If you’re down a certain kind of spiritual influencer internet rabbit hole, you might have heard of timeline jumping. I’m in no way an expert in this practice, but I enjoy the term. Timeline Jump. It sounds fun, right? From what I understand, it’s a kind of hypnosis. Through a guided meditation and manifestation ritual with an expert guide, you can transcend linear circumstances and jump ahead on your desired path. Toward true love. Toward abundance. Toward a better job. Or a home in a new city.
I know practitioners who offer timeline jumps to individuals and also as memberships in group settings. Monthly timeline jumps. Quarterly timeline jumps. At the time of this writing, I’ve never done a private session, but I have taken part in one group ritual. Though I don’t think I transcended my current reality in any extreme way from participating, it definitely helped me notice how the future I desired was possible. Like any good meditation practice. A miraculous windfall didn’t arrive on my doorstep after the timeline jump, but I did find the energy to complete some necessary admin that improved my material reality in its own way. A lot of the magic I’ve done throughout my life has worked like this. I don’t get exactly what I want, but I do get what I need, within my given circumstances.
I’m not sure what the going rate for a private timeline jump is these days but last I checked it was something like $333 for a session. I know that’s a luxury in this economy. If you’re willing to slow down, pay attention, and convene with the universe during eclipse season though, you can often timeline jump on your own. Think of it like sneaking your own snacks into the movie theater. Risky but gets the job done.

Before I knew astrology like I do now and honestly, even after I was studying it in a more serious manner, I did something a lot of astrologers will tell you never to do: I initiated things on an eclipse. I launched projects during an eclipse. I moved cities during an eclipse. I started relationships during an eclipse. These are things that astrologers and even civilians in the ancient world would warn you not to do. But why? Well, it’s about light. The absence of it.
When the sun or the moon is eclipsed, the light that never goes out, goes out. The path forward isn’t clear. With that in mind, the guidance to be careful during eclipses is because, well, our vision is obscured. But in my personal experience, sometimes things just happen. We can’t help it. Fate takes the wheel.
An incomplete list of things I’ve done on the day of an eclipse:
Moved across the country from New York to Los Angeles
Met someone at a party who I later dated (not once, but twice)
Released an album with my college theater/comedy group
First kiss with someone I started dating a week later
Launched the moon missives magazine project
Shared my first ever horoscopes
Officially launched my 1-on-1 astrology business
Moved across the country from New York to Los Angeles (again)
These were whirlwind experiences and fated encounters. Both moves to Los Angeles were “planned” but the timing was mostly out of my control—the result of a bunch of coincidences and offers and cosmic winks from the universe. And yes, sure, the romantic stuff didn’t work out. Both moves were a hot mess. The moon missives magazine project was here for a good time, not for a long time. I didn’t get exactly what I wanted. I got what I needed. Within my given circumstances. But in most cases, I got out of a rut and jumped farther ahead on the timeline than I could’ve imagined months or even weeks before.
With September’s eclipses right around the corner, I’m not going to tell you not to do something on an eclipse. But whatever your best laid plans are, the universe might have something else in mind. Eclipses bring a change in the quality of time. If it’s your time to get moving, you’ll know. It might not make sense in the moment, but it will make sense in time.
