Hi all! I am in NYC doing readings and enjoying the springtime here with friends. If anyone out there in NY is interested in a reading (and in-person readings are best!) send me an email to: accomplice @ pantheonastrology.com (I spaced it out to hide from spam robots.)
This last Full Moon was a Lunar Eclipse in the intense and often brooding sign of Scorpio and was especially challenging with Saturn and mars, signs of austerity and severity, aligned with the Eclipse. It was a time for breakthroughs and regenerations of our identity and relationships but very often after a process of breakdown and crisis of some kind.
Scorpio is, in part, about letting go. Consider the sexual metaphor: A man and woman give up a part of their bodies in the sexual act to create new life. Taurus, on the other hand, is about the fertile earth that harbors new life to grow and flourish. The Scorpio Taurus axis is one of Sacrifice and Reception and the opposing but necessary poles of putridity and fertility.
Taurus is the sign of the fertility and wealth of the earth. The word Fecund is sometimes used which means "To make fruitful". Our fruits are relative to our labors and what we are working on, moment to moment and day to day will result in the flourishing of a particular fruit or outcome in our lives for good and for ill. Luckily we have astrology which shows us signs for sewing and reaping so our will can be in alignment with the will of nature. The sun's transit of the Aries and Taurus is a time for sewing, planting and initiating new projects and nurturing those seeds already planted. New moons are also times for initiation.
This new Moon Solar Eclipse will initiate new stories, events, problems and success within whatever house Taurus rules in our charts. There are no hard aspects to this Eclipse, so it will feel, in some ways, easier and lighter than the last one however it will still be significant and evoking crisis for those whose natal charts are in combative alignments with it. And it should also be noted that mars is still in his detriment in Taurus and, if making difficult aspects to your natal chart, you could find locking horns with someone who, perhaps like yourself, is rather stubborn and unwilling to move on an issue. This other could also be an issue and making headway can be challenging unless we have already a well worn path to move through.
Venus, who rules Taurus and thus the Eclipse, will be in the first degree of Gemini and Mercury, ruler of Gemini, will be conjunct the New Moon. So talking, communicating and looking at two sides of an issue will be a big part of the stories being told right now. If you nearly burned a bridge or two at the last Full Moon, this could be a time to repair things and heal old wounds with words and communications.
Taurus is great for stability, sensuality, enjoying the fruits of one's labors, working with or in nature but it can be stubborn, rigid, inflexible and slow to get moving -just like a bull. So keep that in mind as the virtues and vices of the sign can really come out during these eclipses.
Instead of writing horoscopes I am just alerting people to the general area of which the Eclipse will be effecting them. Perhaps I will write more horoscopic content when the readership is larger? These are for the RISING sign and not the sun sign. If you don't know your rising sign you can calculate it here: Cafe Astrology: Rising sign calculator.
As always, this is an exceedingly brief look at what is going on for each rising sign and does not take into account a variety of factors that signify other evens in your life that can mitigate, exaggerate and modify these themes.
This eclipse could be tense or especially prominent for those with planets or points (such as the ascendant) around 19 degrees of a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). This includes those With Ascendant aka Rising sign in one of those fixed signs regardless of degree.
