Second, the Moon is going to get as close to the Earth as it gets in its orbit this year, creating an unusually large and bright full Moon.\u00a0 Third, as the first full Moon after the Equinox, this is also known as the \u2018Harvest Moon\u2019, which traditionally heralded that it was time to bring the crops in.<\/p>\n<p>Now, before we discuss the energetic reality of what\u2019s happening, two points: \u00a0First, this is just the flow of energy that\u2019s going on around us right now; think of it more like a weather report than anything set in stone.\u00a0 And second, the flow of energy doesn\u2019t come on or off like a light switch; the flow will begin tonight, but will affects for days, weeks, and possibly even months to come.<\/p>\n<p>Eclipses always mark times of transition; endings, and new beginnings.\u00a0 This doesn\u2019t have to be a particularly painful time, unless we are holding on too tightly to things that are better off being released.\u00a0 If you feel tears coming up during this time, don\u2019t fight it; just let go and release whatever is coming up.\u00a0 Once again, the pain can only come from holding on too tightly when you need to let go!<\/p>\n<p>Most of what\u2019s going on right now is in the area of relationships, and the resolution of events that were set in motion months ago.\u00a0 The supermoon eclipse is going to happen in Aries, the sign of forceful, direct, and aggressive action.\u00a0 The Sun, however, will be in peaceful Libra, which is concerned with peace, harmony, and balance above all else.\u00a0 As you can imagine, this might create times that feel like having our foot on the gas and the brake at the same time, and the key will be to balance inner drive with outer peace and calm.<\/p>\n<p>The interactions of the other planets are going to be pumping more energy into our relationships, specifically redefining our connections to other people and our boundaries.\u00a0 This is an excellent time to say all the things that you both know, but no one is saying.\u00a0 This is a great time to begin new relationship, or begin the process of moving on from ones that have run their course.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t forget, our old friend Mercury is still retrograde, negatively impacting communication, especially in the area of relationships, so don\u2019t be too hard on anyone who gets flustered easily or has trouble explaining how they really feel, or what they really mean.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing you can do during this time is to take action of some sort; anything you know you \u2018should\u2019 be doing but haven\u2019t, start it now.\u00a0 And above all else, don\u2019t just talk: DO something!<\/p>\n<p>No matter what, if you have the opportunity to get outside to see the eclipse, be sure to do it; this exact combination won\u2019t happen again until the year 2033!<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?

He is the winner of the \"Be the Next Beleifnet Featured Blogger\" contest for Beliefnet.com in the Hope &amp; Inspiration category. He is also the host of Rise UP with B. Dave Walters on Party 93.4 FM out of Hudson Valley, New York, as well as a nationally syndicated columnist on the topics of spirituality and relationships for the Examiner.com. He is the author of one book, \"49 Lost Secrets of Peace, Love, and Money\". For years, friends and relatives looked to him for guidance and support during difficult times, and he realized at an early age that his purpose in life was to serve and inspire. While touring as a personal coach with a prominent rock band, he was discovered by one of the top trainers of the Anthony Robbins companies, which lead to him settling down to open and operate a Marketing, Business Services and Coaching firm in Los Angeles. Armed with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he brings the same discipline and determination that helped him earn Black Belt rankings in Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi to all areas of study and focus. In addition to earning a degree in English from Morehouse College, he has mastered the science of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and other communication, healing, counseling and spiritual systems from all over the world. He brings his empathy, insight, and vast personal experience into all his relationships, which has lead to him being one of the most sought after Coaches in the world today.
