Brace Yourself For Transformational Life Changes Triggered By The Total Lunar Eclipse In Taurus On November 8

This Lunar Eclipse will be the eclipse pairing to the Solar Eclipse in Scorpio which we saw last month. Prepare for your sense of stability to be rocked as this eclipse will be supercharged by Uranus retrograde, amplifying the volatility of this energy. Things will come to a sudden end in the area of your life illuminated by the Lunar Eclipse, triggered by a destructive event that will be shocking but not surprising (looking back, you’ll definitely be able to spot signs that the inevitable has happened).

This eclipse will also present opportunities for you to release the pain you feel about something someone has said to you in the present or past. Keep in mind that you may not hear people as they intended to be heard and instead may interpret their words through the lens of your unhealed wounds or instinctual emotional reactions. Take some time and space away from others if you’re hurt or triggered in conversations, and avoid holding grudges.

Challenges Could Emerge In Your Love Life

Your relationships (platonic and romantic) will be put to the test when Venus — the planet of love, beauty, and attachments — merges with the Lunar South Node in Scorpio on November 2. Problems relating to jealousy, trust, and possessiveness will emerge, and there’s a good chance you've already faced similar battles (either in your current relationships, with a previous partner, or even in a past life). Turn your focus within and consider whether you are granting your best friend, spouse, long-term partner, or business partner the freedom they need to be their own person. There’s a good chance you have yet to heal from a past betrayal, abandonment, or breach of trust, which is causing your subconscious feelings to interfere with the present. Instead of shutting out your feelings and keeping your walls up, dare to be vulnerable with the people who want to love and nurture you.

The dynamic of your partnerships will shift on November 16 when Venus journeys into adventurous Sagittarius. This energy will encourage bold and extravagant displays of affection — just make sure you stick to what you know about your loved ones' love language, or you may not get the reception you anticipated. You may be drawn to new people, friends, and lovers who have a lot to teach you about different skills, subjects, and cultures. Open your heart to new people and experiences, and indulge in the excitement of budding relationships.

Your Motivations Are Under Review

We’re all driven by something, whether it's jealousy and revenge; power, influence, or legacy; a yearning to help, defend, and protect others; or even the restless fear of being ordinary. But how aware are you of your inner desires? Your true motivations will be hard to ignore when the Sun joins forces with the Lunar South Node in ambitious and obsessive Scorpio on November 5. This powerful energy will spotlight your subconscious feelings by making them harder to disguise through your behavior — so you may realize you’ve gotten off track with your work goals and sucked into an unhealthy craving for more money, more material rewards, and more recognition. Similarly, you could discover that someone whom you thought shared your ambitions and vision is really after something else.

Raise your awareness of how your desire for security or perception of wealth, material reward, and fame has distorted your perception of your work and success. You may be under the impression that you’re mediocre or an underachiever because you’re subconsciously competing with and comparing yourself to others. November 5 is the best day to confront the deep-rooted fears causing you to chase goals that aren’t a true reflection of who you are and what you want to do with your life. If you’ve recently lost your sense of motivation, this karmic energy will invite you to explore your perception of failure and how you’ve become stuck in your comfort zone.

The Month Ends With A Boost Of Optimism

The New Moon in Sagittarius will peak on November 23 to support your spiritual growth, healing, and manifestations. New Moons are an omen to new beginnings, and the free-spirited energy of the Sagittarius New Moon will reinvigorate you with optimism, self-belief, and faith in the future you are creating. Jupiter — the planet of expansion and the ruler of Sagittarius — will form a harmonious connection with the New Moon from its position in Pisces. This support from Jupiter will boost your manifesting power, bringing luck to any project or plan that you set in motion on this day. Harness the energy of the Sagittarius New Moon to strengthen your vision of the future. What do you want in life, and what steps can you take today to get closer to your end goals?
