The Eclipses and You:
So how will these eclipses affect you in your personal life? My forecast is intended to help you direct your energy in a positive light and take advantage of opportunities that come your way in love, money, career, developing your creativity, or spending more time with your family. Where does your focus lie during eclipse cycle? It has been my experience that the effects of an eclipse cycle last from six months to a year, but in some cases we may begin to feel the impact up to 30 days prior, depending upon how strongly it is impacting our chart.
This information will resonate with you, depending upon the sign that your sun, moon or ascendant are in. For example, if you are a Gemini sun sign with a Taurus Moon and Aquarius on your Ascendant, you should read the forecast for each of those signs. If you are not sure of your ascendant or moon sign, please feel free to contact me.
