The Taurus/Scorpio full Moon on Friday (EST) is also a partial Lunar eclipse, and the first of three over the next few months. If its not cloudy in Melbourne, you should be able to see it sometime between 4-7am on Friday morning.

Lunar Eclipses are to do with emotional baggage and what to do with it. Especially this one in Scorpio. And ofcourse Saturn in Scorpio means that its old stuff, probably held on a cellular, structural level that needs addressing now.

Scorpio and Taurus are inclined to hoard and hide deeper feelings.  But every now and then, Scorpio’s will purge and cull, and out everything comes. (watch out for any resentments or stored anger, which can come out as ‘poison’, thus the famous Scorpio ‘sting’.) 

The build-up is augmented by the pre-emptive opposition the Moon is having with Mars, so there’s a lot of physical energy,  and anger to be expressed, and Taurus loves everyone to love them, so they generally don’t show their anger until it’s all too much, and then they charge like ‘wounded bulls’. Luckily the trine to Neptune softens and dissipates the potential harshness of Mars and the Moon. The delicacy of Chiron’s softer aspects to Venus and Pluto will allow relationships to gently transmute and change, after the depths have been met and processed.

Lunar Eclipses are disruptive and are seeking to break things up so that there can be movement and evolution. Scorpio is all for looking beneath the surface of things, so it really is a great time to loosen up harbored feelings, allow the process of that to open new deeper connections more grounded in earthy-ness and soul.

Aries New Moon ~ 7:35pm EST 10th April
After their cozy sojourn with the Sun as it travelled through the middle degrees of Aries last week, Venus and Mars are now slowly moving into their separate rhythms. On the night of the new Moon, will start their individual dialogues with Lilith (the Dark Moon) for a day or so. People were telling me over the last week that even though it was supposed to be Autumn, they were feeling like it was Spring: frisky…that’s Venus conjunct Mars in Aries for you! Quite a sexual combo…which can also be ‘channeled’ as charmingly energetic, or zestily dynamic, or just wanting to dance and express delight and love through the body..

And now Lilith is sorting them both out, reminding them that feminine energy must be deeply respected and revered so that our Souls can experience the depths of our experiences here on our beautiful Mother Gaia. It can’t just be the froth ‘n foam of a kind of petulant sexiness this relationship towards the feminine, there must be a more profound connection to really ground and balance us in our bodies. And the New Moon wants us to reflect inwardly, so it is a perfect time to contemplate the polarities in ourselves, and whether we allow the deeper feminine in our natures to be nourished enough by the stillness of Earth.

Pluto is sextile Chiron and square the Moon, so the assistance is there, should you choose, to go in, and savor the beauty of the dark feminine, and allow any resistance or fear to move and vibrate, thus deepening your own connection to her.
