🪐 MAJOR TRANSITS:

🌕 LUNAR ECLIPSE IN TAURUS ♉️ (16º) 3:01 AM PT

Eclipse season reaches its culmination point as the sun and moon face off at the nodes of fate. As the Earth's shadow casts a red hue on the full moon, we gain full awareness of our own shadows- especially surrounding money and physical security. This transit illuminates whatever came up during the solar eclipse two weeks before. We can gain a greater understanding of what's holding us back from growing and achieving the security and comfort we crave. We experienced this same phenomenon in Taurus one year ago. How has your reality shifted since then? Reflect on how much you've already manifested. Finding gratitude for all that has come to be opens us to even greater abundance in the coming cycle.

♏️ SUN CONJUNCT ♏️ MERCURY (16º) 8:42 AM PT

Mercury passes through the heart of the sun just hours after the total lunar eclipse. We refer to this phenomenon as Mercury Cazimi- a moment when the planet of communication takes over as ruler of our solar system for just a moment as the suns rays supercharge its influence. Aha moments and profound insights are possible during the eclipse and throughout the day following. Deep truths can be revealed with this intense conjunction happening in Scorpio.

♏️ MERCURY OPPOSITE ♉️ URANUS (16º) 6:39 PM PT

As we process the emotions and insights the eclipse reveals, we could have a change of mind. Plans could shift as well as Mercury opposes Uranus, the planet of disruption. The day will likely feel fast-paced and a little frantic. We might find it difficult to concentrate as our mind bounces around to whatever is stimulating in the moment. Beware of speaking out of turn or blurting things out. Put any major decisions or negotiations on hold if possible.

THE MOON:

♉️ MOON OPPOSITE ♏️ MERCURY AND CONJUNCT ♉️ URANUS rx (15º - 16º) 3:00 AM PT

During the total lunar eclipse, we feel Mercury and Uranus’s influence most strongly. Observing the moon turn red from the Earth’s shadow could bring a change of mind or make us aware of deeper thoughts and emotions. This lunar event marks a moment of transition and disruption.

♉️ MOON SQUARE ♒️ SATURN (18º) 7:00 AM PT

Saturn forms a tense T-square to ALL of the planets involved in this eclipse, marking a turning point. The past few weeks have brought shadows to the surface. Saturn helps us pull the lessons from the pain or obstacles we’ve been experiencing. But remember- this learning experience likely won’t be comfortable. Energetic boundaries are especially important under this full moon.

♉️ MOON OPPOSITE ♏️ VENUS (20º) 11:00 AM PT

We might feel especially needy for affection on Tuesday as the moon opposes Venus. The tension we’ve been experiencing in relationships and finances becomes crystal clear. If we aren’t able to get the love we’re looking for through human contact, we could substitute food or shopping to feel a rush of dopamine. Beware of reaching for a quick fix to feel temporary pleasure.

♉️ MOON SEXTILE ♓️ NEPTUNE (22º) 3:00 PM PT

The energy begins to lighten up on Tuesday afternoon as the moon and Neptune lock into a supportive angle. We can return to compassion and remember our ability to tap into universal love. Using our creativity can be a positive way to integrate the realizations that came through during the eclipse.

♉️ MOON SEXTILE ♋️ LILITH (23º) 5:00 PM PT

A sextile between the moon and Lilith helps us reclaim our power and sovereignty. This eclipse highlighted relationship dynamics and energy leaks. Lilith’s support helps us remember our ability to stand on our own two feet and claim what’s rightfully ours.

♉️ MOON TRINE ♑️ PLUTO (26º) 10:00 PM PT

The transformation we’ve undergone over the past 24 hours, the last two weeks, and the entire cycle we’ve just witnessed reached a culmination point as the Taurus full moon harmonizes with Pluto. We can easily understand what has been alchemized. This is a moment to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of what has just burned away.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:

The total lunar eclipse in Taurus marks a powerful turning point. As the earth’s shadow casts a red glow on the full moon between midnight and 4:00 AM PT, we can become fully aware of our current transformation. The moon meets up with Uranus during the eclipse, bringing sudden shifts and changes. On the opposite side of Earth, Mercury passes through the heart of the sun, allowing crystal clear downloads to be realized. We’re still feeling the influence of Venus in Scorpio too, keeping the focus on our relationships and finances. But it’s Saturn’s tense 90º angle to all of these planets that forces us to observe the lessons we’ve been learning about boundaries and responsibility. How have your values changed? What is truly important to you- both physically and spiritually? Through the following afternoon, supportive aspects between the full moon, Neptune, Lilith, and Pluto help us find compassion and reclaim our power.

*Ritual tip: Surrender and let go. As you observe this powerful lunar eclipse, ask yourself what lessons you’ve been learning and what boundaries have come up. This is a beautiful moment for cord-cutting.
