Eclipses are celestial events that create a windows of opportunity for deep inner work and transformation.
On September 17, 2024, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 25° Pisces brings powerful transformation as it kicks off the Virgo-Pisces eclipse cycle, lasting until February 20, 2027.
This lunar eclipse invites emotional clarity, spiritual insight, and a chance to release outdated patterns.
There are different types of eclipses, including total solar, lunar, full, partial, penumbral eclipses, and more. Each type has its unique characteristics and effects on our lives. To make the most of eclipse season, it's important to work with crystals that align with the particular energy of the lunation.
Eclipse season is a time of heightened energy and transformation; It's a time to release old patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that no longer serve you and embrace new beginnings.
Read through this list of crystals and their attributes to see which stones will serve you the best and align with your intentions for this particular cosmic shakeup.
Emotional & Heart Healing
For the times when eclipses bring sudden and surprising losses, and you feel big emotions:
Rose Quartz: Rose quartz is a heart-opening stone that can help you connect with your own emotions and the emotions of others.
Amethyst: Keep your emotions in check and your mind calm with Amethyst. It's a go-to for enhancing your spiritual awareness and soothing your heart.
Shadow Work & Energy Protection
If this season brings you opportunities to take better care of your aura, energetic body and confront negative behavior loops or toxic relationship patterns:
Black Tourmaline: This grounding crystal can help you stay centered and connected to the Earth during the intense energy shifts of eclipse season.
Smoky Quartz: A wonderful protective energy that pulls earth energy into your foundation.
Obsidian: Intense energetic stone that will protect, repel, and also bring to the surface all that needs to be "seen" in it's reflection.
Clarity & Insight
When the energies of the eclipse are asking you to reevaluate and look at situations with greater clarity or with more intuition:
Selenite: Gain clarity and a stronger connection to your higher self by working with this crystal. It's great for receiving insights and messages, and also a great stone to help clear out stuck and stagnant energy that might be lingering.
Clear Quartz: Clear quartz is a powerful amplifier and can help you connect with the energies of the eclipses and your higher self
Moonstone: Can help you get into alignment and plug into a higher frequency. Because of its lunar energy, the Moonstone crystal properties remind us of the night sky and its steady and reliable cycle of darkness giving way to light.
With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives.
Full Moons and Lunar Eclipses bring issues in our lives to fulfillment; Our emotions are heightened, and there is often some sort of drama involved.
The Moon represents our feelings of safety and security, but under an Eclipse, we may feel exposed or vulnerable. Our sense of security and safety may be challenged in some way, or we may feel unsure of ourselves.
Where can we step back and breathe, allowing ourselves time to respond, rather than immediately react to a situation?
Where can we chose love over fear as we navigate life?
We are so blessed to have crystals and gemstones as wonderful earth-magic allies that support us emotionally, energetically and physically through these rapidly changing times on our planet, and especially during extra sensitive periods of astrology, like eclipse season! I hope this Super Moon Eclipse is a lovely time of transformation for you; let me know below if you'll be connecting with any of these crystal energies for yourself!
