Eclipse Season Spiritual Meaning and Purpose
This is a blog post on Eclipse Season Spiritual Meaning and Purpose and the planetary alignments in astrology with Plants By Laurali! In astrology, eclipses tend to happen in a series that brings about significant growth and spiritual revolution.
What is eclipse season? Eclipses occur in a series typically two or three times a year, but sometimes up to five times during a busy season.
That happens pretty rarely though. The last time that happened was in 1945 and won’t occur again until 2206.
During the season, eclipses help us leap forward in spiritual growth. Our souls become more awakened, usually by the events it triggers in our lives.
If you want to gain a higher understanding of yourself and mankind, eclipse season will make that possible for you. It catapults you forward suddenly, bringing great upheaval to your life.
It might sound scary, but as your soul continues to grow, you begin to look forward to learning life lessons. Tower moments become something that sets you on the right path to where you are supposed to be.
To describe an eclipse, it feels like the intensity of the supermoon in overdrive. While it can be intense, eclipses can be incredibly healing and transforming.
It triggers new awareness of the issues we’ve been repressing, some even as far back as our childhood wounds and trauma. Eclipses are like an intense form of shadow work.
Shadow work is a psychological term used to describe our dark, shadow self and our ego mind. When we work on integrating our shadow self with our light self, healing truly begins!
Eclipse Season Spiritual Meaning and Purpose
The spiritual meaning of eclipse season is soul growth and transformation. I like to think of the eclipse season as graduation day.
Throughout the year, our soul builds on many experiences, tower moments, and life lessons. Eclipses are the culmination of everything we learned.
When we finally learn the lesson, we can move on to the next big thing. That’s the whole point of being here on this earth, to live a human life and learn lessons that help us gain wisdom and insight.
Eclipse season is our gateway to awakening. It’s a great time to evaluate our lives and see where we need to transform. It forces us to recognize our true selves.
I also find eclipse season can be a powerful time to speak our truths from an authentic place. This can come after months of pushing down our feelings until finally, they rise to the surface for deep, emotional healing.
Even though eclipse season can be a dark and difficult time, it creates collective soul consciousness. It assists us in becoming better humanitarians and bridges the connection between spirituality and the mundane world we live in.

Eclipse Season Spell Uses
For witches, eclipse season can be an optimal time to perform spells that bring beneficial changes to your life. The type of spells you do should be focused on deep, emotional healing. Many of my current spells are geared toward heart healing and transformation, which pairs perfectly with eclipse energy!
Eclipse season is a magical time to practice letting go and trusting the universe, even when you’re in the middle of a tower moment. Tower moments are based on the tower tarot card in the tarot card deck.
Tower moments are moments of major upheaval that come seemingly out of nowhere. These are the pivotal moments that change our lives forever.
Spells for transformation, change, and transitions are highly welcomed during eclipse energy. In addition to that, I have found eclipse season is the perfect time to create a major glow-up in your life!
So, next time an eclipse rolls around, start thinking about what needs to change in your life. What direction is the eclipse trying to push you in? Believe me, you’ll see the signs and know.
Eclipses tend to push us where we need to go by sheer force and effort. Major life events might suddenly fall from the sky.
Eclipse Tower Moments
Moving to a new home
Pregnancy and childbirth
Getting laid off from work/job search
Major glow-up in life
Breakups and divorce
Going back to school
Starting therapy or marriage counseling
Empty nest syndrome as children leave the nest
Bankruptcy and financial disruption
Sudden weight loss or gain
As you can see, eclipse season can create physical changes as well as emotional growth in the healing process. Many of these things will seem sudden and disruptive, but they all serve the purpose of moving you to a higher level.
Maybe your current job is sucking you dry and it’s time to go into business for yourself. Perhaps breaking up with your romantic partner will result in a partner better suited for you. Whatever it may be, eclipse season is here to set you free!
You might be pushed out of your comfort zone for a bit, but once the dust settles you’ll be in a much better position in life. Just know that whatever you are going through will pass and you’ll be sitting pretty soon enough!
