asks you to pay attention to what triggers your impulsive reactions and reconsider how you assert yourself and your ideas.
Sometimes eclipses can make you feel like nothing is as it should be.

Sometimes you have to kick down doors, re-frame, accept different viewpoints or put up with disturbances so that life can change. Your goals and desires have the power to shape your life’s observations, experiences and outcomes.
Take a long, hard look at your life.
What’s not working?
Are you holding on to things, memories, or people that only serve to add unnecessary clutter?
Is it time to let it go once and for all?
Even if you insist on hanging on, because eclipses are associated with sudden powerful change, this eclipse will find a way to force a release. A Lunar Eclipse in Virgo wants a clean slate – so it’s best to prepare for clear endings.
As we enter eclipse season, all kinds of revelations are about to appear. In the darkness of an eclipse, turning within allows you to access important insights presenting you with reality checks so you can see things more clearly and objectively than before. This can bring new awareness that can alter your life's trajectory.
Cut away anything that might be thwarting your evolution.
Where you have you been placing too much emphasis on your past mistakes and holding yourself back from your future.
Let go of the emotional clutter from your past. As you do,
Maybe a memory or experience from the past will be an important teaching moment.
Excavate old love stories, broken dreams, limiting beliefs and toxic relationships to rid them for good. Maybe there is a painful truth that needs to be faced, or a hidden grief you have been carrying deep within.
How are you presenting yourself out in the world and how does that aligns - or not - with your self-image?

Are your communities, groups, teams and social circles truly aligned with your current aspirations and values, and if not, does something need to change?
Expect insights related to how self-criticism and fear have been holding you back and where you may be relying on these to feel safe.
Where do you need to clean up your act and find time to create space for you to move beyond stagnant situations and limiting beliefs.
Is the inner critic in your head creating paralyzing perfectionism, bitterness, or hurtful sarcasm?
In what situations are you being harsh or too critical?
Have you become complacent or are you making the same mistakes except in new ways?
This is not the time for excuses. Unfocused and wishful thinking simply will not cut it.
The Queen of Swords offers wisdom that is gained from hard-learned lessons. Reflect, review, revise, reorganize, and take note of anything you repeatedly think about. There is meaning in what keeps entering your mind.

Strategize carefully rather than rush into action. Instead of implementing your ideas the second they come to you, take time to map them out and weigh the likely consequences of each potential course. Important messages can arrive through many channels, so remain open. Keep a journal or your notes app on deck to jot down any words or phrases that strike a chord.

You have within you the gift of focused discernment. Now is the time to hone it.

The Hanged Man is about patience and gaining new insights, awareness and perspectives. It is surrendering to transformation which becomes crucial during this time. To have the courage to give things time to unfold. To trust the process by allowing old cycles to come to completion.
When you work with eclipse energy, the changes unfold with universal timing.
Are you ready to grab the opportunities life will start presenting to you? Show up boldly and step into a new era even if the path ahead is uncertain and unknown.
What can you do today, for your future self?
Is today Day One or is it one day in the future?
Joyful and Peaceful Blessings,
