The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse involve the zodiac signs of earthy Taurus and watery Scorpio. These energies combined support emotional depth as well as engaging with life on an experiential level. Taurus is about embodiment, sensory experiences, beauty, and pleasure in the physical world. Scorpio is associated with themes of finding meaning within experiences and going as deep as possible to get to the underlying spirit or truth of a matter. 

 

Eclipses shield some information while allowing other information and themes to rise to the surface. Therefore, some areas of life will take on new and clarifying meaning, while other aspects of a situation can seem more elusive or hidden from view.

 

During this time, you can become more attuned to unique talents, gifts, or abilities you were previously unaware of. Notice what areas of life seem to inspire and drive you to learn more. In the weeks following this eclipse, you can see new things coming together for you and becoming a more tangible part of your life.

The 16th kicks off the start of a heavy dose of Sagittarius energy as Venus enters this sign. Venus symbolizes love, attraction, and beauty and when it is in fiery Sagittarius, we can expect passions – and temperments to run a bit hot.
