The Blood Moon Eclipse on November 8 is a magical event. Falling in the sign of Taurus, this Blood Moon Eclipse brings waves of transformative energy. This November Blood Moon Eclipse will be working in synergy with that May Eclipse, so you very well may notice similar themes and patterns, or more to the story may be revealed. Go back to May this year and you will notice that even if it’s not the same events repeating themselves, the lessons that are emerging are similar.
Transformation can always be challenging and often requires the painful work of peeling back layers, shedding skin, and birthing into the new. Under the eclipse, the intensity level of these transformations can be turned up.
Under all the intensity and transformative energy of a Blood Moon, we can feel zapped, off-balance, or a little more irritable than usual. It is important to practice self-care, grounding exercises, and to get plenty of rest.
Blood Moon Eclipses can also have a purging effect, so it is extra important to stay hydrated as our body, mind, and soul release and do away with all that no longer serves. We need to start with a clean slate so it’s going to be intense, shocking and life changing. Make no mistake that this eclipse is potent bringing in strange new beginnings.
This eclipse is happening in opposition to Mercury, squaring Saturn and in conjunction with Uranus. AKA- we are going to need to pivot! The process of getting there might be deeply uncomfortable because we are going to have to break through our comfort zones, leaving behind everything we believed in so far.
Uranus, the planet of awakening and breaking boundaries is very active under this November Eclipse. It is already in retrograde. This is bottling up internalized rebellion. People around you might be doing shocking things and of course you might be doing this too as everyone wants to create a revolution for themselves! We may feel inspired to cut the chains with anything or anything that feels like a bind so that we can free ourselves from what is not serving its purpose anymore in our lives. Uranus is also known to bring awakening and surprise, so there is a chance that this Eclipse could bring some shocking news, or may inspire an action or decision that comes as a shock to those around you. Unexpected roads could open whether we are prepared or not. Shocking information about people, circumstances, situations could all come out of nowhere.
Mercury on the opposite end of the moon, is so powerful and so positive. It gives us insight on something that is holding us back. Something that is caging us up and stopping us to move forward, maybe it’s outside rules and regulations, maybe you have been resisting change. It’s going to be powerful as insights that come will be powerful, intense , very comfortable and have been hidden in plain sight till now.
Remember eclipses always put us where we need to be for our highest growth, even if it doesn’t feel like it straight away. This eclipse will do an extra job of that so be prepared for soul level, karmic shifts. Venus, the planet of love, is also active under this Eclipse. Thus not only romantic relationships will be under focus but also we will be looking over our values and our feelings of self-worth. Eclipses are very unpredictable. You need to keep in mind that a part of the story is hidden, it will be revealed in due time. Unexpected outcomes are what can be expected so don’t make rigid plans. You may not get what you want but you will surely get what you need. Allow that space for those messages to come in.
Saturn, the planet of Karma, is also active under this Eclipse energy . Saturn’s presence can definitely create some heaviness and can shine a spotlight on all the things that we need to deal with from our past. If there are lessons that we have not learnt, Saturn will try to teach them all over again and this time with more intensity. Similarly if there are things or people that we need to let go, under this eclipse energy, Saturn will once again shine a spotlight on them and make us take a very hard look at those.
We may find ourselves feeling extra overwhelmed, irritable, or frustrated, especially if we are holding on to past events or past stories.We won’t have another Blood Moon Eclipse until 2025, so find gratitude for this rare celestial event. Honor yourself for moving through the work, and know when you find yourself on the other side of its energy, you will be facing a new chapter of your soul’s evolution.
Out of the blue, you may have to shift into practical, resourceful mode in order to resolve whatever curveball this Taurus lunar eclipse sends your way. Whether a minor tremor or a seismic shift, whatever changes arose were overdue. No more ignoring what must be done!
In the matters of the heart Brace yourself !Since this full moon is also a total lunar eclipse, you might be hit with some surprising information. Like maybe that nice person is actually a manipulative tool—and the one you pegged as a player is marriage material. Misaligned values could be cause for a breakup, or some heavy-duty couples therapy. But then again, perhaps your love interest is more stable than you gave them credit for. Bottom line: When you slow down and get back to brass tacks, you may discover inconsistencies that need to be dealt with. But that’s where pragmatic Taurus shines. Sort it out with logic and lots of touch , if the love isn’t lost. If you are seeing someone and decide this is the person then this is also the time to dial up the romantic gestures and bring in more intimacy!
All in all, it is the time to make pivots, in some cases maybe a full 180 degrees. This is catapulting you to break down any limitations that have been holding you back! Everyone is going to be sensitive, emotions will be flying around everywhere, reactions will be shocking, realities will be revealed and like it or not transformations are coming.
It is a good time to get your birth charts looked at , your tarot read as this is such a huge impact making energy. E.g. which houses are occupied by taurus and scorpio and what do they represent as those will be up for major transformations. Your natal planets are in fixed signs ( Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius and Leo) so if you have any planets in these signs, they will be disruptive and changed. Likewise planets in water signs will see changes as well. Etc, etc etc… all in all, huge transformations are coming so if there was a time to get involved with tarot and astrology , it is now!
Metaphorically speaking- this eclipse is the earthquake before we all find stable ground!
With strength,
Pooja
