Three celestial bodies yoked together in precise alignment, Earth-Moon-Sun, occurs this Thursday at 12:58 PM, PDT, at the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse. Thanks to Apollo astronauts, we know that this syzygy increases the gravitational pull to such a degree that it triggers a seismic event on the Moon, a Moonquake.
An eclipse provides a turning point, a moment to reboot our energies and the direction of our lives. Just as ocean tides are indisputably raised during a Full Moon Eclipse, so are the aggressive energies we feel. A Full Moon marks a culminating cycle in our lives. In Scorpio it means looking fearlessly at our woundedness, the underbelly of our hatred, and shining the light of wisdom on the treasures of love kept hidden.
Scorpio’s archetypal lord of the underworld, Darth Vader, is unmasked.
“The search for love is but the honest searching out of everything that interferes with the awareness of Love’s presence.” A Course In Miracles
♡ Date Night: Venus and Mars
The goddess of love is in a luxuriously romantic mood, and Mars is, believe it or not, feeling loyal and wanting a steadfast relationship. The problem is, who will be the pursuer? With both lovers in Taurus, they could just lounge around the comforts of their home, waiting for someone else to make the first move. Pick someplace beautiful to share together, and definitely get off the couch!
The Force of unmasking is with you.
Here’s your horoscope for the week of April 21-27, 2013:
(★ Astrology Wonks see bottom of page)
Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
You feel the fires of impatience lift slowly, and your focus on the tasks at hand gets gradually clearer. Even though the down to earth pleasures of Taurus are prominent, you still have a mind that is quicker than usual and loaded with inspiration. Look at what you possess. What are must-haves and what can be left behind? Thursday’s Full Moon in Scorpio intensifies your need to deal with matters of ultimate concern; death, regeneration, and transformation. The ash from your fires is a rich fertilizer for a new garden.
Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)
Well Taurus you are finally coming home to your self, after some jumpy months of frazzled nerves. Mars, Sun and Venus are in your sign, enhancing your green thumb when it comes to money, love, and even gardens. If you’re not too busy writing a love sonnet, it’s a good time to invest money and put plans into action. The Scorpio Full Moon is an eclipse that increases your need to integrate your conscious will with your deeper feelings and desires. Whim is never your motivation, but it’s especially unprofitable now.
Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)
You generally think too much, and even read too much, but this week it’s time to apply what you know you know. The Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse requires you to look deeper into the murky waters of what motivates you; deeper than is comfortable. Use your curiosity to lead you to unmasking the desires that lead you to your career choices. Since change comes so easily to you, the opportunity to reboot this Thursday can truly be a time to see exactly where your over-thinking has ignored a true need.
Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)
People around you see you as wonderful and amazing. You’ve had more than a wink and a prayer of good fortune and organizational help since last October, and this week you’ll feel a culminating energy to projects or changes you initiated then.
Though you’re shy about revealing yourself, your courage to look another squarely in the eye is enormous.
The Scorpio eclipse this Thursday pulls you to “hang the moon,” using your best spiritual attitude, uncritical awe. Awesome you!
Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)
You’re being called back to your senses, and to what feeds your heart in the physical world. The powerful eclipse this Thursday gives you a moment in time to feel the lifting of the veil that reveals the full-on truth of who stands before you. The fires you’ve felt during the past six weeks gave you the power to initiate. Now earthy Taurus shows up with a bulldozer to plough the fields, which ordinarily you want no part of. Keep in mind that in the wake of a wildfire, accumulations of dead and useless material is gone, while a new diversity of life springs up. That’s your process now.
Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)
You are in a position to help someone out of a well worn emotional groove. Your practical assessment of the costs of being tied to the past make your insights alchemical. The Scorpio Eclipse this Thursday at midday confers a decidedly strengthened willpower to some intense activity. You’re more aggressive and self-assertive and you’ll brook no interference with your decisions. The Scorpio eagle is in your corner, suggesting you repair and refurbish your nest.
Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)
There are some decidedly masculine aspects flying around this week’s Full Moon Eclipse in Scorpio. Your very feminine muse, Venus, finds the energy of the strong and biased emotions of Scorpio’s willfulness to be crude, or at least off-putting. Your diplomacy may have to take a backseat to Scorpio’s unbridled passions, like jealousy and revenge. Still, if you can join with someone in an agreed upon objective that you both think is worthwhile, no sacrifice will seem too great. Thursday’s a great time to reboot the old tape about people pleasing. Delete, delete!
Scorpio ♏ (October 23-November 21)
Your powerful muse, the eagle, has had a lot of wildlife kills attributed to it’s prowess that in fact were the work of others. Likewise, you power is often misunderstood because others feel intimidated by you, whether you intend it or not. This week, leading up to the potent Full Moon Eclipse in your sign this Thursday, you’ll feel like restructuring your nest, including the family members in it! Your defenses are strong, and you’ll be somewhat resistant to a differing point of view because you’re so sure of yourself. Allow some worldly pleasures. Do something that delights you.
Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)
Your fire hasn’t gone out, it’s just burned out the useless and outworn on it’s way to new territory. Your mental processes are very sharp, looking for new ideas. It’s like your mind is a fast paced hare, and your movements are like the tortoise. If you feel out of sync, frustrating yourself because you don’t think something’s moving fast enough, use the noon hour of Thursday’s Eclipse to reboot your mental pace to a slower mph. You’ll feel more focused.
Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)
Last week you started to feel like “finally, things are going my way.” Although nothing is really coming to you easily (but Capricorn is so well suited to hard work!), it is coming to you with a dose of comfort and worldly pleasures. Thursday, around high noon, stop yourself in your tracks long enough to absorb some new information that’s accompanied by some very intense feelings. You’re not being shown how to get ahead, or climb the ladder of success. Rather, it’s about the remodeling blueprints scatter all over your dining room table. The May 20th pinnacle is coming fast. Beheading your inner dictator should be in the plans, but it must be preceded by uprooting the past.
Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)
Your heart is in the right place, your vision is expansive, but your audience this week is likely to be involved in power plays! The ones that benefit only themselves. Hang on to your high hopes, even though right now you feel like that little ol’ ant! Even the dark underworld of Scorpio’s domain cannot resist the light of your knowledge. Your compassion and faith is strong. Just slow down and use the eclipse to release what no longer serves you.
Pisces ♓ (February 18-March 19)
You can look for harmony in your home, luck with money, and an intense and powerful drive that gets you to the bottom of what ails you, or anyone who seeks your advice. Your mental processes may still be short circuiting now and then, but what you lack in clarity you make up for in willpower. Your usual shyness takes a big back seat to the urge to fly. Never ask a sparrow how the eagle flies, for those with little wings cannot advise you on this awesome flight. Use the eclipse to lift off!
