The Eclipse Hangover: Why We Feel Weirder Than a Three-Eyed Frog After an Eclipse
Hey, Astrology enthusiasts (much like myself, if i’m being honest) and bewildered bystanders! 🌕🌖🌗
Did you recently find yourself staring into the cosmic abyss during an eclipse and now you're feeling a tad... off? (okay, okay, maybe you didn’t stare right into it… but you felt weird…right?) You're not alone! It's like you've just attended the universe's wildest party, and now you're nursing an Eclipse Hangover. But what's up with that? Why do we feel weirder than a three-eyed frog after an eclipse? Let’s dive into the celestial mystery!

The Eclipse: A Cosmic Block Party
Imagine the universe as a massive neighborhood where all the celestial bodies are like neighbors having a block party. During an eclipse, it's as if the sun, moon, and Earth decided to host a joint shindig. They get together, have a celestial soirée, and Earthlings are invited to watch (but no moonwalking on the sun, please!).
What Exactly is an Eclipse?
For those who might've slept through astronomy class (or binged too much Netflix), an eclipse happens when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another. We've got solar eclipses, where the moon slides in front of the sun, and lunar eclipses, where the Earth gets between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on our lunar pal.
The Eclipse Season: The Universe’s Soap Opera
Just like your favorite TV show has a season full of drama, the universe has its own version: Eclipse Season (and on top of it, we’re in Mercury Retrograde - Mercury Rx for the real enthusiasts). This isn’t just a one-night stand, folks. Oh no, it's a mini-series of celestial events that can last weeks or even months. And let's be real, it's more dramatic than a telenovela!
Eclipse Hangover Symptoms: The Cosmic Funk
So, you watched the eclipse (or didn’t), took some stellar selfies (or cried yourself to sleep), and now you're feeling... strange. Here are some symptoms of the Eclipse Hangover:
1. Cosmic Confusion
You might find yourself questioning reality. "Did that really just happen?" or "Am I still on Earth?" It's like your brain took a cosmic detour equivalent to a 12-hour road trip detour because your aunt wasn’t paying attention and is now trying to find its way back to normality.
2. Emotional Rollercoaster
One moment you're feeling on top of the world (or universe), and the next, you're emotionally spiraling faster than a shooting star. It's like your feelings got caught in a gravitational pull and can't find their way out.
3. Sleepless Nights
You might experience restless nights, filled with dreams of floating in space or encountering alien civilizations. Your sleep pattern might be as disrupted as a satellite signal during a thunderstorm. You likely have also been having some f*cked up dreams, am I right? Vivid as heck, but what to do with them? or without them…
4. Heightened Intuition
Some people report feeling more intuitive or spiritually connected after an eclipse. It's like the universe gave you a cosmic upgrade, and now you're tuned into a frequency you didn't even know existed. In the spiritual community we call this experience “receiving downloads”. If you ever hear me say “I downloaded something!” it likely isn’t your latest version of flash player (do those even exist anymore?).
Why Do We Feel This Way?
1. Celestial Energy Surge
During an eclipse, there's a surge of energy that can affect our electromagnetic field. It's like the universe just plugged us into a cosmic power outlet, and our systems are trying to recalibrate.
2. Psychological Impact
Eclipses have been shrouded in myths, legends, and superstitions for centuries. Our brains are wired to seek patterns and meanings, so when something as dramatic as an eclipse happens, it can stir up our deepest fears, doubts, hopes, dreams, and curiosities. Suddenly you’re quitting your 9-5, moving to another country and retiring your mother in Spain - “an eclipse made me do it!”.
3. Disruption of Routine
Let's face it, an eclipse disrupts our daily rhythm. Whether you're an astronomy enthusiast or just a casual observer, your routine is thrown out of whack. And as creatures of habit, any disruption can leave us feeling disoriented and dishevelled.
How to Cure Your Eclipse Hangover
1. Ground Yourself
Literally. Spend some time outdoors, connect with nature, and get your feet back on Earth. A little grounding can go a long way in helping you recalibrate.
2. Reflect and Journal
Take some time to reflect on your eclipse experience. Journaling can be a therapeutic way to process your thoughts, feelings, and cosmic revelations. I like to record my feelings like a psychopath - any recording app will work - If you wanna get intense about it, order yourself a mic and record a podcast.
3. Connect with Others
Share your eclipse stories and feelings with friends (this will make you feel less crazy), family, or fellow Astrology enthusiasts. Sometimes, talking it out can help us make sense of the cosmic chaos. You could always call upon your neighbourhood witch for guidance.
4. Embrace the Weirdness
Let's be real, life is weird, and eclipses are weirder. Embrace the strangeness, lean into the cosmic oddities, and remember that feeling a little off-center is all part of the universal dance.
