The Taurus/Scorpio Eclipse Season of October/November 2022
On 25 October 2022, we will have a Lunar eclipse just shy of two degrees Scorpio. Two weeks later, we will have a solar eclipse on 8 November (US voting day) at 16 degrees of Taurus for the Moon and 16 degrees of Scorpio for the Sun. Venus and Mercury will be adding their loving communication from the Scorpionic realms, while Uranus makes its presence known in the Taurus realms while these two eclipses occur. If you have any planets from the early degrees to about 21 degrees of Scorpio, Aquarius Taurus, Leo you can expect some interesting experiences and issues to come to light. The eclipses will likely reveal the areas in life where you need to do some deep “house-cleaning” and where you need to release non-regenerative non-supportive people, situations, behaviors.
The fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius gives one a dogged determination, endurance, stubbornness and perseverance. These energies can be used to create and maintain non-emotionally regenerative patterns that keep us “stuck”. Eclipses offer a spot light on a specific part of our lives, providing a unique opportunity to identify and address the limiting habituating patterns. Values, personal relationships, communication, movement, feelings/emotions, being seen and shining out as your powerful, competent self are all up for a ruthless re-examination, review and purge of that which no longer serves you. It’s time to stop enduring and turn to thriving.
The intensity of the Taurus/Scorpio axis has to do with some of our most primal systems and focuses on dismissing, eliminating, rejecting that which doesn’t serve our highest good. What we eat falls into this category. Food can be healthy or it can be over-processed and devoid of the nutrients our bodies need. Those with planets in Taurus and Scorpio would be wise to eat as healthy as possible. Understanding that food is our fuel, if we take in good nourishment our bodies will operate at their highest ability and not get sick as often. How is your body operating? How is your mood? Are you sluggish, unable to mobilize your energies? How does your belly area feel most of the time? Do you get sick often? Do you value the meals you ingest? Do you try to make most of your own food or do you eat out a lot? There is no judgment here, simply an opportunity to provide yourself with quality food that honors and supports you. This can be a great time to do a fast or a cleanse, but please discuss with your health care provider to ensure you utilize an appropriate process for your individual system.
Please understand that a fast/cleanse/diet can be applied to other areas in our lives such as people (friends, family members, associates, colleagues), TV, news, social media, debt, hobbies, work. The point here is to step back and gain a larger perspective – not very easy to do. So much in life can make us feel reactive, like we don’t have a choice. This can become an existential crisis. If we can take a breath, step into a space of observation, you will gain a larger vantage point and likely ways out of your current predicaments. One option to reduce up to $20,000 of your student debt is available here. Will be interesting to see how Democracy is treated in the US on election day 8 November.
Wishing you grace with what gets presented to you during this eclipse season, Michael
