If you’re feeling like life is just a bit TOO much right now, then you’re picking up on the fact that we’re in a moment of profound cosmic intensity…
We are moving through the Waning Eclipse Portal—a time of rapid shifts, fated encounters, and sudden realignments.
Eclipses are not gentle. They don’t ask for permission. They course-correct your life in ways you might not have expected—but that your soul signed up for long before you arrived in this lifetime.
If things feel electric, unpredictable, or completely out of your control, you are not imagining it. This week, the universe is pushing you back onto your path. The one you were always meant to walk.
What You Need to Know About Eclipses
An eclipse is not just another lunation—it’s a karmic turning point. If you’ve wandered far from your true purpose, the eclipse redirects you. Sometimes gently, sometimes with a shove.
You might experience:
- Endings that feel sudden but inevitable – things that are no longer aligned with your soul’s journey will begin to fall away.
- New opportunities that seem to appear out of nowhere – the universe is making space for something better.
- Deep emotional shifts – especially if you’ve been ignoring your intuition.
The key? Surrender. Stop clinging to what is already leaving. Stop resisting what is arriving. Trust that the universe knows what it’s doing.
Venus & Mercury Retrograde: What This Means for You
As if the eclipse energy wasn’t enough, we also have Venus and Mercury retrograde happening at the same time.
- Venus retrograde asks us to re-evaluate love, money, and self-worth. Are you settling? Are you still operating from outdated beliefs about what you deserve?
- Mercury retrograde rewinds conversations, technology, and decisions. Expect delays, but also second chances. The past may reappear—but is it coming back to heal or to test you?
With both of these planets in retrograde, this is not the time for snap decisions. If you can, wait. Let things unfold. Watch what resurfaces, but don’t act impulsively.
The New Moon Eclipse: Your Cosmic Reset
At the end of this week, we have the New Moon eclipse—a powerful moment for setting intentions and stepping into a new chapter. But this is not your usual New Moon.
- This is a soul-level transformation, not just another goal-setting moment.
- The energy is amplified, so what you wish for now could manifest faster than you expect.
- Gemini Rising? This is your LUCKY wishing Moon of the year. If that’s you, this is a cosmic moment you don’t want to miss. Go to moonmessages.com/rising to find out why.
How to Work With This Energy
- Pause before making big decisions – let the retrogrades and eclipse settle before taking action.
- Make space for what’s leaving – release what no longer serves you, even if it feels uncomfortable.
- Set your intentions with clarity – but don’t force outcomes. Trust that the universe will deliver in the way that’s best for you.
- Practice surrender – if ever there was a time to let go and trust, this is it.
