The Meaning Of Lunar Eclipses In Each Zodiac Sign

Lunar eclipses are potent and cathartic since it is a time filled with heavy emotions that urge us to make a change, even when we do not want to. There is a lot of anxiety, regret, and even a thrill when a lunar eclipse happens because we can sense a new beginning. Collective physical manifestations of this period can be linked to a lack of sleep, feeling extremely tired, or just overall anxiety. Deep down we may sense that things will not be the same as before, but an adventure awaits us. As long as we do not cling too tightly to the past, the lunar eclipse can be a gateway into a much more prosperous new chapter for our future.
