Welcome to eclipse season.
This week’s lunar eclipse in Leo is sure to be dramatic, loud and performative. If we didn’t have to worry about living through the consequences of it we could just sit back and watch the theatre unfold.
However.
This moment in our history calls for our engagement. Our clap backs. Our responses to its call. This moment requires our creativity. Our dedication to liberty and the relentless pursuit of it. It requires us to roar when injustice occurs. Dramatically pulling focus on the matters that mean the most to us.
This moment calls us to be leaders of our prides and in solidarity with each other’s.
This eclipse is calling us to come forward with a bold belief in ourselves. Eclipses are times of endings and beginnings. Openings and closings. They often coincide with events that ripple through time, affecting our lives for years to come. Eclipses carry with them the power to shape our personal and collective histories. We haven’t had an eclipse in Leo for a long time. Leo is a fire sign known for its penchant for the performative. Leo is inspired. Leo is creative. Leo is playful. Leo is comfortable drawing attention to itself. Leo can be extremely lovable. Leo can be overbearingly obnoxious. Leo can be incredibly encouraging, lending us the confidence to tell our own tale.
Leo knows how to use the vehicle of the persona to connect with the world. With heart.
May we all learn about the power of our creativity. May we remember to make room for playfulness. May we use our personalities to pursue a just and safe world for all of creation.
May this eclipse, and this week’s very fiery, bold and inventive astrology help us awaken to the personal influence we all have on our collective experience.

Aries & Aries Rising
This Friday’s lunar eclipse is wanting to awaken you to your heart’s need for playful, joyful, creative time.
The world seems to be testing its own capacity to survive. Watching the news of the day unfold is traumatic. Any modicum of freedom we have is depending on us to get up and fight for it every damn day. All day. And the next day.
But we still need to laugh. We still need to enjoy each other. We still need to remember that what is good in our life is good for the world and that goodness needs to be given a moment. Give it a moment.
This week reminds you that living life on purpose means that you must pursue your passions. You must pursue what is right for you but is probably also risky. You must pursue what wakes you up and what has you feeling alive.
You must pursue what loves you.
You must pursue what lights a fire in you and what lights your way forward. Awakening is not an easy road, but it is the only one worth traveling. This Friday’s eclipse is asking you to create a space for yourself. A space for love to thrive in your life. A space to discover what it means for you to be boldly vulnerable and seriously playful.

This Friday’s eclipse explores the importance of a good foundation. It helps you to see what tradition you may need to break with in order to get a better foothold. It’s asking you to shake up your ideas of comfort and see if seeking honesty isn’t more important than seeking safety.
This Friday’s eclipse is trying to help you see the ways in which you have become sturdy in yourself and what you are capable of achieving out in the world as a result. You are well positioned to make a major advancement in your career at the moment. There is abundance and luck there. There is opportunity and possibility to expand your role. There is a great benefit that you can receive if you are willing to put yourself out there and make yourself known.
These blessings will be made all the more useful if you are able to ground yourself in a positive relationship with your home and family life. The more stable you help your life become, the more abundance you have room for. Spend some time this week considering how you might make room for your blessings so that when they arrive, they feel like they have a comfortable place to thrive within.

Gemini & Gemini Rising
This Friday’s lunar eclipse in Leo is perusing the parameters of your schedule. It will most likely pack it with appointments of great potency. It will most likely present you with unforeseen changes to your calendar. It will most likely draw dramatic attention to your day-to-day affairs, letting you know what is working here and what needs to be cut from the program.
Friday’s eclipse speaks volumes about the way in which you are communicating. Friday’s eclipse brings important conversations to your attention. Friday’s eclipse brings many messages with it. Most important of all will be feedback about how you are expressing your ideas, how that expression is impacting your life and what you are able to do with the unbridled energy that wants to communicate through you.
You aren’t likely to keep a lid on it these days.
If you are known for being loud, you’ll be known for getting even louder. If you aren’t used to making your ideas known, you’ll start to get a taste for what that might be like as this year progresses.
Practice by writing out your most enthusiastic thoughts and feelings. Be dramatic in your prose. Be pronounced in your passion. Be expressive about what you feel most engaged with and be unafraid to understand what you most wish to express to others on the page, even if you can’t in real life.

Friday’s lunar eclipse roars loudly in the part of your chart that deals with the resources that you create, work with and make a life from. Friday’s lunar eclipse would like to remind you that you have the creative license that you may crave. Friday’s eclipse wants to remind you that you need to give yourself permission. Again. And again. And again.
Don’t hold back. Your astrology points to a hunger in you. A hunger to succeed. A hunger that is focused. A hunger that helps you to strike at the right targets.
Let yourself prowl around the professional fields that you find yourself in. Let yourself understand the parameters of what you are working within. See what edges can be pushed. Respect the ones that protect you from danger. See yourself as queen of your domain, and in your queendom, ask what you need to become more responsible for. What duties do you need to show up for? What part of your schedule do you still need to master? What aspect of your career do you still need to take control of? Where is your power leaking? How is that affecting your ability to be effective?
This week’s astrology asks you to be inventive with your roles at work. It asks you to look at your career through many lenses to see what you might be missing. It asks you to know the power that moves through you. It asks you to let that power show you how to ride it all the way to your throne.

Your work gets a lift this week. Cash might flow a little easier. Opportunities try to find their way to you through the efforts that you make. So make them.
Ask for what you need, but be specific. If you ask for work, you’ll get it, but it might not be the pay or the pace that works for you. Ask for what you need, but be willing to put the time and energy in to make it into something sustainable. Gratitude and elbow grease go a long way to create opportunity out of opportunity. Ask for the blessing that would mean the most to you and your ability to support yourself.
Recognize also the part of yourself that doesn’t feel worthy of asking for or receiving blessings. This week wants to help you bust through those old and unfortunate beliefs that stop you from moving forward. It’s time to reinvent your relationship to your resources.
