Eclipses of 2022 – How to prepare for these events

The year 2022 will have four eclipses: two solar and two lunar, in the Taurus-Scorpio axis through which the Lunar Nodes pass. 

Eclipses occur in a certain order, they are phenomena that arouse curiosity and generally affect the collective. Astrologically, eclipses can trigger crisis situations that can unfold over the course of a few months.

The period of eclipses requires caution with imprudent behavior, and due to the increased tension generated, it is a good time to seek counseling and carry out therapeutic work. 

Definitions of Lunar Eclipse and Solar Eclipse

The lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon is in its Full phase. The Sun and Moon transit in opposite signs, for example: Sun in Taurus and Moon in Scorpio. The Moon is eclipsed, it is hidden, and since astrologically the Moon represents the past and emotional security, people become more insecure, reactive, and afraid.

The lunar eclipse can cause a departure from the comfort zone, external situations can generate temporary or definitive changes.

The solar eclipse happens in the New Phase, when the Sun and the Moon transit in the same sign. The Sun is obscured and as the Sun in Astrology represents consciousness, the power of choice, and the future, with the Moon superimposed over the Sun, situations from the past can return. 

The eclipse has a strong influence near the date it occurs, but its effects can manifest themselves over a period of six months, until the next eclipse, lunar or solar. 

The unfolding of the eclipse in some situations can extend beyond six months and have effects for up to two years. 

Changes and Uncertainties 

The eclipse affects the natural order of things and this event can create uncertainty about three weeks before and after the phenomenon. Critical and problematic situations may be increased as there is a tendency to precipitate. 

Changes and discoveries can occur within the period of six months or more after the eclipse. Unexpected events, reversals, changes in behavior, and reversal of situations, especially if eclipses trigger any planet or point in the Star Chart.

How to prepare yourself for the Eclipses

Eclipse influences happen days before and the effects last for weeks or months. The best way to prepare is to eliminate what no longer makes sense and make room for the new, to make room for new events, especially during a solar eclipse.

More care and attention is needed during the eclipse.

• Avoid reckless behavior, take care of your emotions, and if you are experiencing major changes in your life such as a change of job or home, financial or relationship difficulties, be attentive to events and don’t take hasty actions.
• Try not to be overloaded, stressed, or in borderline situations weeks before the eclipse, because whatever you have under pressure will overflow or break. The eclipse opens up space for changes and decisions.
• Don’t accumulate commitments days before the eclipse. Try to rest and have time available to deal with issues that may come up or surface.
• Partial Solar Eclipse in Taurus at 10:28 AM – April 30

The solar eclipse happens on the New Moon and in the sign of Taurus and with this issues or patterns from the past related to finances, material and professional life can return. It will be important to observe what you want to eliminate and what you want to keep or return to your life. Consciousness can be partially affected, as can clarity and judgment. So don’t be surprised if you do something again, or become sensitized to a situation that you thought you were over. There will be an opportunity to start over or do something completely different.

Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio at 25:17 – May 16

The lunar eclipse takes place in the sign of Scorpio, sign in which the Moon is in the fall, so emotions can become more dense during this period. The eclipse occurs on the full Moon, when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned with each other, and with this there is a confrontation between the past and the future, and the future should prevail. With the Scorpio energy it will be possible to eliminate, sacrifice, and abandon situations related to the past in a definitive way, especially with regard to finances and material life. This is the opportunity to let go of hurts, resentments, and grudges.

Partial Solar Eclipse in Scorpio at 02:00 – October 25

The solar eclipse in Scorpio can bring up situations from the past or experiences that can be resigned, especially experienced or pointed out in previous eclipses. The most important thing is to eliminate patterns and behaviors that no longer make sense and do not contribute to evolution. As the past prevails, some revival may happen. This is the opportunity to do something different, especially in relationships and joint finances, that is, financial matters involving other people, partnerships, inheritances, investments, and relationships with institutions.

Total Lunar Eclipse in Taurus at 16:00 – 08/11

The last eclipse of 2022 will take place with the Moon in the sign of Taurus, where it is exalted. Here there is an opportunity to seek security, but the past must stay behind for the new to come in, and as the Moon will also make conjunction with Uranus, changes, cuts and ruptures of situations that kept us in the comfort zone must happen. Opportunity to create new habits, behaviors and attitudes towards consumption and accumulation of objects. More than ever, it is time to let go, recycle, reuse, and open up to the possibility of consumption and the accumulation of objects, reuse and be open to the new, especially technological innovations.
