Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse falls on Election Day!

On November 8th, 2022 we have a powerful light show. There is a Full Lunar Eclipse beginning two minutes before the Full Moon arrives at the exact opposite sign and degree as the Sun, at 3:02 AM PST. The Eclipse will be visible from North America, and begins at 3 AM PST, and should culminate around 6 AM. The Moon is at 16 degrees Taurus 1 minute, and the Sun is stationed at 16 degrees Scorpio 1 minute.

As we remember what we were wishing to create when the Moon was New in Taurus, back on April 30th of this year, we had the first Eclipse of the Sun in Taurus. We were being asked by the energies to look at our morals and standards, our finances and possessions, and to move towards our objectives with strength; fearless. Now, 6 months later, what has become of those? Has fear been allowed to stop you in your tracks, or have you slow but surely moved toward your goals? Now with the Sun in Scorpio, the issue of our values becomes very clear. Do we share them or bury them?

There has been so much spoken and written about the Elections of November 8th, good and bad, and here we have a Full Moon Eclipse happening on the very day! What a set up.

The Sun and Moon are joined by many planets to strengthen the power behind this opposition. The Sun in Scorpio is a powerful sign, very mysterious and deep, and somewhat taboo. Scorpio rules desire in the old school of astrology, and with desire come all the consequences. It can be a sign of extremes, when unbalanced, and great power and depth when balanced. It is a Fixed Water Sign, committed in its emotional responses. The waters run deep in Scorpio and can dredge up old wounds and issues to the surface to be dealt with. The Sun is joined by Mercury and Venus in Scorpio. Mercury in this sign, ruling the mind and communications, can affect one to tend to see things from their perspective only and to be rather subjective. Venus adds a strong attachment and at times possessiveness to loved ones. Watch out for jealousy and bad behavior if this is the case.

Opposite these is the Moon in Taurus, with an exact conjunction to Uranus in Taurus. The Moon in this sign is even tempered and peace loving, not easily ruffled and rarely given to emotional displays. Though gentle and not easily provoked, this Moon is tremendously stubborn and will resist any change which requires an emotional adjustment, such as changes in your home life or marriage. This Fixed Earth Sign seeks security and loyalty in love, and is extremely devoted to family and friends, providing a warm, nurturing atmosphere for them. With the planet Uranus joining the Moon we will crave emotional excitement and freedom, which the roller coaster ride of Election Day should provide. The Scorpio/Taurus axis asks us all how we feel about our present circumstances, and are we willing to do the work to fix what needs fixing? With these extreme energies the safest way to go is to dig deep for our truths and act on them. Not in a disruptive way, but a pledge to do the right thing.

Add to this a T-Square between this collective opposition and Saturn in Aquarius. Saturn in this sign is distrustful of groups and has a cynical attitude toward society. You can feel like you must do something or be something other than what you are in order to receive approval and acceptance from others. You’ll be very sensitive to criticism and easily feel left out or neglected, and though you may appear cool or distant, you actually care very much about being included. Self doubt can plague you now. Allow this energy to balance out these extreme feelings, as Aquarius is a Fixed Air Sign. It gives us the opportunity to step back and see things from a detached point of view. It takes us through to a new understanding of what is taking place. So, with the heavy emotions that come with the Full Moon, dial it back to a more inspired willingness to see things as they are and not look to blame others for our disappointments.

Our intuition will be wide open with this event. If you have the opportunity to be awake, or, to review and do a ceremony the night before when the Moon is full and bright, you won’t be sorry. The veil will be so thin we can access the most profound insights and connect heart to heart with ALL THAT IS. In fact, doing this the night before the election will set the tone for a very powerful Full Moon Eclipse as you sleep. Step into your new feelings as you awaken, using these powerful planets and luminaries to help clear the path for transformation.

New Moon in Scorpio 2022

We have a New Moon on October 25th at 3:48 AM PDT, as the Sun and Moon share the 2nd degree of Scorpio. There is also a partial Solar Eclipse at 4 AM PDT. We are being showered with this Fixed Water sign in a powerful way!

Scorpio lands in the middle of Autumn, and being the second month of this season it is solid, strong in its judgements, determined and stubborn. This Fixed sign shares a need for respect, and when Scorpio‘s don‘t receive it, they disappear, as if magically. They never forget, and at times never forgive. It is a Water sign, very sensitive and at times suspicious. It can be difficult to reason with this energy, so powerful and touchy. And no one protects like a Scorpio, when cornered. They have a sting you will likely not forget.

The planet Pluto rules this sign. Pluto is the transformer, reformer, the Phoenix. Scorpio‘s can crash and burn and rise out their own ashes, better for it. Scorpio‘s tend to learn the hard way, hanging on desperately in order not to be left vulnerable. They can tend to be loners rather than suffer because of others. The symbol for Scorpio is the scorpion with its mighty stinger. It represents the lower nature of this sign. The higher version is the eagle, flying high and seeing things from that perspective.

This year the Sun and Moon share the 2nd degree of Scorpio with the planet Venus. When Venus is in this sign we desire a deep, intense, passionate union with those we love, and can feel quite attached emotionally. This can inspire possessiveness and jealousy when any threat to this connection takes place. If you are betrayed, you are capable of hating with as much force and intensity as you once loved. At this time you are attracted to people who have an aura of mystery about them.

Also in this stellium is Mercury at 22 degrees

Libra, making this another conjunction. You’ll tend to see things from your perspective only and to be rather subjective. Idle talk and gossip can be your vices.

All and all, we are prone to emotional extremes with this event. They will come from deep inside of us, screaming in the darkness. It is time for transformation, to let go of limitation and fear. This sign is fearless, willing to go to extremes in order to settle the score. Or, you can use this energy to go deep within and connect with Spirit in order to transform. Venus conjunct the sun shows others your kindness, friendship and affection. It also imbues us with an artistic feeling that lends itself to us embellishing our surroundings and ourselves. With Venus conjunct the Moon, unkindness or harshness will offend you very much, so you will be conscious of everyone's feelings. Go deep.

Pluto in Capricorn at 26 degrees squares the Sun, Moon Mercury and Venus. This intensifies the need for evolution and change. With all of this energy in Scorpio, and Mercury in Libra (balance), we are being pushed into our higher nature. Where we are willful or fanaticle we will try to hide our motives and look for excuses. Our intense desires and feelings can bring on stormy and painful interactions. Jealousy, power struggles, or over-possessiveness can become areas of conflict in your relationships. Positively, you can be unusually creative and bring about beneficial and healing changes in the lives of others, motivated by your deeply felt love. It’s a choice, how we use this energy.

Knowing that the New Moon is a starting point for what we are giving birth to, creating, the perfect use of this energy is to reach deep into our subconscious for clues to where we still store FEAR. Scorpio rules sexuality, all things occult, death and transformation. Our thinking mind with Mercury in Libra wants justice, stability and equality. Scorpio wants power, but the surest way to find it is to work on ourselves in ways that unlimit our perceptions of life that keep us stuck. Be it our sexuality, we need to look beyond the illusion and find our heart and where it has been wounded. Does it keep us from loving as deeply as we would like to, need to? If it’s the mysteries of life, what a perfect time to study, investigate and learn about all the hidden aspects of life. And, if the fear of death, dying and what comes next; there is the greatest question of all. All the answers lie deep within us, as we find death is just a doorway to somewhere else.

So take the time to dive deep within on this occasion. With a New Moon and partial Solar Eclipse, we have THE POWER to transform. Ask for help from Spirit who is always close by, whispering wisdom into our minds to help us on our way. Set your goals and live up to them! You will be proud and ready for more movement forward.

Full Moon in Aries 2022

On October 9th at 1:55 PM PDT the Sun and Moon oppose each other exactly at 16 degrees 33 minutes. The Sun in the sign of Libra and the Moon in Aries marks this Full Moon. As with all Full Moons, it is potentially the pinnacle of all things set into motion on the New Moon. The New Moon in Aries occurred minutes before April Fools Day, 2022, roughly 6 months prior.

During that time we were focused on our own power, the power of one. We were discovering whether or not we’ve accessed our personal power and how we wanted to proceed on our own behalf. Now, months later we see what our hopes and dreams have brought us. At that time the Sun and Moon in Aries gave us full fiery power to dream big; now with the Sun in Libra we are finding out if our goals were balanced or not.

This Full Moon in Aries has many facets to observe. First, let’s review. Aries is a Cardinal Fire Sign, as it begins the new Solar Year. The Fire element is quick, alert and responds immediately to input. You could say it jumps the gun, it is very reactive. It lends a force to be reckoned with. But, the Sun in Libra wants harmony, beauty and grace. It gives us a pause, directs us to reconsider and use our compassionate nature. So Aries, through this lens is subdued to a point; encouraged to contemplate solutions rather than act out.

This year the planet Venus, stationed at 13 degrees Libra, also opposes the Full Moon. This aspect can give you conflicting emotional desires and needs which can complicate your personal life. Don’t get lost in feelings that you cannot depend on your love partners to take care of you, as this one inspires that “oh whoa is me” attitude. You’ll know you’re there if you are seeking comfort like overeating or using. Rather, use the fire of the Full Moon to cut through the illusions we’ve set up for ourselves.

There’s a sextile from the planet Saturn at 18 degrees Aquarius that lightens the load. It helps us to keep perspective and objectivity about highly charged emotional issues, sometimes to the chagrin of others who might wish that you would react more intensely.

So back to square one. The Aries/Libra axis. Two very different energies, ruled by Mars and Venus. With all that is going on in our lives and our world, how do we balance these energies? I suggest you consider taking out a journal, or your computer and doing some writing. Begin with Aries, and list honestly all the personal goals you’ve registered in your mind to strive for. Go one by one until you run out of ideas.

Now, follow each one up with how you’ve done, accomplished, released, or still holding. Now, once that is complete look at Libra. List honestly all the goals you’ve set for yourself and others to accomplish together. One by one recollect every intention you’ve set that would enhance you and the group(s) that you belong to, from family to friends to teams, on and on.

Then follow up with the same. Do this in order to flush out any old, outworn objectives as well as reignite those waiting in the wings.

It is good to admit to ourselves where we still haven’t met our highest potential while celebrating our accomplishments no matter how small. This is a ritual meant to clear out the cobwebs in our mind and direct our attention in a fresh way. These two signs are about me and we, a topic we will have to contend with our whole lives. In order to do our best, periodically we need to clear out the files;)
