Change, it’s the only constant on Earth, yet it is the toughest to accept. It’s exhilarating but terrifying. It’s autumn in the northern hemisphere, and the trees teach us to let go. The leaves tell us it’s natural to transform, and the cozy October aesthetic shows it can be enjoyable.

We measure years and months by the calendar. Maybe we catalogue the good or bad days and use them as passing time markers. The ancient Egyptians used the sky as their clock and the stars like hands moving cyclically. Here’s an invitation for us to do the same.

Eclipse Seasons

There are infinite ways to look to the heavens to track the cycles. The Full Moon is one example. Eclipses are another.

Eclipses occur in batches, which are also called eclipse seasons. One eclipse will often be followed by another eclipse occurring two weeks later, and this can feel like travelling on a high-speed train. We’re only passengers, and life can fly by pretty fast. Our best bet is to allow ourselves to become passengers instead of desperately trying to steer the train in the direction of our dreams. These eclipse seasons occur approximately every six months, meaning that we are assigned a new lesson from the universe twice every year
