We are knee deep in eclipse season and the upcoming lunar eclipse in Taurus promises to be a wild card. Taurus is the sign of security and sensual pleasure. It rules resources like food and fuel as well as commodities and monetary systems. Throughout 2023, both Uranus and Jupiter have been activating this sign and now this eclipse will amplify all things Taurus. The Moon is exalted in Taurus and helps to bring about stability and security. This is important to note, because other aspects occurring under this eclipse will challenge these very matters. The most important thing to remember is to keep your thoughts positive because whatever frequency you send out is exactly what will become manifest! There are several lovely aspects like the moon conjunct Jupiter which creates a dreamy state full of sensual pleasures, but that very same Jupiter is in opposition to Mars and Mercury in the sign of Scorpio which could lead to fighting words, conflict and secrets unraveling. Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is moving towards a trine to both Uranus and Pluto as well as an opposition to Neptune. This creates volatile energy around love and money. Uranus brings about the unexpected, Pluto could lead to power struggles and monopolies and Neptune to illusions. There seems to be a lot going on in the world right now that could fit these descriptions. This is a chaotic time that doesn’t seem likely to pass quickly. Taurus and Scorpio are both fixed signs and can be considered stubborn. Unlike the last eclipse, which was in Libra, a sign devoted to compromise, this eclipse will have people sticking to and fighting for their convictions, leading to compromise and diplomacy being challenged. The best way to use these energies is to focus the intense powers of Jupiter, Mars and Mercury towards completing a goal or project that takes stamina, deep concentration and possibly even research. Allow the combination of the moon and Jupiter to help you to escape the reality of this realm and discover possibilities in other dimensions as solutions to current dilemmas. And remember, that whatever Venus has in store as she mixes with Uranus, Pluto and Neptune, she does this for the highest good, even if it doesn’t seem like it at the time. Stay connected to your higher self. The world will continue to swirl around us with events we have little control over. We get to choose what to focus on and what deserves our attention. Be choosey! Join the moon circle this Thursday, October 26th at 5pm, est. We will perform a ritual for manifestation that was shared by a member of the Santa Fe retreat. The circle is $22 and is available via zoom or in person in St. Augustine Beach. When registering, please let me know how you plan to attend.
