Astrology, Tarot and More

There is a strong and powerful T-Square (a dynamic and tense energy) in the skies at the time of the eclipse. The ruler of this eclipse - Venus- is well positioned however.  She is a part of a lovely Grand Trine (a beneficial energy flow) that also includes Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto.

This eclipse can bring some unexpected shake ups and developments, and some unexpected reversals - especially in financial matters. They may be for good OR bad. 

As with all eclipses, the energy is unpredictable but also very, very powerful.  

This New Moon is also a powerful Solar Eclipse! 

Astrologically speaking, the New Moon is the time to set intentions for what you want to attract into your life. And eclipses are very powerful portals. Intentions set on an eclipse can manifest fast, but they can materialize in an unexpected way. If something feels stuck in your life, setting an intention on an eclipse may be just what you need.

If you're not afraid of some twists and turns, today is THE day of the year to let the Universe know that you're ready for happy, harmonious relationships - including romantic relationships.

The stories we tell ourselves are sooo powerful! "I failed yet again. I'm a failure". "Love means sacrifice". "I will never find anyone to love me. There isn't much to love".  We come up with a "story" based on our past, and it starts defining our future.  Often, this means we got locked into a dominant energy signature in our natal chart, expressing its challenging side. But, we are all beautiful and complex, with MANY energies available to us.

Astrologically speaking, the Full Moon is the time to celebrate our successes and progress this lunar cycle.  Give thanks for any and all blessings in your life -  and then release what no longer serves you.
