On Monday March 25 we have the first eclipse of 2024 at 5 degrees of Libra. This eclipse is a lunar eclipse, which is when the shadow of the Earth blocks the rays of the Sun reflecting on the Moon. This creates a reddish hue to the Moon, giving the name “blood moon” to lunar eclipses. Eclipses are not just dramatic to view, but have also been known to cause drama in our lives. This is not only on the day of the eclipse but also the week or two leading up to and after the eclipse season. Eclipses always come in pairs, with a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse coming two weeks apart (sometimes a solar will precede a lunar or vice versa). This creates a four week time where events can take a dramatic turn. This of course depends on where the eclipses appear in your chart. Those with strong aspects to the eclipse, will feel the affects more than those that do not.
