Scorpio season is here and the solar power of introspection and transformation compels us to confront our shadows. Increasing the magnitude of cosmic energy is the Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus, the last eclipse of 2023 and the Taurus/Scorpio cycle.
As the light of the Full Moon dims a dusky red, emotional awareness grows and pauses, we’ve been here before and now are ready to make another evolutionary shift. Issues regarding security, stability, resources and relationships continue as well as fears around change and feeling stuck. However, we have reached a cosmic crossroad where purging old and limiting karmic stories and stormy perspectives is necessary.
Ruled by Venus in Virgo, love and the desire for connection and beauty emerges with discernment and a critical eye, intent on honestly seeing what is and making improvements.
Bringing an abundance of optimism to this eclipse is Jupiter in Taurus sitting close and conjunct the Moon. Amplifying the emotional intensity of the lunar phase, be aware that over reaction is possible. However, Jupiter’s expansive energy also increases our desire and the potential to realize greater physical comfort, material prosperity and spiritual fulfilment.
Mercury and Mars both in Scorpio and close to the Sun activate conversations with courage and honesty that at times require setting healthy boundaries. Steady yourself and think before you speak, especially if navigating emotionally charged issues. Trust that in holding space for others and calmly sharing your feelings, greater understanding and healing is possible.
Additionally, with the out of sign square with Pluto in Capricorn, power struggles can still occur and the need for release and healing compels us to face some hard truths with honestly and integrity.
Saturn in Pisces sextile the Moon supports time for solitude but also serious conversation where honesty and compassion serves everyone. It’s important to note, the nodal axis now in the Aries/Libra position adds an edge of karmic energy to this Moon with additional focus on individual and relationship needs.
Eclipses are super charged New and Full Moons and always usher in changes that may not be expected or understood. However, these changes are the Universe stepping in, re-aligning aspects of our lives and moving us forward. It’s vital that we get out of our own way and trust the inner and outer shifts that occur.
Now, as we close out the Taurus/Scorpio Eclipse cycle that began November 19, 2021, think back to that time, to the concerns and emotions that were prominent and review the journey of profound changes that have brought you to this point in your life.
Working with this Full Moon Eclipse connect with the calming beauty of nature and listen to the needs of your body. Take heart that your best intentions are to slow down, ground your energy and pay attention. Make note of what shifts occur within you and beyond. How they affect your relationships, circumstances and life and in quiet moments of reflection, how you can best work with them for continued stability, peace, happiness, and wellbeing.
