LOVE GROWS: TAURUS FULL MOON LUNAR ECLIPSE
Last month’s Scorpio New Moon Solar Eclipse helped us release low-level emotions (i.e., anger, resentment, suspicion); now, with the Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, we’ll likely see our love having grown, since we’ve made more space.
Eclipses are cosmic “resets” that align us with our higher selves. The shifts eclipses bring are fated — i.e., the changes would have happened anyway, but an eclipse expedites the process. Usually, solar eclipses bring destined new beginnings and opportunities, whereas lunar eclipses tend to catalyze fated endings or breakdowns that lead to breakthroughs. These series of eclipses in Scorpio and Taurus are different, however: Because the transiting South Node is now in Scorpio, we’re collectively moving away from low-level Scorpionic energy, and moving toward the North Node, where grounded, stable, solid Taurus now resides. Thus, this Lunar Eclipse in Taurus is about moving toward love and determining what constitutes solid, rich, fertile (Taurean) ground. Ruled by Venus, Taurus simply wants to feel good, so the more we can lean into love and nurture its growth, the better we’ll fare over the next six months.
To see where this Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is likely to catalyze change, see which astrological house 16 degrees of Taurus falls in your chart; likewise, read the horoscope for your sign and/or rising sign below:
ARIES: The Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Second House of Resources. You may be incentivized now to make changes for long-term wealth and comfort. Just as in last month’s Solar Eclipse, sharing issues may come into focus now, as you re-establish your boundaries and comfort zones. Be sure to take care of your own needs while considering the needs of others. Money may come and go quickly, while financial ventures may also come out of the blue. Determine your up-to-date values and ensure your daily actions coincide with them to feel more secure than ever before.
TAURUS: The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in your sign transits your First House of Identity, catalyzing a change in how you view yourself and project your personality out into the world. Just like last month’s Solar Eclipse, it’ll be important to strike a balance between your autonomy and dependence. You’re likely to be uncharacteristically emotional now, so put your needs first, but do so while maintaining respect for others. This lunation is pushing you to develop a healthier self-image which will enhance your relationships; there may be some growing pains before you get comfy and cozy.
GEMINI: The Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Twelfth House of the Subconscious. It’s time to nest and rest, especially if it’s been hectic—which is likely due to last month’s Solar Eclipse. Balance your life with downtime now and you’ll be all the better for it. You may be feeling more secretive and desire to work “behind the scenes.” By prioritizing alone time and self-soothing, you’ll be in good stead to handle any changes on the work front. Guard against self-sabotage, as self-limiting beliefs that keep you from happiness can now be “found and replaced.”
CANCER: The Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Eleventh House of Friends and Dreams. Friendships and the communities you belong to may be tested now, as you seek comfort from chums and group activities. Echoing last month’s Solar Eclipse, there may be changes regarding romance, creativity, or your children if you have any. Such changes may have you re-examining your hopes and dreams for the future. As you determine new “best case scenarios” in your life now, you may discover new friends and groups that are better aligned with your ideals.
LEO: The Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Tenth House of Career and Status. You may be reviewing and changing your professional goals. At the same time, echoing last month’s Solar Eclipse, a domestic matter may also be on your mind. You’re likely going to have to “step up to the plate” in some capacity now, so make sure you’re giving yourself the proper rest, care, and play you need! Whatever shifts you incur are helping you to create space for the “next big thing.” Your personal and professional life go hand in hand now, i.e., one can enhance the other.
VIRGO: As the Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Ninth House of Expansion, your personal beliefs now may be changing. At the same time, your desire for learning and adventure may be at an all-time high. It’s time to go after those “shiniest apples on the tree” and take a leap of faith. As you’re pushed outside of your comfort zone and eager to explore new terrain, be sure your self-talk, which was highlighted last month, is aligned with your goals — especially those pertaining to public speaking, publishing, broadcast, or higher education.
LIBRA: As the Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Eighth House of Rebirth, what makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people’s needs. There may be new money coming in now, from your spouse, tax refunds, or investments. It’s a great time to settle any debts, fiscal or otherwise. This transit is hitting one of the more sensitive areas of your chart, so be sure to give yourself extra time and space to process your emotions. Leave behind feelings of jealousy, resentment, and anger to soar higher than ever before.
SCORPIO: As the Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Seventh House of Partnerships, relationships may be tested — not a problem if the relation is on solid ground. While last month’s Solar Eclipse in your sign helped you determine your up-to-date needs, it’s now time to recognize the needs of the others in your life. As new information comes to light regarding a partner — even your feelings about one — relationship dynamics will shift. This lunation is pushing you to break old patterns of behavior, and the changes now are for your greatest empowerment.
SAGITTARIUS: As the Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Sixth House of Lifestyle, there could be changes afoot in your job or daily routine. This surge of emotional energy will give you the power to find a new job, start a self-improvement program, or otherwise improve your day-to-day conditions. Though old habits die hard, a dramatic release of what bedeviled you before can happen under an eclipse. Likewise, keep an open mind if any unexpected opportunities come your way; there’s a new trajectory ahead meant to make you more healthy, wealthy, and wise.
CAPRICORN: As the Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Fifth House of Pleasure, a romance may be tested. Such tests may have to do with your larger dreams and goals, which were the main concern during last month’s Solar Eclipse. If you have children, they may be going through a new stage now which will evolve your relationship. Likewise, you may begin a new creative project, as you’re no longer content putting your passions on hold. As the eclipse clears space for more fun in your life, consider what will really light you up and make your inner child want to come out and play.
AQUARIUS: As the Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Fourth House of Emotional Security, domestic conditions may come into focus at this time. Whether you’re renovating, refereeing family squabbles, or looking to move, the demands of your personal life are strong. Finding a balance between your private and professional life now is key, as a career project may also come to fruition at this time. Since this transit is hitting one of the more sensitive areas of your chart, it would be wise to double-down on your self-care. It’s time to release whatever’s heavy so you can fly.
PISCES: The Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse transits your Third House of Communications, so be sure to be in a good headspace to deal with all the information and stimuli that is likely to come your way. Your daily routine may change now, which could be a breath of fresh air. Likewise, in light of last month’s Solar Eclipse, you could have a big win in publishing, broadcast, higher education, or law. Conversations may reveal secrets and opportunities, so keep your eyes, ears—and especially your heart—open.
