With a partial lunar eclipse on the horizon, we’ve been finding out more about what this rare cosmic event is and how to harness its powerful transformative energy.
During a partial lunar eclipse, the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow that covers only part of the Moon. This creates a visible darkened section while the rest remains illuminated.
This rare and beautiful dance between celestial bodies is an awesome reminder of the vastness of the universe and a palpable connection to something greater than ourselves. While witnessing a lunar eclipse first-hand can be a mesmerizing experience, you can still harness its power from the comfort of your own home through intentional rituals. Here is a simple way to help you connect with the transformative energy of a lunar eclipse:
What You’ll Need:
- A candle
- A pen and paper/journal
- A small bowl of water
- A crystal (moonstone, selenite, or clear quartz)
Selenite
Clear Quartz
Ritual Steps:
Set the Space
Find a quiet place where you can see the Moon (or simply feel its presence). Light your candle and take a few deep breaths to centre yourself.
Reflect & Release
Take a moment to write down anything you’re ready to let go of. This could be fears, doubts, habits, or any emotions you feel are currently holding you back. Read each one aloud as you write.
Water Cleansing
Dip your fingers in the bowl of water and gently touch your forehead and heart, symbolising emotional and mental clarity. Say: “With the Moon’s light, I release the old and make space for the new.”
Charge Your Intentions
Hold your crystal in your hand, close your eyes, and visualise yourself stepping into a new version of you – lighter, freer, and aligned. Feel the eclipse energy supporting your transformation.
Close with Gratitude
Blow out the candle and pour the water onto the earth, symbolizing your release and openness to the changes ahead.
Remember: Eclipse energy lingers so be gentle with yourself and trust the process.
