What Is a Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon)?:p
Today we are guided by a very important lunar event, a blood moon or a lunar eclipse. What does a lunar eclipse mean? This happens when um the earth moves between the sun and the moon casting its shadow on the moon. So this shadow gives the moon a red or copper color. That is why you will then find the moon being called the blood moon.
Timing of the Eclipse in South Africa:-
For us here in South Africa in particular um when you look at Google it says that the eclipse is going to be visible between half 7 until around 9:00. But the total eclipse will actually be seen um approximately around 11 minutes past 8.
What Not to Do During the Eclipse:-
So simply here for a quick what not to do tonight. There are a few important practices that we usually do and today we need to avoid those practices during the lunar eclipse. one of them. Do not recharge your crystals, your cloths, or anything um spiritual, any of your spiritual tools. Do not recharge them with the moonlight or the moon energy today or tonight. Um do not make lunar water from tonight’s eclipse. Do not make lunar water taking out your um your glass or your jar of water and putting it out in the in the moonlight. Don’t do that.
Energy of This Eclipse: Aquarius Vibes:-
But if it rains however you may have as the water use it with clear intention for an example the intention of renewal, protection or clarity but you need to be very clear with your intention. Why? Because um an eclipse is a time of heightened unsettled energy or energies. So we respect the shift but we don’t store or channel it directly onto our tools or into our tools. The energy of this eclipse, this particular one is in Aquarius and Aquarius carries themes of change, revolution, and emotional shifts. So you may feel your emotions rising, especially the pregnant woman, those who are in their third trimester to be more specific. You might be feeling more sensitive, overwhelmed, and just, you know, a bath of emotions during this time. That is totally normal.

Those who are always planning, those who are always bringing you um new ideas.
Feeling Overwhelmed? Here’s Why:-
It is their time now. They’re going to come down. You’re going to start seeing yourself leaving projects, starting new projects or even having new ideas altogether. While the Gregorian calendar tells us that the year is coming to an end, we know that our African calendar sees this as a moment of new beginnings. We are talking in Zaloya Langa, the return of the sun from the northern hemisphere back into the southern hemisphere.And this invites us to plant new seeds both physically and spiritually. This explains why you will find yourself having the emotional overwhelm. You find yourself looking back, looking forward and struggling to sit with the present moment. It is a lot, but it is necessary putting a child and brace it. So, here are some of the few tips that going to share with you in terms of grounding yourself.
Journaling: Your Anchor During Chaos:-
You can journal on any book as long as you’re putting it down on a page. If it is a new thing for you, start on fresh pages. But if you’ve been journaling, simply revisit what you have written. Scratch off what no longer applies or check it off. And check off whatever that you have achieved. And remember that it may no longer align with you if you scratch it off or no longer align with who you’re becoming.
Breathwork & Meditation to Ground You:-
We all also encourage breath work and you need to use simple breathing to center yourself. Just focus on your breath to bring mindfulness and to embrace um awareness of the past, the present and the future. When it comes to meditation, focus on meditation that encourages stillness, awareness, and returning to your center. For my ladies, if you are menstruating with this full moon, this is your release phase. So, write and journal everything that you want to let go. You just want to let projects go. So just allow don’t fight that energy. You can go and watch my full moon release ritual. And for those who are not menrating, those who maybe have their menration aligning with the new moon or you know the face of the new moon, then this means that it is your time to plant seeds of intention.
