If you’ve been going back and forth with a lover or you’ve been in an on-again, off-again relationship, pay special attention to the month of September 2016. The universe may be gearing up to give you the kick in the pants that you need to move onto something new.
September 1, 2016 was the date of the latest solar eclipse, and that is a very powerful time astrologically speaking. Eclipses tend to bring about dramatic change in our lives. They often spur transformation, and lead people to move forward in major ways. If you’re reading this and you know September 1 has passed, don’t assume you’ve been overlooked. Transformation often starts beneath the surface, so you might not see evidence of the changes sparked by the eclipse until weeks after the event.
Solar eclipses coincide with the new moon, which is a time of new beginnings. Technically speaking, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the earth and the sun, blocking the sun’s light. However, solar eclipses are more powerful than traditional new moons. The energy is heightened and they tend to have a greater impact. They also often have a more permanent impact. For example, things that end around a solar eclipse tend to be truly over. There often isn’t any going back.
If a relationship ends around this time, there’s a good chance that the universe is giving you a nudge to move forward. When it comes to relationships, it can be helpful to pay attention to the signs of the universe. Staying in a relationship that has run its course can keep you from moving on to something better. Perhaps a soulmate is approaching and the universe would like for you to be free emotionally and physically to engage in that experience. Or perhaps the relationship has had a negative impact on your spiritually.
The important thing to understand about eclipses is that the changes they spark are good for you. When they force you to elevate and move to a different level in your life, it’s for the betterment of your soul and it’s designed to propel you further along your rightful path. If a relationship is ending rather than focus on that pain, consider the fact that eclipses also bring about new beginnings. Pay attention to the people that enter your life, as well as the messages you receive at this time.
While endings can definitely be painful, the new beginnings sparked by a solar eclipse can be immensely rewarding over the course of your lifetime.
