April 8th is a significant day as we’ll witness a total solar eclipse starting in Mexican lands, passing through the United States, and ending in Canada, covering all of North America. The eclipse is set to begin in Sinaloa, Mexico, and end in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. According to The Independent, an estimated 31 million people will observe the astronomical phenomenon across the three countries it traverses.
Eclipses, among other celestial events, are ideal for making changes in our lives, akin to a fresh start, as they bring progress and shake up our lives. Moreover, these phenomena align with the north and south lunar nodes. Hence, eclipses are perfect for manifesting desires and goals, as a way to shift energy, which, combined with conviction and willpower, can bring about significant changes in our lives. (Remember, energy is an aid, but one must also make an effort.) That’s why we’re sharing:
5 Rituals You Can Perform During the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th
Personal Development
For this ritual, you’ll need candles and rose quartz. Sit in a quiet, comfortable place, arrange the quartz and candles, and envision how to improve and change your life. The eclipse energy will help reinforce your vision of things. Manifest what you need to improve and trust.
New Beginnings
Again, find a quiet, comfortable spot, and light essential oils to help you relax. On a piece of paper, write down the things you need or want to leave behind, everything that doesn’t contribute positively to your life. After finishing writing, burn the paper while thinking about positive things for yourself and your life. Remember to be very careful when burning the list, ensure no flammable objects are nearby, and if possible, do it outdoors.
Spirituality Ritual
If you believe in spiritual journeys, the eclipse is a good time to meditate, sing, or even perform a tarot reading. Remember, you create your destiny.
Love Ritual
The eclipse is a good time to manifest love, whether you want to improve your relationship with friends, family, or your partner, or if you’d like to start a relationship with your crush. For the latter case, we recommend writing a letter to your loved one and placing it under your pillow. The eclipse’s force will help infuse you with good energy and strengthen the relationship. Remember to keep your mind and heart open.
Money Ritual
For this ritual, you only need a piece of paper, a pen, and an envelope. Write down your financial goals on the paper, for example: “I want to find a better job,” “I want to get that promotion,” or “I want to close that sale,” and seal it inside the envelope. Place it somewhere accessible during the eclipse. Once you’re ready, reflect on how you can achieve those goals and manifest that they will happen.
“The most important thing is always to believe in yourself, but a little help from others is a great blessing.” (Uncle Iroh, Avatar: The Last Airbender.
