Solar Eclipse
Eclipses are considered to be vital because they are associated with fate.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. Although the Sun is larger than the Moon, they are roughly the same size when viewed from Earth; therefore, the Moon blocks out the Sun. A solar eclipse can only occur at a New Moon when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction, and it can be a total, partial, or annular eclipse.
The distance between the Earth and the Moon varies by 10%, and an eclipse occurs when the Moon is at a perigee, the closest point to the Earth, when a total solar eclipse occurs. When the Moon is furthest from the Earth, this is called Apogee, which does not cover the Sun's disc but leaves a solar ring around it; this is called an annular solar eclipse. The light around the Moon is called " the ring of fire."
Lunar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse can only happen at a Full Moon when the Moon opposes the Sun and passes into the shadow of the Earth. The lunar eclipse can last up to two hours, and the earth's complete shadow, the umbra, is greater than the moon's diameter. A partial lunar eclipse will occur only when the Moon partially passes into the Earth's Umbra; if the Moon misses the umbra altogether, it is called a penumbral eclipse. A total lunar eclipse is when the Earth's shadow entirely covers the Moon.
Six weeks from the date of the eclipse, its energy will be felt; therefore, be prepared. A New Moon eclipse is a solar eclipse, meaning the energy will be plus or extra. This is a good time for a change.
Super Moon
In astronomy, this phenomenon is known as a perigee moon, occurring when the Moon is closest to Earth in its monthly orbit. When this proximity aligns with a full moon or new moon, it is termed a superMoon. At perigee, the Moon appears larger (Super Moon), while at apogee, it appears smaller than usual. A superMoon causes a more significant electromagnetic pull on Earth, leading to higher tide waves and intensified emotions.

Opportunities
Note the sign symbolism of the natal house where the solar and lunar eclipses occur. The house where an eclipse occurs in your chart indicates an area of life that requires evaluation and adjustment. Embracing the changes presented during this time and viewing the eclipse as a chance for a fresh start is beneficial. It's an opportune moment to clear the slate, opening up the possibility for a new chapter.
The impact of transiting eclipses is most pronounced when they conjunct, square, or oppose your Sun, Moon, ascendant, midheaven, or the ruler of your chart (ascendant). Identify the location of the eclipse in your natal chart for further insight.
If an eclipse is within a 1° to 2° orb of a planet or critical point in your natal chart, it will hold significant power and relevance for you. While all eclipses can usher in substantial transformative changes, being near a celestial body in your chart signals that considerable shifts are on the horizon. It may take time to adjust, but once things settle, you will acclimate to a new way of life.
Prenatal Solar Eclipse (PNSE)
Check the Prenatal Solar Eclipse (PNSE) that occurred when you were in utero, which is a lifelong sensitive degree in your chart. PNSE can be pretty significant to the affairs of the house where your PNSE is located or essential throughout your life. The house placement of your PNSE shows where you need to grow and expand continually, and the eclipse will speak directly with your PNSE; it can have life-altering effects on you.
Essential Oils
You can use many vibrational tools to stay calm and collected during eclipses or just in life; however, essential oils can be vital. Essential oils can help you stay relaxed, go with the flow of events, and be more adaptable when it takes to integrate the changes. Earthy and woody essential oils have the most harmonizing and stabilizing effect on your emotions during and after the eclipses.
Here are a few good oils:

Libra Full Moon- Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
5° 07’ Libra Full Moon Monday, March 25, 11:00 pm PT
Eclipses draw attention to areas needing change, offering a chance to let go of old habits and chart a new course leading to growth and opportunities in the future. They may bring subtle shifts or dramatic transformations, causing everyone to readjust their paths. An adjustment period typically lasts about six months or longer following an eclipse. This year's eclipses occur on the Libra (7th house) and Aries (1st house) axis, governed by Aries/Mars and Libra/Venus, representing energy, action, ambition, desire, and love. These areas correspond to personal ego, relationships, and the activation of the North and South Nodes. The 1st house relates to personal ego, drive, identity, and appearance, while the 7th house concerns pleasure, values, and emotional attachments.
Significant transformations in your identity and material worth/personal possessions are expected as the North and South Nodes transit through Aries and Libra in the next 18 months, which began in 2023. The upcoming Libra lunar eclipse and Aries New Moon total solar eclipse symbolize fresh starts and alterations, with the total solar eclipse path spanning Mexico, the United States, and Canada. This eclipse's route signifies regions poised for radical growth and change.
This period marks a phase of significant beginnings and endings lasting six months or more. Decisions made during this time should align with our convictions despite the complexities and nuances involved.

Have I placed too much emphasis on appearances?
