On October 28th at 4:24 pm EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun (in 5º of Taurus/Scorpio). The entrance of the Moon into Taurus on Oct. 28th at 7:44am EDT begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
This powerful Full Moon is also a Lunar Eclipse.Every six months, the Sun, Moon, & Earth align precisely enough for Solar and Lunar Eclipses to occur.
This powerful Full Moon is a shallow Partial Lunar Eclipse viewable across Europe, Africa, most of Asia, and western Australia. The partial Eclipse lasts 78 minutes (=1hr 18min), so we will feel the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for approximately 39 days.
This Lunar Eclipse is the last of the Eclipses in the Taurus-Scorpio polarity — an Eclipse cycle that began in November 2021!
This allows us to complete an evolutionary process emphasizing creating a healthy sense of self-esteem and having a healthy relationship with the physical world — learning how to value ourselves, each other, and the Earth.
So, the question is: How well have you been doing with this exploration for yourself since November of 2021? What more is there to be learned? What processes are asking to be completed?
What fears are still asking to be faced? What old traumas still need to be healed? What’s the best way to own your power? What is still holding you back?
As you might know from my last Solar Eclipse video, Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (collectively and individually).
The Lunar Eclipse highlights relationships of all kinds — but with this particular Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, there is a heightened emphasis on self-value and intimate relationships. Full Moons also illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices.
We become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored — or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what we need to explore, embrace, and integrate about the Taurus energy.
What became clearer at that time around exploring my talents? What about my self-worth — was I able to see my value? What about my relationship with money? To my physical reality? My Body? My ability to receive pleasure? To experience inner peace? Where do I need to take this to the next level?
There is currently an Early Bird Special that is available until October 25th! So I invite you to take advantage of that — unless you are already a Star Member — you are automatically registered and will receive an invite email to join us live (it goes out the day before the live event). I release the mp4 video recording within 24 hours of the live event.
Many planets are involved in this powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse chart:
The Moon in Taurus closely conjuncts Jupiter
The Moon not only opposes the Sun but also Mercury & Mars in Scorpio
The Moon sextiles an exalted Saturn in Pisces
Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is currently in Virgo and trines Uranus & Jupiter in Taurus
Venus in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces
The modern ruler of Scorpio (Pluto) is still in Capricorn and exalted, sextiling Neptune
Pluto also still squares the Moon Nodes in Aries-Libra
Pluto also trines Uranus in Taurus
Mars (the traditional ruler of Scorpio) closely aligns with Mercury in Scorpio
Mars & Mercury in Scorpio almost exactly oppose Jupiter in Taurus
I’ll give you more details in a moment. For the next 39 days, we seek…

For the next 39 days, we seek the balance and integration of those two polarities and are aware that something needs to be brought into alignment; the balance in question is between recognizing our deepest emotional desires or fears and most authentic motivations (Scorpio), and our relationship to our physical body and our talents (how worthy we feel), what we value on the physical plane, and the planet we live on (Taurus).
You can ask yourself with this Lunar Eclipse: What do I truly value? What deserves my attention, appreciation, and care? Which of my values stem from social conditioning? Which of them needs to change?
At its best, Scorpio is associated with transformation and our capacity to shed what may have served us in the past but now hinders our growth. We are indeed being asked to shed something in our life — a false belief, perhaps, or a “fake” identity or “way of being” (an addiction or obsessive behavior) but it could also be a relationship, job, or something else more concrete.
The Sun’s passage through Scorpio is a time of transition, a time to go within to honor the realities of death and rebirth — the cycle of life, the most natural thing there is. The Sun started its passage through Scorpio on October 23rd.
Ask yourself: How far have I come in regards to investigating or understanding my deepest desires? How am I doing with owning previously denied or rejected parts of myself? What parts of myself still operate on survival strategies? Where am I still left feeling disempowered in my life?
As our collective consciousness continues to awaken, what’s been in the shadows comes more and more to the forefront, so we can see it more clearly and deal with it on a conscious level. Lunar Eclipses also allow us to see the Shadow aspects of each sign.
Scorpio ultimately teaches us that every ending is also a beginning — but the denser vibrations of Scorpio tend to bring up trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances) — and anything we want to prevent. We could find ourselves coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, from survival, rather than intuition and love-based spaciousness.
Ask yourself here: What am I invited to shed? Is there a cycle in my life that is ending? What might a new beginning look like?
The other pole in this balancing act is Taurus, which seeks a healthy relationship with the physical world; the Moon in Taurus calls us back to our senses. Taurus is often associated with money, but the sign is ultimately about our values, of which money is a subset.
We are invited to remember that we are blessed with a miraculous birthday suit, and a beautiful, precious planet — if we feel unworthy or empty inside, material objects or accumulations can only serve as a substitute or distraction from the emptiness that comes from forgetting those facts.
Ask yourself: What do I spend my time, energy, and money on? What might that mirror show me if this reflected my relationship with myself? Do I feel worthy? Do I value myself? How do I show my value?
Do I seem to struggle with money (accumulating, keeping, making the most of it, etc.)? Does money fill an emotional void in my life? Do material objects do that? Or is money simply a tool or an energy exchange for me? How might a shift in perspective help resolve my relationship to money — and ultimately towards myself?
Taurus teaches us about the power of beauty, and about things that make us happy on a physical level — we are also called to develop our talents and sense of self-worth — and are helped to discover and manifest what we truly value and enjoy.
If we are to experience the highest vibration of Taurus, a healthy sense of self-worth is critical, so ask yourself: What matters most to me? What makes me happy, deep down? What is in the way of me honoring the physical plane? Of honoring my body? The planet? Physical beauty?
What is between me and feeling valued in the world? What if I was the only one of me there will ever be? What might my value be then?
In Taurus, we discover what we most require; in Scorpio, we explore what we most desire… and fear.
Let’s move to some of the aspects of this Lunar Eclipse chart: The Moon conjuncts Jupiter in Taurus, giving this Eclipse a more pronounced flavor of expansion and excitement.
This also gives us extra energy and excitement to see things from a different perspective, be less afraid of making mistakes, and keep going with whatever feels most aligned with our values and brings the most financial growth.
Ask yourself: Where am I waiting to create more abundance? What perspective shifts would be most beneficial to my bank account now?
What if life were happening “for me” instead of “to me”? What if abundance was everywhere, no matter where I looked? Could I just decide to believe that? Just decide that was the case?
We have an opportunity here to look at our beliefs in connection with physical comforts and anything that gives us pleasure and stability and see if those beliefs align with what nurtures us.
It’s worthwhile to ponder philosophical questions about whether or not our needs are being met — and whether our physical comforts leave us feeling nurtured.
The next 39 days will be an opportunity to expand our perspectives on financial issues or concerns — or look at our physical reality and what feeds us.
This alignment between the Sun, Mercury & Mars brings a heightened focus towards thinking about the depth of our psyche, facing our worst fears, or dealing with loss in some way — in particular, letting go of the “old”, to let in the “new”.
Ask yourself: If I remain attached to the “old” (perhaps through fear of letting go of it to meet the “new”), might this create some difficulties for me? If I let go of the old, could it help me build inner strength? Am I ready for “the new”? Can I trust the process? The cycles of Life?
Am I noticing an obsessive quality in my thinking? Am I afraid of something terrible happening? Or just concerned?
Where am I trying to control what’s outside of me? How’s that working for me? What might happen if I focused on empowering myself and others? What if I opened my heart 5% wider? What if I surrendered 5% of my fears? What if I experiment with taking a deep breath when I feel impatient or rushed?
Something to be aware of: We may take things a little too personally. This combo could make it challenging for others to engage in a healthy dialogue with us. We may obsess over something and favor being “right” over being happy.
The opposition to the Moon/Jupiter alignment brings impulsiveness, insatiable desires, and daring behaviors. Since we have Jupiter & Mars involved in this opposition, there is a real spirit of adventure. We need to be aware of wanting too much from ourselves or others.
Our sex drive might be increased for the next 39 days, and we may feel that we don’t have enough sex – or enough experience. Our impulsiveness might be combined with feeling competitive, leading to gambling, not just with money, but with other people’s feelings or risky behaviors.
We might gloss over realistic details, which could get us into debt. We might overindulge in pleasures such as food and drink and promise more than we can deliver.
Ask yourself: When is it time to stop (or at least slow down) so I can feel satisfied with what I am engaging in? When do I know that enough is enough? Could I be 5% more realistic about what I have (materially speaking) and what I can share? How might I channel these energies into projects that can bring emotional and financial fulfillment?
The Moon sextiles an exalted Saturn inPisces. Saturn is exalted until November 14th, and Saturn will end its 5-month retrograde phase (that started on June 17th) on Nov. 4th. As best as you can during the time of its station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations.
The Moon’s Sextile to Saturn is an opportunity to create a finer balance between our need for safety around our physical/material realities and our need to keep things real in the energetic, spiritual, or intuitive realm.
It is also an opportunity to have more self-discipline and self-motivation in our lives — we are more likely to find an increased focus on spiritual, inner self-mastery, coupled with feeling nurtured when it comes to our physical comforts and realities.
Ask yourself: Could I trust my inner knowing (or intuition) 5% more? What spiritual practices could support me on this inward journey? What resonates with my core? What is realistic and practical?
What practices would support an experience of greater abundance and self-worth? What am I being asked to give up for a stronger connection to my inner guidance? Could a different approach towards “timing” support me in understanding the actual value of something?
Our outlook is more cheerful and hopeful, the atmosphere cooperative yet grounded in reality — it’s an excellent time for winning people’s enthusiasm.
Ask yourself: How could I implement revolutionary financial or social practices that support my current values and make life more enjoyable for me and everyone who interacts with me socially or receives my services or what I have to offer?
What financial opportunities are opening up to me at this time? What connections might bring about expansion? What if I asked “who” as often as I asked “how”?
Venus inVirgoopposes Neptune inPisces. This opposition asks us to dissolve anything we valued in the past that no longer serves us or provides a closer connection to the divine. Compassion may play a significant role in our interactions.
Ask yourself: What is in alignment with my higher Self? Can I find a way to connect the dots between a scientific and spiritual approach? Could I be open to the idea that all things are connected, even those that seem impossible to reconcile? Where might “perfect” and “exact” be overrated?
As best as you can, find your inner balance with what’s real and what’s not… and allow others and yourself to be human, limitations and all.
The Sextile to Neptune presents an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something tangible — this is also an opportune time to let go of fears connected to our long-term goals.
Ask yourself: Might trusting emotional connections lead to more authentic and passionate engagement with what I’m building for the long term?
Is it at least possible that combining imagination with trust in divine guidance would support my empowerment in society? What would I do if directing kindness toward the world would bring peace to my life and heart?
Pluto also still squares the Moon Nodes inAries-Libra. This combo will remain strong until Dec. 8th, 2023. We get a significant opportunity to stretch and grow on our collective and individual Soul’s Journey! It indicates a turning point — individually and collectively speaking!
We are invited to let go of what is destructive to ourselves or others. Ask yourself: What do I see? What am I painfully aware of? What stems from the past and needs to be transformed?
What might open up if I placed 5% more focus on self-care and self-nurturing? How could I connect more powerfully with my ability to feel safe from within? Could I release all fears and trust life?
Pluto also trines Uranus in Taurus. With this combo, we can better connect to anything that involves an empowering long-term involvement. We might also implement revolutionary business practices or government programs that support our values and make life tangibly more enjoyable.
Ask yourself: How might new, fresh, and practical ideas create progress with my long-term goals connected to finances or my standing in society? Where am I ready for change? Where do I need to stop underestimating myself?
Where do I need to break free from conventional approaches and find a way to individuate so I can honor my talents and what’s important to me on the physical plane?
This combo underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. We can recalibrate ourselves. Shifts and changes are on the horizon!
To sum up: this Lunar Eclipse challenges us to rethink our interactions with others, use our power wisely, and remember we are all interconnected in this vast social experiment. Hating or disconnecting from other people is not going to change that!
We can see how far we have come since November 2021 when facing our fears and valuing ourselves and our authentic relationships with others.
Ask yourself: What fears or inauthentic (or even toxic) relationships must I still release or transform if I am to step into greater abundance and happiness in my life?
This potent Full Moon also asks us to break away from anything keeping us from honoring our uniqueness and quirks — and from whatever has us in a rut, collectively and individually.
Shifts are happening everywhere. It’s time to develop some self-love and awareness. Ask yourself: Where do I want to have more certainty? Where do I want to break free? How is my body recalibrating to break free from outdated habits that keep me in lower/denser vibrational states?
Our thinking may become obsessive over the next 39 days, but becoming controlling (or even paranoid) does not serve us — choose your battles wisely and seek to provide empowerment wherever possible. As best as you can, come from love, not fear! Give yourself permission to rest and heal.
Use the power of this Lunar Eclipse to get grounded in your physical and emotional body, break up any stagnation in your system or your relationships, and accelerate your transformation by immersing yourself in a deeper connection to all of life.
Here are a few final coaching questionsfor this Lunar Eclipse: If letting go always brought more peace, what would I dare to release? If I knew that holding on kept me small, could I let go?
Remember: When enough of us can recalibrate our energy levels to a higher frequency and authentically integrate all of who we are (the good, the bad, and the ugly), those who feed on the denser energies will either change or make space for new life to come through.
Ask yourself often: What if I were in human form at this time to assist with birthing a new and higher collective consciousness on Earth? What if I could do that without making anyone else wrong? What if we could actually achieve that one human at a time?
Please keep in mind that we are still in Eclipse seasonuntil November 7th. So, as best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better — the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.
Stay grounded and flexible — and don’t jump the gun for the next 2-3 weeks — if you feel compelled to do something, do your best to observe the urge — unless it is connected to something that happens organically — if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off until Eclipse Season endson November 7th.
The more an Eclipse activates our birth chart, the more we feel impelled to go to the next level. Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5º orb instead of 2º — so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 5 degrees of Taurus:

With her Readings, her coaching and her Soul-Based Astrology Courses she aims to empower and support people in fulfilling their life’s potential and aligning with Soul Purpose.
On May 5th, at 1:34pm EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun in 15 degrees of Scorpio/Taurus. The entrance of the Moon into Scorpio on May 4th, begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
This powerful Full Moon is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (the most subtle kind of Lunar Eclipses) that can be viewed in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, the South Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean.The duration lasts 258 minutes (= 4hrs 18min.).This means that we will feel the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for four months and nine days.
This particular Lunar Eclipse is the second of two Eclipses within two weeks; it offers an opportunity for a deeper, more authentic connection with ourselves and others. Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so keep in mind: Eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul’s path.
During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow, stimulating our emotional body and increasing our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears. This means we may feel more easily triggered as buried emotions, motivations, and fears surface. Beware of projections and jumping to conclusions.
If you are not sure when you are projecting something on someone else, check for these signs: defensiveness, over-reactivity, or difficulty being objective while exhibiting rigid behaviors.
As you might know from my last Solar Eclipse video, Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (both collectively and individually). The Moon Nodes remain in a particular polarity for 18 months. They have been in Taurus-Scorpio since Jan. 18th, 2022, highlighting issues around emotional trauma/fears & physical stability, finance, and our relationship with our physical environment and natural resources.
The North Node in Taurus emphasizes the necessity of self-esteem and a healthy relationship with the physical world — with our bodies, resources, and the Earth. The South Node in Scorpio symbolizes our need to face our fears, heal old trauma, be conscious of our motivations, and own our power, so we can step into a more passionate relationship with life and others.
Eclipses reoccur in 19-year cycles. On May 4th, 2004, there was a South Node Lunar Eclipse at 14º42’ Scorpio-Taurus, very close to the degree of this Eclipse. Ask yourself: What areas of my life needed to be addressed back then? Where am I being called to make major changes now?
All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads, symbolized by the signs involved, in this case: The Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus.
There are several aspects worth mentioning in this Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse chart:
Pluto (the ruler of Scorpio) is currently in Aquarius — and still exalted, although already in its Retrograde motion — squares Mercury(also in its Retrograde motion) in Taurus, and the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio
Mars (the co-ruler of Scorpio), currently in Cancer,still squares Chiron in Aries (as we already saw at the time of the Solar Eclipse)
Venus (the ruler of Taurus) squares Neptune in Pisces and sextiles Jupiter in Aries
Saturn in Pisces trines the South Node in Scorpio and sextiles the Mercury-North Node alignment in Taurus
Last but not least, Uranus plays a significant role in this Eclipse chart — and we will address all of these planetary alignments in a moment.
Since this Lunar Eclipse is almost a continuation of the last Lunar Eclipse in November of 2022, in 16º of Taurus-Scorpio, we can check to see how far we have come since then, when it comes to facing our fears and valuing ourselves and our authentic relationships to others.
Ask yourself: What fears or inauthentic (or even toxic) relationships must I still release or transform if I am to step into greater abundance and happiness in my life? What has changed for me in the last six months? What is calling to me now?
For the next 4 months, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities and are aware that something needs to be brought into alignment; the balance in question is between our physical attachments, aversions, and connections — symbolized by Taurus— and our emotional attachments, aversions, and connections (Scorpio).
The time of the Lunar Eclipse brings greater awareness to what was unconscious or hidden previously. This particular one invites us to let go of fears or disempowering behaviors and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution, individually and collectively.
So, here’s this Eclipse’s central question: As a society, are we living in alignment with our values, with what makes us happy and satisfied? How about as individuals? Do we feel empowered and emotionally fulfilled? Are there any fears in our way to achieving progress? Or any rigid thought processes?

[wcm_restrict]
Taurus seeks comfort and material stability. It’s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general — and also with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely “self-esteem”.
Of course, Taurus also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures, immovability, and wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don’t experience physical discomfort.
Scorpio, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing them into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or whatever has become stale or toxic. Put another way, it helps us move from a “survival mentality”, to a passionate engagement with life.
Ask yourself: Where in my own life do I observe a “survival mentality”? In what ways might I have protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?
It’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.
What is Scorpio’s shadow?
Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic), avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)… and anything we want to prevent: Scorpio’s shadow has us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.
Scorpio wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next four months, ask yourself: Where do my behaviors bring disempowerment to others or myself? Where do my behaviors simply bring pain? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?
Now, let’s talk about some of the aspects of this Lunar Eclipse chart, starting with Pluto (the ruler of Scorpio):
Pluto in Aquarius— still exalted, although already in its Retrograde motion — squares Mercury(also in its Retrograde motion) in Taurus. Squares usually offer an invitation to “stretch and grow” and do things differently. Since Mercury is involved, we must change our minds about something and start thinking differently.
Since Pluto and Mercury are both Retrograde, we are looking at a far more internal process when it comes to letting go of anything that still disempowers us. We are invited to look at our inner dialog, thoughts, or thinking processes. As best as you can, repair, replace, or release what is not working, and always trust your intuition.
Ask yourself: What am I learning about my inner dialog and ability to value myself? What needs to be re-addressed that came up over the last three weeks in regards to money? Physical matter? Self-worth (or honoring myself and my talents)?
Pluto’s Square to the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio asks us to live authentically and empower others whenever possible. We are also invited to look at anything that disempowers us as a chance to make a difference and create the change we want to see in the world.
The best way to do this is to focus on our self-expression and joy — to balance any obsessiveness or fears around our future or collective causes that we share with others against our ability to have fun and enjoy ourselves.
Ask yourself: What do I see? What am I painfully aware of? What stems from the past and needs to be transformed? What might open up if I placed 5% more focus on enjoyment, gratitude, and healthy self-expression? How could I connect with others and have fun while giving everyone space to be themselves? Could I release all fears and trust life?
Mars (the co-ruler of Scorpio), currently in Cancer,still squares Chiron in Aries (as we already saw at the time of the Solar Eclipse). This aspect invites us to stretch and grow beyond what we thought was possible concerning our masculine energies.
It requires a creative approach and an ability to see our insecurities around anger or self-assertion as a part of being human.Since Mars also rules Aries, we must approach Self-care, feeling nurtured and safe from a more holistic perspective.
Ask yourself: What feels safe to me in this now moment? What has felt safe to me in the past? What nurtures me right here, right now? What feels familiar that used to nurture me? Could I allow for a holistic mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual approach to what nurtures me?
Venus (the ruler of Taurus) is currently in Gemini, where it squares Neptune in Pisces and sextiles Jupiter in Aries.
The Square to Neptune in Pisces invites us to have faith, go with the flow, and let our intuition guide us in money and love — and if we can do so, we will grow through it.
As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others — and watch out for any tendency to make hasty decisions or to sacrifice yourself for others! Or to be naïve about money or other people.Before making any important decisions, check with your intuition (in other words, go within first).
Ask yourself: Before moving forward with a relationship or financial decision, could I tune in and get clear about my energy body and what is needed now? What if I granted 5% more trust to my inner guidance? What might I hear if I listened 5% more closely to the subtle messages of my divine nature?
The Sextile to Jupiter in Aries allows us to see the bigger picture if we choose to. It invites us to connect and share our thoughts.
Ask yourself: What conversations would give me a new perspective about myself and my role in my one-on-one relationships? What self-perspectives might support beneficial outcomes in my day-to-day interactions with others? What attitudes towards life might do the same?
How could I step into a “bigger” version of myself and connect with people who appreciate that version?
Jupiter is in the last degrees ofAries and will move into Tauruson May 16th. If you have a Sagittarius Sun-Sign, Rising sign, or Moon sign, Jupiter’s journey through Taurus will have a more significant impact on you.
Moon in Scorpio opposes the Sun & Uranus in Taurus, giving this Lunar Eclipse a flavor of unpredictability and a need for inventiveness and thinking outside the box regarding our interactions with others, our material resources, the physical world in general, and our values.
We might want to break away from whatever keeps us from honoring ourselves and instead develop awareness around our personal values versus those we may have adopted or inherited.
Ask yourself: What’s mine? What isn’t? What if it were ok to have a different outlook from others, even those we love? What about different values? Could I have some space around this, rather than conflict?
If I didn’t have to do things the way I’ve always done them up until now, could I choose to do them in a way that makes me happy now?
Saturn in Pisces trines the South Node in Scorpio and sextiles the Mercury-North Node alignment in Taurus. This means that when we focus on the Saturn energies, we have a much easier time integrating/balancing the Taurus-Scorpio polarity.
Saturn in Pisces invites us to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, one-consciousness, etc. We are also being asked to firm up our intuitive connection to life — it is a time to focus on what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to our idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams.
The Trine makes it easier for us to responsibly release traumas from the past and allow ourselves to feel whatever needs to be felt without needing to step into any victim behaviors.
Ask yourself: What are my motivations when connecting with others? Do I have an agenda? Do I try to protect myself? Am I afraid of losing something, being hurt, or being betrayed? How can I be 5% more gentle with myself, especially concerning past traumas or fears?
How might a realistic and mature approach toward my protective mechanisms or survival strategies help me surrender my fears concerning past trauma or disempowerment? What has been in my awareness lately when it comes to those fears?
The Sextile to the Mercury-North Node alignment in Taurus invites us to communicate realistically and see our value and preferences as ours and ours alone. This also gives us the opportunity to understand our conditioning and thought processes better.
Ask yourself: What difference might it make on my journey toward spiritual self-mastery if I listened 5% more attentively to myself? What if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog and how I value myself?
Could I slow down for a moment and take in what is truly happening inside and around me? Could I trust that everyone is exactly where they need to be? Including myself?
To sum it all up for this Lunar Eclipse: This potent Full Moon highlights the power “traumas and fears” play in our lives. This Eclipse challenge us to rethink our interactions with others, use our power wisely, and remember we are all interconnected.
For the next four months, experiment with these questions: Just for today, could I choose to trust my ability to belong and be part of an empowerment process that serves the collective and the future I am “living into”?
Use the power of this Lunar Eclipse to get grounded in your physical and emotional body, break up any stagnation in your system or your relationships, and accelerate your transformation by immersing yourself in a deeper connection to all of life.
Ask yourself: Where am I holding on to addictions or obsessions that leave me feeling less happy in the end? How could my breath support me in effortlessly releasing the old and allowing the new to flow in? If my breath gave my body the message that “all is well”, would I consider implementing “conscious breathing” more often?
Infuse your daily routines with a heart-centered attitude that promotes health & healing; if you are able, go for walks in nature, take yoga classes, practice walking mediations, or dance and sing your way through the living room…
Remember, you don’t have to do anything the way you’ve always done it, you can choose to do it in whichever way makes you most happy…
It’s best for us to move forward slowly but surely, knowing all the while that our sense of balance must come from within, staying rooted in the inner knowing that all is well.
Ask yourself: Where have I tried to control something outside of myself? How might a realistic focus on myself and what I do have influence over, support my efforts at this time?
Remember: Eclipses bring a strong focus to endings and beginnings — they push us forward in our evolution and connect us more fully to our Soul’s Journey. As best as you can, trust that whatever is leaving or falling apart is making way for something better — the more open we are to change, the easier it will be to go to the next level.

Because Eclipses are so powerful, I use a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5º orb instead of 2º… so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 15º of Scorpio…
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-20 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

*******************************
Sonja’s passion is for connecting with people and helping them transform their lives. This led her to train as a life coach, in addition to her lifelong study of Astrology. With her Readings, her coaching and her Soul-Based Astrology Courses she aims to empower and support people in fulfilling their life’s potential and aligning with Soul Purpose.
OnNovember 8th, at 6:02am EST, the Moon opposes the Sun (in 16 degrees of Taurus/Scorpio).
This powerful Full Moon is also a Lunar Eclipse. Every six months, the Sun, Moon, & Earth align precisely enough for Solar and Lunar Eclipses to occur.
During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow, stimulating our emotional body and increasing our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears.
This powerful Full Moon is a Total Lunar Eclipse viewable across Asia, Australia, the Americas, and the Pacific. The duration of totality lasts 85 minutes (=1hr 25min), so we will feel the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for approximately 43 days.
This Total Lunar Eclipse will also fall on the upcoming Election Day in the USA; this is the first Election Day total Lunar Eclipse in U.S. history, and it won’t happen again until November 8th, 2394!
This particular Lunar Eclipse is the second of two Eclipseswithin two weeks; it offers an opportunity to value ourselves, each other, and the Earth.
There is an emphasis with this Eclipse on creating a healthy sense of self-esteem and having a healthy relationship with the physical world.
And what’s the best way to accomplish that? By facing our fears, healing old trauma, and owning our power, we are releasing what’s been holding us back — individually and collectively.
As you might know from my last Solar Eclipse video, Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (both collectively and individually). All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads, symbolized by the signs involved; in this case: The Moon is in steady, peaceful Taurus, while the Sun is in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio.
The more receptive we are to these transformative downloads, the more quickly and easily we can integrate them; time in nature, meditation, art, and spiritual endeavors support this integration process and help us better attune to these evolutionary upgrades.
The Lunar Eclipse highlights relationships of all kinds — but with this particular Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, there is a heightened emphasis on self-value and intimate relationships. Full Moons also illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices.
We become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored — or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what we need to explore, embrace, and integrate about the Taurus energy.
It’s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree of Taurus. Think back to November 9th, 2003: What did I need to integrate back then? What became clearer at that time around exploring my talents? What about my self-worth? Was I able to see my value? What about my relationship with money? To my physical reality? My Body? My ability to receive pleasure? To experience peace? Where do I need to take this to the next level?
We will also address this upcoming Lunar Eclipse in our next Forecasting Forum on November 12th! Please join us if you’d like to know how this powerful Lunation will impact you personally. We will also address Jupiter’s Station Direct phase in Pisces. What have you learned about yourself and life since July 28th? What new perspectives are you ready to bring to the world?
There is currently an Early Bird Special that is available until November 8th! So I invite you to take advantage of that — unless you are already a Star Member — you are automatically registered and will receive an invite email to join us live (it goes out the day before the live event). I release the mp4-video recording within 24 hours of the live event.
That’s it for announcements and logistics; back to the Lunar Eclipse:
Many planets are involved in this powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse chart — an important T-Square with Saturn as the Focus Point in Aquarius and the empty leg in Leo. The Moon conjuncts Uranus in Taurus, while the ruler of Taurus (Venus) still conjuncts the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio. The ruler of Scorpio (Pluto) is still in Capricorn, sextiling Neptune & Jupiter, who have come back together in Pisces.
Mars (the traditional ruler of Scorpio) is now Retrograde in Gemini, still exalted until November 13th, creating a lasting Square with Neptune and now Jupiter in Pisces. The good news: we also have a Trine (a harmonious aspect) between Venus (ruler of Taurus) and Neptune. More about the specifics in regards to all of this in a moment.
This Full Moon is the third Lunar Eclipse in the Taurus-Scorpio polarity, connected to the current Moon Nodes in Taurus/Scorpio –– a process which will continue to unfold until…

This Full Moon is the third Lunar Eclipse in the Taurus-Scorpio polarity,connected to the current Moon Nodes in Taurus/Scorpio — a process which will continue to unfold until July 17th, 2023. The first Lunar Eclipse in that same polarity took place last year in November 2021 (in 27º of Taurus-Scorpio). Then we also had a Lunar Eclipse in that polarity on May 16th of this year (in 25º of Scorpio-Taurus).
We can check to see how far we have come since November of last year when facing our fears and valuing ourselves and our authentic relationships with others. Ask yourself: What fears or inauthentic (or even toxic) relationships must I still release or transform if I am to step into greater abundance and happiness in my life?
For the next 43 days, we seek the balance and integration of those two polarities and are aware that something needs to be brought into alignment; the balance in question is between recognizing our deepest emotional desires or fears and most authentic motivations (Scorpio), and our relationship to our physical body and our talents (how worthy we feel), what we value on the physical plane, and the planet we live on (Taurus).
You can ask yourself with this Lunar Eclipse: What do I truly value? What deserves my attention, appreciation, and care? Which of my values stem from social conditioning? Which of them needs to change?
At its best, Scorpio is associated with transformation, and our capacity to shed what may have served us in the past but now hinders our growth. We are indeed being asked to shed something in our life — a false belief, perhaps, or a “fake” identity or “way of being” (an addiction or obsessive behavior) but it could also be a relationship, job, or something else more concrete.
The Sun’s passage through Scorpio is a time of transition, a time to go within to honor the realities of death and rebirth — the cycle of life, the most natural thing there is. The Sun started its passage through Scorpio on October 23rd.
Ask yourself: How far have I come in regards to investigating or understanding my deepest desires? How am I doing with owning previously denied or rejected parts of myself? What parts of myself still operate on survival strategies? Where am I still left feeling disempowered in my life?
As our collective consciousness continues to awaken, what’s been in the shadows comes more and more to the forefront, so we can see it more clearly and deal with it on a conscious level. Lunar Eclipses allow us to see the Shadow aspects of each sign as well.
Scorpio ultimately teaches us that every ending is also a beginning — but the denser vibrations of Scorpio tend to bring up trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances) — and anything we want to prevent. We could find ourselves coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, from survival, rather than intuition and love-based spaciousness.
Ask yourself here: What am I invited to shed? Is there a cycle in my life that is ending? What might a new beginning look like?
The other pole in this balancing act is Taurus, which seeks a healthy relationship with the physical world; the Moon in Taurus calls us back to our senses. Taurus is often associated with money, but the sign is ultimately about our values, of which money is a subset.
We are invited to remember that we are blessed with a miraculous birthday suit, and a beautiful, precious planet — if we feel unworthy or empty inside, material objects or accumulations can only serve as a substitute or distraction from the emptiness that comes from forgetting those facts.
Ask yourself: What do I spend my time, energy, and money on? If this reflected my relationship with myself, what might that mirror show me? Do I feel worthy? Do I value myself? How do I show my value?
Do I seem to struggle with money (accumulating it, keeping it, making the most of it, etc.)? Does money fill an emotional void in my life? Do material objects do that? Or is money simply a tool or an energy exchange for me? How might a shift in perspective help resolve my relationship to money — and ultimately towards myself?
Taurus teaches us about the power of beauty, and about things that make us happy on a physical level — we are also called to develop our talents and sense of self-worth — and are helped to discover and manifest what we truly value and enjoy.
If we are to experience the highest vibration of Taurus, a healthy sense of self-worth is critical, so ask yourself: What matters most to me? What makes me happy, deep down? What is in the way of me honoring the physical plane? Of honoring my body? The planet? Physical beauty?
What is between me and feeling valued in the world? What if I was the only one of me there will ever be? What might my value be then?
In Taurus, we discover what we most require; in Scorpio, we explore what we most desire… and fear.
Let’s move to some of the aspects of this Lunar Eclipse chart:
The Moon conjuncts Uranus in Taurus, giving this second Eclipse a more pronounced flavor of unpredictability, a heightened need for inventiveness, and a call for thinking outside the box regarding our interactions with others, our material resources, the physical world in general, and our values.
We might want to break away from whatever keeps us from honoring ourselves.
Ask yourself: What if it were ok to have a different outlook from others, even those we love? What about different values? Could I create some space around this rather than conflict? If I didn’t have to do things the way I’ve always done them up until now, could I choose to do them in a way that makes me happy now?
This combo underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. We can recalibrate ourselves. Shifts and changes are on the horizon!
Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, unique ideas, and (most of all) progress. Our willingness to innovate is firm with this alignment. New ways of seeing, using, and approaching our possessions, valuables, money, and talents come into focus.
It takes courage to try something new and different, so ask yourself: What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual? Could I honor and love myself and not be afraid to have different values from others?
Could I remain open to discovering new ways of honoring myself every day — even when this is not popular with others in my life? Could I create enough space for myself and others to make this possible?
This alignment in Taurus also invites us to consider radical shifts in how we relate to the physical plane. Uranus in Taurus signals a period of deep questioning and challenging familiar norms. It asks us to get back to the basics and what truly matters.
Ask yourself: What has become stagnant? Where is there a call for more freedom? Do I have what I want? Do I want what I have? What needs to change? Am I ready to let go of outdated habits, especially around money or material possessions?
Can I allow myself to be “me” precisely as I am and exactly as I am not? Can I grant others the same? How much do I value freedom? How much am I willing to deviate from “traditional” values to experience more freedom?
This combo also invites us to slow down, simplify, and reflect on how we could create more beauty, pleasure, and ease in our lives. We may also want to reevaluate “Collective Happiness”. What does “Collective Happiness” look like to you? How might we support each other in experiencing more happiness on this planet?
The ruler of Taurus (Venus) is still conjunct the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio; we tend to be intensely loyal and need emotionally authentic connections with others. Trust also plays an important role: The more honest we can be with each other, the easier relating will be.
It also brings a heightened focus toward the depth of our psyche, facing our worst fears, or dealing with loss in some way — in particular, letting go of the “old”, to let in the “new”.
Ask yourself: If I remain attached to the “old” (perhaps through fear of letting go of it to meet the “new”), might this create some difficulties for me? On the other hand, if I choose to let go of the old, could it help me build inner strength? Am I ready for “the new”? Can I trust the process? The cycles of Life?
Am I noticing an obsessive quality in my thinking? Am I afraid of something terrible happening? Or maybe just “concerned”? How is trying to control what’s outside of me working for me? Have my fears or concerns ever felt empowering to myself or others? What might happen if I truly focused on empowering myself and others? What if I opened my heart 5% more? What if I surrendered 5% of my fears?
All of these questions could help us build inner strength and show us what “others” cannot take away from us — we could see at last that nothing outside of us can take away the power and resilience that lives inside us.
Mercury and the Sun in Scorpio make an almost exact opposition to Uranus and the Moon at 16/17° Taurus, suggesting that the key to loving and valuing ourselves currently lies in the realization that we are individual (in fact, unique) beings. As such, we need to allow ourselves some space from others, while also allowing and honoring our differences.
We are better off thinking outside the box for the next 43 days. We want to change a life situation (or intimate relationship) that is out of alignment with who we now want to be.
Our minds may feel overwhelmed by what all this means, especially as it relates to our intimate relationships or financial partnerships. Stay calm as best as you can: Sudden or rash decisions might backfire. Do your best to ground all your thinking, connect to your body, and allow yourself to receive any new insights in full.
We are very likely to feel quite nervous or anxious at this time as we become aware of what’s not working for us anymore — and the itch to move forward and realize a new vision feels very strong. It may well be true that something needs to change — but we must take care not to rush into anything.
If you get entangled in controversy, ask yourself: How open-minded and flexible could I allow myself to be right now? Might a different approach provide me with greater freedom or diversity (financially or otherwise)? How could being emotionally truthful with myself and others — despite any underlying fears — create a shift?
The Sun/Mercury/Venus alignment & the Moon/Uranus alignment all square Saturn in Aquarius. Saturn is the Focus Point of this T-Square; this stresses our social interactions, particularly when interacting with people who are connected to our commitments and long-term goals. Saturn reveals where rigid boundaries or rules block us from moving forward.
As always, T-Squares create some tension, but this T-Square is also an invitation to innovate and clarify our priorities. We may become anxious or stressed over a situation or interaction involving groups, communities, or networks.
Ask yourself: What might benefit from mature planning within my communities (online or in-person)? Could healthy boundaries lead to more heartfelt interactions with others?
Am I focusing too much on mental concepts, “social norms”, or political affiliations? What are my long-term commitments in connection to causes that might bring a better future? Am I feeling overwhelmed with too much social connection?
We may feel more cautious regarding relationships and our financial resources. This aspect signifies a process that demands profound adjustments and flexibility on our part, leading to greater maturity.
Ask yourself: How might slowing down and taking it one step at a time benefit me right now? How might a mature approach, with healthy boundaries, support my dealings with others?
If I were able to find creative solutions to my current frustrations, what might those be? What if I could express what’s in my heart while remaining “adult”?
The solution of a T-Square always lies within the “Empty Leg”, the point opposite the Focus Point of the T-Square; in this case, Leo.
As such, it will help us when we focus on our “inner child” energy and what makes us happy in the here and now; when we speak more truthfully and self-expressed from the heart, and when we focus on gratitude and joy. All these actions relieve the stresses of social interactions and commitments.
Ask yourself: To what long-term goals would my heart want to commit? What is realistic at this time? Is there some truth I could express that would inspire others to follow their authentic heart?
The modern ruler of Scorpio (Pluto) is still in Capricorn, and it also sextiles Neptune & Jupiter in Pisces:
Pluto in Capricorn is looking to transform anything toxic or disempowering when it comes to responsibility around social, governmental, and economic issues. This planetary position asks us to let go of old structures and systems that keep us disempowered — anything that keeps us from creating fully-functioning societies based on self-responsibility and self-mastery — especially self-mastery around our collective limitations.
The consequences of our choices and motivations also become more evident with this placement, making it more essential than ever to ask yourself: Am I choosing from love or fear?
Love expands and unifies; fear contracts and divides. Which am I experiencing more? Where might a 5% expansion of the heart lead me? Or a 5% greater unification of mind and soul?
On October 27th, Jupiter re-entered Pisces for the third time since May 2021, drawing our attention inward once again, where we can explore our connection with the invisible, energetic realms and gain a new perspective on the sacredness of all life.
Pluto’s Sextile to Neptune & Jupiter in Pisces invites us to surrender our fears about our position in the world and our achievements; we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration or intuition and open up and connect to what we are genuinely passionate about.
Ask yourself: How could my imagination support me in effortlessly reaching an empowered experience in society? How might trust in my intuitive self and life help me achieve my long-term goals? Could a different perspective on timing support me in achieving my long-term goals with more ease?
How could an open-hearted connection to myself and others support my ability to create transformation in the world? How might they help me stand in my power?
Mars (the traditional ruler of Scorpio) is now Retrograde in Gemini, still exalted untilNovember 13th. Mars has been in a long-lasting Square with Neptune for a while, and Jupiter now joins it.
We have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dreams; however, we tend to feel scattered. Should you observe that in yourself, try asking: What might happen if I slowed down and listened to my intuition, for just a moment, instead of aimlessly zooming ahead? What if I could inspire myself and others just 5% more? What would that look like to me?
With Jupiter in the mix, we seek excitement and spiritual growth; however, we might feel an inner restlessness that demands freedom and “space”. We may also have a tendency to overdo or over-exert — and our expectations of ourselves and others might be too high or not grounded in reality.
Ask yourself: What might open up if I expected 5% less of myself, just for today? What if I applied that to others too? Might my physical energy levels help me be realistic about how much I can expect of myself right now? Could I allow my mind to do what it thinks it needs to do without giving it any meaning or taking it too seriously?
Last but not least, we have a beautiful Trine between Venus (ruler of Taurus) and Neptune in Pisces: it will feel easier to bring compassion to our deepest feelings (including fears) and how we relate to others.
Our intuition and instincts are strongly supported here too. Trusting and opening up to others becomes easier; we give ourselves permission to receive love and emotional support. As best as you can, let all feelings flow.
Ask yourself: Where do I sense emotional blockages? What feels easy to be released at this time? How might a good dose of love and forgiveness support me with this? Could I perhaps tap into my heart energies 5% more to get a sense that “everything will turn out just as it needs to”? Could I give myself permission to be around people who support and inspire me — as much as possible?
To sum up: this Lunar Eclipse challenges us to rethink our interactions with others, use our power wisely, and remember we are all interconnected in this vast social experiment. Hating or disconnecting from other people is not going to change that!
This potent Full Moon also asks us to break away from anything keeping us from honoring our uniqueness and quirks — and from whatever has us in a rut, collectively and individually.
Shifts are happening everywhere. It’s time to develop some self-love and awareness. Ask yourself: Where do I want to have more certainty? Where do I want to break free?
How is my body recalibrating to break free from outdated habits that keep me in lower/denser vibrational states? Where would I most like to land if I allowed myself to make a giant leap? What might become possible if I surprised myself once a day for the next 43 days?
Our thinking may become obsessive over the next 43 days, but becoming controlling (or even paranoid) does not serve us — choose your battles wisely and seek to provide empowerment wherever possible. As best as you can, come from love, not fear! Give yourself permission to rest and heal.
Use the power of this Lunar Eclipse to get grounded in your physical and emotional body, break up any stagnation in your system or your relationships, and accelerate your transformation by immersing yourself in a deeper connection to all of life.
Here are a few final coaching questions for this Lunar Eclipse: How might taking things 5% less personally support my relationship with myself and others? How about being less attached to any specific outcome and more focused on abundance in general?
If letting go always brought more peace, what would I dare to release? If I knew that holding on kept me small, could I let go?
How could my breath support me in effortlessly releasing the “old” and allowing the “new” to flow in? If my breath gave my body the message that “all is well”, would I consider implementing “conscious breathing” more often?
What if I was able to grant myself 5% more freedom to connect with my inner strength, my fierce, open heart, and the passionate love for life that is pumping through my veins? What place of power would I stand in then?
Remember: When enough of us can recalibrate our energy levels to a higher frequency and authentically integrate all of who we are (the good, the bad, and the ugly), those who feed on the denser energies will either change or make space for new life to come through.
Ask yourself often: What if I were in human form at this time to assist with the birthing of a new and higher collective consciousness on Earth? What if I could do that without making anyone else wrong? What if we could achieve that one human at a time?
Please keep in mind that we are still in Eclipse seasonuntil November 23rd. So, as best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better — the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.
Stay grounded and flexible — and don’t jump the gun for the next three weeks — if you feel compelled to do something, do your best to observe the urge — unless it is connected to something that happens organically — if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off until Eclipse Season endson November 23rd.

The more an Eclipse activates our birth chart, the more we feel impelled to go to the next level. Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5º orb instead of 2º — so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 16 degrees of Taurus:
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-21 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. The same is true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons that take place approximately every 6 months — this is the second Solar Eclipse in 2022 (in this particular Eclipse cycle that will be in effect until July 2023). The first Solar Eclipse of 2022 took place in Taurus on April 30th.
Think back to early May and see what seeds got planted in your life in connection with the last Solar Eclipse. Did you set Solar Eclipse Intentions in early May? Did something end or begin at that time? What have you discovered about your sense of self-worth and value in the world?
Eclipses usually come in pairs (Solar and Lunar), and “Eclipse seasons” start approximately 10 days before the first Eclipse of the pair, and continue through the second.
While this Eclipse is partial and only visible from Europe, Western Siberia, Central, Western, & South Asia, and the NE of Africa, its transformative effects are global.
We also addressed Eclipse Season and the Solar Eclipse in Scorpio in more detail in a special talk called “The Next Phase of Your Evolution — How to Navigate Eclipse Season”. If you missed this Special Event ==> click here to get this fabulous 2-hour webinar
A couple of things to note for this Solar Eclipse chart: we have 4 Quincunxes; these invite us to make some inner adjustments to address internal discomfort. One of those four Quincunxes is inviting us to pay closer attention to our health — the Quincunx between Mars in Gemini and Pluto in Capricorn.
Pluto and Mars are also involved in two Squares, and Saturn is still in a tight Square with Uranus. Squares are 90º aspects that mark a turn we must take if we are to make progress; they ask us to stretch and grow beyond who we used to be.
Mars and Saturn are both exalted in this Solar Eclipse chart, due to their Station phases — Mars is preparing to go Retrograde (on Oct. 30th) and Saturn just ended its 4.5-month Retrograde phase (that began on June 4th).
And last but not least, Venus is closely aligned with the Solar Eclipse in Scorpio, bringing our desire for deeper connections to the fore.
These are the major themes of this Solar Eclipse chart and we will address them in more detail in a moment. First, let’s talk a bit about Eclipses:
During a Solar Eclipse, the Moon momentarily interrupts the normal flow of Solar Radiation, destabilizing existing configurations of energy, and reorganizing consciousness to a higher level. Solar Eclipses indicate the beginning of a new experience, project, or cycle.
This particular Eclipse season started on Oct. 15th, 10 days before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, and it will end 14 days after the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus that follows this Solar Eclipse (in other words, by Nov. 23rd, 2022).
While Eclipse season is underway, allow for new templates to download, stay centered, and do your best to ground from within — try using conscious breathing and conscious mental flexibility — and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body.
And remember, this won’t last forever: on Nov. 23rd, the downloads are complete 😉
Eclipses are times of uncertainty, Uranian in nature, so anything could happen between now and Nov. 23rd. It is important to remember that Eclipses open a door to the next level of our Soul’s evolution.
As best as you can, don’t jump the gun for the next 5.5 weeks — if you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception would be something that just happens organically, but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better to hold off until Eclipse Seasonends on Nov. 23rd.
Eclipses are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release and recalibration of some sort — “old” programs will get deleted and new ones downloaded — and with this Eclipse this will be in connection with old traumas, sexual/intimate relations, or emotionally authentic connections.
Solar Eclipses are a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to redefine or release over the next 6 months — we’ll dig into this in more detail towards the end of this article, when we talk about setting Solar Eclipse Intentions.
The Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse, alternating between North and South Node Eclipses, emphasizing the evolutionary upgrades that are available to us during such times.
This is the first South Node Solar Eclipse in Scorpio since the Moon Nodes moved into the Taurus-Scorpio polarity on January 18th, 2022. South Node Eclipses ask us to…

South Node Eclipses ask us to release or redefine energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. They highlight past issues that need our attention, so we can grow beyond our conditioning, individually and collectively.
With the South Node in Scorpio, we are looking to release past traumas, or anything that is keeping us stuck in the past because of fear, painful experiences, sexual or emotional obsessions, protective instincts, addictive or controlling behaviors, etc.
For the next six months, ask yourself: What if a journey through the valley of darkness ultimately led to the heights of my true power? How might surrender, trust in a higher power, and letting go of resentment and fear give me a better understanding of peace, authentic connection, and inner strength?
Scorpio is the second water sign of the zodiac, so it relates not only to the depths of our own psyche, but also to the ecstasies and traumas of relationships.
Scorpio is also the sign most associated with the dark: the taboo, the subconscious, the unknown. Our Shadow holds not only our fears, unresolved trauma, and less desirable qualities, but anything that has been repressed, including our: power, intuition, and other gifts.
Ask yourself: What am I gifted when I face my deepest fears? What if going deeper, towards what scares me the most, never led to an actual death of any kind, and always and only led to transformation?
Like I already mentioned briefly, Scorpio also deals with our Shadow issues. The “Shadow” is all the suppressed, denied, or undeveloped qualities of our personality. Unprocessed Shadow material pushes our buttons and makes us vulnerable to control and manipulation.
Suppression and denial, projection and blame keep us stuck; conscious awareness shows us the way out. Healing happens when we bring light to the dark, becoming conscious of what had been stored in the basement of our psyche.
Ask yourself: What benefits might I reap if I were to transmute my Shadow issues?
Noticing our own desires, fears, or sense of humor is important, because the Shadow also makes itself visible through those…
So, what Shadow issues need to be addressed over the next 6 months? Here are some questionsto help you reclaim your projections: Who really bothers me “out there” in the world? Who do I love to hate? What specifically bothers me about them?
Who do I admire and why? What scares me most about myself? What recurring, uncomfortable, or scary dreams (or daydreams) do I have? What do I love to joke about that feels a little “edgy”?
Now, let’s talk about some of the planetary aspects in this Solar Eclipse chart, starting with the chart rulers:
Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, will remain in Capricornuntil March 23rd, 2023; at which point, it will dip into freedom-loving, forward-thinkingAquarius for 2.5 months.
With the modern ruler of this Eclipse still in Capricorn, we may obsess about our long-term goals or economic status. As best as you can, channel all that serious, self-responsible Capricorn energy into something worthwhile, that helps manifest something sustainable, lasting, and emotionally empowering to us and future generations. To bring balance to the table, remember to be extra aware of Self-care.
The power always lies within ourselves and we can experience that power when we take responsibility for our own choices. And of course, with Pluto in Capricorn, what empowers us most is self-responsibility — for both our shadow and our light — and making sure that our “inner baby” feels safe and nurtured.
Ask yourself: What am I most scared about when it comes to my accomplishments? Am I experiencing a loss of control at this time?
Might surrendering my fears around long-term social or economic issues give me a sense of peace?
What if there was a higher power that would ultimately empower everyone who lives full-out from a place of self-responsibility, integration, and wholeheartedness?
Accidents, illness, and deep losses can be orchestrated by our higher self, guiding us to make a journey toward greater authenticity and empowerment.
Ask yourself: What would it take for me to trust my relationship with my higher Self? Could I surrender my personal will to that of my higher power? Can I notice that I am ok no matter what?
Mars (the traditional ruler of Scorpio) is exalted due to its station which lasts until Nov. 13th. Mars represents our assertiveness, independence, and “male” energy, as well as new initiatives, going after one’s goals, and physical actions.
Given that Mars is in Gemini right now, our minds may be quite active and run all over the place. We may also have impulsive, impatient, overly enthusiastic thoughts and conversations, unexpected outbursts of anger, or a tremendous desire to “move faster”, none of which will get us anywhere.
Instead, do your best to slow down, get present, and allow for it all to unfold, because one thing is for sure: you will make progress eventually — it’s just a matter of time, and timing is everything.
Ask yourself: If I were really honest with myself, is the timing “right”, right now? What needs to happen before I move forward with my cerebral projects, or act on my desire to communicate or learn something?
Pluto in Capricorn makes several aspects in this Solar Eclipse chart. It quincunxes Mars, squares Mercury, and sextiles Neptune. Let’s unpack all of that:
Pluto’s Quincunx to an exalted Mars in Gemini invites us to go deeper rather than faster. We are invited to empower ourselves & others by thinking long-term rather than zooming in multiple directions, trying to do everything at once. Trusting the process and our higher path is essential!
As best as you can, evaluate any projects before getting involved. One thing we can say for sure: an inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.
Ask yourself: Am I after superficial connections, exchanging information, and staying busy? Or transforming my relationship to my long-term goals and worldly achievements? Could I allow myself to feel into the mismatch of those two desires? To stay flexible and accepting in the face of non-alignment?
No matter what I engage in, could I drop any self-judgment? Could I even allow myself to dance with those mismatched energies?
Quincunxes can also represent health issues. In this case, Gemini is associated with the peripheral nervous system and lungs, our sense of being in movement, and the muscles and nerves in our shoulders, arms, and hands. If we are not able to stay flexible, curious, and open-minded, we may experience breathing issues, anxiety, or nervous digestion; we may also experience some shoulder/arms or lung issues.
Pluto’s Square to Mercury in Libra invites us to grow and make some changes in our lives, particularly in terms of our thinking processes. We are invited to be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.
Our mind might be obsessing over things that it has no control over. Choose love over fear whenever possible. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. As best as you can, choose your words carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place.
Ask yourself: What might happen if I focused 5% more on what I actually have control over? What roles do self-responsibility, realistic self-assessment, and healthy boundaries play in my ability to communicate fairly?
Pluto’s Sextile to Neptune in Pisces invites us to surrender our fears about our position in the world and our achievements; we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration or intuition. This is also an opportunity to open up and connect to what we are truly passionate about.
Ask yourself: Is it at least possible that combining imagination with trust in divine guidance would support my empowerment in society? What if directing kindness toward the world would bring peace into my life and my heart?
As best as you can, connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans — especially those you feel really passionate about.
Ask yourself: What might transpire if I granted 5% more compassion and acceptance to my inner and outer long-term processes? What could I manifest if I were present in the now-moment to all the energies inside and around me?
The exalted Mars in Gemini makes several aspects in this Solar Eclipse chart as well. It trines Mercury and squares Neptune:
Mars’ Trine to Mercury in Libra supports collaboration on an equal footing. We tend to be quick, perceptive, and brave. This Trine makes it easier for us to have lively conversations in which we speak our truth without coming across as too blunt or offensive.
Ask yourself: What would I like to communicate? And with Whom? What collaborative decisions need to be made? What mental activities would support me in channeling my restless mind-body-energy in a productive way?
Mars’ Square to Neptune in Pisces invites us to stretch ourselves to resolve a tension between the mental-cerebral activities we want to pursue and the emotional-intuitive sensitivities we feel. We also tend to feel mentally scattered or overwhelmed with this combo.
Should you observe that in yourself, try asking: What if, just for a moment, I slowed down and listened to my intuition instead of aimlessly zooming ahead? What stirs my imagination? What if I could inspire myself and others just 5% more? What would that look like?
Neptune also quincunxes Mercury in Libra; thiscould create some mental confusion and spaciness, or the need to communicate with others from an inspirational place (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that). Imagination and mind can run way ahead of what is actually feasible (and sensible).
Given this, for the next 6 months,ask yourself: What do I currently experience in my relationships that doesn’t seem to be a good fit with my ideals, dreams, or fantasies?
What calls out to be communicated in my relationships? Am I avoiding any such communications? Could I give myself some space, time, and love around all of this? What’s true for me? What might be possible for others? Where do those overlap? How might compassion be a great asset when connecting with others (for myself and others)?
Remember: The best way to deal with Quincunxes is not to keep looking for the exact solution, but for ways to feel ok when things are not an exact match — in other words, when something is uncomfortable, or not the exact fit. Awareness is key!
The Solar Eclipse/New Moonquincunxes Jupiter in Aries and aligns with Venus in Scorpio…
Venus’ alignment with the Solar Eclipse, allows our heart to go deeper emotionally and connect authentically with others. Deep inner transformational work on past trauma or painful experiences brings more confidence and possibility for true connections. The involvement of Venus also suggests a rebirth of the heart that will set us on a completely new path.
Ask yourself: Is it possible that seeking relationships that empower me, with people that share my values, might make my life better? Is it at least possible that a trusting, emotional connection with others might create more authentic and passionate engagement with life? What might this look like?
Venus rules Taurus and Libra. With the current North Node in Taurus, we are invited to take a look at the relationship we have with ourselves, our body, our talents — and at whether we value ourselves enough to ask for our worth, or are able to say “No” to something that is not in alignment with our values, or that doesn’t honor our body. This helps us to be more aware of how much we love ourselves and our physical experience on this planet.
Ask yourself: How might an emotionally authentic connection with others support me in having healthy self-esteem? How about vice versa? How might healthy self-esteem support me in having emotionally authentic connections with others?
Jupiter’s Quincunx to the Eclipse asks for an inner adjustment; we feel uneasy or awkward on an emotional level. Jupiter in Aries is bold, self-explorative, and adventurous, while the Sun and Moon in Scorpio are deeply private, secretive, and emotionally intense.
Ask yourself: Could I allow myself to forge deeper, more authentic connections with others? Could I trust this process? Could I also give myself permission to explore myself and my personal goals, in order to generate new perspectives on how I connect with my persona and identity? Would it be ok if both of these things felt a little uncomfortable?
The South Node in Scorpio quincunxes Chiron in Aries. This also creates some emotional discomfort. On the one hand, we have the urge to go deeper and release old fears or traumas; on the other hand, we are more aware of triggers and limitations. That said, we may not always be aware that those triggers and limitations are associated with old childhood wounds. Awareness is key!
As best as you can, be compassionate and understanding with yourself when feelings of anger come up (and even if shame follows expressions of that anger). Ask yourself: How might 5% more compassion support my relationship with myself and others?
Of course, Saturn is still in a Square aspect to Uranus. This has been the case since January 2021 and will still be the case until Dec. 11th, 2022. With this Eclipse chart, we are dealing with an exalted Saturn, due to its station phase that will last until Oct. 30th. Saturn represents our physical foundations, structures, limitations, boundaries, and karma (what you put in is what you get out).
Ask yourself: What does my body require before I can even think about connecting with others? What adjustment does my physical reality require before I can even think about what to create for the future? Where am I feeling “boxed in”? Where do I need to “think outside the box”?
Are other people’s choices and preferences really about me? In other words, do I need to take them personally? Would putting 5% more space around other people’s “choosing” help me honor what’s important to me?
To Sum it All Up for this Solar Eclipse: Being open to trusting the process and going with the flow are key! Most of our lives are shaped by fears: too much of something, not enough of something else… not being loved, not being liked, being judged, rejected, some form of loss, maybe even physical death, being the recipient of physical or emotional pain, etc.
Scorpio territory is not easy. Facing our deepest feelings and fears, confronting our demons and our relationship to death is the most difficult work we will ever do. But the rewards it brings — inner peace, freedom, and wholeness — make it all worth it.
This Eclipse in Scorpio invites us to let go of whatever is dead (or toxic). Often, this is connected to past disempowerment — fears based either on “what was”, or on a possible future in which we would not be ok — and all this can be scary and stir up the desire for control or to protect ourselves. The survival brain thinks that control brings power, certainty, stability… but it’s all an illusion based in fear.
Remember: “Fear” is resistance to life, whereas “Love” is acceptance of life in all its forms: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Ask yourself: As best as I can, could I acknowledge any self-resistance? Resistance toward others? To life itself? And, just for right now, could I simply let go of wanting to resist what is? Could I set all inner tension free… just as best as I can… just for right now… just as an experiment in freedom?
The key is to realize that “letting go” is not about loss, but about transformation — and, ultimately, about feeling empowered, since every ending is also a new beginning.
Eclipses are crossroads or turning points along our Soul’s Journey. They are often marked by events or situations that signify a critical shift in our lives, nudging us to either change and grow, or face greater difficulties at the next turning point.
In this case, the next turning point will be on Jan. 22nd, 2023 — when the Sun in Aquarius squares this month’s Solar Eclipse degree.
Solar Eclipses, in particular, often correspond to major endings and beginnings. They occur close to the same degree every 19 years, and the last time we had a New Moon in this particular degree and sign while the South Node was traveling through Scorpio was on Oct 25th, 2003.
Although this was not yet an Eclipse because the South Node was too far away from the New Moon, by degree, this particular New Moon certainly started Eclipse Season that year.
We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — “resonance”, not repetition — so think back to the Fall of 2003, and ask yourself: Were there any major endings and beginnings? What was important to me back then? If I were to take those priorities to the next level, where would that next level find me?
Again, flexibility and open-mindedness will definitely help for the next 5.5 weeks, while we are still in Eclipse Season. Embracing our humanity and practicing self-compassion, especially around our inner processes and limitations, provides an opportunity for great healing.

[/wcm_restrict] Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 0-7 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, or 28-29º of Libra, Aries, Cancer or Capricorn? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Setting Intentions for a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process — after all, we are setting them for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just the next 28 days.
Solar Eclipse Intentions are best done 48 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact. We are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse, and the energies are quite intense, so we want to wait until it all settles down a little before setting our intentions… We also definitely do not want to do this during a Moon void of course.
Thebest and most potent times to set your Intentions for this Solar Eclipse is between 6:55am (on Oct. 27th) and 6:49am (on Oct. 29th) — (in US Eastern Daylight Savings Time — i.e. the New York time zone).
Set powerful intentions — again, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the Scorpio energy!
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page and/or following me on Twitter, as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions 😉

On May 15/16th, at 12:14am EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun (in 25 degrees of Scorpio/Taurus).The entrance of the Moon into Scorpio (on May 14th) begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon. If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to watch my Lunar Eclipse video here
This powerful Full Moon is a Total Lunar Eclipse that can be viewed in the Central, Eastern, and European Times zones.The duration of totality lasts 85.5 minutes (= 1.5 hrs).This means that we will feel the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for 45 days.
This particular Lunar Eclipse is the second of two Eclipses within a two-week period; it offers an opportunity for a deeper, more authentic connection with ourselves and others. Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so keep in mind: Eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul’s path.
During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow, stimulating our emotional body and increasing our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears. If you’d like to learn more, and as a Member of my online community, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video.
As you might know from my last Solar Eclipse video, Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (both collectively and individually). The Moon Nodes remain in polarity for 18 months. They have been in Taurus-Scorpio since Jan. 18th, 2022, highlighting issues around emotional & physical stability, finance, and our relationship with our physical environment and natural resources.
The North Node in Taurus emphasizes the necessity of self-esteem and a healthy relationship with the physical world — with our bodies, resources, and the Earth. The South Node in Scorpio symbolizes our need to face our fears, heal old trauma, and own our power, so we can step into a more passionate relationship with life.
Eclipses reoccur in 19-year cycles. On May 15/16th, 2003, there was a Lunar Eclipse at 24º53’ Scorpio-Taurus, very close to the degree of this Eclipse. Ask yourself: What areas of my life needed to be addressed back then? Where am I being called to make major changes now?
All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads, symbolized by the signs involved, in this case: The Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus.
There are several aspects worth mentioning in this Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse chart: a T-Square with Saturn in Aquarius as the Focus point, Pluto (the ruler of Scorpio), Mars (the co-ruler of Scorpio), and Neptune, all make harmonious aspects to the Eclipse polarity, Venus (the ruler of Taurus) aligns with Chiron in Aries, Mercury and Pluto are in their Retrograde motions, Jupiter is in 0º of Aries, and last but not least, Uranus, again, plays a big role in this Eclipse chart — and we will address all of them in a moment.
I should also mention that we focused on both Eclipses, as they relate to our own individual birth charts, in our recent Forecasting Forum “Eclipse season & Pluto Station, April-May 2022”: click here for more info or to purchase this webinar — and feel free to re-listen to it, if you are already a Star Member — if you are at that Membership level, it was emailed to you on April 16th.
Since this Lunar Eclipse is almost a continuation of the last Lunar Eclipse in November of 2021, in 27º of Taurus-Scorpio, we can check to see how far we have come since then, when it comes to facing our fears and valuing ourselves and our authentic relationships to others. Ask yourself: What fears or inauthentic(or even toxic) relationships must I still release or transform if I am to step into greater abundance and happiness in my life?
For the next 45 days, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities and are aware that something needs to be brought into alignment; the balance in question is between our physical attachments, aversions, and connections — symbolized by Taurus— and our emotional attachments, aversions, and connections (Scorpio).
The time of the Lunar Eclipse brings greater awareness to what was unconscious or hidden previously. This particular one invites us to let go of fears or disempowering behaviors and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution, individually and collectively.
So, here’s this Eclipse’s central question: As a society, are we living in alignment with our values, with what makes us happy and satisfied? How about as individuals? Do we feel empowered and emotionally fulfilled? Are there any fears in our way to achieving progress? Or any rigid thought processes? All right, let’s look at the signs involved in this polarity,…

Taurus seeks comfort and material stability. It’s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general — and also with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely “self-esteem”.
Of course, Taurus also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures, immovability and wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don’t experience physical discomfort.
Scorpio, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing them into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or whatever has become stale or toxic. Put another way, it helps us move from a “survival mentality”, to a passionate engagement with life.
Ask yourself: Where in my own life do I observe a “survival mentality”? In what ways might I have protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?
It’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.
What is Scorpio’s shadow?
Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic), avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)… and anything we want to prevent: Scorpio’s shadow has us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.
Scorpio wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next 45 days, ask yourself: Where do my behaviors bring disempowerment to others or myself? Where do my behaviors simply bring pain? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?
Now, let’s talk about some of the aspects of this Lunar Eclipse chart, starting with the T-Square:
The Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse creates a T-Square with Saturn in Aquarius as the Focus Point. Squares usually offer an invitation to “stretch and grow” and do things differently.
Saturn in Aquarius asks us to take responsibility for our part in the collective, turn a critical eye to everything that we envision for our future, and adopt an objective, scientific approach. We are individually and collectively invited to clarify our thoughts. What are we manifesting currently with the thinking that is taking place individually? And how about collectively?
All of this invites us to slow down and reassess our commitments around intimate relationships — and become more aware of our need for space and a flexible approach to the body and our finances.
For the next 45 days, ask yourself: Where are my efforts best applied at this time? Considering where I am right now in my life, what commitments am I ready to make? Where do I need to be more focused and disciplined? Where do I want to be more “effort-less”? If I were going to set healthy boundaries right now, where would I set them?
Where have I been limiting myself? Wasting time? Energy? Resources? What if I slowed down in the moment and assessed what is appropriate for me? What if any attempt to rush this process would result in inappropriate boundaries, rigidity, anxiety, overwhelm? Would I slow down and reflect if that were so?
As best as you can, let your “inner adult” be mindful of what your body requires to be functioning at a “normal” pace, and what needs to be eliminated so you can feel fully empowered in financial or intimate relationships.
We are feeling a very strong pull to be responsible citizens of the world who build lasting social interactions and mutually-supportive sustainable communities. All this creates a lot of stress around our need to make progress (Saturn in Aquarius).
Since the solution always lies with the empty leg of a T-square,let’s take a look atLeo.
Leo is inviting us to focus on our own self-expression and joy — to balance any over-seriousness around our interactions with our ability to have fun and enjoy ourselves. Of course, this must take place within the boundaries of what is possible at any given time — a healthy, mature approach to this will be the best antidote to anxiety and overwhelm.
Ask yourself: What might open up if I placed 5% more focus on enjoyment, gratitude, and healthy self-expression? How could I connect with others and have some fun, while giving everyone space to be themselves?
If I focused on all of the above (i.e. healthy self-expression, joy, gratitude, etc.), how might that impact my experience of abundance and emotionally authentic connections?
Could I be 5% easier on myself and still take responsibility for how I show up (both in “the world” and within my various communities)? How much more progress might I make if I focused on gratitude first?
Uranus is in a wide conjunction/alignment with the Sun and North Node in Taurus, & opposing the Moon and the South Node in Scorpio, giving this second Eclipse also a flavor of unpredictability and a need for inventiveness and thinking outside the box when it comes to our interactions with others, our material resources, the physical world in general, and our values.
We might want to break away from whatever keeps us from honoring ourselves. It’s time to develop some awareness around what is genuinely our own values, versus those we may have adopted or inherited.
Ask yourself: What’s mine? What isn’t? What if it were ok to have a different outlook from others, even those we love? What about different values? Could I have some space around this rather than conflict? If I didn’t have to do things the way I’ve always done them up until now, could I choose to do them in a way that makes me happy now?
Pluto (ruler of Scorpio), still in Capricorn until 2023/24 trines the Sun & North Node in Taurus: This is a perfect opportunity to take a look at our long-term goals — and empower ourselves by being completely honest about where we are with them, and where our divine purpose wants to take us.
Ask yourself: What needs a closer look (and deep honesty with myself) when it comes to my long-term goals or achievements? In what area of my life do I still not feel fully empowered? What needs to be addressed and brought up into full consciousness in order to get to a place of emotional authenticity with myself and the world?
What scares me the most about this? What if I had the courage to do this in spite of all my fears or concerns? What would that look like? What would be the first small step towards my own empowerment in the world? What if I decided every day anew to say “No” to things that harm rather than heal?
Mars (the co-ruler of Scorpio) & Neptune in Pisces trine the Moon & South Node in Scorpio: this makes it easier for us to release “old” traumas from the past. A compassionate approach is key; and so is trusting the healing process and surrendering any fears based on things that are not in our control (e.g. anything we hear about on the news or that someone else said or did in the past).
Ask yourself: How might a compassionate heart help me surrender my fears in connection to past trauma or disempowerment? What has been in my awareness lately when it comes to such fears?
What actions could I take that would support my inner and outer processes around dissolving any walls I have built to keep myself protected or empowered? How might resting, trusting, and allowing benefit me over the next 45 days?
Venus (the ruler of Taurus) aligns with Chiron in Aries: This alignment reminds us of wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of “not being good enough as we are”. Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).
Ask yourself: If I looked at my own limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it possible that would bring healing to my relationship with my human persona — how I present myself to the world — and to my relationships with others?
Could I bring the gift of compassion, understanding, and forgiveness to my own insecurities or feelings of unworthiness, whenever it’s needed? Could I also gift that to others?
Jupiter is no longer in Pisces. Since the recent Solar Eclipse, Jupiter has moved into Aries, and it is now in 0º of this fiery sign — an exalted degree! Highly exalted, since it is also in Aries, the first cardinal sign of the zodiac, which deals with new beginnings and initiating our own path.
Mercury in Gemini & Pluto in Capricorn are both in their Retrograde motions at the time of the Eclipse: Since Pluto rules Scorpio, we are looking at a far more internal process, when it comes to letting go of anything that still disempowers us.
For the next 5 months, experiment with these questions: Just for today, could I choose to trust my own authority rather than giving my power away to authority figures out there in the world? Could I take 5% more responsibility for my own decisions and the choices that I make for myself long-term?
Mercury started its second Retrograde phase of the yearon May 10th. It will remain in retrograde motion until June 3rd. We are invited to go within and take a look at our own inner dialog and our thoughts or thinking processes.
Ask yourself: What am I learning about my inner dialog and my ability to process information at this time? What needs to be re-addressed that came up over the last two weeks in regards to neighbors, siblings, communications, or sharing of information?
Since Mercury sextiles Jupiteruntil May 23rd, we are getting an opportunity here to see the bigger picture, if we choose to.
To sum it all up for this Lunar Eclipse: This powerful Full Moon highlights the power of trauma and fear. The next 45 days challenge us to rethink our interactions with others, use our power wisely, and remember we are all interconnected.
Use the power of this Lunar Eclipse to get grounded in your physical and emotional body, break up any stagnation in your system or your relationships, and accelerate your transformation by immersing yourself in a deeper connection to all of life.
Ask yourself: Where am I holding on to addictions or obsessions that leave me feeling less happy in the end? How could my breath support me in effortlessly releasing the old and allowing the new to flow in? If my breath gave my body the message that “all is well”, would I consider implementing “conscious breathing” more often?
Infuse your daily routines with a heart-centered attitude that promotes health & healing; if you are able, go for walks in nature, take yoga classes, practice walking mediations, or dance and sing your way through the living room…
Remember, you don’t have to do anything the way you’ve always done it, you can choose to do it in whichever way makes you most happy…
It’s best for us to move forward slowly but surely, knowing all the while that our sense of balance must come from within, staying rooted in the inner knowing that all is well.
Ask yourself: Where have I tried to control something outside of myself? How might a realistic focus on myself and what I do have influence over, support my efforts at this time?
Remember: Eclipses bring a strong focus to endings and beginnings — they push us forward in our evolution and connect us more fully to our Soul’s Journey. As best as you can, trust that whatever is leaving or falling apart is making way for something better — the more open we are to change, the easier it will be to go to the next level.
Let me end this article with a quote from Ann Albers: “No matter what others in the world are doing, you can choose to live in a world of peace. No matter how many argue for lack, you can live in an abundant world. No matter whether or not others are choosing it, you can live in a world of kindness, care, compassion, and courtesy. Engage in practices that make you feel peaceful. If you want prosperity, start by focusing with appreciation on all that you do have. If you want love, start by loving and accepting yourself without judgment…”
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-29 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, or 0 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

On Jan. 18th, 2022, the Moon Nodes switched from Gemini/Sagittarius to Taurus/Scorpio; they will remain in those signs until July 17th, 2023! The last time the Moon Nodes were in these particular signs was back in April 2003 – December 2004.
The transiting Moon Nodes show us what our Soul’s Journey currently requires on the collective and personal levels — let’s take a closer look at what this means:
The goal of the collective Soul’s journey is to balance and integrate two apparently opposite energies: the honoring of the physical, material realm (symbolized by Taurus), and our ability to transform what was traumatic or disempowering with an open heart and use it as inner fuel, making it a strength, while learning about the cycles of life — endings and beginnings of all kinds (linked to Scorpio).
We will thus need to look closely at the balance between honoring our physical, material needs, versus our quest for emotional authenticity and empowering connections – and become more conscious about our Shadow issues and traumas from the past. The Scorpio urge to “go deeper” is essential for our ability to understand the darker parts of our psyche; in terms of balancing these energies, that same urge plays a crucial role in how we connect with others and share our gift and talents (Taurus).
For the next 18 months,ask yourself: How am I doing with owning previously denied or rejected parts of myself? What parts of myself still operate from survival strategies? Where am I still left feeling disempowered in my life?
To get a more personal interpretation, we also need to take a look at the House placement of that Taurus/Scorpio polarity in our own birth charts, as well as the ruling planets of those signs involved… We cover the houses in a webinar (I will include a link at the end of this article).
In Taurus, the North Node invites us to make an effort to…

In Taurus, the North Node invites us to make an effort to honor our own gifts and talents, and to honor and appreciate the physical realm: planet, body, the planet’s resources and our own (e.g. money) — and to look for ways to create beauty and abundance in our lives without destroying our planet and its resources, or our body and its gifts.
Personal growth will come easier if we work on a healthy sense of self-worth and things that make us happy on a physical level. We are also called to develop our talents and are helped to discover and manifest what we truly value and enjoy.
For the next 18 months,ask yourself: What is between me and feeling valued in the world? What if I was the only one of me there will ever be? What might my value be then?
You can also ask: What do I truly value? What deserves my attention, appreciation, and care? Which of my values stems from social conditioning? Which of them needs to change?
The ScorpioSouth Node insists that we rein in any tendency toward a “black & white” approach to life and/or to be too intense when it comes to connecting with others.
Scorpio ultimately teaches us that every ending is also a beginning — but the South Node in Scorpio could bring up trust issues, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances) — and anything we want to prevent. This could find us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place — in other words, from survival, rather than intuition and love-based spaciousness.
Ask yourself here: What am I invited to shed? Is there a cycle in my life that is ending? What might a new beginning look like?
We are also invited to release or redefine our relationship to trauma stemming from our past — and redefine our relationship to intimacy. Dealing with any fears consciously and honestly will ultimately empower us and set us free.
It comes down to this: Where am I attached to the “old” (perhaps through fear of letting go of it to meet the “new”)? Where might this create some difficulty? Might letting it go it help me build inner strength? Am I ready for “the new”? Can I trust the process? The cycles of Life?
Am I noticing an obsessive quality? Am I afraid of something bad happening? Or am I just concerned? If I’m trying to control what’s outside of me, how’s that working for me? What might happen if I focused on empowering myself and others? What if I opened my heart 5% more? What if I surrendered 5% of my fears every day?
With the North Node in Taurus, we are invited to remember that we are blessed with a miraculous birthday suit, and a beautiful, precious planet — if we feel unworthy or empty inside, material objects or accumulations can only serve as a substitute or distraction from the emptiness that comes from forgetting those facts.
Ask yourself: What do I spend my time, energy, and money on? If this reflected my relationship with myself, what might that mirror show me? Do I feel worthy? Do I value myself? How do I show my value?
Taurus teaches us about the power of beauty, and about things that make us happy on a physical level — again, we are called to develop our talents and sense of self-worth — and we are asked to focus on discovering and manifesting what we truly value and enjoy.
As always when Taurus and Scorpio are involved, we may take things a bit too personally, and perhaps get attached to what we want and how we want it. We may also get attached on an emotional level to people, pleasure, and things; in fact, we may not want to change anything.
Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio and Venus that of Taurus; their transits will impact us for the next 18 months.
Given that Pluto is currently in Capricorn, and moves closely with Venus until March, 2022, we can expect a greater emphasis on some very powerful issues that we are currently dealing with on a collective level — a sort of re-birthing of our economic and financial structures – which could in turn bring up feelings of being out-of-control. We may also experience grief, tremendous pressures to achieve or survive, or other intense feelings; the more we obsess, the more out-of-control we will feel.
The key is to focus on what matters most to us and on transforming denser energy patterns into lighter ones. We can accomplish that by making more of an effort to honor ourselves, our bodies, possessions, talents, material and financial resources, our planet and its resources — and anything we value and want to achieve longer-term.
On a more personal note, Pluto in Capricorn asks us to step into our own authority, and asks us not to give our power away to authority figures out there in the world (politicians, doctors, judges, police officers, parents, teachers, etc.). Instead we need to take responsibility for our own decisions and the choices that we make for ourselves long-term.
The consequences of our choices and motivations also become more obvious with this placement. It is therefore more important than ever to ask yourself: Am I choosing from love or fear?
Love expands, fear contracts. Love unifies, fear divides. What am I experiencing more of? And how could I experience a 5% expansion of the heart? 5% greater unification of mind and soul?
On both the personal and collective levels, observe in the moment what works (and what doesn’t), rather than holding on to any obsessive thoughts or traumatized feelings stemming from the past that no longer serve you.
Venus and Pluto can also be connected to our deep emotional bonds with others — and intimate relationships or partnerships can be a wonderful way for us to integrate what we are experiencing on an emotional level, allowing us to go deeper into some dark places without losing ourselves.
Connecting with others in a deep authentic way might be just what we need to create a shift in our valuing of ourselves, others and the planet.
The Moon Nodes are also connected to the Eclipse cycles; each of these cycles prompts us to evolve and provides an opportunity to progress to the next level of our Soul’s Journey — collectively and individually speaking.
The Lunar Eclipse in 27º of Taurus on Nov. 19th, 2021 started this new Eclipse cycle connected to the Taurus/Scorpio polarity. What began? What is ended in your life?
The next Eclipse (a North Node Solar Eclipse in Taurus) took place on April 30th, 2022; it was followed by a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpioon May 16th, 2022. There were more Eclipses in October & November of 2022, and there will be two more Lunar Eclipses in those signs on May 5th and October 28th, 2023 — please check my weekly Forecast or bi-monthly videos for more info on those.
[/wcm_restrict] Where is your Soul’s journey taking you until the end of 2023? How can you best align yourself with this collective Soul’s Journey in the Taurus-Scorpio polarity?

On November 19th, at 3:57am EST, the Moon opposes the Sun (in 27 degrees of Taurus/Scorpio). This powerful Full Moon is also a Lunar Eclipse. Every six months, the Sun, Moon, & Earth align precisely enough for Solar and Lunar Eclipses to occur, generally (though not always) in pairs of one Lunar and one Solar Eclipse.
This particular Lunar Eclipse is the first of two Eclipseswithin a two-week period; it offers an opportunity for a deeper, more authentic connection with ourselves and others.
Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (both collectively and individually). All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads, symbolized by the signs involved, in this case: The Moon is in steady, peaceful Taurus, while the Sun is in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio.
The more receptive we are to these transformative downloads, the more quickly and easily we can integrate them; time in nature, meditation, art, and spiritual endeavors support this integration process and help us better attune to these evolutionary upgrades.
Relationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, there is a particularly strong emphasis both on self-value and on intimate relationships. Full Moons also illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices.
We become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored — or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated, and explored — in regards to the Taurus energy.
It’s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree of Taurus. Think back to Nov. 19th, 2002: What did I need to integrate back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring my talents? What about my self-worth? Was I able to see my value? What about my relationship to money? To my physical reality? My Body? My ability to receive pleasure? To experience peace? Where do I need to take this to the next level?
We will also address the upcoming Eclipses in our next Forecasting Forum on Nov. 19th, the day of the Lunar Eclipse!Feel free to join us, if you would like to know how these powerful Lunations will impact you personally.
There is currently an Early Bird Special that is available until Nov. 16th! So feel free to take advantage of that, unless you are already a Star Member — you guys are automatically registered and will receive an email to join us live — it goes out the day before the live event, and the mp4-video recording is released within the 24 hours following the live event.
That’s it for announcements and logistics, back to the Full Moon…
Lots of planets are involved in this powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse chart — two T-Squares, both of them with the Focus Point in Aquarius, and the empty leg in Leo. The ruler of Taurus (Venus) and the ruler of Scorpio (Pluto) are both in Capricorn at the time of this Lunation, making this sign an important place to look for how this Eclipse plays out in our lives. More about the specifics in regards to all of this in a moment….
The Moon Nodes are usually in the same sign as an Eclipse, but there are exceptions — those times where the Moon Nodes have not yet moved into the new polarity, but the Full Moon (or New Moon) is within 15 degrees of the transiting Moon Nodes, and therefore close enough to the Lunation to create an Eclipse effect.
This Full Moon is the first Lunar Eclipse in the Taurus-Scorpio polarity, and therefore provides a preview of what we can expect when the Moon Nodes start their journey through Taurus/Scorpio –– a process which unfolds between Jan. 18th, 2022 and July 17th, 2023.
This constitutes a new collective Soul’s Journey, one that puts an emphasis on…

making more of an effort to honor ourselves, our bodies, our possessions, our talents, our finances, our planet and its resources — in short, anything we value.
We are also invited to release or redefine our relationship to trauma stemming from the past — and also to intimate relationships, death and rebirth, endings and beginnings — in other words, the cycle of life.
With Eclipses this is a longer-term process — in this case, one that will last until July 2023.
Let’s take a closer look at the polarities involved here: The Moon in steady, peaceful Taurus opposes the Sun inpassionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio.
Taurus spotlights our relationship to our physical body, what we value on the physical plane, and the planet we live on — while Scorpio highlights our relationship to emotional authenticity, intimacy/sexuality, empowerment/disempowerment, death/rebirth, endings/beginnings — Scorpio is asking us to recognize our deepest desires and truest motivations.
You can ask yourself with this Lunar Eclipse: What do I truly value? What deserves my attention, appreciation, and care? Which of my values stem from social conditioning? Which need to change?
At its best, Scorpio is associated with transformation, and our capacity to shed what may have served us in the past but now hinders our growth. We are indeed being asked to shed something in our life — a false belief, perhaps, or a “fake” identity or “way of being” — but it could also be a relationship, job, or something else more concrete.
The Sun’s passage through Scorpio is a time of transition, a time to go within to honor the realities of death and rebirth — the cycle of life, the most natural thing there is. The Sun started its passage through Scorpio on Oct. 23rd.
Ask yourself: How far have I come in regards to investigating or understanding my deepest desires? How am I doing with owning previously denied or rejected parts of myself? What parts of myself still operate on survival strategies? Where am I still left feeling disempowered in my life?
As our collective consciousness continues to awaken, what’s been in the shadows comes more and more to the forefront, so we can see it more clearly and deal with it on a conscious level. Lunar Eclipses allow us to see the Shadow aspects of each sign as well.
Scorpio ultimately teaches us that every ending is also a beginning — but the denser vibrations of Scorpio tend to bring up trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances) — and anything we want to prevent. We could find ourselves coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, from survival, rather than intuition and love-based spaciousness.
Ask yourself here: What am I invited to shed? Is there a cycle in my life that is ending? What might a new beginning look like?
The other pole in this balancing act is Taurus, which seeks a healthy relationship with the physical world; the Moon in Taurus calls us back to our senses. Taurus is often associated with money, but the sign is ultimately about our values, of which money is a subset.
We are invited to remember that we are blessed with a miraculous birthday suit, and a beautiful, precious planet — if we feel unworthy or empty inside, material objects or accumulations can only serve as a substitute or distraction from the emptiness that comes from forgetting those facts.
Ask yourself: What do I spend my time, energy, and money on? If this reflected my relationship with myself, what might that mirror show me? Do I feel worthy? Do I value myself? How do I show my value?
Do I seem to struggle with money (accumulating it, keeping it, making the most of it, etc.)? Does money fill an emotional void in my life? Do material objects do that? Or is money simply a tool or an energy exchange for me? How might a shift in perspective help resolve my relationship to money — and ultimately towards myself?
Taurus teaches us about the power of beauty, and about things that make us happy on a physical level — we are also called to develop our talents and sense of self-worth — and are helped to discover and manifest what we truly value and enjoy.
If we are to experience the highest vibration of Taurus, a healthy sense of self-worth is critical, so ask yourself: What matters most to me? What makes me happy, deep down? What is in the way of me honoring the physical plane? Of honoring my body? The planet? Physical beauty?
What is between me and feeling valued in the world? What if I was the only one of me there will ever be? What might my value be then?
In Taurus, we discover what we most require… and enjoy; in Scorpio, we explore what we most desire… and fear.
Let’s move to some of the aspects of this Lunar Eclipse chart:
The Sun in Scorpio aligns with Mercury. This alignment brings a heightened focus towards thinking about the depth of our psyche, facing our worst fears, or dealing with loss in some way — in particular, letting go of the “old”, to let in the “new”.
Ask yourself: If I remain attached to the “old” (perhaps through fear of letting go of it to meet the “new”), might this create some difficulties for me? If I choose to let go of the old, could it help me build inner strength? Am I ready for “the new”? Can I trust the process? The cycles of Life?
Am I noticing an obsessive quality in my thinking? Am I afraid of something bad happening? Or maybe I am just concerned? If I’m trying to control what’s outside of me, how’s that working for me? What might happen if I focused on empowering myself and others? What if I opened my heart 5% more? What if surrendered 5% of my fears?
Venus (the ruler of Taurus) and Pluto (the modern ruler of Scorpio) are currently both in Capricorn.
Venus will move through this sobering, practical sign until March 2022 — much longer than usual, due to her Retrograde phase in December/January.
This suggests that the key to loving and valuing ourselves currently lies in the realization that we need to see ourselves and others for who we are, and we are being asked to have realistic goals when it comes to our relationships, our talents and our money.
Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more real about what I have to offer? What are my limitations? Where is my starting point (A)? Where would I like to end up (B)? How can I realistically get from A to B? What steps do I need to take? Where might I place the first step? Are there obstacles? Where are they?
Also: Where would I set clear and healthy boundaries, if I were aiming to establish empowering, long-term business relationships?
Just a head’s up… We will also talk in more detail about the Venus Station phases and her Retrograde cycle in Capricorn on Dec. 17th (our last Forecasting Forum of the year!)
Venus makes an exact Trine to Uranus in Taurus at the time of the Lunar Eclipse.This helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual. We are ready to experiment — but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize.
Ask yourself: What do I picture when I imagine revolutionary business or social practices that support my values and make life tangibly more enjoyable for everyone who interacts with me? What might that teach me about my unique talents or value to the world? If I wanted to experience a breakthrough with my career or long-term goals, what might that look like?
Pluto in Capricorn is looking to transform anything toxic or disempowering when it comes to responsibility around social, governmental, and economic issues. We are asked to let go of old structures and systems that keep us disempowered — but really anything that keeps us from creating fully functioning social structures based in self-responsibility and self-mastery — especially self-mastery around our collective limitations.
On a more personal note, Pluto in Capricorn asks us to step into our own authority and asks us not to give our power away to authority figures out there in the world (politicians, doctors, judges, police officers, parents, teachers, etc.). Instead to take responsibility for our own decisions and choices that we make for ourselves long-term.
The consequences of our choices and motivations also become more obvious with this placement. It is therefore more important than ever to ask yourself: Am I choosing from love or fear?
Love expands, fear contracts. Love unifies, fear divides. What am I experiencing more of? And how could I experience a 5% expansion of the heart? 5% greater unification of mind and soul?
Mars (the traditional ruler of Scorpio) is currently in Scorpioand is part of a T-Square, involving Uranus in Taurus & Saturn in Aquarius. I talked about this T-Square in great detail in one of my webinars;.to purchase it, click here,or feel free to re-listen to it, if you are already a Star Member. If you are on that Membership level, it was emailed to you on Oct. 22nd.
There is a second T-Square in the Lunar Eclipse chart: The Sun/Mercury alignment & the Moon all square Jupiter in Aquarius, making Jupiter the Focus Point of this T-Square. This puts some stress on our social interactions with others, especially our expectations regarding them.
Ask yourself: What might benefit from a new perspective on my communities (online or in-person)? What attitude shift might lead to more heart-felt interactions with others?
Am I focusing too much on mental concepts, “social norms”, or political affiliations? What are my expectations in connection to causes connected to a better future? Am I feeling overwhelmed with too much social connecting out there in the world?
The solution of a T-Square always lies within the “Empty Leg”, the point located opposite the Focus Point of the T-Square; so in this case: Leo.
When we explore our inner child and what makes us happy, in the here and now… when we become more playful and self-expressed from the heart… when we focus on love and joy… all these bring relief from the stresses of social interactions and social expectations.
Ask yourself: What adventures would my heart want to explore? Where might humor bring relief? What could I express creatively that would inspire others to follow their authentic heart?
To sum it all up: this Lunar Eclipse challenges us to rethink our interactions with others, use our power wisely, and remember we are all interconnected and thus in this vast social experiment together. Hating on others or disconnecting from them is not going to change that!
Use the power of this Lunar Eclipse to get grounded in your physical and emotional body, break up any stagnation in your system or your relationships, and accelerate your transformation by immersing yourself in a deeper connection to all of life.
Here are a few final coaching questions for this Lunar Eclipse: If letting go always brought more peace, what would I dare to release? If I knew for certain that holding on kept me small, could I then simply let go, as best I could?
Where am I holding on to addictions or obsessions that leave me feeling less happy in the end? How could my breath support me in effortlessly releasing the “old” and allowing the “new” to flow in? If my breath gave my body the message that “all is well”, would I consider implementing “conscious breathing” more often?
Remember: When enough of us are able to keep our energy levels high, and authentically integrate all of who we are, those who rely on the denser energies will either change or leave…
Ask yourself often: What if I were in human form at this time to assist with the birthing of a new and higher collective consciousness on Earth?
Please keep in mind that we are still in Eclipse seasonuntil Jan. 2nd! So, as best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better — the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.
Stay both grounded and flexible — and don’t jump the gun for the next 6.5 weeks —if you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception would be something that just happens organically, but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better to hold off until Eclipse Season endson Jan 2nd.

Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5º orb instead of 2º… so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 27 degrees of Taurus:
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 22-29 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius, or 0-2 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
