Happy Eclipse day!
A full-moon eclipse across Taurus/Scorpio takes place around 2.15pm today (AEDT). And while we won’t see the shadow crossing the moon from our sunny shores, I still urge you to pause and take a moment. Just sit and think about you, where you are, what your body feels like and how your life is going. Meditate (if that’s your thing). Take a walk, make a cup of tea or just find a sunny spot to tune into the universe.
Sounds woo-woo I know, but go with me - eclipse energy is big, and this one has some sharp edges that may be manifesting as challenges in your life. While us Westerners love to go-forth and blaze our own trails, it’s also important to feel, listen and respond to the energy around us. What is your heart, your sore knee, or your bank balance telling you? What isn’t working for you right now? What needs to be reset?
Today is the day to release and let go of the unhelpful habits and make room for an evolved version of ourselves. In Eastern Australia, we have the eclipse across our 2nd/8th houses, so it’s time to shift to working collaboratively with others in more intimate, truthful ways. Coming days may feel constrained and tight, but often we are at our most creative when boxed in or working with deadlines. Think laterally and stop head butting the bits of life that aren’t working - find new pathways forward instead.
Special mentions:
Scorpio (all of you, but especially those born Nov 14-21)
You have front row seats to this eclipse, so reread everything above and then REALLY think about what you need to let go of. Is it possible that you’re being too stubborn about something and it’s actually hindering your progress? It’s time to quietly shift your attitude, let go of grievances and try another tack. Partners can be a source of inspiration. Work as a team.
Taurus (all of you, but especially those born May 13-29)
The gun has fired, and this is the starting point for you to make some changes. Over the next fortnight you have to chance to revisit your mindset and opinion around certain topics. Be open to changing your opinion and actively try to get a fresh perspective. This will set the scene for bigger changes that will come as Uranus sweeps over your Sun in coming months. It’s exciting (if a little disruptive) but definitely the breath of fresh air that you need.
Aquarius (especially those born Feb 8-17)
Feeling grumpy or a bit depleted? Saturn is hovering and makes a difficult angle to today’s eclipse. Perhaps a deadline is looming, or doors are closing. There’s a sense of irritation and restriction that could be a downer. The flip side? This eclipse is testing your plans. If they still stand at the end of the week then this is the perfect time to rededicate yourself to them. You have the tenacity and focus needed to make great progress in coming weeks.
Virgo (especially those born Sep 15-22)
Hot foot it people! This eclipse is a lovely little zap of ‘can do’ that capitalises on recent progress. Don’t worry if you’re feeling a little stalled in recent days - it’s only temporary. Pluto and the nodes are really assisting you to push to your limits and see just what you can achieve. Write detailed lists for sure, but also try to think big picture.
Aries (all of you)
Jupiter has crossed into your sign and zips through over coming months. It’s a burst of positivity that gets you back on your feet and feeling more like yourself. Those of you born early April may have been reflecting over relationships recently, and it’s a great time to tackle issues with partners and share any recent insights.
