ISLAND ASTROLOGER: IT’S ECLIPSE SEASON, BABY!

It’s eclipse season, baby! The intricate choreography of sun, moon and earth carries us into the peculiar light of eclipses every six months, bringing forth extravagant culminations and unexpected beginnings. The light of the full moon is obscured by our planet’s shadow, so everything is not quite what it seems. Respect the mysterious novelties that will come across your path during this time, for they will pull you in the right direction.

Here are your lunar eclipse horoscopes. 

Scorpio
Oct. 24 – Nov. 21

Dear Scorpion, this eclipse calls on you to see yourself reflected in your nearest and dearest. Stand tall in your own self-determination, yet remember that none of us exists in a vacuum. As you begin to feel most individualized, you may feel a yearning for intimate connection with a trusted other. Sit in embodied confidence in who you are while also discovering the invisible parts of yourself in the silvered glass of a dear comrade. 

Sagittarius
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

You have been exploring your secluded, quiet spaces, and this eclipse is asking you to tend to the labor required to create and maintain those spaces. As you learn more about what recharges you and connects you to your center, remember that your peace also requires diligent work. How can you build routines into your life that allow you to drop into reflective solitude more readily? Find the sweat that brings the sweet, Centaur!

Capricorn
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

The supportive people in your life have been coming more and more into the light. I hope you have been acknowledging them. This eclipse is reminding you that you have your own creative offerings to bring into the fold. You are one among many, but you are singular in your visionary gifts. How do you feel unique among the cacophony of your supporters? The greatest gift for those who hold you up is to be your most innovative self. Don’t deny them your beauty!

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

How is your work going? Are you finding some clarity in what you want to do in the public sphere? As you continue to bring your vocation into focus, this eclipse reminds you to balance your work with the maintenance and comfort of home and family. You go be somebody, baby! But don’t forget that a meaningful public life is balanced by an intimate private world. When the work day is done, your home is where you recharge. 

Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20

This eclipse finds you in the study, learning new histories and developing yourself as an authority in your field of inquiry. As you continue to master abstract theories and put them into practice, also trust your immediate intuition. There are many realities to explore, but your moment-to-moment experience is a treasure trove of wisdom. Balance your theories with your intuitive knowing, and you can use this eclipse to step further into your power. You’re a wizard, Pisces!

Aries
March 21 – April 19

Fiery Warrior, you’ve probably been aware of the obligations that hold you to other people, whether they are shared debts or emotional responsibilities. Keep these in mind as you are pledged to your agreements. However, you can only participate if your own ducks are in a row. Put on your own oxygen mask before helping your neighbor. 

Taurus
April 20 – May 20

The spotlight has been turned on your search for your counterpart, Taurus. As you seek the yin to your yang, don’t lose sight of your own flourishing. Your partner, whether in love or in work, will come forth most clearly when you are clear on who you are. Get right with yourself and the right one will come along in simultaneity. The more distinctly you can see yourself, the easier it will be for your companion to find you.

Gemini
May 21 – June 21

As you work out your scheduled routines to keep up with your daily tasks, solitude beckons with the promise of comfort and reflection. Keep pounding away at your to-do lists and find your flow, but remember why you work so hard. Peaceful tranquility is the fruit of an active life, and an organized schedule is the stem that holds that fruit with poise. Whip out those calendars and start planning ahead so you can use your private time to regenerate.

Cancer
June 22 – July 22

You’ve been unleashing your originality, tender Crab, and you are on a roll. Continue to throw yourself into your passion, but don’t lose sight of those who help you along the way. You are surrounded by folks who want you to succeed, and they deserve your acknowledgement. Thank your friends for their continued support because you will want them around when you step away from your drawing table. 

Leo
July 23 – Aug. 22

Been feeling a bit domesticated, have we? You Lions continue to explore the intimate comforts of home and family. As you get in touch with your roots and tend to your homestead, the call to vocation in the collective commons beckons from a distance. Keep getting your house in order because a great purpose invites you beyond the horizon. You will want a familiar place to return to after you venture into the wilds.

Virgo
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Young children are so in touch with the present wonder at the simple experiences that adults might consider trivial, and you have probably been feeling that innocent reverie lately. There is magic in the moment, yet you can harness that magic with more dexterity by being a touch more analytical. In other words, measure twice and cut once. A little bit of distance can help you see what you are doing more clearly.

Libra
Sept. 23 – Oct. 23

Your finances and creature comforts have been in focus lately. Whether you’ve been developing a detailed plan for continued security or realizing where adjustments need to be made, you are getting it together! As you build your own stability, remember that others are relying on you also. Your needs might be a priority, but that doesn’t mean that your shared obligations can be set aside.
