FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE IN TAURUS 28th October 2023

Securing Matter

Here comes the second eclipse in October - the last one in Taurus for a couple of years.
Taurus is Fixed Earth, concerned with receiving, preserving and holding matter. Matter can be all sorts of things: food, belongings, nature, the body… Material (Earth) security (Fixed) is a main topic for Taurus.

Lunar Eclipses often shine a glaring light on things so we can change. Therefore, this eclipse could bring up uncomfortable truths about material security for us. About preserving the body, receiving & accumulating material matter. This is also where for example finances come into play.

These past 2 weeks, I have seen a lot of people working through intense money stuff (including myself). Feelings around our livelihood being threatened. And the need to protect or preserve our main material security -money - which is still pretty important in this world. We might not like it, and even the realization that we are still tied to old money systems with nothing new in sight could be that uncomfortable truth. Money is part of this reality. This eclipse is a Full Moon so you might experience it even more emotionally than the previous one.

Other uncomfortable truths you might be facing could be regarding your body. Food. Anything physical in your life. To get an even deeper understanding, look where 5° Taurus falls in your birth chart.

And because Eclipses are not exactly subtle, whatever is rattling our lives right now regarding material securities feels pretty intense. But it has to come in with the surprise effect and such intensity because we did not pay attention to the little signs before. So the universe, wanting our best, pulls a wild card to get us on the right trajectory. It's not always challenging news though: if you are on a pretty good path already, chances are this eclipse will only bring you even MORE positive confirmation of this. Either way, there is no going back to the good old days, the old trajectory. Only moving forward.

Keep in mind to look at the opposite sign as well for this Eclipse, which is Scorpio. It's always good to look at the opposite sign & house of where the eclipse is happening. Scorpio is fixed water, which means keeping emotions within and dealing with them privately. Try to remember this when meeting other humans at the moment. They might look fine on the outside, while utterly falling apart inside.

On a collective level, we could experience surprises or news about our bodily autonomy. Things we thought were still far away might be in our faces earlier than expected. We are finishing up the Taurus-Scorpio Eclipse Set that started in November 2021. So look at what happened on a global level from the end of 2021 until now.

Also, reflect on what happened in your own personal life regarding Taurus & Scorpio themes these past 2 years. Can you spot a pattern that you worked through that has to do with material and emotional security?

 Happy eclipsing.

PLUTO SQUARE THE LUNAR NODES & hybrid eclipse in Aries 20th April 2023

𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘥𝘴 ⁣

There has been much talk about this 2nd Aries new moon and hybrid eclipse that happened today. But I want to talk more about the bigger picture tapestry upon which this is happening. Pluto has been squaring the lunar nodes since the 23rd of March and will continue to put pressure on the path of evolution for humanity until December this year. ⁣

Death and transformation are Pluto territory, and I remember saying at the beginning of the year that this year will be a Plutonian year. This would explain why lots of people I know and I myself have been going through transformation, grief & death processes lately. Some are grieving with seemingly no cause, some are grieving due to very physical causes. Either going through identity deaths or real deaths in our families and social network. Our own little worlds are falling apart while the world in general is doing so simultaneously. But Pluto will also help us get back into our power if we let go of what was.⁣

The Lunar nodes in astrology describe the emotional lessons that need to be learned: they show the evolutionary path towards an unknown territory and what old comfort zone we need to leave behind. We are at the crossroads, deciding where our next steps in transformation will take us: Do we take the path towards the North Node in Taurus or do we go back to the South Node in Scorpio?⁣

The Taurus North Node invites us to create a sense of stability within ourselves and our environment. By coming more into our bodies, connecting with nature, and letting her help us regulate our nervous system. Taurus means practical grounded wisdom and rolling up our sleeves to get to work. Like a bull plowing through and doing what needs to be done. ⁣

By leaving behind the Scorpio South Node, we can finally move away from the emotional intensity and drama, the grudges, and the resentment that might have been building up since December 2021. Instead of seeing the enemy around every corner we can drop the conspiracy glasses and get to work on building a new future. Now that we found out how corrupt this world is, let’s change it! ⁣

This is the last opportunity to really dial in that particular lesson before the nodes switch signs in July. ⁣

With the Aries new moon & eclipse adding fuel to this constellation, we humans can now find out who we are. What does it mean to be a human of Earth? We’ll hopefully discover and protect the vision we stand for. No more following any arbitrary rules but questioning and challenging authorities, exploring what else is possible, and marching to our own drum. It’s truly initiation time for humanity 2.0. ⁣
