Or how to reach closure and move on!

On October 28th 2023, at 20:23 GMT, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 5° of Taurus will take place.
Full Moons always bring culmination, closure and then release and this particular one happens to be a partial lunar eclipse so we can expect to close a chapter for good (whether we want it or not). This is also the last eclipse on the financial/economic axis Taurus/Scorpio until 2040!
This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse highlights a permanent change in the way we see abundance, money and how we measure self-worth. The Moon is conjunct Jupiter and this aspect is likely to expand and create an explosion of emotions and feelings (many of them are related to self-value). With 5 planets in Water signs, emotions are once again emphasised and I feel like this eclipse acts as a deep purifying ritual. As always with intense feelings and energy, grounding is required. The Moon in Taurus finds stillness and healing in calm and soothing activities.
Emotions are running high for sure and another aspect to consider is the conjunction between the Sun, Mars and Mercury in Scorpio. This gives intensity and power to our words and actions, sometimes to the point where they become tough, harsh and tactless. It’s essential to communicate with thoughtfulness and to think before saying harsh truths.
At the time of the Full Moon, 6 planets are in fixed signs, displaying a lot of determination but also stubbornness and attachement to what is. This firmness and this strength of character are very useful but can become an obstacle when an eclipse occurs: some situations, people or elements will disappear or cease to resonate with our personal path, this is the rule with such a lunation! Letting go is a big theme and it can be a difficult exercise. Journaling, meditating, drawing are tools to help us deal with this intensity and to call for more flexibility into our lives.
Some positive aspects during the Full Moon can help and support our collective growth. Saturn in Pisces forms a trine to the Sun in Scorpio, easing our way towards improvement and introspection. Pluto and Uranus are in a trine aspect as well, giving us the will and the impetus to implement a change for the better in our thought patterns and coping mechanisms. A new way of understanding the situation could prove extremely useful!
Intensity, emotionality but also release are enhanced with this lunation, if possible, take some quiet ‘me time’.
Wishing you big happy changes that lead to serenity 🤍💫
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
