#19 - What’s the Difference Between a Regular New Moon and a New Moon Eclipse?
In this video, I break down one of the most common questions I get: What’s the difference between a regular New Moon and a New Moon Eclipse? The answer lies in understanding what’s happening in the sky!
Using a simple visualization, I explain the relationship between the Sun, Earth, and Moon, and how the Moon’s tilted orbit creates the magic of eclipses. You’ll learn:
• Why the Moon’s orbit isn’t perfectly aligned with the Earth’s path around the Sun (the ecliptic).
• How this alignment (or lack of it) determines whether we experience a regular New Moon or a powerful New Moon Eclipse.
• What makes eclipse energy so potent and how it impacts your life for months at a time.
Plus, I dive into the concept of eclipse seasons—a two-month window where the energy of the eclipses is most powerful—and how you can work with this transformative energy to set bold, life-changing intentions.
