Lunar Eclipse in Taurus

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus

October 28 • 3:24pm CT • 5°09'

If you've been feeling the intensity in the air, heaviness and like you feel ~something~ but you're not sure what, you're not alone! There's a full moon lunar eclipse happening today along with some other big transits contributing to the "wait and see" energy. This full moon lunar eclipse will be the last eclipse of the year, and also the last eclipse in the Taurus/Scorpio nodal axis that began back in November 2021. So because of this, the eclipse will be closing out a couple of cycles, particularly in the area of life where you have Taurus-Scorpio. Keep in mind if you aren't where this eclipse is visible to treat it as a super potent full moon. Also note that a lunar eclipse like this has been building up for time, and the results of what is being revealed now will be felt for months (or even years) to come.

You can expect things to be revealed and illuminated over these next couple of days, and there might be some endings and closure on things as well. Always keep in mind though that when one chapter ends, another one is beginning. Eclipses tend to bring endings and beginnings, and they are definitely not something you want to resist. We are in a process of transformation, growth, and evolution, and this eclipse offers us an opportunity to release our unhealthy attachments, unhelpful stories about ourself related to our self worth, and leaving the past in the past (where it belongs!).

We are being asked to keep moving into the unknown, only looking back as a reference for how far we have come and how much we've grown. Lean into the discomfort and trust that what is leaving your life or is being illuminated is meant to gently nudge you back onto your path. Give yourself some grace during this time, know that it's okay if you need time to adjust to the changes taking place, just take things one step at a time, knowing that it will be worth it in the long run.

Listen to that fire inside, what is lighting you up? What is your intuition telling you? What makes you feel proud of yourself? These are sure signs that you are getting closer to your authentic self. Pay attention to any themes that are illuminated today as they are granting you the opportunity to close out a cycle.

With mercury conjunct mars in Scorpio opposing Jupiter in Taurus, this adds to the intensity this weekend. Thoughts and words might be moving quick and people might be saying things without thinking, biting with the scorpion sting. People will probably be feeling more bold as well, so be extra aware of your surroundings. Emotions will definitely be heightened this weekend so maybe save the "we need to talk" type of conversations for a later (less intense) day.

Things might feel like a bit overwhelming today, so do your favorite grounding techniques. Anything that utilizes the senses, lighting some incense, getting outside and touching grass, taking a salt bath, listening to music, dancing, laughing, crying, or do a cleansing and releasing ritual. It could also be beneficial to reflect back on how much you've grown in the area of life where you have Taurus-Scorpio over these last two years. Look back in old journals or pictures and take a moment to really bask in the gratitude for how much you've grown.

As always, sending you all the best energy,

Solar Eclipse in Libra

October 14 • 12:55pm CT • 21°07'

If you've been feeling like you're in a funk, like you've been stagnant or listless, or like you're not really sure of things or yourself right now. Or if you've been feeling like you're on the precipice of a breakthrough and that change is around the corner, but you're unsure of how, this is totally normal to feel these things around eclipses.

Eclipses are times of cosmic plot twists, where the plot seemingly thickens, and it can feel like sh*t is hitting the fan

• These turning points can be both on an individual level as well as on a larger societal level

  • Along with everything, we've been seeing unfold this past week, we can expect to see divisions be exposed, along with other circumstances that affect public tranquility.

  • Themes of social justice will become more prominent moving forward, and we can expect there to be more discussions surrounding these topics

• On an individual level, it might feel like you are accelerating down your path, rerouting or pivoting in a different direction, or in some cases, pumping the breaks and slowing you down entirely

  • It's always for your benefit though, even if it doesn't feel like that in the moment!

• Eclipses are harbingers of change, which is why things can feel so intense around eclipses

  • The unknown can be difficult to deal with, but if you just trust and lean into the energy, it will help things move more smoothly rather than trying to resist the inevitable

• It might be beneficial to reflect on what things are needed in order to bring more healing and a feeling of greater wholeness and balance to your life

  • And if there’s nothing that can be done about your current situation, how can you change your perspective that will help you to better cope with the situations or limitations you are currently dealing with?

• A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the Sun and earth, temporarily blocking out the suns light

  • It is only visible in parts of North and South America

  • So if you are in an area where it is NOT visible, treat it as a super strong and potent new moon

• Allow yourself to rest and take it easy this weekend

  • Do some cleaning, both physically and energetically, of your environment

  • Journal, meditate, do some grounding, create some art, cry, laugh (be sure to feel whatever you need to, and not suppress what wants to come up)
    

• You can expect a shift or some kind of change to happen in the area of life where you have Libra over these next several months

  • It's stripping the fluff away, the stuff that is no longer serving

• This is a time that might feel a little more fated, where might feel like we are forced to release things there are limiting us from making positive changes in our life

In Libra

• Libra is associated with balance, justice, harmony, mutuality within relationships, etc.

• We can expect this eclipse to really stir up all things that have to do with libra and bring a reflection of sorts, as the south node is associated with our past

  • While we will be releasing to bring in the new, it's also a beneficial time to reflect on what got you through tough times in the past. How can you still use those tools in a new and healthier way?

• The whole point of this solar eclipse is to restore balance in the area of life where you have 21° of Libra

  • Where are you doing too much? Where could you put your energy that would help restore balance?

• Not everything is what it seems sometimes with eclipse energy, so try not to make any major life decisions and wait for some of the intensity to dissipate a little bit

• P.S. ITS OKAY TO MANIFEST/SET INTENTIONS WITH THIS ENERGY IF YOU WANT

New Moon in Virgo

September 14 • 8:39pm CT • 21°58'

New moons signal new beginnings, where the seed is freshly planted into the ground, and with Mercury stationing direct tomorrow, who wouldn't love a new beginning? With so many planets still retrograde, we're still in a more reflective time, but getting prepared to move forward.

Virgo encourages us to prioritize our health (body, mind, & spirit), look at our daily routines and habits, our work life, and where we can be of service/help. This is a great time to start a new routine that supports your health in someway, switch up your daily routines, learn new skills, declutter and organize your life, start a new project, etc.

This new moon energy also brings with it a very healing energy, Virgo is the healer after all. Over these last few weeks of mercury retrograde, reflect on what has surfaced for you. Ask yourself how you can use these experiences to grow and improve your life moving forward. What new insights have you gained over these last few weeks?

With the new moon trine Uranus, we might get sudden insights or new opportunities making themselves known. We are being urged to step out of our usual comfort zones, into unfamiliar territory, where we are being introduced to new perspectives, open doors, and new possibilities. Be open to whatever pops up, as it could lead you down new and unexpected paths!

Virgo Energy:

• Structure

• Systems

• Smooth processing

• Perceptive

• Observant

• Healing!!!

  • Accepting what has surfaced

  • How can we use these experiences to grow and improve

  • What insights have you gained

• Go within, find your wisdom within

• Embrace the slowness before eclipse season

Trine Uranus:

• Awakenings

• New unexpected opportunities

• Shake ups

• Be open to whatever pops up, it could be things that you least expect

Opposite Neptune:

• Magical

• Intuition

• Lean into

What to do:

• Daily rituals

• Be helpful

• Do something that makes you feel useful

• Tidy up and clean

• Organize and declutter

• Plant herbs

• Nourish mind body spirit

• What do you desire day to day
