All About Eclipses
Everything you need to know about eclipses so you can navigate through life with purpose
Did you know there are 12 different types of eclipses?
In modern astrology, eclipses are usually painted with a broad “karmic” brush - sometimes along the lines of being inevitable and mysterious, but also a bit generic and one-size-fits-all.
If you have some astrology experience - or simply have been paying attention to these powerful celestial events - you know for a fact that eclipses are significant.
Yet, the usual approach of focusing only on the sign or the aspects an eclipse makes with other planets often leaves us with half answers.
Eclipses are much more than just ‘important’ New or Full Moons.
To truly understand their meaning, we need to use techniques that are specific to eclipses - not to other types of transits.
All About Eclipses is a mini-course where you will learn 5 key eclipse concepts:
- What differentiates eclipses from other transits
- North Node Vs. South Node Eclipses
