Eclipse Season is here!

Early in the morning, the Full Moon experienced its longest partial lunar eclipse since the 1440’s. A six hour process, the Earth’s shadow created a gradual red tint to the moon. Such occurrences were given the name “blood moon” due to their hue. And quite a sight to behold, we were able to see it in the States clearly and not unhappy in the least to wake up to a 3:45 alarm and bundle up to peer at our silver celestial goddess in all her epic blood-washed beauty.

Speaking of the shadow side, the Sun is at the end of its time in Scorpio and this combination of the Sun and the Full Moon in Taurus at lunar eclipse time creates what is known as the Taurus-Scorpio axis. We are stepping away from the Gemini-Sagittarius lunar nodes and into a new series of subjects. Taurus-Scorpio represents a fixed sign showdown between stability and death, stubbornness and the most scary of all for some: change. Granted, Eclipse Season always marks change. It exudes intense energy that can overwhelm humanity for the week before and after its actual event, but no better a time to sit with one’s discomfort and face aspects of themselves they have been avoiding. That is the eclipse way: to reveal what needs to come to the surface in order to pass into the next phase.
