New Moon Solar Eclipse in taurus

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus arrives this Saturday afternoon and officially opens Eclipse season which will culminate with the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on May 16th. Last time we had Eclipse of this saros was in April of 2004. Different events, themes might be similar. 

The axis of Taurus/Scorpio relate to our values, to what we deem as rightfully ours, to the pleasure that we seek and the pain we are so devoted to without even realizing it. This lunation in Taurus reveals to us that pleasure is also a part of death and rebirth process, it is as much a conduit for transformation as is pain. These are the axis of catharsis, of purge and bliss.

The main theme of this Eclipse is learning how to love this earthly existence again, to seek out joy, to break through the idea that struggle is what brings us together, what brings us together is joy of creating the new reality with the values that lift us out of the rut of the past. There is a season for everything, for being immersed in the dark, and for finding our way forward into the light, now we seek light.

With Uranus in close conjunction to this lunation future is on our minds, we know that old value systems are not sustainable, Uranus in the fixed earth sign is revolutionizing the very foundation of our core values and principles, and the loudest voice it shall communicate through to us will be Nature itself. We cannot forget that we have a say in what is of value, and what we say determines the future. There is a shift of resources ( natural and financial) happening as we speak that is nothing like we have seen before.

The dispositor of this Eclipse is Venus in its sign of exaltation in Pisces. Venus just had its conjunction with Neptune and is meeting Jupiter shortly after the New moon. There is a profound sense of renewal of faith and trust through filling ourselves with all that is infinitely beautiful, with the moments of peace, with the knowing that comes through silence and surrender, with art and creativity, with all that is restoring our humanity. Be mindful that the tendency to escape through indulgence is very strong here, choose the source of your pleasure wisely. Happy Solar eclipse, Lovers.
