Eclipse Season: A Mythological and Astrological Journey (Copy)

Eclipses have long been seen as powerful omens in cultures worldwide, symbolizing death, change, or divine displeasure. In ancient Greece and Rome, eclipses were interpreted as signs of the gods' anger, leading to rituals aimed at appeasing them. Chinese legends depicted eclipses as celestial dragons devouring the sun or moon, prompting loud rituals to restore balance. Indigenous cultures viewed eclipses as times of spiritual significance, performing rituals to honor ancestors or protect celestial bodies. In modern spirituality, eclipses are seen as moments for transformation and reflection, highlighting the cyclical nature of life and the interplay of light and darkness.
