In a lunar eclipse, the earth momentarily blocks the illumination from the sun that creates a full moon, resetting the current emotional cycle. Solar eclipses reset the energy field or archetypal configurations, where as, lunar eclipses are culminations of emotional cycles that have run their course. Both encourage us to evolve.

There’s a power that lives in the space ‘between,’ that subtle instant when something ends, and what follows next hasn’t yet begun. This is a beautiful and necessary space for growth. In the spaces in between, all possibilities exist, and none have been chosen.
