Warrior in the Garden. Abrupt liberation. The rupture of something stretched to breaking point. Detoxifying murk. A powerful, regenerative & creative awakening. A fiery sword cutting through corruption & lies. The fierce, protective Feminine principle rising as Warrior of Compassion & liberation.

FULL MOON @ 16° TAURUS ︎, 8th NOV 10:02PM(AEDT). TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE 9:59PM(AEDT).

This potent Venusian lunation is hosted by Venus as Lady Lovefierce deep in the ︎ Scorpion’s cave. She’s in an overcoming square to Saturn, as Saturn squares Uranus, heightening the tension between the old status quo and impulse for innovation.
An exalted Moon in ︎Taurus bursts into a rapturous full bloom minutes before she’s benighted by shadows. Wild Card Uranus holds Lady Lune close as he gleefully sets off fireworks beside the dragon’s head.

As the Moon darkens, the Feminine receives a blow, Her roses are crushed. Dismay. Something is broken - but it needed to break. There’s immense liberation. Release & freedom from crushing a karmic weight.
We have the return of the repressed, a rising up from the Dark.

Our thorny Venus in Scorpio ︎is well-equipped - possibly more than any other - for Her time in the underworld. She absorbs the muck, toxins & psycho-sexual neuroses of the Old dying parts of us, & She rises to this moment of intensity & pressure with gifts of transformation. Darkening & illumination.

Woven with thorns & thunder, Scorpio is the phoenix rising.

Find what matters. Not only material concerns. Gather one true thing to which you might protect & devote yourself. Detoxify & dispense with petty battles & the greed of the Old Systems. Remain steadfast & loyal to your values. Be honourable among women. Rise above the relational aggression & strangeness that’s imbued the Eclipse Season. An historic, weakening plague among women under patriarchy. It’s dead.

Fierce truthfulness, softness, compassion, sensuality, wild grief, love & rage. The world needs all of you - your Shadows no less denied.

You are safe.

Cast no spells now. Be a dervish - ecstatic with the beautiful worlds you are building together. Be with one another generously, creatively. As the glorious @starwitchastrology says: “this is the emancipation of the witches”.

Planets in fixed signs between 13°-19° feel the eclipse more keenly.
