Or how to make space before the Universe does it for you!

On November 8th at 11:01 AM (GMT), the Moon at 16° of Taurus will be opposing the Sun at 16° of Scorpio thus forming a powerful Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Taurus. Full Moons represent a time of release: the Moon shines bright over matters we must improve, situations we must move away from and toxic habits or people we must let go of. A total lunar eclipse on top of all this is like a double dose of your favourite liquor: it hits you once when you finish your glass and a second time when you least expect it!

This Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse occurs on the Taurus-Scorpio axis of the zodiac. It highlights material possessions, self-worth and self-value, comfort, love, introspection and finances.

Along with the intensity of these themes go the notions of destiny (North Node in Taurus), sudden and unexpected shifts (Uranus in Taurus), deeply rooted emotions (Moon in Taurus), inner transformation (Sun in Scorpio), karmic balance (South Node in Scorpio), intricate relationships (Venus in Scorpio) and communication (Mercury in Scorpio). Adding a total lunar eclipse to these topics is asking the question: where exactly in my life things/situations/patterns have to die, shift or disappear so I can get a bright and beautiful rebirth?

Keeping in mind these keywords: change, surprise, love, karma, fate, death and rebirth, here are the horoscopes for each zodiac sign. As always, read your big 3 (Sun, Rising and Moon signs).

• Aries: Sudden realisations may happen in the way you value yourself and how much you think you’re worth in relation to your job, finances and material comfort. If you’ve been underestimating yourself or self-deprecating, it’s time to change and see your worth for what it truly is. Remember your past achievements and everything you’ve been able to handle until now. You can do it! Stop your limiting beliefs.

• Taurus: Who are you and above all, who do you want to be? You can expect some ‘aha’ moment when it comes to your identity, your core persona and your true self. What habits have you taken out of laziness? What mask have you been wearing to please other people? What needs to be released so you can be and feel yourself? These deep questions will open the door to a bright and powerful new you.

• Gemini: Ha! Those subconscious messages that won’t let you sleep… For once, you can decipher them, because this lunar event brings some tools to understand what has been in your mind and yet hidden all this time. Where have you been self-sabotaging? And why? What scares you deeply must be confronted so you can move on. You might receive some insights to unlock the mysteries of your soul.

• Cancer: Change of plans is on the horizon! The future you envisioned could be drastically modified if it doesn’t resonate with evolution and improvement. Some of your friendships may be strengthened while some people might be let go of. What is not helpful for your growth, destiny and future needs to be put aside and this Full Moon gives you the perfect amount of courage and rebellion to act accordingly.

• Leo: Your social status and career are under the spotlight with this lunation. If your foundations are fair and square, you could be nicely surprised and have a promotion or reach a long awaited goal. If you experience some lack in career or finances, you shall find what or who has been a block all this time and proceed to overcome the situation. Recognition is likely to happen if you’re in a field that suits you.

• Virgo: Whether it’s a long-distance journey or a brand new philosophy book, something will shift in your mind and open the doors of perception in a way you’re not accustomed to. Expect sudden awakenings in your belief system and life principles. What kind of thoughts have you been harnessing and were they authentic enough or resonating with your true mind? If they were forming bigger blocks than solutions, it’s now time to switch them!

• Libra: Oh, the things we do for love or jealousy! Time to take a good look at your carnal desires and intense relationships. Are they serving you or depleting you from your energy and optimism? If the relationship is not right for you, you can be sure it will change or disappear. Your shared resources are under the limelight, any imbalance or shortcoming will be addressed so you can start again on a clean slate. Deep conversation with your other half could bring quick understanding.

• Scorpio: It’s time to look closely at your contracts and partnerships of all sorts and see if there’s anything outdated or unfair. Have you been over-giving or overdoing? Or have you tried to do less and get more advantages? In both cases, it’s likely to change in a sudden or even unexpected manner. It may feel uncomfortable and disturbing at first but you know it will unravel harmoniously later on! Some partners (work related or not) will be out of your life if you’ve outgrown them and that’s for the best.

• Sagittarius: What kind of bad habits or toxic patterns should you change in your routine? What kind of unhealthy foods or situations have you been into? The skies are asking you to leave behind what’s detrimental to you on a daily basis and at work with your colleagues. Some truths might come up in professional conversations and make you cut lose some work-related relationships. If you don’t act now to take care of yourself, this Full Moon will help you (and it may feel awkward).

• Capricorn: You can expect a big shift in your romance, creativity and fun area. You may have been focusing on serious matters, work and annoying tasks but this is going to change. La luna is highlighting the path to creative ideas and fun (that you can implement in your work as well)! Any love relationship that is not for your highest good will exit, one way or another. Inspiration might appear swiftly through flashes or vivid imagery, take the first step towards it, you will feel refreshed and renewed.

• Aquarius: Home is where the heart is as they say. So the question is: how does home feel like to you? You may have the urge to redecorate your space, move the furniture around or even look for a new place. If you ever felt suffocating in between your house walls, the time is right for a change. A maternal figure could help you see clearly (and even bring solutions to) what has been missing in your home life. Relationships with the mother are realigned for your well-being.

• Pisces: Readjustments take place in your day-to-day communication, especially with neighbours, your community and siblings. You’ll understand very clearly what people want from you and you may discover good souls that will become part of your tribe. On the other hand, some disappointments are likely to be felt and you may let go of some ‘friends’. In any case, communication will show you what you need to see. An unexpected short-distance trip could occur, some kind of last-minute booking and it’s perfect now!

There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.
