Little Tips about Eclipse Seasons
(May be obvious to many, but as a Scorpio lagna, it took me time to make peace with my weird needs and experiences, so everything is a discover til today)
If you're in doubt about it, don't do it
If it demands a lot - even if it looks simple and everyone is doing it - don't do it. Let it be. You need to save your energy.
Wait a little to start projects
Maybe it's nice to start some energy treatment (I'm back to mine, hopefully before Oct. 25th).
Stick only to your routine obligations.
Dedicate free time to recharge as much as you can - and in ways as silly/simple as can be.
Journaling, Pranayama, prayer, abdominal breathing, mantra chanting/listeing, Abhyanga/massage with oils according to your Ayurveda constitution, etc.
When in doubt, choose the activity that brings you more SILENCE
Relaxing and recharging, clearing your thoughts and vision is more urgent than having fun and socializing. Just for a while, ok?
Again, my experience:
Water placements (specially Scorpio), 8th house and 12th house placements:
If neglected, come back to spiritual practices you used to do.
It's never too late God is always eager to help.
Also, unless you have a very strong Pitta in your constitution, go slow with physical exercise. Priotize calming your mind.
Save energy by not overextending your body
nor your attention to intrusive thoughts and fantasies.
See how it looks like a very famous and feared insect?
"Scorpio is the structure of the nadis and the pran movement in them." - Tejaswini Arvind Patil here, and that's why it was so helpful to learn how to deal with my nervous system/energy (highly associated to Jyeshta, my ascendant nakshatra).
This next one is maybe the most important, and applies to everyone of any placements (not only in ecipse seasons, but mainly during them):
Limit your exposure to the collective mind
News, social media, gossip pretending to be important commentary, etc.
What looks so rational and urgent is a net of emotions unchecked, eager for hosts and sources of energy.
Exercise your faith when you need to look at social events and news
Remember God never fails and exerts control over the most difficult things in life.
Remember God always means well and works by yourside.
Evil is as strong as our minds (our free will) allows it to be.
Avoid enemeshing yourself with the collective...
...by identifying yourself with social events = emotionally reacting to them.
This is your ego masking as organic emotion.
It starts with classifying the event: 'good', 'bad', 'unaceptable', 'disgusting', 'life-changing', 'life-saving'.
The ego demands a position - what it's incredibly arrogant. Who are you to know? Who are any of us to know for sure?
Even specialists admit to know little and refrain from manifesting emotions around historical or social events.
Labels and emotions are not solutions, but displays of virtue that your ego demands from you (and creates them itself) in order to convince you that it IS you and it IS good...
...so you keep being a slave of coping mechanisms and racing thoughts disguised as reason and morality.
Be humble:
Silence you mind when approaching reality
Save energy:
Your attention and emotions are preserved by humbling yourself to reality and refraining from labeling it.
Use this energy to exert your free will:
Use your imagination to conceive concrete things that bring you pleasure/joy
Use your conscious mind to execute these plans relentlessly in the present time.
These are what the mind is for. It should serve your birth right to cocreate reality with God.
Not to deny it or override it, not to defend yourself from it.
And finally:
If no one is doing it, or you feel like no one is doing it,
Remember I'm rooting for you.
Whoever you are - and whomever I am,
I deeply believe you can make all your dreams come true
and overcome anything in your way,
no matter how big it looks (today)
May God bless you all.
Nina Simone, Uttara Ashada ("Former Victorious One", in approximate translation from sanskrit) Moon.
Tomorrow is my turn
No more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn
When my luck is returning
All these years I've been learning to save fingers from burning
Tomorrow is my turn
No more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn to receive without giving
Make life worth living
Now it's my life I'm living
My only concern for tomorrow is my turn

Hi I'm new to Tumblr. I joined because I wanted to learn more about astro and generally all things witchy. On a journey of self discovery.
Eclipse season is quite shifty and I've been hearing that I shouldn't manifest anything in this time. Is it okay to cleanse and re-energize crystals. Also, with the eclipse season my body feels off especially my head, it feels like I have to remind myself to breathe. I'm basically like spraying essential oils or lighting incense to relax me. But I feel like using sage would do the trick but that feels more ritualistic because I usually say what I want as I burn it. Is using sage okay?
Let me know what you think. Thank you!
Hello darling 🥰
Thank you for your question, and a warm welcome to the witchy Tumblr community! 🌙✨
Eclipse season can indeed bring about intense and shifting energies. Many practitioners choose not to manifest during this time, but it’s important to remember that your practices should accommodate you and what feels right.
On the other hand, cleansing and re-energizing your crystals is generally considered a grounding and centering practice. It’s a way to maintain the purity of your tools and keep them in sync with your energy. So, you’re on the right track with cleansing them.
In terms of your temporary fogginess, using sage for cleansing is perfectly okay as these very personal rituals can be as elaborate or as simple as you prefer. You can absolutely use sage for cleansing without any specific incantations, tools, or actions if that feels more comfortable to you. The most important thing is to find what resonates with you and brings you a sense of peace, whether that be something ‘traditional’ like sage or rosemary for cleansing as opposed to, for example, my preference for lemongrass (I personally feel it helps to cleanse my mental energy and helps me focus, hence my personal connotation of lemongrass with cleansing my personal space). In a nutshell, do what feels right for you.
Eclipse season does affect people differently, and feeling off or needing calming rituals like essential oils and incense is quite common. Ultimately, your spiritual path should be a source of comfort and empowerment, so do what feels right for you.
I hope I was able to answer your question, I would love to hear more about your journey or any more queries you may come across. You’re doing wonderfully, and I hope you are proud of your achievements. Keep growing 💚✨

Welcome to eclipse season, 🌑 aka cosmic course correction season!
This is a season where CHANGE is in the air and karmic, fated events transpire. 🦋 While this can be a transformative window of time, it is important to heed some eclipse wisdom, as eclipses are NOT for the faint of heart!
Here’s how to ensure you have the most soulful, powerful eclipse season yet:
DO - Stay calm
DON’T - Panic
Things get a little intense during eclipses, and the MOST important thing for you to hold onto is your head during this season! You can notice you are WAY more erratic, impulsive and emotional at this time. Strive to stay grounded and level-headed as we navigate these rocky waters!
DO - Notice where you feel called to transformed
DON’T - Make impulsive decisions
Eclipses ARE to shake things up. But you will KNOW when you are being “eclipsed” which is a huge shift that is being thrust upon you. However, if you are just contemplating making a HUGE life change - moving, breaking up, changing career - perhaps see how you feel after the eclipse, once the dust settles a bit.
DO - Protect your energy
DON’T - Overextend yourself
When the cosmos are busy, busy, busy, we can feel busy here on planet earth! While rushing around can be the norm at this time, see if you can go slow and be extra mindful when it comes to what it is you put on your plate. Keep your to-do list low and your boundaries high!
DO - Observe what happens
DON’T - Indulge in escapist tendencies
Eclipses are a time where this is more going on than meets the eye. While you could feel tempted to escape into your own world at this time, this is an essential time to stay vigilant. The events that transpire around eclipses have significance that ripple out FAR beyond this present moment in time.
DO - Tune into what’s coming up for you
DON’T - Feel like if you’re not being “eclipsed” there’s nothing significant occurring
Whether the changes occurring are external or internal, dramatic or subtle, there IS an eclipse story playing out for you. It may not be as intense for you if your sign isn’t one of the emphasized ones, but there will be life events that help to accelerate your soul’s development. Pay attention to the ideas, conversations and nudges you receive at this time - even if it’s not LIFE CHANGING, you will see in the future how it makes more sense.
DO - Listen to your intuition and be discerning
DON’T - Feel pressured to do a ritual
In traditional astrology, eclipses were considered too volatile, dramatic and unpredictable to do rituals or spellwork. Use discernment and trust your intuition on what’s right for you.
