#19 - What’s the Difference Between a Regular New Moon and a New Moon Eclipse?
In this video, I break down one of the most common questions I get: What’s the difference between a regular New Moon and a New Moon Eclipse? The answer lies in understanding what’s happening in the sky!Using a simple visualization, I explain the relationship between the Sun, Earth, and Moon, and how the Moon’s tilted orbit creates the magic of eclipses. You’ll learn:• Why the Moon’s orbit isn’t perfectly aligned with the Earth’s path around the Sun (the ecliptic).• How this alignment (or lack of it) determines whether we experience a regular New Moon or a powerful New Moon Eclipse.• What makes eclipse energy so potent and how it impacts your life for months at a time.Plus, I dive into the concept of eclipse seasons—a two-month window where the energy of the eclipses is most powerful—and how you can work with this transformative energy to set bold, life-changing intentions.FREE RESOURCE:Download my Moon Phase Guide with the 3 simple steps I use for each phase: https://laurakusto.com/free-moon-phase-guide/WANT PERSONALIZED GUIDANCE?Join Moon Chat to receive customized notifications for YOUR chart, showing you exactly which area of life each moon phase is activating.
