Hand of Fate – Eclipse Season
It´s that time of the year again, eclipse season is upon us. It´s like you can feel the wheel of fortune turning. There is an anticipation in the air days before the eclipse hits, tension before a powerful release. My favorite pre-eclipse metaphor is an image of a hot summer day right before the storm. Clouds are getting increasingly darker and fuller, the wind is picking up and you wonder what is going to happen and when. The pressure is building up, it is hard to breathe or really do anything sensible. The tension is almost tangible. It gets to a point when you just urge that release so that you can relax a bit and deal with the consequences. What happens during eclipses? Why does this period of time feel so heavy and intense? Just the meaning of the word eclipse tells us a lot. The term eclipse is derived from ancient Greek and its meaning refers to things like abandonment, downfall, darkening, being absent, and coming to an end.
