Tiring Eclipse Energies – Why Do They Affect Me?

Hi There

In my recent blog ‘stimulating eclipse energy’, I explained why & how the energy of an Eclipse can stimulate us and suggested some easily obtainable crystals to use!

However, we’re not all stimulated by this energy. In fact, eclipse energy can really wipe some of us out ~ we’ll feel heavy, lethargic or tired. Those who feel tired are usually being introduced to a particular issue via eclipse energy. That sounds a bit strange I know, but hear me out………

The easiest way I can explain it is this……….. Sometimes we become aware from the inside that an issue needs to be addressed. This could be through memories, emotions or behavioural & thought patterns we aren’t happy with. Information could come to us from listening to our inner voice or through meditation. Somehow, the sign or realisation that something isn’t right comes from inside ourselves.

At other times, our energy system will be triggered or stimulated by something external to us, such as an eclipse, a crystal, a chance meeting with a stranger or conversation with a family member. We won’t be aware of this issue or situation, certainly not on a conscious level. After this external trigger however, we’ll start to think about it.

When we’re externally triggered by an eclipse, it is in the form of an energy that slowly moves through our external energy fields and sinks into our body. At this point, we become aware that we have an issue and it then follows the internal process above. We’ll start to explore the issue emotionally and wrap our minds around it. Only when we have full understanding, are we ready to shift and transform that issue. This is how a lot of us become aware of family patterns & things that have been passed down to us from our ancestors…..or from past lives.

However, when that trigger is first set off in our external energy system, it can absolutely wipe us out. Its a lot of energy for our system to process without any conscious awareness and can be extremely tiring. We may simply want the comfort of a blanket, the sofa, duvet, warmth, cuddles, indulgent foods ~ whatever makes us feel comforted, safe and restful. 

Nice crystals to use during a tiring eclipse are Garnet or Citrine. Both provide energy and stimulus, but they won’t send the head or third eye/crown chakras crazy. I’d avoid using Moldavite, Azezthulite or any of the ‘woo woo’ crystals with high frequencies unless you feel extremely drawn to do so. The body will feel tired because its already processing a lot of energy out in the auric field. When we’re tired, we tend to reach for sugar or caffeine on a physical level. When we feel energetically tired, we’ll reach for a  high frequency energy fix that does the same thing as sugar or caffeine. We’ll get a temporary energy lift, then probably feel even more tired a short time later. As with all things however, go with your own gut, it will always see you right.

Thats why I say energy affects us all in different ways. We are all on our own individual path at any given time. Some of us buzz from Eclipses, some want to sleep ~ one year we might do one thing and the next, another. For some, who aren’t on an aware spiritual path at all in this lifetime, they would read this website and think I’m absolutely bonkers ~ and thats OK too ~ they might even be right….lol ;-)

Whatever way an Eclipse affects us, change and transformation can leave us feeling vulnerable, it challenges our mental thought processes as so many of us need to change the way we think of a situation, ourselves, or others. Change brings up emotions as we work our way out of old patterns and situations that no longer serve. Change can often effect those we live with or care about, so there is the added pressure of following our own Spirit, whilst trying to juggle the responsibility of & consideration of others.

Always go with the flow of whatever you feel at the time, especially during an Eclipse. One way or another, that Eclipse will be working on you ~ to fight against the energy, to try to ground it, to smother or suppress it will only cause problems. If you’re feeling the energy of the eclipse at all, you’ll know. Your mind could be muddled, your thoughts jumbled, you could feel incredibly tired, your emotions could be haywire, you may want to eat comfort foods. So try to be open and above all, honour your system and provide it with whatever it needs. Eclipse energy starts to build three days beforehand, but dissipates pretty quickly afterwards.

  2. Thank you for your posts.
    I must say I have not managed to ride this month very well.
    A complete stop in energy and found myself completely depleted in all aspects.
    I was trying hard to find answers and all emotions accumulated this week falling into negative and pseudo control behaviours.
    I understand your whole blog and I am praying for that change and necessary honouring of our bodies. Hoping that revisiting old behaviours and patterns and a total emotional month will help to shift, release them, and be able to move on.
    Maybe one day with grace and flow!
    🙂

    Ive only been to work a few days since the eclipse. I find it hard to go to sleep at night and then I don’t want to work. I only want knowledge

      Hi Nicholas

      Yes, the energy can affect some of us that way.
      Knowledge is excellent, but it’s putting it into practice that makes the difference in our lives 😉
      Hope you get some good sleep soon, bright blessings, Krissy

  4. The April 8th 2025 solar eclipse has completely drained me starting a few days ago. I’m so tired I can barely move, I feel weak and my mind is foggy. My astrological sign is a cancer and being a water sign that is ruled by the moon, I’m really feeling it 😭 I am in bed and I can’t wait for the eclipse to be over.

      I’m a cancer too and literally felt like I was dying. In recent weeks I have been agitated and very emotional. Now physically ill

        So sorry to hear that Aimee. Happy to have a chat if you’re struggling still. With bright blessings, Krissy

      So sorry to hear that MommaJomma and hope you’re feeling better now the eclipse has passed. With bright blessings, Krissy

    April 8th 2024 as soon as the eclipse started I felt my body and brain so tired I wanted to go to sleep but couldn’t since I’m at work. And after I’m still feel so drained out. I’m a Scorpio water sign.

  6. Yes my children and I all felt very tired and all took a nap when it started and woke up after it ended we were so drained

      I had a mild headache and then slept 9 hours, so I hear you on feeling tired and needing some sleep. Hope you’re all feeling more energised now Dee and thanks for commenting. Blessings, Krissy

      Hi Eli, I’d get outside and Earth yourself on the ground. This is more than just grounding, it’s actually walking back and forth on grass, the earth, even concrete. Also, listen to your body, hydrate, eat good, nourishing foods (no sugar or alcohol as it messes with recovery speed) and ensure the body can sleep or rest when it needs to. Hope that helps, many thanks, Krissy

  7. I thought I was the only one that these weird feelings during the eclipse. So that day, my husband suggested that we stayed in. I wanted to see the eclipse but I obviously couldn’t because my glasses didn’t come in time. I still decided to go out and go to the store during the eclipse, and tell me why I started to feel weird, like if I was high. This was during I was driving to target. I felt like the energy was too strong and everything looked so weird, and I felt weird and like light headed. This feeling went away after the eclipse. Today April 10, 2024, I am freaking out because I am late on my period and now I think I may be pregnant and I hear that pregnant women shouldn’t be out slide during an eclipse because it’s a bad omen. I just really hope that I am not, because I am now freaking out.

  8. My energy is. Tapped. Out. Ever since the eclipse, I’m exhausted, but can’t sleep either lol goooood w the flow

    Thank you for your post. It has shed some “light” on my situation. In the few days leading up to the eclipse, I did not feel any real difference. During the eclipse progression, I was talking with my neighbor and enjoying the present moment. At the moment of totality, I looked at the eclipse for the entire 3 minutes in awe. I felt floaty and light. The dimness around me washed over me. When the totality ended, I went about my day, but that night – and literally every day since – I have been thoroughly exhausted! I prefer to be in a room without lights. I try to sleep at night but wake up every 2-4 hours. I usually sleep 6-7. I have felt cold on hot days – like bone marrow frozen kinda cold. I have felt depressed and on the edge of crying on a whim. This behavior has been a complete opposite to my usual self – which is energetic, happy, fun and with a bright outlook. I have tried to sleep at my regular bedtime and cannot. I crave naps during the day, can barely keep my head up or my eyes open, and my thoughts are all jumbled. My appetite hasn’t changed so I have no emotional eating or food cravings. I can only imagine what is happening with me – and maybe I will transform into a newer version of myself when this is overtaking is complete. I don’t know what I need to get back to my recognized level of normal. Just wanted to share my experience in case others are questioning as well. (Libra in Arlington, Texas)

    1. I also forgot to mentioned on my post, that I also started to feel body temp changes. It felt like hot flashes. It was so weird. I am usually always cold at nights, and last night I would cover myself and a minute later uncover myself because I was sweating, then again I would be cold, I took my temp because I thought I was maybe running a fever and nope, I was completely fine.
