October 28th / 29th: Taurus Full Moon – Partial Lunar Eclipse!

This gorgeous, generous mood has spicy undertones!

We’ve a Taurus Full Moon – and Lunar Eclipse upon us! The Sun, Mercury and Mars appear in Scorpio, so there could be a strong pull to get into the deeper and more probing conversations (perhaps with a sense of urgency).

Communication (and making a statement) could be compelling but there’s an astrological pull away from talking it over.

Chatterbox Mercury side-by-side with Mars (and the Sun) is opposite larger-than life Jupiter. The Moon is with Jupiter, signalling a generous mood, and Uranus is co-present with them both.

Note a see-saw: Sun, Mercury and Mars in maroon, and Scorpio, across from Moon, Jupiter and Uranus in the bigger green hoop.

There could be excitement, Juliane, reason to celebrate changes that have occurred – and those around the corner…

Uranus and Ceres are aspecting Venus. I go into this more in the audio, as Ceres (or Demeter) is or was the mother of Persephone in ancient myth. A lot of feminine pulls appear in the chart: Moon trine Juno, Ceres and Venus, Vesta. All are singing in tune.

The Full Moon relates to the New Moon of April 2022, when we had a Partial Solar Eclipse.

Aries

Money, your financial position or the role you uphold could be topical now Aries!

The Eclipse lands in your practical, resourceful house of material asset and self-worth… Make generous room for awareness around what you do, have and contribute.

As the Sun, communicator Mercury and your ruler Mars assemble in your house of joint affairs and fiscal commitments, this isn’t guaranteed to be easy!

Your investments stand out, be it your energy, resources or a promise made to come together to share. Private obligations are key, facing your fears, obligations and vulnerabilities.

Congratulate yourself on awakening to your purpose, priorities and values, particularly making a living. But appreciate what can be accomplished with the input or corroboration of a partner, too.

Taurus

Illuminate your character and your very best qualities, Taurus, including your physical body, purpose or presence! Hold your own!

The Eclipse lands in your sign, so you can tune in to a big journey you’re on, and progress made over time. Sweeping changes may have occurred, be self-aware and awake to who you really are at an authentic level.

The Sun, Mercury and Mars bring you into partnership with others, people on your horizon may seem captivating and magnetic!

Appreciate how you come together be aware of a significant other, conversing with special people before you. You could be thoroughly involved in intimate relationships, however it’s your own identity that stands out now, and what you’ve created or bought into being.

Bring attention to your children, artistic talents, personal projects, to your creativity or a plan that’s taking shape. There’s something important only you’ve been able to manage, do or hold space for.

Gemini

Power down Gemini! The Eclipse lands in your silent twelfth house of healing, mysteries and hidden agendas. There may be cause for celebration around unseen work you do, a job that’s selfless or your own fantasies.

This is the blind spot of your horoscope, so realizations may crop up pertaining to well buried matter looking to be exhumed, or habits that are ready to be let go of and surrendered.

As the Sun, your ruler Mercury and Mars assemble in your sector of work, health and daily duties, you may be engrossed in a job, admin or maintenance. The systems that keep you in check, regimes and your employment may be deeply motivating.

However, you’ll want to illuminate projects behind closed doors, as well as wellness rituals that are more obvious, conscious and apparent. Take time in peace and solitude, willing to relinquish control over outcomes.

Cancer

The Eclipse lands in your community house, the friendly zone of social dynamics, teamwork, common hopes and dreams for humanity!

Acknowledge your peers and industry mates, bringing a sense of fruition around those you know and people in your network. A niche group may stand out, allies and acquaintances, the status quo and who you know!

As the Sun, communicator Mercury and Mars assemble in your house of talents, recreation, personal happiness and creative expression, you might also be engaged in your own projects, or with your children.

Illuminate your circle, social scene, and the way you come together in something much bigger than just yourself. Sense togetherness, a gathering or broader agenda. But know what and who you love matters too.

Leo

Your public image, title and the impression you make could be prominent now Leo! The Eclipse lands in your house of public ambition, achievements and outward appearances, bringing a generous signature to your vocation, direction or delivering visibility at large. You may have a claim to fame!

As the Sun, communicator Mercury and Mars now sink to the bottom of your horoscope, you could be tapped into domesticated life, family or home too. A property or parenting issue could be on your mind, with a focus on security, safety, and stability.

Try to balance household matters, your base and the issue of caretaking with the side of you that others see! Your reputation, profession or accomplishments may hold a great draw, yet so does a more hidden, private interest.

Virgo

Illuminate travel, education and exploration, platforms you publish across, and ways you’re broadminded, Virgo. The Eclipse lands in your house of philosophy, religion, global projects and special subjects.

Celebrate paths to progress and your own development!

The Sun, Mercury and Mars bring you into contact with local areas and the people that share your mindset, language or skillset. There may be talks with siblings, neighbors or those close to home in familiar settings. Your environment and inner circle of trust may be on your mind.

However, so too is a new way of seeing life. An education underway is key, a journey and big issues – even political, legal or religious matters. Avoid a statement that’s combative, striking up conversation that quickly gets heated. Instead lean towards the point of view or cultural awareness you’re gaining.

Libra

Joint finances, shared assets, resources or property could be topical now Libra! The Eclipse lands in your house of commitments, mutual arrangements and togetherness in a practical sense.

What you owe or stand to make, build, profit from in tandem with others may be key. Make room for intensity around your legacy, loyalty or trust issues.

As the Sun, communicator Mercury and Mars assemble in your house of solo input, your money, role and the part you play could be on your mind. It’s all too easy to get into a heated conversation, so be calm about what you do, what you value and contribute.

An agreement could be celebrated, as you lean on others or gain from an outside party. However, be aware of the attention on what you do in your position, what you bring to the table!

Scorpio

The Eclipse lands in your relationship house and zone of togetherness, encouraging you to show awareness of a friend or partner. Bring attention to growth you’ve experienced around intimate connections – with any individual that awakens you to a different kind of dynamic, or alternative ways of relating, one-on-one.

As the Sun, communicator Mercury and Mars assemble in your own sign (and first house) you’re also encouraged to pay attention to you, your body and physical presence, Scorpio.

People around you and collaboration matters, including groups and teamwork. But so do your plans and interests. Try to find the right balance without expressing anger in your tone! Mercury and Mars could have you delivering a strong message…

Sagittarius

Work, your wellbeing, health, routines and employment could be topical now, Sagittarius. The Eclipse lands in your house of rituals, wellness and physical maintenance.

As the Sun, communicator Mercury and Mars assemble in your charitable zone of healing, a secret matter may be on your mind. You could be keen to escape, rest or avoid life day-to-day, yet must take time to acknowledge your lifestyle, the way you live, operate and organize yourself.

Find the balance between your inward journey, private life, and hidden plans underway, and a practice or endeavour that’s productive. An elusive transformation may be underway with Scorpio Season, yet the Eclipse wants you to celebrate a regime or your duties, and how effective you are when a present and constant force.

Capricorn

Illuminate your children, loved ones (or love affairs), passion and pregnancy. The Eclipse lands in your creative zone of play dates and entertainment!

Celebrate the interests that bring you ultimate happiness, be it artistic, a sporting hobby or game that sparks joy. Indulge and put cherished people first.

The Sun, Mercury and Mars bring you towards your community or industry, with collective interests and team work prominent. Your peer group, friendship circle or hopes and dreams that are social could be on your mind.

Bring focus and attention to the good you can do in the world, but balance this with your own plans, talents and sense of fun!

Aquarius

Home, your property, family or the life you lead behind closed doors could be topical now Aquarius. The Eclipse lands at the base of your chart, suggesting you’re on a journey to explore and change where or how you settle down.

Ground yourself and allow revelations around your land and spaces you occupy. Nest or celebrate your sanctuary!

As the Sun, communicator Mercury and Mars assemble at the top of your horoscope, your ambitious, go-getting streak may have momentum, too. You could be keen to personally advance, or see attention around a position of notoriety – stepping up as a success.

Household matters are to be acknowledged, your dwellings and domestic commitments. Yet your outward facing profile is also compelling, as you think about your reputation, title or the impression you make. One figure or commitment may play into security matters and your foothold. Find the sweet spot with trust, or awareness of who you can rely on.

Pisces

The Eclipse lands in your sociable house of kindred spirits, communication skills and neighborly interactions. Illuminate local dealings, an important thread of information or news, your message or teachings.

A topic may run through your tight knit circle, with those closest understanding how important it is you deliver wisdom.

As the Sun, communicator Mercury and Mars assemble in your visionary house of travel, personal development, growth and exploration, there may also be world issues on your mind. Higher education, long-distance connections, religion, faith or a legal discussion may be on your mind.

Find peace as you deal with broader outlooks and relate an opinion. Make contact, with a way to express yourself to important figures, while also acknowledging your truth.
