Over at our awesome Chart Harmony Discord, I get asked questions. Recently, one of ’em was about how very dehydrating the eclipses tend to be… and “is this legit?” So, of course, I got to answering it in such a way that it should be its own whole blog post!

I just uploaded a teach on “How to know the IMPACT any particular woo weather will have on ME” that I shot Wednesday for Live Your Chart members — I’m putting it on YouTube so everyone can benefit from it. [SCROLL DOWN FOR THE VID — or click here to watch it at the YouTubes.]

Basically, anyone with Cancer in their Life-Car, OR with Cancer in an angular house (1H, 4H, 7H, 10H), OR with their Chart Ruler in Cancer… is gonna be EXTRA impacted by “Moon shit.” And, as you know, eclipses are peak Moon shit.

Especially because these TWO eclipses are happening across TWO axes, we’re hit in a full 1/3 of our charts! So, that’s extra whammy-bammy.

AND because Mars is still out-of-bounds in Cancer (for fuck ever, it seems), there’s more “violence” to the vibe. And Aries ruling the head = why we’re all kicking around with migraine-like stuff + ringing in the ears + sinus or eye crap or mouth sores… or all of the above + tummy trouble!

Dehydration is real ALWAYS for anyone who has Cancer in those “high impact” places. And/or the Moon in an angular house or in a water sign… all of this leads to feeling overwatered and/or dehydrated along with the Moon.

Watch the tides! Now visualize that happening IN YOUR BODY. Water-babies legit have to behave as if we’re always keeping our aquarium/tank clean and the filters working well!

As for eclipses and health in general, I have a few clients who use each fortnight of the 2 eclipse seasons per year as vacation time/sabbaticals. Similarly, I go through the online scheduler and wall off time for myself WAY more liberally each eclipse season. I just know that EVERYTHING is going to “take more out of me” than usual… so why put myself through “normal” levels of activity? I create a schedule that’s less strenuous so I can recover better during this ENERGETICALLY taxing time.

All this to say: What you’re experiencing is legit/real/maybe even normal. You just notice it more because of your sensitivity superpower (Cancer Rising).

The MUSTS for any eclipse season are REST, HYDRATE, and BUBBLEWRAP. Protect yourself from big emotions, accidents, people with too much/chaotic energy, and if you can really clock out from the world, DO THAT. Cover your crystals. Clean your witchy tools. Reset your ancestral altar (and other altars too). See this time like Red Tent territory. There’s important stuff going on in these seasons. Honor that… all the way to a cellular level.
