Eclipse Season: the Beautiful, the Electrifying, the Terrifying with Caitlyn Rack & Stefanie Sundara
In Episode 3: Justin invites friends Caitlyn and Stefanie onto the show to discuss the current Eclipse Season we find ourselves in this April-May of 2022. (April 30th Solar Eclipse in Taurus and May 16th Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio).
The episode title here is a tad dramatic to poke fun at the way we perceive eclipse season in this modern meme-filled world. Caitlyn and Stefanie both are pros with the Taurus/Scorpio vibes and it shows in their way of beautifully explaining these archetypes on a cosmic and personal-energetic level. Tune in to find out more about eclipses, this specific eclipse season, and how to work with these high-energy and somewhat intense times on a practical level. We discuss our own personal experiences with eclipses of the past, and forecast how we think these eclipses might show up for us all - while leaving room for the unexpected. We even included some oracle card pulls and astro-dice rolls for all 12 rising signs to divine a message specifically for you. Enjoy!
