What do all these years have in common?
A Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse on Purim.
Why?
Because the North/South Lunar Nodal Axis - the "T'li" of the Sefer Yetzirah - is what brings eclipses.
Almost ALL our Jewish holidays are Full Moon holidays. Tu b'Shevat, Purim, Passover, Pesach Sheni, Tu b'Av, Sukkot.
ALL our Rosh Chodesh celebrations (including Rosh HaShanah) happen on or just after the New Moon, during which Solar Eclipses happen with predictable regularity.
New Moon = Solar Eclipse, aligned with the Nodal Axis (Sun and Moon together at the same Zodiacal degree)
Full Moon = Lunar Eclipse , aligned with the Nodal Axis (Sun and Moon opposite each other at the same Zodiacal degree)
THIS YEAR we have a Lunar Eclipse on Purim, and a Solar Eclipse on Erev Rosh Chodesh Nissan, like we did last year, and like we will next year. A Lunar Eclipse Trifecta on Purim!
The Sefer Yetzirah tells us: "The T'li in the Universe is like a King upon his throne". The North/South Lunar Nodal Axis changes Zodiac signs every 18 months or so. What is "a king upon his throne" if not rulership and sovereignty over the quality of time?
The theme of the Virgo/Pisces and Pisces/Virgo axis (which repeats itself every 18.5 years, switching polarity every 9-ish years), which we're having a Trifecta Eclipse Cycle on Purim 2024, 2025 and 2026 is SERVICE (Virgo) and SACRIFICE (Pisces). It's also DISCERNMENT (Virgo) and FAITH (Pisces), CARE (Virgo) and COMPASSION (Pisces).
Service/Sacrifice
Discernment/Faith
Care/Compassion
Are you in sync with the quality of time?
