ECLIPSE, TAURUS MOON & ALL THAT BULL...
Bloomin' heck, as we say up here in the north of England. The energy of this latest partial lunar eclipse is a doozy isn't it? Are you feeling it? Things feel seriously stirred up and it's got me feeling unsettled and discombobulated. How about you?
Whether you're woo or not, no one can dispute the energy of the moon. It pulls and pushes tides. If it can do that to the ocean and we mere mortals are made up of over 60% water (the heart and brain are 73% water), well it's no wonder we feel the effects is it? My gorgeous and deeply spiritual Dad used to swear he couldn't sleep during the full moon. I always joked that it was probably because his bedroom always seemed to be facing towards the moon and its light shone straight in. In truth, we both knew that 'the force was strong' with us around changes in the moon cycle.
This partial eclipse is the start of a whole series of chaotic and transformative eclipses that will run right up to 2023 and is connected to the 'Great Conjunction' of 2020. You might remember me banging on about that just a bit. If not, make sure you catch up on it all. It marked the beginning of a 200 year period in the AIR element that will see things getting blustery and even stormy at times as we enter the Age of Aquarius.

As if all that wasn't enough, today, 19 November 2021, gives us a Full Moon in Taurus.
Full moons are always about releasing because as the moon wanes, or moves away, it takes away. This Taurus bull energy coupled with the eclipse energy can give your letting go a bit of a turbo boost and a chance to spend the next couple of weeks (up to the new moon) thinking about what you want to change up, transform or call in. New moons are always about new beginnings, setting intentions and starting new things, doing things anew but more about that later.
The partial lunar eclipse and Taurus moon showing up in Scorpio season can have us feeling intense, ungrouded and frankly a bit discombobulated! If so, it's good news because the Taurus Full Moon will help us to get grounded with its earthy nurturing energy. It won't necessarily be a smooth transition though with that eclipse energy around. Eclipses take us in to the dark to prepare for transformation and so that we can appreciate the light.
SO WHAT THE HECK DOES ALL THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
I don't know about you, but this last crazy year or so has had me reflecting and re evaluating like billio. It's shone a spotlight on what doesn't work for me, what's holding me back and why I can sometimes just feel tethered and stuck. It's also had me doubting and second guessing myself. Frankly, it's time to let go of all that shizzle and nonsense and there's no better time than now.
BUT HOW?
Well, think about what you want and need to release, let go of, rid yourself of. Whether it's old clothes, clutter, your job, business or relationship or whether it's those pesky negative thought patterns; self doubt, imposter syndrome, feelings of not being good enough or being critical and judgemental of others, now is the time to say goodbye it all. You know it is, right love? It's time for some serious reflection. It might help to ask yourself these questions...
Where are you lacking structure or security?
Where do you need grounding?
Where could you simplify things?
What are you denying yourself?
Answer with brutal honesty. It's you talking to the real you and nothing short of raw honesty will get you where you need and want to be.
