Feeling the balance shift? It's eclipse time, bride 🌑✨


Hey Reader,

Feeling a little off today? ME TOO.

It's the Sun and Moon.

Today's kind of a big deal, there's solar eclipse and new moon in Libra, and it’s likely shaking things up for you—especially when it comes to relationships.

And whether you’re into astrology or think even this is too woo, the event is affecting you too.

Here's what astrologers are saying:

🌙 Relationships in the Spotlight: Libra is the queen of partnerships, so this eclipse is dialing up all things love, balance, and connection. Think about how you relate to your partner, family, friends—even vendors. Is there room to create a little more harmony or understanding? Where do things feel a little out of sync for you?

🔄 Releasing Old Patterns: The eclipse is inviting us to let go of outdated relationship dynamics or unhelpful beliefs. What old stories or behaviors have you been holding onto that no longer fit who you're becoming, especially as you enter this new chapter of your life?

⚖️ Finding Balance: Libra craves equilibrium, and so do your relationships. Are you giving too much or holding back too much? Are you staying true to your needs while also honoring your partner's or people you are closest too? This might be a great moment to recalibrate.

💥 Embracing Change: Eclipses are game-changers. You might experience sudden shifts in relationships or gain new perspectives you didn't see coming. Be open—sometimes unexpected changes bring the growth you didn't know you needed.

🎯 Setting Intentions: With the new moon energy fueling the eclipse, it’s the perfect time to set intentions for the kind of relationship you want to cultivate. What do you want your partnership to feel like? Use today’s energy to manifest those loving, balanced connections.


Take a moment and ask yourself:

  • What’s one part of your relationship (or wedding) where you’re craving a fresh start?
  • Are there any gut feelings about your big day or partnership that you’ve been brushing aside?
  • What old “shoulds” or societal expectations are you ready to kick to the curb?

No need for any grand rituals here—in fact, I heard its NOT what you should do, but I know the moon didn't come down and dish out those rules... so if you're feeling called, do YOU. Otherwise, just check in with your intuition and see what bubbles up.

Trust, your inner voice knows what’s up.

That was FUN to share with you. Just researching this and writing to you gave me a lot to think about. And hey, I’d really love to hear how this eclipse energy is showing up for you. What’s brewing beneath the surface? Hit reply and let me know how you’re feeling.

And don't forget about that group coaching! There's no spots left for Sunday, so I added a group same time, Saturday. Sign ups here: https://alifecoachforbrides.com/group/​

Talk soon! XOXO.
