Taurus The Bull (Apr. 20 May 19) The subject matter has been your personal identity. Who are you becoming and who do you need to be? How do you wish to define yourself before the world? How can you develop an individual identity that is workable while simultaneously maintaining a personally rewarding relationship?
For All Signs Eclipses always occur in pairs. On April 8 we experienced a full solar eclipse. This week on April 24 we will have a penumbral lunar eclipse in the sign of Scorpio at 6:06am, EDT. A lunar eclipse is essentially a strongly punctuated full moon. All those activities normally related to the full moons, such as increased traffic and potential for accidents, general hyperactivity, etc., are double accented. Often eclipsed full moons bring fulfillment or consummation of important affairs in life. Read below to understand the long term meaning of this cycle in your life.
Aries This eclipse series emphasized your need for internal order and self-reflection. You have learned to remain true to your deepest self and hold to faith that time yields the secular opportunities that you need. Streamlining daily routines has been necessary.
Gemini This eclipse series accented personal and financial resources. You have become more understanding about expenditures of time, energy and money. Debts, inheritance, or taxes may have been highlighted. By now you should have eliminated or recycled whatever is no longer useful.
Cancer The accent of this eclipse period has been on travel, education, care of vehicles and relationships to siblings, roommates, neighbors, or others who daily traverse your life. Lifelong habit patterns of thought have required correction. Belief systems of two years ago are cracked and recreating.
Leo Family and property matters have been accented. Problems in relationships, even with the deceased, have surfaced for cleansing and healing. A new family member may have entered the scene. Bringing career into alignment with your true self has been an important focus.
Virgo In recent months you may have experienced intensity through your children or the results of other personally creative births. Both errors and successes in parenting and / or creative work have become apparent. Romance has been intensely emotional and self-revealing.
Libra All levels of maintenance have been important: physical, emotional, and practical. Honing your management systems in personal and work arenas has been necessary to improve the efficiency of the daily work routine. You must balance concerns of recent years with better self-care.
Scorpio The eclipses of this 18-month series have drawn attention to your partnerships. What is your pattern in Significant Relationships? What needs to be repaired or improved? Recapitulation of old habits will simply regenerate the same end result as it always has.
Sagittarius The eclipse pattern of the last 18 months has emphasized issues of sexuality, intimacy, and material accumulation. You are probably more conscious about existential matters related to life, death, and what is on “the other side” of normal, waking consciousness.
Capricorn Legal, ethical or educational issues have been emphasized by the eclipses of this saros cycle. Travel of body, mind, or spirit is accented. Meeting those of different backgrounds has opened your heart and the possibilities of life.
Aquarius There has been emphasis on career, life goals, and community reputation. You may have experienced accolades if you have built a solid foundation. Family members plead for more attention in subtle and overt ways. Property has required repair, rejuvenation, or replacement.
Pisces Community, networking, and developing friendships have occupied a central role during this period. You had lessons to learn about discerning who is truly a friend. This eclipse series brought much to learn in the area of love life and personal creativity.
