Everything You Need to Know About Eclipse Season
Eclipse season hits twice a year (once in the spring/summer and once in the fall/winter), and things can get eventful. First up in 2021 is the period between May 26 and June 10, and even if the Sun and Moon look totally chill—eclipses aren’t visible to the eye from every location on Earth—you’ll be able to feel something happening.
See, eclipses occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align in the sky on or close to the North and South Nodes, two mathematical points in the Moon’s orbit that have a lot to do with your (stay with me) karmic destiny. Meaning, eclipses represent a time when people tend to take giant leaps forward in their lives, for better or for worse.
They affect everyone, but you’ll get an extra dose of cosmic energy if one aligns with a point or planet in your birth chart. This particular season’s eclipses are happening in Sagittarius and Gemini, so open your fave astrology app now: If you have a major placement like your Sun, Moon, or Rising in one of these signs—surprise! Your late spring/early summer is going to be major. Yes, that could mean something like a devastating breakup.But it could also mean a sudden elopement or a spiritual epiphany or a book deal. Remember that change can be good. You got this!

PSA: Do Not Charge Your Crystals Right Now!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (lol), you know that crystals are powerful manifestation tools. They’re like energetic flash drives that store your intentions, hopes, and wishes. Usually, you can “reset” them (aka wipe away old vibes) by leaving them outside under the velvety darkness of the New Moon and “charge” them (aka amp up their power) by doing the same beneath the illumination of the Full Moon.
However! This does not apply during eclipses. When the Sun or Moon is obstructed, it isn’t functioning normally (as you also already know from reading everything else on these pages). If your crystals accidentally download an eclipse’s chaotic, volatile, and unpredictable energy, your manifestations will get mixed with a heavy dose of mayhem—a freaky concoction that no one wants.
