A Taurus Lunar Eclipse
Early this morning we had a lunar eclipse in the sign of Taurus.
The window of time between eclipses (October 25 - November 7) was significant. It's a processing time after the solar eclipse in Scorpio, which was about bringing bad cycles and patterns to our attention (see my post on the Scorpio Solar Eclipse and Breaking Bad Cycles), and this eclipse in Taurus will take this further. Taurus is more tangible. If we were able to see our bad cycles up close and personal these past two weeks or so, now we're going to be shown a way forward that is stronger and healthier. A way towards our goals that is aligned with who we truly are.
Eclipses can feel unstable and chaotic. But sometimes, they aren't. Observe where you feel like you are making bad decisions or still engaging in compulsive behaviors. Look for an alternative. Now is a time where the Universe will likely show you a new path.
Sometimes this can be really boring. It can be as simple as observing that you are scrolling on your phone when you could be doing something to get ready for bed and get a better night's sleep. It could be tossing out the sugary snacks and replaying that with something healthier. Just be sure that if a boundary needs to be made, you make it! Sometimes we don't see things so clearly when we're in the midst of a bad pattern, but eclipses tend to jolt us out of a slumber. If this change feels hard (as change can often be for Taurus), try to make it energizing.
Taurus is great at implementing simple things for the long haul. That's how you see change that lasts, and eclipses are all about change.
So, make a list of a couple small changes you'd like to make and stick to them! Reflect back on what came up around the Scorpio eclipse and see how you it all lines up.
To observe your patterns with this eclipse, look back to November 9, 2003. This was the last time there was a Taurus Lunar Eclipse in this same exact place in the sky. If you can think back to that time and remember what was going on in your life you’ll gain a lot more wisdom out of what is most significant for you right now.
