“You do not have to be good.

You do not have to walk on your knees

for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body

love what it loves.”

“Just name it and claim it

It's yours, it's yours

Yours for the asking

Yours, it's your blessing;

Whatever you need”

Important Note on the Partial Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Taurus

Partial Lunar Eclipse 5°08’ Taurus – October 28th, 2023, at 4:23 pm ET

Full moons reveal and illuminate. With today’s partial lunar eclipse full moon in Taurus, conjunct Jupiter, and the North Node, events unraveling can lead us to a greater self-philosophy of progress and expansion. We are being asked to live into our own possibilities with tenacity and self-possession. We can actively rewrite our own stories.

Eclipses are supercharged lunations that occur when the new moon (solar) or full moon (lunar) is near the moon’s two orbital nodes, known as the north or south nodes. In natal astrology, eclipses can initiate groundbreaking changes, insights, and shifts in the house where it takes place, particularly the planets or angles within 1-2 degrees of the eclipse.

If you have planets or angles within 1-2° of 5° Taurus, these houses and placements may be activated by the lunar eclipse. Fixed signs especially: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius.

Dig deeper. Make it intimate. Obsession is a pathway to greatness. Privacy is power. Mastering the art of intensity. Reading between the lines. The currency of sexuality. From manipulation to alchemy. MINE. Refusing to get got. Necessary power plays. Get it how you live. Preserving dignity is not prideful. Unnecessary power plays. What’s understood doesn’t need to be said. Sensitive, not fragile. I forgive you because I forgive myself.

ARIES & ARIES RISING

“The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. You will always be at the top, never at the bottom…” Deuteronomy 28:13

My dear Aries, as the bible verse, Deu. 28:13 says, “You are the head and not the tail.” For you, coming in first isn't just a number, it’s connected to the activeness of doing. You have the willpower to take on endeavors whether you are afraid or not. The full moon in Taurus reveals the web of deeply rooted beliefs you have about your self-worth and body. Let whatever comes up this lunar eclipse guide you to a deeper intimacy with your loved ones. The full moon is one of the oppositions to your sign that wants you to stretch yourself to build the kind of intimacy you deserve. This process can’t be rushed. Use this steady energy to reroot you in your own strength and power. To be full of yourself.

TAURUS & TAURUS RISING

My dear Taurus, you are learning the true meaning of courageous calm. In the face of great upheaval, practice staying grounded and centered no matter what comes your way this full moon. Your current circumstances aren’t here to break you, you are being pushed to turn your stubbornness into endurance. With boisterous Jupiter and chaotic Uranus both stationed Rx in your sign until the end of the year, you've been making a habit of being your own cheerleader in spite of the disillusionment you’ve been feeling about your identity. Let the lunar eclipse’s revelations guide you to a deeper trust in yourself. You are built differently, and that isn’t a glamorization of all you’ve had to endure; it's a celebration of your tenacity. Make it work for you on a conscious level, not just out of habit or spite.

GEMINI & GEMINI RISING

This full moon, don’t run from quietness. Pay attention to your zone of mental health, secrets, fears, and your inner saboteur, my dear Gemini. Make a path for your insecurities to unravel themselves. Schedule a time to worry so you can reclaim your solitude. Give your sorrows their appropriate space so they don’t bleed into the time and space that you need to dream and imagine a way forward.The lunar eclipse might also reveal some hidden enemies close to you. Make sure you are practicing your energy-clearing protocol and keeping your spiritual hygiene. Is it time for you to take a spiritual bath? What rituals can you perform to own your solitude? Sleep, rest, and create a personal retreat for yourself.

CANCER & CANCER RISING

Let the full moon lead you outside your shell, my dear Cancer. This lunar eclipse wants to show you that what you have to share with the world matters. Notice how the full moon coaxes you to share more of yourself with your audience. Yes, you have an audience that wants to hear your insights, opinions, and creative voice. There are people waiting on your art, and your responsibility as an artist is to be willing to share yourself with them, within your boundaries. Practice being witnessed by the people who want to receive you. Are there specific platforms that you can utilize to connect with your people? 

LEO & LEO RISING

Leo, your legacy is bigger than a career. You’ve spent so much of your life force trying to fit into spaces and places that want to change you. To make you an acceptable version of yourself. There is courage in admitting that the life that we’ve sacrificed and planned for isn’t working, no matter how skilled we’ve become at adjusting. This doesn’t mean that you are perfect, but rather, you’ve earned the right to trust what you know to lead you to greater heights. What kind of life is waiting for you if you let go of what is expected of you and flow into a glorious something else? Notice where things are working and ride the current of this full moon into the spaces where you are recognized.

VIRGO & VIRGO RISING

Get outside of yourself. The world is bigger than your bubble of perfection. My dear Virgo, this full moon wants you to go wide rather deep. Look at the horizon and see a realm of possibility and openness waiting for you. Explore, get inspired, or take a trip far away. If you can’t get away, shift your perspective. Notice all the places in your life where you can expand on a soul level. You are treading new and unknown territories. What you see is not a limit for what you can be or do. Consult the oracle. Get a divination. BE INSPIRED.

LIBRA & LIBRA RISING

So many of our agreements with others are unspoken, and nonverbally communicated with a moan, groan, or sigh. This full moon lunar eclipse wants to reveal to you the deeper nature of consent. Make getting consent sexy. Be in your body. Don’t let fear run you off or rush you. Let people know what you want and don’t want anymore. What you used to like and can no longer stand. We are constantly negotiating with our nearest and dearest, but negotiating doesn’t mean you get less than what you want. You don’t have to acquiesce your boundaries. Rewrite your intimacy scripts. Practice speaking up for yourself. Give yourself permission to do it differently.

SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING

“I can’t say when you’ll get love or how you’ll find it or even promise that you will. I can only say you are worthy of it and that it’s never too much to ask for it and that it’s not crazy to fear you’ll never have it again, even though your fears are probably wrong. Love is our essential nutrient. Without it, life has little meaning. It’s the best thing we have to give and the most valuable thing we receive. It’s worthy of all the hullabaloo.” —Cheryl Strayed

You’ve become so used to testing people. Waiting for proof that people are incapable or unwilling to live up to your standards. But there is something honest about admitting that maybe your lofty standards are an attempt to keep people out rather than let the right one(s) in. You’ve become accustomed to saying no as a default. Rejecting first so you can control the outcome. But some heartbreak is worth the risk. For every hurt and scrape you get from putting yourself out there, there is a greater alchemy that happening in your soul. Don’t let your past betrayal keep you from love and relationships. Bounce back, Scorpio, because you are worth all of what love has to offer the heaven and hell, the medicine and heartbreak, all of it.

SAGITTARIUS & SAGITTARIUS RISING

Your relationship with “the job” has been steadily evolving with some necessary upheaval and a bit of luck. With Jupiter and Uranus both retrograding through through your zone of chores, work, service, diet, and exercise, let what is shifting, shift. But don’t skip leg day or the routines that keep you grounded in spite of immense changes and transformations. What are your coping mechanisms, and are they supporting you? You are in a training season of your life, and the goal is not to restrict you but to create a regimen that creates more time and space to do the things that excite you. True freedom is a currency that operates on a realistic perspective and management of time and the resources around you. It’ll take some mastery to keep your budgets balanced so you can take those spontaneous trips. It’s not a zero-sum game, freedom + responsibility equals more choices.

CAPRICORN & CAPRICORN RISING

When was the last time you had FUN? And I’m not talking about diving into your vices, I’m talking about pure, unadulterated childlike play. You have grown up too fast and been responsible for things too early in your life. As you reparent yourself, make time for the things that help you remember how special you are. You are making a home out of your life, and that requires more than professional ambition. It requires recovery from the kind of guilt and control that shaped your earliest years. This lunar eclipse, notice the insights that reveal themselves about some necessary risks that you can take to enjoy yourself. Maybe go on a laser tag date. Plan a fall “cops & robber” game or go apple picking. Do something that reminds you that it is safe to play.

AQUARIUS & AQUARIUS RISING

So much of your work as someone who feels called to revolt against the social norms and structures that shape our lives is following a throughline that has been left for you to go after. To be ahead of your time means to be in tune with deep ancient knowledge and technologies. This full moon takes space to honor the abundance of your ancestors. No matter where your path is leading you, remember your heritage and roots. Notice what insights the lunar eclipse reveals for you in your home/ private life or real estate dealings. Be aware of any shifts in your emotional safety or psychological foundation. What steps do you need to make sure you in control of your emotional world?

PISCES & PISCES RISING

What is the tone of your internal monologue? The full moon in Taurus reveals the state of your self-talk. How are you using your voice in your everyday life? Practice being self-possessed. Your throat is an instrument, and your responsibility to yourself is to master and be in control of the strength and power of your own sounds. If you're a musician, notice what revelations come through about how you can sink deeper into your artistry. It may be worthwhile to take a public speaking class or work with a voice/acting coach. So much of life is working up the courage to do things despite our fear, but this is a moment to own the tremble in your voice.
