Taurus New Moon Miniscopes
Taurus New
Moon Miniscopes
Welcoming Ease.
The New Moon is in Taurus 28º on May 19th at 11:53 AM ET. As we prepare for the end of Taurus Season, we are gifted a New Moon that can cleanse and nurture the wounds we faced at the eclipse in Scorpio. We find ourselves out of Eclipse Season and now on new ground. Our Garden of Eden is restored, and we find the snake did not damn us. Instead, it opened the door to see reality, no matter how harsh.
This New Moon links arms with Mars and touches Neptune while reaching out to Pluto. This time, we are no longer limited by fear; instead, we see that we can expand and push beyond the restrictions that were originally placed upon us. Where we walk, flowers bloom. Our roots are solid, and now we reach for the highest heavens.
The Moon is exalted in Taurus, working at its best. Emotionally, we are grounded yet receptive – nourishing the Earth like a river flowing through the valley. Where the water touches, all is refreshed, restored, and renewed. Venus is the leader of this lunation, incubating in Cancer, yet feeling rather neutral, leaving room for healing. Mars and Jupiter speak to one another, bringing action to our intentions and surprising us with how quickly our trees bear fruit for us to eat. Our hard work is paying off; perhaps we can rest our heads in the grass and feel the warm Sun on our faces.
Saturn is stabilizing us, this time with no restraint, as it works with Mercury in grounded Taurus. This meeting of planets will leave us with no shortage of ideas, riffing off of the Mars/Jupiter square – a stark contrast to the experience we had with the recent Lunar Eclipse. Life feels more in flow, leading us to listen to the breeze through the trees and taste the sweetness in the Spring air once more. Seek pleasure and joy, and from this abundance will follow – especially now that Jupiter will tour earthy Taurus.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 23º to 29º or 0º to 3º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.

2nd House | Resources
We are now on the other side of Taurus season, where the attention shifts from your desires to your stability, especially as Jupiter has newly entered Taurus. We are closing out a pivotal time, eclipse season, which has opened new doors of opportunity for you. So, turn your attention to planting what you can, if you can — especially at this New Moon. This is the first major lunation in Taurus that is not an eclipse since late 2021. So there is much to celebrate in this space. Mercury has officially stationed direct and things are going to start moving forward.
This New Moon is in your 2nd House, so your focus can be turned toward resources. Are you being valued for your work? What is your compensation like, even outside of income? Some of you may be looking for a raise, promotion, or change to your financial picture. Use this New Moon to push that forward for you. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, so it is working at its best! Remain grounded in your approach, but charge ahead knowing that you can grow an abundant garden from all that you decide to plant. A major theme around personal value and worthiness may creep up — take the helm of this and own every facet of your talents and your experience.
The Sun and Moon are powerful players as they touch on Pluto, Mars, and Neptune in a positive way. Together, these reciprocal relationships create great harmony around this lunation. A shining star of this New Moon is the newly minted Jupiter in Taurus transit. Consider this the kick of that transit, as it thrusts open the doors of what the year ahead will hold as Jupiter moves through your 2nd House of resources, income, value, and self-worth. Many of you will see a positive change to your resources.
Mercury has been moving in and out of a flowing relationship with Saturn. Mercury will continue to play well with Saturn at this New Moon, suggesting that conversations had will be ones that are inspiring and yield long-term decisions for the better. Think back to early April and what you were discussing or talking about then, this will come back around — especially as Mercury moves through its post-retrograde shadow period.
Use this New Moon to focus on your value and worth. Make changes to how you view money and abundance. Find new or additional resources or income. Above all else, cultivate a better relationship with yourself and your self-worth.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
1st House | Autonomy
Happy New Moon, Taurus! This one can be golden for you! It falls in your sign, and the Moon LOVES being in your sign. It stabilizes the fluctuating energy of the Moon and taps into its nourishing abilities — especially since this one is the first to not be an eclipse since late 2021! Right now, what you should be looking to nourish is yourself.
This lunation falls in your 1st House, bringing you back to your place in this world. Who are you? What do you want? You have been dealing with tough transits from Saturn and Uranus for the last year or so, but now you may have been shedding old skin in order to release what isn’t working for you. This lunation will give you a chance to find what WILL work for you. You get to decide how you live your life and make strides in building a new you. Now is the time to be unapologetically yourself. Celebrate your individuality. Take pride in where you are right now.
The Sun and Moon are truly the peacemakers at this New Moon. They trine Pluto and sextile Mars and Neptune. There is a dreaminess, an ease around this lunation that makes this one of the better New Moons of the year. Things will feel abundant and pleasurable. Truly there is a flow that we have not seen in a while. This is especially true as Jupiter is newly in your sign. You, for the next year, will be gifted golden opportunities. The planet of expansion and growth will ensure that you are ready to break out of your monotony a bit and move into new territory. It is time to steep yourself in all that you desire and embody whatever aspirations you have.
Since early April, Mercury and Saturn have been moving in and out of a harmonious aspect to one another. Now, this aspect perfects at this lunation and begins to separate. Conversations you had then will come up now or find a resolution or next steps. With Mercury playing well with Saturn, you could see a friend or close contact show up for you in a great way! Get out and connect if you can and it is safe for you to do so!
Use this New Moon to get in touch with yourself, your desires, and your motivations. Ask yourself who you want to be. Focus on how you can act on what you want and make space for your goals. It is your turn.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
12th House | Seclusion
Gemini, take time to rest. Please! We are heading into your season shortly, but first, we have the New Moon and the end of the eclipse season. So, you are trying to balance that very full plate of yours. There is a feeling of being run down, tired, and needing space to recollect yourself. Honestly, you need to listen to that feeling!
This New Moon is perfectly positioned in your 12th House, so right now is a time to find a balance in work, pleasure, play, and rest. Work quietly behind the scenes and slow down. You are turning inward and focused on preserving your energy. You know you will be expending a lot of it soon. The 12th House can bring insights that we were not privy to before. So, you may discover information that was hidden from view. Now is a time to listen to your intuition and focus on how to best navigate quietly. If you need a respite, take it! Lean into that ease.
Truly, I can not remark on how beautiful this lunation is. The Sun and Moon will touch on Pluto, Neptune, and Mars so perfectly. There are relationships being built between them that create an ultimate sense of flow around this New Moon. With some of your financial Houses being impacted, you could receive some good news in regard to work, resources, clients, or even work on your own relationship with success. This could not be more true as Jupiter is now in Taurus. For the next year, you will find that you will be shown moments of knowing when and where to let go, surrender, and listen to your intuition. Jupiter will bring gifts and reward the more you lean into your inner sanctum and learn to prioritize your sense of rest and ease. Your spiritual life can and probably will take new heights!
Mercury has been weaving in and out of a longer narrative with Saturn in the last many weeks. Positively so, I should mention. Mercury’s sextile to Saturn at this New Moon will be perfected, pulling you back to conversations or ideas that were happening in early April. There may be a motivating conversation that leaves you feeling recognized, witnessed, or valued. Money could come up as well, and it seems to be focused on deepening your security.
Use this New Moon to bring a chapter to a close. Find space to open new doors and explore possibilities. You can get further in touch with your faith, spirituality, or intuition — possibly even using this to inform and guide you. Most importantly, use this New Moon to give yourself a place to rest, finding peace and resolution in anything that feels that it is pending.

11th House | Vision
We enter the abundant New Moon in Taurus, where you will have endless support. This lunation is unlike many others we have experienced in the last 18 months, it is no longer an eclipse. So this feels, in so many ways, like a fresh start. So many aspects align to make this New Moon a powerhouse with added excitement!
With this lunation hanging out in your 11th House, you will be looking at your connections and friends as a way to help you feel valued and supported. You may even just want to catch up with people, feeling a little more social than normal. The Moon, your ruler, will be in exaltation, bringing you emotional grounding. You are realizing that community is becoming increasingly important to you, and you may be trying to find where you want to align yourself. Budding friendships become lasting ones, and old friends are showing up left and right. Bask in this! People are showing you love, and you deserve that. Support seems like magic — and abundance is found in community. Nurture those reciprocal relationships. Because the 11th Hosue deals with hopes and dreams, it feels that something is coming to light in a whole new way — and this may even be in relation to your future. Maybe you are being asked to shift your priorities to make way for something more exciting!
The Sun and Moon play nicely with Pluto, Mars, and Neptune. They all together create an intricate web of flowing energy that extends out beyond them. There’s a natural ease at this lunation that has not been seen in a while. You will find that you are quite motivated around this New Moon, and that will set the tone for the weeks to come. Jupiter has also freshly moved into Taurus. This supple energy helps you grow your network, your long-term visions, and your sense of community. For the next year, you will meet the right people at the right time, and you will be given the chance to engage in true reciprocity. It is time to share your gifts with the world!
Mercury and Saturn have been talking to one another on and off for the last many weeks, moving in and out of a sextile. Think back to the Full Moon in Libra that was on April 6th. Whatever you were discussing then will come back around now, but this time with a resolution and a long-term plan. You will feel more grounded in your decisions.
Use this New Moon to focus on community and ways that you can use your innate talents to help others. Find networks and groups that you can connect with and re-establish bonds with friends. Possibly even throw your partner into the mix or start a new relationship (romantically, business-wise, or even platonically).

Leo & Leo Rising
10th House | Drive
This season had you working hard! However, there may have been points of refining and reflecting, especially as Mercury had stationed retrograde. But now that we are out of this retrograde and eclipse season, you are starting to see things a bit more clearly.
This New Moon will bring you to new heights! It falls in your 10th House, so you have the chance to plant seeds in your career or make important moves in your life. You are becoming more aware of your direction and what you want! With the Moon in exaltation, you are fully supported in your efforts, too! Nothing is in vain. The right people are taking notice. If you do change jobs or careers, you may find that the work you want to do will be something completely different or distinct. Perhaps that is the change you want, too! Alternatively, some of you may make discoveries about your passions that drive you into a new field or up the ladder into a new role/position. Whatever it is, a career or work-related matter seems to be at the forefront of your mind.
This dose of goodness in your career, legacy, and professional life doesn’t end at this New Moon. If anything, it only just begins. Jupiter has now entered this part of your chart, where you will see exponential growth in your work in the coming year. Recognition will not be hard to come by, nor will a sense of satisfaction in your own creations. Whatever you want to be known for, you will start to see those pieces come together. This lunation has extra support, as well. It reaches out to Mars, Neptune, and Pluto — creating an ocean of flowing energy around us. You will see that nothing is as hard as it seems, and in some ways, some obstacles may be brought down.
Think back to around April 6th and the days around it. Since then we have had Mercury and Saturn moving in and out of a positive relationship with one another. This relationship perfects on this New Moon, making this a chance to crystalize and solidify what we have been doing for the last few weeks. Consider this a space of longevity and perhaps empowerment.
Use this New Moon to focus on your career goals and your direction in life. Realign yourself with what you want and let go of what is not worth your energy. If you walk away from a job, a new one is just around the corner. If you choose to rise through the ranks, you are being noticed. Ask for what you deserve.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
9th House | Expansion
You are reaching new heights! You have recently taken a leap of faith, and you know that there is no way you can go back now! This New Moon may not be an eclipse, but it is one that opens doors of opportunity and creates possibility — a portal into something new. For you, in particular, you will see that obstacles that were once present begin to dissipate. Perhaps this is a change of perspective or maybe roads starting to open for you.
With this New Moon in your 9th House, you are actively growing and trying new things! You are taking the experience you have had and applying it future-forward. Now is a time to be bold and optimistic about the journey that lies ahead. The Moon will make sure that you are grounded in your approach while remaining open to the beautiful changes that life can bring! Flexible structures. Here, you will see that your world is shifting. The 9th House is about limitless potential. You realize the world truly is your oyster in this realm, and you can make what you want out of it. You will likely see your goals more clearly than you have in a long time and thus change your priorities in achieving them. Nothing is too far out of reach. All it takes is a little faith.
Jupiter’s entrance into Taurus will help this along. For the next year, it will support you in any decisions you make that allow you to reach beyond your current limitations. This is no time to make yourself small, instead, you can dream big — and know it can come to fruition. Jupiter gifts ease wherever it sits, and in the 9th House, this is the ease of achievement, travel, and growth. You will feel abundant when you do things a little differently. The New Moon is incredibly supported by Pluto, Neptune, and Mars. So you will find that the energy around this lunation is much softer and more jubilant than the last few we have had. Really sit with this and soak it up. Enjoy the tender moments.
Your ruler, Mercury, has been in an on-and-off relationship with Saturn since early April. This perfects at this New Moon, solidifying what you have been working on for the last month or two. There may be a sense of closure, excitement, and commitment. With Saturn in your 7th House, someone may really show up right now. Don’t be bashful. Accept whatever comes your way. Collaboration and co-creation will be beneficial. Partnered relationships will also see a boost at this time!
Use this New Moon to expand your horizons, go back to school or even take a trip (safely). You can explore new spiritualities or politics, redefining your morals and ethics — but this requires letting go of old ones. You make the call. You decide what your big picture looks like. Leap into a new phase of your life.
Libra & Libra Rising
8th House | Recuperation
We are in the ending stages of an eclipse series that impacts your finances and resources. You may have been taught lessons but also gifted opportunities around value, worth, and shared resources. As we finish out this cycle, you will see that a large part of this experience is to provide a sense of closure and conflict resolution. New pathways that you had not expected will open up.
The New Moon is in your 8th House, opening doors for resources that have been untapped or previously hidden. This could be emotional or material. Some of you may find out about an unexpected gain, whether through you or a partner, perhaps an inheritance, or some sort of windfall. Alternatively, you may find that you are working toward paying off debts and feeling more secure — that you don’t owe anything to anyone. This could also apply to how you feel about emotional debts, almost washing your hands of old situations or people that no longer serve you. This lunation may also bring about a transformation. One that has been a long time coming. In some ways, it will feel like a re-emergence — a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with shadows that have sat beneath the surface. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
With the New Moon at a good angle to Pluto, Neptune, and Mars, there is a sense that things are flowing — easier than they have been. In many ways, some of the fears or scarcity you’ve had around resources are starting to shift into a more abundant mindset. This could not be more true as Jupiter begins to enter Taurus, this occurs just days before the New Moon. For the next year, you will see quite a bit of growth in the space of your healing, intimacy, and inner power. As well as, recognizing new financial opportunities with you or even a partner. Some of you may see this in the form of a bonus, payout, inheritance, or debt relief!
Mercury and Saturn have been supportive of one another over the last few weeks, and they perfect their sextile on the day of this New Moon. There can be a sense of long-term influence and a more grounded approach, especially in regard to your work, health, and daily routines. You may even find that there is a call here to be softer with yourself. Perhaps with you and your body. Movement focused on ease will serve you best now.
Use this New Moon to explore your sexuality and your intimacy. Release old baggage and let go of fears that stand in the way. Find alternative resources and apply for grants, mortgages, and loans! It’s time to transform your outlook. It is time to call back your power! Healing, grieving, and shadow work are a must now.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
7th House | Inclusion
You have been one of the two stars of the last year. The eclipse series has been sitting in your sign and your polarity, creating waves and pathways that were not present to you before. You may have seen your life change in ways you had not expected. Some of you may have taken on more autonomy and independence and/or changed how you engage in your relationships. Others have seen growth opportunities and significant relationships strengthen. Whatever it is, there has been a flowing exchange of energy that has led to massive personal growth.
Now, a New Moon enters your 7th House. You will likely see dynamics shift between you and someone you are close with. Some of you may dissolve broken or irreparable relationships, others will get closer — forming impenetrable bonds. You are seeing the value in the give and take and understanding your boundaries in a new way. If you are seeking out a new relationship, it is likely you will find it. Alternatively, the relationship you’re working on could be one with yourself. Sometimes we think that we need to find “wholeness” through others and forget that we are whole on our own. So, consider this New Moon an exploration of what you need, deserve, and desire. Understanding your boundaries and seeing how you fit into the picture will be pertinent. With the Moon exalted, it seems that sharing a part of your life with others can be very reassuring and grounding. You don’t need to be mysterious all the time. Find even just a few people you trust and open up. Receptivity is huge now.
This message is driven home and will extend out beyond the days surrounding this New Moon. Jupiter has just recently entered Taurus and this area of your chart. For the next year, you will find more ease and softness in your relationships. For many of you, some golden opportunities may bring you much closer to those you love, respect, and/or admire. Pluto, Neptune, and Mars are all very helpful at this New Moon. They give you a lens into how Jupiter in Taurus will be. The positive exchanges leave you feeling undeniably supported and looking to share and give that support back. People are showing up for you.
Mercury and Saturn have been very helpful for the last few weeks. Each has been working well with one another on and off. At this lunation, their harmonious aspect will be perfect. You will feel more willing to take a risk because of the support you have. Focus on commitments and sharing special moments around this time as much as possible. You can build long-term joys and practices that focus on daily happiness and creativity.
Use this New Moon to focus on the relationships in your life. This isn’t just romantic, but also in business or with family/friends. You may need to change your view on support and allow yourself to let others in. You are forging/deepening really important relationships now. Let them grow, and in turn, help you grow.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
6th House | Nourishment
Knowing your limits can be important. This month you you were tasked with closing doors, learning to be better to your body, and focusing on the things in your immediate present. You have been taught the value of your needs and the difference between service/sacrifice. We can’t save everyone, or really anyone, other than ourselves.
This New Moon falls in your 6th House. Here, you are told to prioritize yourself more. Your health, work, daily life, and routines all fall in this area of your chart. You may have seen major changes in this more mundane setting, yet you may not have realized how impactful the small shifts have been. This lunation opens a door of opportunity for you (or even several), where you can take more risks with work, find better solutions for your health, and retake control of your life. Consider this a chance to organize the chaos. You are settling into new routines, so be mindful of what you begin. You can kick old habits and start new exercise regimens. The call is to bring your physical self to the forefront. Alternatively, some of you may see the lunation manifest through your work environment with co-workers, your job tasks, or even the job itself.
Jupiter will support the endeavours you begin at this New Moon for the next year. It will travel this part of your chart, helping you expand and grow how you take care of yourself. From a work perspective, you may see a lot of clients coming in. If you have been battling a health issue, that will start to shift or find a better form of treatment in the coming year. Neptune, Pluto, and Mars all support this New Moon, giving you a lens into what Jupiter in Taurus may bring for you.
Mercury and Saturn have been very helpful to one another. It seems that you are making major strides on the work front and health front. You could also be getting recognition or seeking to find balance in your routines. A work project is going very well, and it may surprise you to see how positive the outcome is. If the work project has seen setbacks these will change as Mercury and Saturn will ensure that there is a sense of closure around it.
Use this New Moon to lean into better health practices. Focus on achieving work/life balance and open yourself up to different work opportunities. Make changes to your routines and get organized! Take credit where you deserve it and never undercut your value. Rest where and how you can.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
5th House | Optimism
It is time to restore your sense of optimism! This New Moon comes in to remind you that life can be fun and playful! Over the last year, you have learned the value of personal joy and collective happiness. Now, as this New Moon ushers in a new pathway, you can walk forward in a more focused manner.
The New Moon will highlight the area of your chart that rules play, joy, happiness, pleasure, love, and creation. This is about leading with your heart, listening to that inner child, and making time for more fun in your life. This is very welcomed. This lunation reminds us that life is something to experience. You can manifest your heart’s desires into reality, simply by taking more risks on yourself. What makes you happy? What do you love? This is a time to explore new ways to play and seek out pleasure. Let loose. Because this is a place of creation, some of you may be creating something entirely new: a project, art, music, relationship, or even the conception of a child. Alternatively, consider this New Moon a chance for you to sit in the spotlight a bit. It is ok to be recognized for your efforts and to celebrate your successes.
Jupiter will take this to new heights as it enters this area of your chart for the next year. You will find that one of the easiest places in your life will be in choosing joy. If you have been hoping to start anything, Jupiter will support you. If you have been wanting to let loose more, lean into it! The world is your oyster for the next 12 months. Pluto, Mars, and Neptune will all be helpful at this New Moon. You can see that they are showing you the flow and ease that can exist when you reprioritize your sense of happiness and creativity. Opt to circulate and meet new people around this lunation. You will be glad you did!
Additionally, this New Moon really does seem to show you how social you can be. Mercury and Saturn are in a positive aspect, having chased each other one and off for the last few weeks. They will perfect their sextile, welcoming a long-term commitment you can make that invites you to play, play, play! Your child self is calling. Are you answering?
Use this New Moon to stand in your light and unapologetically shine. Create, connect, and conceive! You have the chance to make internal waves and question your doubts. Resilience is yours. Reignite that spark.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
4th House | Safety
The last year has seen major changes to your internal and external worlds. Since the last eclipse series had fallen in fellow fixed signs (Taurus and Scorpio), it had been impacting your 4th and 10th Houses. After what feels like a cycle of constant evolution and change – you can now start a new phase in your 4th House.
The 4th House rules family, home, roots, and your emotional foundations. Here, the New Moon will turn your attention to these areas. Perhaps you are looking to do some work around the house — renovations or redecorating. Maybe you are just on a house hunt overall, looking for new places to call home. Some of you may be finding more quiet time or family time while seeking solitude after a busy few months. Whatever it is, you are bringing it all back to your center. Home is where the heart is. Family could take a central focus as there may be changing dynamics in this area of your life. Over the last 6 months, you have been redefining what family truly is, or means to you. You have been putting down stronger roots and really focusing on your emotional well-being. This New Moon tells you all of that work isn’t for nothing. You can rejoice in the power you have called back and honor the peace you have created.
If you have been looking to do home-related work, know that this New Moon isn’t your only chance. Jupiter has now entered this part of your chart, where it will bring you a swift bit of good luck for the next year. You can see significant shifts in your home and family life for the better! If you have been considering some ancestral work and deepening your roots, this would be the opportune time. Even at this New Moon, there is a ton of support. Pluto, Neptune, and Mars are all in a good aspect to the Sun and Moon, showing you the flowing ease that will be invited through Jupiter in Taurus.
Mercury and Saturn have been working together on and off since early April. At this lunation, they will perfect their harmonious aspect. If things had been moving slowly for the last few weeks, you can start to see some closure. Additionally, you may find yourself looking to make more long-term commitments in regard to home life. If you are hoping to sign paperwork for a mortgage, put a place up for sale/rent, or buy something, this sextile of Mercury and Saturn will be ideal!
Use this New Moon to focus on your roots and foundations. Connect with family, chosen or given. Make changes to your living space and get in touch with your emotional well-being. Sit in the nostalgia but don’t get lost there. Tomorrow is a new day.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
3rd House | Adaptability
Your head is filled with so many great ideas! This New Moon is one that creates possibility — a doorway into something new. You could find yourself at a crossroads with multiple avenues to go down. Alternatively, you may find yourself faced with needing to use your voice more — perhaps being flexible in ways that you had not been before.
The New Moon falls in your 3rd House where you are tasked to learn, adapt, and integrate. This is about how you communicate not only what you are saying — but also what you are hearing. Part of shifting your perspective comes through dialogue and the conversations that you have with others. Your voice is your power. Now, it is time to learn how to use it. Through the 3rd House, we learn to express ourselves and say what is on our minds. Sharing is an integral part of your personal exploration — and how you choose to share is important. There can be a feeling of people inundating you with messages around the New moon. Perhaps you may hear some news that you have been waiting for! You can start a new journey for yourself by applying the skills you have in new ways. Your local community will figure strongly, especially those close to you. They are here to uplift you and support you, but they won’t know what you need unless you tell them. Asking for help isn’t weak – especially if it is meant to help you grow.
Jupiter will support you in the next year, too, in this area of your chart. If you need to formalize a contract, agreement, or relationship, you will be in luck! Jupiter will bestow great opportunities for writing, connecting, and communicating. You will see a whole world open up for you! This abundance will be prevalent on this New Moon, too. Especially as Neptune, Pluto, and Mars all support this lunation and create this beautiful ease. You will find that you will not be at a loss for words.
If you are hoping to make a long-term commitment to something, this New Moon has your back. Mercury and Saturn have been working together on and off since early April. If you have been slow to get anything off the ground, that will change on this New Moon. These two planets will be perfecting their aspect and bringing a sense of completion to something you may have been waiting for.
Use this New Moon to find your voice again. Speak up on what you believe in, and listen to those around you. Conversation and communication will be important now. Write your ideas down and start finding the motivation to put these thoughts into motion!

Scorpio Lunar Eclipse Miniscopes
Scorpio Lunar
Eclipse Miniscopes
A Phoenix Rising.
The Lunar Eclipse is in Scorpio 14º on May 5th at 1:34 PM ET. Taurus Season is known for its fresh, lush landscape, perfect for creating a foundation for growth and abundance. However, below the earth lies a slow-burning fire at the core that can’t be ignored. This is the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse. There is a connection between Taurus and Scorpio that is often overlooked; they are polarities. Where Taurus can be fixated and stable, Scorpio brings in a sense of change and clears out the old to make way for the new. We can’t have one without the other, as release sets the stage for what’s to come.
We reflect the dichotomy of our natures with a Full Moon: the internal & external, intimate & exposed. This lunation in particular is an eclipse – illuminating uncertainties in our lives and forcing us into a place of change. Eclipses show us the truth. When we see things for what they are, there is no mistaking. However, as the dust is swirling around us from this influx of energy, we must step back and see the big picture. What is really happening here? How does this relate to my life overall? In a Lunar Eclipse, someone or something may be eclipsed out of our lives.
Uranus will be in a hard angle to this Eclipse, pushing us to seek liberation and change from the inside out. It will be coaxing the Scorpion from its lair and forcing up its defenses. Luckily, Mars, the leader of this Full Moon, will be supportive. It will be in compassionate Cancer. Although this is not always an ideal placement for Mars, it can remind us that our energy lies in our ability to live confidently in our vulnerabilities. This message is reinforced by the Scorpion’s need to expose our fears and break down the phobias that keep us from fully unearthing our potential.
This eclipse will make us dig in the gardens of our past to rediscover pieces of ourselves. Mercury invites us to reflect and step back to see what we have growing right in front of us. Even if fresh flowers are blooming, know that the further we go, the more room the roots have to grow.
Pluto finds its way into a perfecting square to Jupiter, reminding us that we must embrace the Scorpio energy of this lunation. Transformation occurs when we embrace the power within and take control of every facet of our being —no matter how shadowed, how deep, or how misunderstood.
Let go, to grow. Release to Rise. The Phoenix has been awakened.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 9º to 19º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.

8th House | Cycles
We are now in the midst of eclipse season, where changes are swift and inevitable. You can think of an eclipse as a cosmic broom and dustpan. It comes to sweep away what is no longer working. This is the end of a cycle – one that has focused on Taurus/Scorpio and will finish out this year. This is the final Scorpio Lunar Eclipse of the said series, meaning that some things may need to end in order for new ones to begin.
As the Moon reaches fullness, it will shine a light on your 8th House. This is an area of your chart that rarely sees the light of day. Here, the focus is on all you share intimately with others — your resources, your emotional nature, your fears, and your healing. There is a call to get deep and reflect on your path up until this point. The 8th House points to cycles, and in many ways, you will be ending and beginning new cycles. Your resources will be in question or come to mind — in a material sense and otherwise. You are asked to share more deeply with those you trust and open up, especially when you find yourself in a place of fear and uncertainty. The 8th House exposes all that sits below the surface. It’s time to swim in the deeper waters. In some ways, this eclipse will feel like a re-emergence — a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with shadows that have sat beneath the surface. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
Uranus opposes the lunation, throwing thunderbolts of electricity from your 2nd House. You could be facing self-confidence or self-worth issues. Maybe this creates doubt in how you expend your energy. Alternatively, you could be battling something financial around this Full Moon that is making it harder to keep your cool. There could be an unexpected bill, or maybe a dream/idea comes at a cost. Uranus is a wildcard, and it is hard to see how it may play out. Expected the unexpected.
Luckily, Venus will bring a softer edge to this eclipse as it reaches out to Jupiter. Its influence is one that allows for reception and attraction. Venus will ease the tensions that the eclipse may bring overall. A place of power and peace can come from you being more open and willing to cultivate important dialogue with those around you.
Mars and Neptune are in a very harmonious position at this lunation. They collectively bring a sense of awareness around an ending or an area that may need closure in your life. Mars leads this Full Moon, and it helps to give you the gusto you need to start bringing something to a close. The endings are not bad. Instead, it feels much like something that you have been meaning to review or reflect on for a while. This is especially true as Mercury retrogrades during this eclipse. Take time to consider where you could use some proper closure. Remember that oftentimes, closure is internal more than anything.
Use this Full Moon to break bad habits. Shine a light on the shadows in your life and face your fears. Open up about things more intimately with people you trust and allow others to more deeply support you. Reframe your financial picture and focus on ways to alleviate a scarcity mindset. Even as the material resources may ebb and flow, there will be plenty of opportunity for a fresh start. Reclaim your power. This is only the beginning.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
7th House | Harmony
The tides change, and the focus will shift during your season. This ecliptic cycle is coming to a close. Of course, eclipses are potent energetic portals that bring sweeping changes in our lives. They come and go in waves, and some will feel more powerful than others. Soon we will see them finish in your sign and your polarity. So, expect to see important shifts in you and your relationships with others.
This eclipse will be lighting up your 7th House. How you relate to others is what comes to mind here. The 7th House rules partnerships — platonic, romantic, business, familial, and otherwise. So you could bring a close relationship to an end or have it taken to the next level. In some ways, the ball is in your court. Alternatively, you may be asked to see more of another person’s point of view. Maybe there have been misunderstandings with someone you care about — now is really your chance to find peace, resolution, and unity together. Whatever comes of this eclipse, just know that boundaries will change and dynamics will end, but new ones will be brought in their place.
There may be hiccups as Uranus sits in opposition. Uranus is sitting in your 1st House, creating waves for the last few years. You have been finding new ways to change how you approach your identity and motivations. This is about freeing yourself from past versions of yourself. Because of the tension between the Full Moon and Uranus, one of the freedoms must be around external validation and worries about perception. Uranus will create surprises, so watch people’s behavior. Don’t try to control what or who you can’t. We just have to go with the flow with this Full Moon.
On a positive note, Venus will make things easier in this eclipse. It reaches out to Jupiter. There can be a desire to focus more on standing strong in your values and worth. Be proud of the person you are becoming. Venus is your ruler, and you will feel its impact more than most.
Now, Mars and Neptune are very helpful at this lunation. They work well from your social houses. Friends, connections, and those around you seem to be willing to aid you. Mars leads this lunation and welcomes the chance for you to find power in community and communication. Maybe you need to reconnect with someone or a group you have not spoken to in a while. You may be needed, or they could help you in your time of need. Mercury retrogrades at this eclipse, bringing up pieces of the past and asking you to reflect and reconnect. Your value and worth will be re-iterated to you by those you keep close. Don’t be too afraid to ask for help if you need it.
Use this Full Moon to focus on the others in your life. Figure out the dynamics and how you show up to your relationships — and how the other people show up for you, too. This is all about the two-way street. You could have to make decisions or find a conclusion. Create boundaries where necessary and allow for the right relationships to flourish for you. You are on the brink of so much change.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
6th House | Ritual
As we shift from one eclipse to the next, you will start to feel the weight you have been carrying lift a little more. This Full Moon will continue the Taurus/Scorpio cycle that we will finish at the end of the year. This series will highlight some of the changes you have already been making since November 2021. However, you may be asked to dive a little deeper.
The Full Moon will be bright in your 6th House, where your health, daily routines, and even work will come into play. You are faced with ways to reschedule your life and create better rituals and regimens. If you have been dealing with health issues, this is not a time to sweep that under the rug. You will have to face the facts and get the answers you need. Some of you could be trying to be healthier or just find the balance between work and life. You will be busier than normal around this eclipse, so care for yourself. If people try to overstep your boundaries, you have the power to let them know. Your workplace will likely be going through changes — try not to internalize them or bite off more than you can chew. If you work for yourself, consider how much you can realistically take on right now.
Perhaps you have been overthinking things lately or just not focusing – thus scattering your energy into too many things. The Full Moon is opposed to Uranus, creating tension. Uranus sits in your 12th House. You are trying to talk things out, but you aren’t being heard. The 12th House rules all that’s hidden: secrets, dreams, subconscious energy, and even endings. Emotions will run high at this Full Moon, but know with Uranus in the 12th House like this, it will bring an ending. Maybe it is time to finally let go of something or someone in your life. Uranus wants you to trust your intuition more than anything.
Venus will make things easier in this eclipse, however. It reaches out to Jupiter. It smooths over anything that may come up. There is a sense that valuing yourself, your desires, and your needs should take precedence. Jupiter shows a support system as you show up more authentically.
Mars and Neptune work well this eclipse from your 2nd and 10th Houses. It seems that others may not fully see what you are working through, but there is a strong sense of motivation to make a dream come to fruition. Mars leads this eclipse, and it finishes its transit through Cancer. You could find out some really good financial news in the weeks following this eclipse. Alternatively, you could see yourself rethinking how to spend your time and resources. This may require some self-reflection and re-imagining of what those resources even means to you.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your health and body. Take control of the details and mind the little things. Create better boundaries with work and cultivate a work/life balance. Seek a job change or shift in responsibilities if you are not happy with what you are doing. Find new clients if you work for yourself and implement.
Cancer & cancer Rising
5th House | Joy
We know that change is inevitable. It comes with sweeping gestures that push us in one direction or another. To see the power in change as a potential new beginning shifts our mindset. Eclipses are known to bring swift and “chaotic” energy that blossoms into a fresh start. Sometimes, this happens within the 18-month cycle, and sometimes it happens during a 4-week period. Either way, we know that things are about to gain momentum, especially as this lunar eclipse begins to culminate.
We see the Full Moon shine a light on your 5th House, a place of creativity, conception, expression, love, and children. This is an area of joy and pleasure. So, what makes you happy? You could be reflecting on how to bring more fun into your life and opening yourself up to new adventures. You feel ready now. However, this means repairing the relationship you have with your self-image. Why shy away from the spotlight? You deserve space as much as anyone else. To allow yourself to be seen is to be proud of who you are. Don’t hide for the sake of someone else’s perceptions. If you are looking to conceive an idea, a project, a child, or a relationship, let this Full Moon help you. It takes a level of risk to make it happen, but what do you have to lose? You are becoming more aware of your ability to manifest your desires into reality.
Uranus is creating activity and little tension from your 11th House. It seems that a friend, relationship, or dream is being questioned. They could be depleting your resources (emotional and financial), as well as having you think about the longevity of it all. If it is a dream, maybe you are trying to figure out how to fund it. Well, with Uranus — inspiration can come! If it is a friend or relationship, Uranus is much more unpredictable. It is hard to figure out the outcome, but know you must have open and honest communication. The 11th House, where Uranus is, rules the future. So, your future is coming into focus and something needs to be addressed that impacts that. It will take some tact and maybe overcoming the fears you hold to help you see things through. At times, all we need is a little trust fall.
Venus will add ease to this lunation. It reaches out to Jupiter. Venus will look for softness and serenity now as it sits in your 12th House. You could be doing something behind the scenes that you are proud of, but may not be able to share just yet. This positive reception to Jupiter in the 10th says that whatever it is will be very beneficial to your career, life direction, and/or personal legacy.
Mars and Neptune are also quite helpful at this eclipse, luckily. They bring harmonious energy to the Moon from your 1st and 9th Houses. There is a possibility of you needing to take a risk, or feeling motivated to leave an unhealthy dynamic. Mars leads this Full Moon and tells you to seek adventure — acting from a place of personal desire. Once you take a leap of faith, you may gain the clarity and closure you seek. Mercury retrogrades, so it seems that your mind will revisit an area of your life that you have left unresolved. Maybe part of that leap of faith is tying up that loose end and having the courage to do so.
Use this Full Moon to play, create and get in touch with your inner child. Repair the relationship with your self-image and feel more confident in how you express yourself. Open your heart up and show people what you are made of. Take new risks and really put yourself out there. This is a time to be seen and take up room like you never have before. You are worthy of this.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
4th House | Foundation
We are now submerged into eclipse season, and with this comes a full wave of activity. However, for you, things are a bit different. You are craving quiet, stability, and emotional peace. Eclipses can bring swift change, and for you, this may come on the Homefront. Given the power of an eclipse, it may not be comfortable – but it will be for the best. This is the continuation of the Taurus/Scorpio ecliptic cycle and one that we will finish up by the end of this year. Family, home, sanctuary, space, and your emotional past will come into play during this time.
Your 4th House is lit up at this eclipse, where you see changes in your family and home. There can be dynamics that alter. You could be confronted to deal with your past and find peace with your memories — even if they were hard. The 4th House is about emotional foundations, and it is from here that everything is built. Stabilizing this part of your life allows for the security you seek. Some of you may bring in new members of the family, change your living space, or even update your decor. You are being asked to take control of this private part of your life. Home is where the heart is, and you have to ensure that your heart is safe and protected.
Uranus creates electricity from your 10th House. There is something going on at work. There could be a restructure, a surprise, or a change in your career, office, work — or even in your own life direction! You may be questioning your vocation or might need to reframe your perspective to align with where you want to be. This could encompass working for yourself, changes to your personal life, or even a promotion. But whatever it is, Uranus is definitely bringing a call for attention — and possibly action. Know if something comes to an end, there will be something new that comes just as quickly. Uranus is the liberator, so you could be freeing yourself from the confines of your work and moving into a new field entirely (whether by your own accord or not). But it is unpredictable, so we have to roll with the punches with Uranus.
Venus will add ease to this lunation. It sextiles Jupiter in a harmonious aspect. You are valuing your community more. Your willingness to explore, travel, and seek is only met with the joy you find in those who share this same sentiment. Moments of pleasure unfold when you surround yourself with people who truly see you for who you are.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also very helpful at this eclipse. They sit in your 12th and 8th Houses, bringing a willingness to find some quiet. You may actively decide to do something that betters your healing or break a specific cycle/habit that no longer serves you. Mars leads this lunation, and it could even make you feel like you need to slow down, sewing things up behind the scenes. Mercury retrogrades in your 10th at this eclipse, so this would be a powerful time to reconnect with people from your work’s past. There may be good opportunities for you there.
Use this Full Moon to bring it all back home. Spend time with your family. Redecorate or reorganize your home. Prepare yourself for a move or a change in the home/family front. Focus on your emotional well-being and tend to places where you feel more vulnerable. Create stability in the quiet and make time for personal reflection. You redefine your peace and carve out space for you to process how you feel. Your foundations are changing.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
3rd House | Teach
You may be wary about using your voice, but sometimes speaking up can be the greatest tool we have to reclaim our power, peace, and freedom. You will be changing how you use this tool over the next few months, especially as we continue this eclipse series with this Full Moon in Scorpio. The stories you have been told change, especially as you are the one who will write the next chapter. Your flexibility will be tested, which will be a testament to your growth.
The eclipse comes to shine brilliantly on your 3rd House. You will feel as if your phone is ringing off the hook. It seems that a lot of people are contacting you and trying to get ahold of you. The 3rd House rules communication, so dialogue is going to be very important now. Watch what you say and how you say it, and listen to what others are saying as well. You could be signing a contract or need to make something more official. Whatever it is, you are busier than you have been in a while —and it seems that it is coming from all sides. This is also a space for learning, adapting, and integrating. In this House, we find power through words and through what we learn in daily life. Perhaps you are being asked to be more proactive and take more control of your daily affairs. Scheduling and organizing will be helpful.
Uranus is sitting in your 9th House opposing this eclipse, so you could be questioning your next leap in life — your next steps. Your goals and future are being reflected upon. Perhaps you are trying to find new ways to grow and this requires a shift in perspective. Morality and education will come up here. You will have to take a stance on something you believe in and not be afraid to share this viewpoint with others…even if it upsets them. You may also be facing a crisis of consciousness, trying to learn to have faith, even when you may doubt yourself.
Venus will add ease to this lunation. It reaches out to Jupiter. Here it gives you a good amount of visibility and positive validation on the work front. You are being seen right now. With Jupiter’s help, you may receive an attractive offer or an opportunity could come up, as well.
Mars and Neptune are also very helpful at this lunation, luckily. They are showing you a level of support that is unmatched from your 11th and 7th Houses. A partner, close friend, or relationship in your life is giving you some much-needed peace and clarity. Mars leads this lunation, so there could be some positive influences from your inner circle or friend group. Perhaps someone in your life will come in and support you, taking the lead without a word — especially if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed or in need of a break. Lean into this and allow them to show up for you. Alternatively, ask for help — people will show up in droves.
Use this Full Moon to work on your dialogue. Use your voice as a tool for change and growth. Speak up and talk about what is happening below the surface. Establish strong relationships with those you trust and take a leap of faith on the things you believe in. Discern anxiety vs intuition and find peace in knowing you are still working toward what you want — even if it feels unclear. Perfection is unfolding. Right now, you have to address today to get to tomorrow.
Libra & Libra Rising
2nd House | Accumulation
We are now fully in the embrace of Eclipse Season. Eclipses are like cosmic dustpans and brooms, they come in to shake things up and then clean up. This is to rattle any complacency and stagnation. They create a swell of energy. Lunar eclipses, in particular, like this one, are very illuminating. They shine a light on problem areas or things that need to be addressed. Perhaps something is coming to a climax. This eclipse continues the Taurus/Scorpio series — one that focuses on your resource sector.
You may find that you have changes to your values, self-worth, resources, or assets. There can be a call to open yourself up more – but also to find stable ground to stand on. This eclipse brings an awareness to your 2nd House of ownership, income, value, and worth. It may be time to visit the values and traditions you hold. Do they still align with you personally? Have you outgrown certain views? This is ok. With the 2nd House, we stabilize our identity from the 1st House, thus we have to be ok with evolving our view of the world and everything around us. You alternatively could have changes to your income and financial picture or need to address what you truly have ownership of in your life. The eclipse will highlight where you could improve. This may come as a result of some valuable insight(s) you receive.
Uranus is in your 8th House of intimacy, shared resources, and healing — opposing this lunation. There needs to be a bit of a death…metaphorically of course. An outdated idea or mentality has to go so that you can actually achieve a dream. This also requires that you get intimate with yourself and others. Are you sharing the deepest parts of yourself? Do people know what is really going on behind the scenes? You can’t hide forever, and Uranus will have you feeling electric as you are itching to break out of your own skin. You have to be willing to confront your shadows or your demons. Seeking counsel will be important— even if it is just from a friend. You have to get out of your own way.
Alternatively, Venus, your ruler, will create a smoothness to this eclipse. It is in a beautiful aspect to Jupiter. Here it gives you a chance to believe in yourself. It reminds you of the power of your aspirations and your inherent wisdom. Jupiter in your 7th also brings a partner or person into your life to support your dream or vision.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also well aspected to this eclipse. It can ease tension even more. You are focusing on the changes you have made to your routines and daily life. Mars, the leader of this eclipse, is motivating you to take control of your image, legacy, and career. Perhaps there are necessary conflicts that need to be addressed. Whatever it is, you will do it with great energy. As work-related matters come up, don’t turn a blind eye. Mars is definitely ensuring that you are working your way into being noticed. Something is coming to a close, but a new beginning is right around the corner. As Mercury retrogrades, take time to reflect on how far you’ve come and your visions for the future.
Use this eclipse to reflect on your values, morals, and beliefs. Also, take stock of what you own and your financial picture. See what could use changing, re-budgeting, or refocusing. You will be making major changes to how you handle personal and shared resources in the near future. Your efforts are not in vain.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
1st House | Space
You are in the spotlight now. This upcoming Full Moon is an eclipse, and that changes the way the energy is conducted. Eclipses are full of evolution and shake-ups, but they come with resolve and definitive answers in the end. So, what may feel like chaos, is temporary. In all reality, the eclipse ends up being a guiding light. With this one being a Full Moon eclipse, there will likely be a bright light shining on something in your life that may need changing, reflecting, or refocusing. This will begin to bring closure to issues surrounding your boundaries, autonomy, and possibly even relationships.
Your 1st House is fully lit up at this lunation, which rules the self, the identity, and motivations. Here, you will be staring at who you are, what you want, and what drives you. This isn’t always easy, especially if you have been in a complacent or stagnant phase. You may have to find peace in discomfort as you know that things around you are changing, and you will be asked to step out of your cocoon — to transform yourself and the world around you. The spotlight from this lunation will have you questioning yourself, your boundaries, your goals, and really anything that is personal to you. This could bleed into your relationships, because as you change, so will they.
Uranus is the planet of surprise, with an unpredictable nature. It opposes the lunation from your 7th House. You may be shocked at what you discover around this Full Moon — particularly around your partnerships or closest one-on-one relationships. You may be ending a partnership (business or romantic) or be presented with something you had not considered before. Whatever it is, it doesn’t seem you were privy to the reaction or information. Of course, this could be a good surprise — as you never know with Uranus. Some of you may unexpectedly get a job offer, asked to be engaged, or take a relationship to the next level! With Uranus at play, it is best to not try to control the circumstances. This is a time to take a leap and see where it takes you, even if it shakes your sense of security. Keep in mind the 7th House, where Uranus is, rules all one-on-one relationships: business, familial, platonic, romantic, contractual, etc.
Venus is in your 8th House now, creating ease at this eclipse from a quieter place. It is sextile Jupiter in your House of health and daily affairs. Venus will have you mind the details of your life and your emotional well-being. Some of you may receive a bonus or commission at this time, while others can find joy in being more intimate with those you trust most.
Now, Mars and Neptune are also well-aligned at this lunation. They sit in your 9th and 5th Houses, highlighting areas of joy, pleasure, adventure, and growth. Mars leads this eclipse and tells you to focus more on the future. It invites you to find creative solutions and take a risk for yourself. You could have some good news in regard to an educational endeavor, publishing, writing, or traveling. Others of you could find some much-needed excitement in exploring new horizons and being part of something you are passionate about. Additionally, maybe it is time to take some old ideas off the back burner — especially as Mercury retrogrades at this eclipse. You are invited to comb through the past and find inspiration again.
Use this eclipse to work on yourself and focus on your needs. See what needs to be adjusted or refined. Where could you benefit from being more gentle with yourself? Where could you be more disciplined? How can you see yourself more clearly? You can make great strides in standing out and allowing yourself to be seen and heard. You are on a path toward really making shifts in your identity and overall life.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
12th House | Limitless
We are now submerged into eclipse season, and with this comes a full wave of activity. However, for you – things are a bit different. You are craving peace, serenity, and solitude. Eclipses can note an ending of sorts, and this couldn’t be more true as this one falls in your 12th House. However, not all endings are bad. Given the power of an eclipse, it may not be comfortable, but it will be for the best. This is the continuation of the Taurus/Scorpio ecliptic cycle. You will have to reckon with your life in its intricacies, routines, grand visions, and the ways in which you might escape. Care and service will be top of mind.
Service is a word you may not actively think about, but it is one that holds value. Service is not always to another person —it can be to yourself, your body, your heart, mind, or soul. You need not always sacrifice to care for yourself. This eclipse will highlight where you could use more balance, rest, and realignment.
Of course, that may come with something being let go or being tied up, but that leaves more room for you. If you have been on a one-way train to burnout, it is time to slow that train and take active steps toward recovery. The eclipse falling in your 12th House will have you asking yourself the bigger questions in life, which could include how you find respite, faith, and how you engage in any sort of spirituality. This is a House of healing and suffering — perhaps it is time to end the things that bring you suffering, grief, or pain. Make room in the waters for you to swim more freely.
Uranus is sitting in your 6th House, opposing this eclipse. Work or your daily life seems to be busier than ever, almost a little overwhelming. You have been running around with no clear direction. It is muddying what you hope for and causing you to not see the big picture…your goals. Uranus is creating changes with work, health, and routines. Some of these are outside your control. It could be feast or famine, or maybe you are just looking to free yourself from the norms you have always known. Uranus pushes you toward understanding that you can’t control the circumstances, but you can control the outcome. You need to reframe your security. If you are having health issues, take charge. Alternatively, if this is about lifestyle, then maybe you need to rethink how you go about your routines. Make health a priority so that you can live out your future goals.
Venus is creating ease at this eclipse, luckily. It touches on Jupiter in Aries. Venus asks you to be open with a partner or close relationship. One of the more positive notes how supportive and nourishing your relationships can be now, the more open you are. There is to expand places of creativity and joy. Do something sweet for yourself. Value your pleasure.
Mars and Neptune are well aligned to this lunation. They sit in your 4th and 8th houses, inviting you to take time to rest and slow down. Perhaps you have been on the go in some way. Mars leads this eclipse, and it helps to bring motivation to you in terms of your healing. Avoid burnout by taking those moments of respite where you can. A theme of breaking cycles and knowing how to get off the merry-go-round is important. What you inherit isn’t always yours to keep. Sometimes we can alchemize that into something else, something useful and joyful.
Use this Full Moon to focus on the places that you escape or choose to ignore. See what needs to come to a close and what needs to be expanded. Make peace in the quiet. Find power in resolution. Explore new areas of faith, belief, and spirituality — but also be ok with not knowing or having answers. You are on the precipice of closing a chapter and starting a whole new one. What is needed to fully walk through that door?
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
11th House | Collaboration
The future can feel so far away, but we forget that it is unfolding even in this present moment. In simple terms, the future is now. And this feeling couldn’t be captured more perfectly than with this eclipse on the 5th of May. This will continue a cycle for you where you have been looking at taking more risks and seeking more attention — but also balancing this with how it all works with your visions and goals. You will be finding your space in a community. There is a desire to create but also to ensure that the output or outcome not only benefits you but everyone around you. Some things will have to change in order to make this happen, and part of that may be a readjustment of your plans or goals.
This eclipse will shine a light on your 11th House, where you are reflecting on your friendships, network, hopes, and goals. Because it is a Full Moon eclipse, something may be eclipsed out of your life or needs to be refined/reframed. You may have to come to terms with a friendship or community that needs to be addressed. Perhaps you are ready to approach these relationships differently or welcome the possibility of growth with a friend or group. Maybe there is a call to reflect in order to see things more clearly around the situation, especially with Mercury retrograde at this time. Alternatively, you may be changing and shifting your outlook on your future self — learning how to better seek support to make dreams a reality. You asking for help or leaning on others doesn’t make you weak. It is a reminder that you can be filled and nourished by others, as much as you may nourish them.
Uranus is making things a little unpredictable. There is a feeling of uncertainty around this Lunar Eclipse. Uranus sits in your 5th House of expression, creativity, love, and self-confidence. You could feel that your confidence is shaky or that you are not expressing how you feel correctly. Uranus is itching to help you break free from limitations and choose to take that plunge, that leap. You have to put yourself out there, even if it seems hard so that people can see the real you…all of you. You can’t hide anymore. The ways in which you have made yourself small are coming to a head. Positively, this can be a very inspiring creative time for you! So lean into this aspect.
Venus is smoothing any rough waters at this eclipse. It is in a positive relationship with Jupiter. Venus is reminding you to take things easy. It may help you find joy in your routines or the mundane things. With Jupiter’s relationship to Venus, this could also remind you of the power of family (chosen or given), and how they can be a point of growth and inspiration.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also very helpful at this lunation. They gift you the power of words and the ability to say exactly what you need. Perfectly timed since Mercury is retrograde. Mars leads this lunation and reminds you that sharing with those close to you can be empowering. Some relationships will be motivating for you, especially those that are close like a partnership. Information could come to you suddenly around this eclipse, as well — listen and digest first before acting.
Use this Full Moon to reflect on your goals and future visions. See where you are and ask for support where it matters. Don’t allow yourself to fall victim to pleasing people. Learn to find the community and friendships that are worthy. Invest in the relationships that challenge you to grow. Your hopes and dreams can become a reality when you genuinely ask for help. You are finding your strength again.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
10th House | Pinnacle
This season will have you refining and reflecting. However, there will be moments of you working hard. This could not be more true than at this Lunar Eclipse. It will put you front and center as it sits at the top of your chart.
The eclipse falls in your 10th House. A position that sits at the top of your chart. The Moon will be beaming a light here, having you focus your attention on your career, life direction, and practical goals. You know that you want to do something different in this area of your life. Is it a new job? A promotion? A complete 180º? Whatever it is, the eclipse will bring it to the forefront of your mind. Some of you may move up, while some may quit or lose a job. Others may feel a general pressure at work, and it can be the catalyst for something new coming later on. It is hard to say how it will all shake up, but new pathways will soon begin to show up for you. Over the next few months, any changes at work will feel monumental. Thus, its gravity can be heavy — but once it finally reaches a head, it will alleviate all of that compounding pressure.
Uranus is in your 4th House, opposing this lunation. So, it seems that you may feel pulled in two directions. You could have shifts coming at home that you were not privy to. There may be surprises that pop up, and in turn, this could place stress on you. This Full Moon makes alterations to how you view your family. Perhaps shifting your home/family itself (is there a new member coming, or is your family dynamic restructuring/changing?). You may feel the need to nest or ground yourself. This is a call to withdraw a bit. It is hard to tell what will happen, as Uranus is a planet of unpredictability. However, it is your co-ruler, so the outcome could be favorable for you. It helps you bring an end to something that may have been holding you back — or it could allow you to listen to your intuition more.
Venus is smoothing any rough waters at this eclipse. It is positively aspected to Jupiter. Venus welcomes creativity and moments of joy amid uncertainty. It will show up as an energetic boost. Jupiter will expand your ideas and help you see things differently as well, only fueling that creative energy more.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also both very helpful at this eclipse. They work from your 2nd and 6th Houses to give a gusto of motivation to your resources and daily life. Mars leads this lunation, and it finds that you could be bringing in a new job, a form of work, new resources, or even a new client. You may find that you are willing to tackle the details or small mundane tasks you may have put off. You are really finding a routine that can work for you.
As there is so much happening around this Lunar Eclipse, use this time to truly reflect on where you are. Are you happy at work? What needs changing? Are you doing what makes you happy? Take steps to get what you want out of your life. Redirect your path. Ask for the promotion. Find new employment. Witness the dynamics at work and then assess your next moves. You are beginning a new cycle where your career and home will be the two areas of your life that will change the most. It is time to lean in and go after what you want.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
9th House | Extension
This is not a time to compromise what makes you feel alive. You have worked hard to give yourself more freedom. As we continue through the next few months, we find ourselves in a cycle that asks us to reach farther than we ever have before. This will require you to rewrite the narratives you had once written in your head. The perception of what is possible may be limited by what you are seeing, and not fully enveloped in what you are believing.
Eclipses shed light on what needs to be addressed or changed in our lives. As this eclipse is the continuation of the Taurus/Scorpio cycle, there will be changes in how you see the world around you. Your 9th House is being impacted here, and for the first time in a long time, you are willing and able to see the obstacles standing in the way of your growth. In so many ways, this is the beginning of a new adventure for you. One where you are asked to take a leap of faith and trust yourself along the way. You could explore new ways to expand your horizons, whether that be travel, education, spirituality or even through experiences. It can feel like a trust fall into the universe. The big-picture perspective will be important, as you can reframe fear into motivation.
Uranus is in your 3rd House. So, it seems that you may get unexpected news that shakes you up a bit. There may be information that comes out that really changes your perspective. It may come from a friend, sibling, neighbor, or someone in your local community. Alternatively, you could find yourself in high demand or spreading yourself too thin. Be careful of biting off more than you can chew. Alternatively, you could get an unexpected offer for a job, client, or creative project! Uranus is unpredictable, so it is hard to know how it will manifest in your life completely. One of the best ways Uranus can manifest is through inspiring ideas in your 3rd House. Uranus may push you to be more vocal or share — perhaps in ways you had not considered before.
Venus is in a fellow Mutable sign, making the eclipse have a dash of softness. It is in a very good aspect to Jupiter. Venus reminds you to slow down and take it easy. It may ask that you prioritize your home, family, and sanctuary space. As it touches on Jupiter, there may be a positive financial outcome for you, as well.
Luckily, Mars in Cancer and Neptune in your sign are both very well-aspected for this eclipse. They are granting you opportunities to see through the fog and maintain a broader perspective. Mars leads this lunation and motivates you to act on your hunches and from a place of joy. It helps to promote more autonomy and independence, especially as it adds fire to drive you forward to what you know is best for you. Mars is a destroyer and builder — similar to Saturn, it may be time to let something go.
Use this Full Moon to assess the big picture. Where could you use more adventure in your life? You could feel a push and pull of acting immediately — give things some time to settle. You will see that you are on the brink of a new journey, one that allows you to take the lead. You can explore new perspectives, educate yourself and seek out more spontaneous experiences. Nothing is perfect, but you can enjoy every moment that is set out before you. No time is wasted when you truly are living.

Aries Solar Eclipse Miniscopes
Aries Solar
Eclipse Miniscopes
New Beginnings Are Inevitable.
This forward is written by Aubrey Houdeshell of the Graveyard Roses. Miniscopes are still written by me. The Solar Eclipse in Aries 29º is on April 20th at 12:12 AM ET. This year Aries Season is bookended by two New Moons in Aries, both at the Anaretic Degree. Where we kicked off the Astrological New Year at 0º Aries, we close out the season at 29º, an all too poetic correspondence to the unique nature of what this second New Moon symbolizes.
The first, and maybe most important, thing to note about this New Moon is that it’s an Eclipse. Occurring for the first time along the Aries/Libra axis, this lunation marks a potent shift for the collective, as we’ve been working along the Taurus/Scorpio axis since late 2021 just before the Lunar Nodes prepared to shift into the latter pair of signs. Now, the pattern repeats itself as we prepare for the Lunar Nodes to shift once again, this time into Aries in Libra in mid-July of this year.
As far as eclipses go, they are notorious for change; it is very often that they end up eclipsing something - or someone! - out of our lives. Here in Aries, we are given the opportunity to say goodbye to old versions of ourselves, and hello to new, more authentic ones. Aries asks us to look at themes surrounding our individuality, our ambition, drive, ability to act and assert ourselves, our passions, and our rage. As this New Moon Eclipse is also conjunct Jupiter, now at the very end of its journey in Aries, we are gifted a moment to reflect on everything Jupiter has brought into our lives while transiting the sign of the Ram and to capitalize and expand upon those themes in a BIG way.
The leader of this lunation is Mars, now about halfway through its journey in Cancer, who receives support from Mercury in Taurus via a sextile. As we are just over 24 hours out from Mercury Retrograde, we are deep in the pre-retrograde shadow, and therefore things may already feel they’re going nowhere fast anyway. With the initiation into Eclipse Season, it may be best to just sit back and let things transpire as they are meant to, rather than trying to charge full steam ahead. Remember that both Cancer and Taurus prefer to move slowly, thriving on safety and comfort above all else. There is a need to make sure that both are present before doing anything else.
Mercury is also conjunct Uranus underneath this lunation, bringing a further element of surprise to the already strange landscape of Mercury Retrograde energy. Uranus can feel exciting, electric even, as it brings flashes of insight and revelation via conversations or news. Between this, the retrograde energy, and eclipse energy, it may be best to expect the unexpected and take your time when figuring out how to move forward.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 25º to 29º or 0º to 5º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
Before we dive into the horoscopes, I also wanted to share a very special chat on this eclipse with Aubrey Houdeshell. We explore themes of the upcoming eclipse series and what to expect. I am hoping to eventually create some audio blogs/podcast style recordings and am in the creative and play stage with this. So, as you have space, please feel free to give this a listen.

ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
1st House | Drive
Happy Solar Eclipse, Aries! This one furthers what you began on March 21st! It falls in your sign and is the start of an entirely new cycle for you. We now are beginning the Aries/Libra eclipse series, where you will be at the forefront of the eclipses in the next 18–24 months! Right now, what you should be looking to nourish is yourself.
This lunation falls in your 1st House, bringing you back to your place in this world. Who are you? What do you want? Doors are opening for you, especially as you have had Jupiter in your sign for the last many months. You may have been trying things out or in search of ways to expand or grow. This eclipse will give you a chance to find what WILL work for you and what won’t. You get to decide how you live your life and make strides in building a new you. Now is the time to be unapologetically yourself. Celebrate your individuality. Take pride in where you are right now.
The Sun and Moon are doubly supported by Jupiter and Saturn — each bestowing their own gift. Saturn is stabilizing the energy of this lunation for you in your 12th House. It is keeping you mindful of your space and where you are putting your energy. Meanwhile, Jupiter is finishing its time in your sign, continuing to help you see progress in anything that you desire. This is not just a time to dream big, but move in and with those dreams!
Uranus is a key player at this eclipse as it closely joins Mercury (which will retrograde just one day later). It adds an aura of excitement and surprise, perhaps triggering an unexpected event. This could come in terms of your resources, as it also sits in your 2nd House. Whatever crops up, try not to worry or fret, there is a positive outcome around the corner, especially as the retrograde will have you figuring out all the details in the weeks to come. Uranus’ presence at this lunation adds energy and verve, almost as if you are feeling ready and willing to take on whatever comes your way! It is motivating you to take hold of your worth, pushing you closer to recognizing how valuable you really are.
Use this eclipse to focus on yourself. Work on discovering new pieces of your identity and releasing parts of you that no longer serve you. Be fueled by your desires and passions, run with your ideas. Motivation is key. You are able to make anything you want come to fruition, especially as the doors swing open just for you. Stand in your power. Embrace the spotlight. Own every facet of your being. This is the start of something good!
Taurus & Taurus Rising
12th House | Withdraw
Taurus, take time to rest. Please! We are heading into your season shortly (in mere hours after this lunation), but first, we have the eclipse, and soon, Mercury stationing retrograde in your sign. So, you will have a very full plate in the coming weeks. There is a feeling of being run down, tired, and needing space to recollect yourself. Honestly, you need to listen to that feeling!
This New Moon eclipse is perfectly positioned in your 12th House, so right now is a time to find a balance in work, pleasure, play, and rest. Work quietly behind the scenes and slow down. You are turning inward and focused on preserving your energy. You know you will be expending a lot of it soon. The 12th House can bring insights that we were not privy to before. So, you may discover information that was hidden from view. Now is a time to listen to your intuition and focus on how to best navigate quietly. If you need a respite, take it!
Jupiter and Saturn are supporting players at this lunation, both championing you in different ways. Saturn sits in your 11th House, where you are finding security and grounding in your long-term goals — perhaps even the people that support you. Jupiter, on the other hand, is finishing its time in your 12th House, where you have learned the value of belief and self-trust. Once Jupiter enters Taurus on May 16th, you will fully realize/actualize all of the work you’ve been doing that no one has seen yet.
You may be the harbinger of excitement, surprise, or spontaneity around this lunation! I know this may seem out of character for your steadfast nature, but Uranus is closely linked to Mercury — both in your sign! There is a jolting feeling and an inexplicable need for freedom! Some of you may take a fool’s leap or make a shocking discovery around this time! However, I don’t want this to scare you. Even through this whirlwind energy, there is a lot of support — especially from Mars! Mars gives power and focus around this time from your 3rd House, adding in mutual support and fresh ideas.
Use this eclipse to withdraw a bit where you can. Find more peace in everyday life — including work/life balance. Take time to rest and recharge. Tie up loose ends and close doors that need to be shut. Re-engage with yourself, replenish your energy, and enjoy downtime (by creating it). Listen to your intuition more and record your dreams. This is an opportunity for you to truly let go and open yourself up to something greater.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
11th House | Hope
We enter the newly minted Solar Eclipse in Aries, where you will have endless support. This eclipse is unlike many others we have experienced in the last few years. So many aspects align to make this one a powerhouse with added excitement!
With this lunation hanging out in your 11th House, you will be looking at your connections and friends as a way to help you move ahead. You may even just want to catch up with people, feeling a little more social than normal. You are realizing that community is becoming increasingly important to you, and you may be trying to find where you want to align yourself. Budding friendships become lasting ones, and old friends are showing up left and right. Bask in this! People are showing you love, and you deserve that. Support seems like magic.
Jupiter and Saturn show their own support at this eclipse. Saturn sextiles the Sun and Moon from your 10th House, welcoming career or work opportunities from people you may know! Additionally, there is a more grounded approach to your long-term aspirations. Jupiter is continuing to expand your network and circle. For the next few weeks, you will find yourself in the right place around the right people. If someone outstretches a hand or chooses to show up — don’t turn them away. Lean into their help/support.
Uranus is so interestingly positioned at this eclipse! It sits closely to your ruler, Mercury. So you may get an overwhelming sensation or intuitive hit at this time. Some of you may get news that sends you into a pause or a need to reflect! Alternatively, there could be a missing piece of valuable information that comes to light. Don’t let this scare you though. There is so much support at this eclipse, that whatever crops up will have a happier ending. Mars is very helpful to this energy and gifts the energy to see anything through. All the right people are noticing you.
Use this eclipse to call on your community. Ask for support where necessary and seek out new methods of networking. Focus on your friendships and nurture the ones that prove to strengthen you. Look at your goals, your future, your hopes. What do you want out of the next five years? Three years? Who can help you get there? How can you make this happen? These are questions to reflect on — just remember to not let your dreams die. Keep the faith alive.
Cancer & cancer Rising
10th House | Ambition
This season has had you working hard! However, there may be points of refining and reflecting, especially as Mercury stations retrograde on April 21st. But before this happens, we welcome the energy of a much anticipated Solar Eclipse in Aries! Your career life is about to see vast changes and improves in the next 18–24 months.
This New Moon (Solar Eclipse) will bring you to new heights! It falls in your 10th House, so you have the chance to plant seeds in your career or make important moves in your life. You are becoming more aware of your direction and what you want — especially as Jupiter has spent the last few months in this area of your chart! Nothing has been in vain. The right people are taking notice. If you do change jobs or careers, you may find that the work you want to do will be something completely different or distinct. Perhaps that is the change you want, as well! Alternatively, some of you may make discoveries about your passions that drive you into a new field or up the ladder into a new role/position. Whatever it is, a career or work-related matter seems to be at the forefront of your mind.
The Sun and Moon are supported by Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn sits in fellow Water sign, Pisces, in your 9th House. You are seeing that your goals are attainable and that what was once a pipedream is now a reality. Lean into the idea that you can actualize your aspirations. Jupiter is finishing its time in your 10th House, showing you the expansive growth that you’ve undergone in your public life. Recognition is likely now — as is validation. If you have been trying to “uplevel” in any way, it is all coming to fruition now. Use this time to plant those seeds that you want to see grow in terms of your work, career, image, and legacy.
Uranus plays a key role in this eclipse, as it aligns with Mercury. It acts as a wildcard, but almost positively so! It seems that a contact, friend, or someone in your sphere of influence will surprise you! You can get unsuspecting news or be asked to do something you least expect! It feels that something is coming to light in a whole new way — and this may even be in relation to your future. Maybe you are being asked to shift your priorities to make way for something more exciting! Mars, in your sign, is very helpful to this energy, adding motivation to take a leap of faith around this time! If there are goals you want to achieve, it seems pathways will begin to open.
Use this eclipse to focus on your career and your life direction. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Be noticed and seek opportunities that make you more visible. Call the shots and show your leadership qualities. Strive for new goals and scale ever-higher mountains. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and relish in your successes. See the power within you and let that be what pushes you into the next phase of your life. You are moving toward such great things.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
9th House | Opportunity
You are reaching new heights! You have recently taken a leap of faith, and you know that there is no way you can go back now! This eclipse is a New Moon, one that opens doors of opportunity and creates possibility — a portal into something new. Eclipses hold compounding energy, where we find ourselves at a crossroads with multiple avenues to explore. For you, in particular, you will see that obstacles that were once present begin to dissipate. Perhaps this is a change of perspective or maybe roads starting to open for you.
With this Solar Eclipse in your 9th House, you are actively growing and trying new things! You are taking the experience you have had and applying it future-forward. Now is a time to be bold and optimistic about the journey that lies ahead. The Moon will make sure that you are bold in your approach while remaining open to the beautiful changes that life can bring! Flexible structures. Here, you will see that your world is shifting. The 9th House is about limitless potential. You realize the world truly is your oyster in this realm, and you can make what you want out of it. You will likely see your goals more clearly than you have in a long time and thus change your priorities in achieving them. Nothing is too far out of reach. All it takes is a little faith.
Jupiter and Saturn have been waving their flags in support of the Sun and Moon now. Saturn in your 8th House has been grounding you deeper into the intimate crevices of life. You are willing to face some fears that have long kept you trapped. This will only help you as Jupiter finishes its time in your 9th House. Out of the shadow and into the light — nothing is too hard as Jupiter encourages you to see the endless possibilities that lie before you. Whatever you begin now will take shape in the coming 18–24 months. Once Jupiter enters Taurus on May 16th, you will see gold beams in your career life.
Now, there may be a surprise at this eclipse! Uranus is conjunct Mercury, caught in an embrace. This adds an aura of excitement, whimsy, and even a shock factor! Perhaps new information comes to light about your job. Some of you may up and leave, while others may witness a restructure. Alternatively, you could just receive unexpected news. It is hard to say what it will be, as Uranus is a wildcard. However, it does seem to work out best for you in the end, especially with Mars in a helpful position for this energy. Mars provides a sense of relief and focus!
Use this eclipse to explore new places — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Challenge your perspective, open your mind, and reach beyond current limitations. Seek help in order to achieve your goals and put yourself out there to gain notoriety. There is so much happening around you. If you feel confused, take a step back and pull yourself out of the details. See the big picture and soon, you will know which path to take.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
8th House | Intimacy
We are in the beginning stages of an eclipse series that impacts your finances and resources. You may be taught lessons but also gifted opportunities around value, worth, and shared resources. As we go through this cycle, you will see that a large part of this experience is to provide a sense of closure and conflict resolution. New pathways that you had not expected will open up.
The eclipse is a New Moon in your 8th House, opening doors for resources that have been untapped or previously hidden. This could be emotional or material. Some of you may find out about an unexpected gain, whether through you or a partner, perhaps an inheritance, or some sort of windfall. Alternatively, you may find that you are working toward paying off debts and feeling more secure — that you don’t owe anything to anyone. This could also apply to how you feel about emotional debts, almost washing your hands of old situations or people that no longer serve you. This eclipse may also bring about a transformation. One that has been a long time coming. In some ways, it will feel like a re-emergence — a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with shadows that have sat beneath the surface. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
With Jupiter and Saturn so supportive of this eclipse, you will find this to be a crescendo moment for you. Saturn stabilizes the lunation from your 7th House, where a partner or close relationship provides you with the support and grounding you need. Jupiter, on the other hand, will continue its quiet expansion through the shadowy part of your chart. If you are hoping to deepen a relationship, this eclipse can help you. Alternatively, you may find yourself forming an important/powerful business relationship as well. Jupiter and Saturn really have you pay attention to whom or what you commit yourself. If you have been afraid to make a move or take a risk, let this lunation be a green light for you.
You may have some surprises creep out around this time, as Uranus joins hands with Mercury! This is like a whirlwind and wildcard energy that seems to tell you to expect the unexpected! You may really feel the itch to have some freedom or start a new adventure at this time! This is unusual for you, as you often like to take a more grounded approach. However, Uranus seems to be sending lightning bolts to jolt you! But it isn’t bad at all! Mars is very supportive of this energy and welcomes friends or loved ones that may inspire you.
Use this eclipse to reflect on your growth and how you have transformed in the last year. Seek new resources. Get intimate with a partner or close relationship — even yourself. Focus on the power you hold personally, finding new ways of sharing who you are. Explore your depths, take hold of your fears, and no longer be held back by cyclic patterns that keep you trapped. This is about seeing new pathways that had once been hidden from view. You hold the keys.
Libra & Libra Rising
7th House | Unity
You are one of the two stars for the next 18 months. The eclipse series will be sitting in your sign and your polarity, creating waves and pathways that were not present to you before. You may see your life change in ways you will not expect. Some of you may take on more autonomy and independence and/or change how you engage in your relationships. Others will see growth opportunities and significant relationships strengthen. Whatever it is, there has been a flowing exchange of energy that will lead to massive personal growth.
Now, a New Moon enters your 7th House. You will likely see dynamics shift between you and someone you are close with. Some of you may dissolve broken or irreparable relationships, while others will get closer — forming impenetrable bonds. You are seeing the value in the give and take and understanding your boundaries in a new way. If you are seeking out a new relationship, it is likely you will find it. Alternatively, the relationship you’re working on could be one with yourself. Sometimes we think that we need to find “wholeness” through others and forget that we are whole on our own. So, consider this eclipse an exploration of what you need, deserve, and desire. Understanding your boundaries and seeing how you fit into the picture will be pertinent. With the Moon in your polarity, it seems that sharing a part of your life with others can be very invigorating. Receptivity is huge now.
Saturn and Jupiter are both benefactors at this eclipse. Saturn sits in your 6th House, grounding you into better routines and daily practices. It seems that you may need this as changes become present in other areas of your life. Focus on the small improvements that will have a lasting impact. Jupiter is in your 7th, expanding much of what the eclipse will bring. It is showing you the right people or relationships to focus on. You may really learn to see yourself in a new light now, as well. Jupiter is giving you a perspective that you may not have been privy to before. This will only help you grow.
The energy of this eclipse is magnified by the conjunction of Uranus and Mercury! Uranus adds a dash of whimsy, spontaneity, surprise, or unexpected news! Some of you may get a bonus or receive a financial gift around this lunation, while others may surprisingly have a very intimate conversation with a partner or someone close to you. It seems that issues are not as scary to face, and you are more willing to confront them! Mars is very helpful at this lunation – providing support and relief. With Mars in your 10th House, pay attention to matters at work that could provide new opportunities for you.
Use this eclipse to focus on your boundaries. Understand the roles that you play in others’ lives and what they play in yours. See where you can receive and know what you have to give. Form new relationships and bury old ones that don’t support you. Seek out ways to create a better relationship with yourself above all else. Nothing will ever be as solid as the love you can give to yourself.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
6th House | Integration
Knowing your limits can be important. This month you were tasked with closing doors, learning to be better to your body, and focusing on the things in your immediate present. You have been taught the value of your needs and the difference between service/sacrifice. We can’t save everyone or really anyone at all.
This eclipse falls in your 6th House. Here, you are told to prioritize well-being more. Your health, work, daily life, and routines all fall in this area of your chart. You may have seen major changes in this more mundane setting, yet you may not have realized how impactful the small shifts have been. This eclipse opens a door of opportunity for you (or even several), where you can take more risks with work, find better solutions for your health, and retake control of your life. Consider this a chance to organize the chaos. You are settling into new routines, so be mindful of what you begin. You can kick old habits and start new exercise regimens. The call is to bring your physical self to the forefront. Alternatively, some of you may see the eclipse manifest through your work environment with co-workers, your job tasks, or even the job itself. If your job is eclipsed out, then know that something similar is coming along. If not, then perhaps there are ways to update your work/life balance.
Saturn and Jupiter are supportive of this eclipse. Saturn is newly traveling your 5th House — grounding you in your joy and creativity. This is where you will find your authentic self, in your pleasure. Happiness is a non-negotiable now. Jupiter sitting in your 6th House continues to help you get ahold of your health and well-being. Use this as a green light to go to the doctor, healer, or practitioner. Explore new, innovative ways to tackle old health habits. Workwise, you could see an expansive opportunity, contract, or client come into your life.
Uranus brings an unexpected bit of news or energy around this eclipse. It joins Mercury acting like a wildcard! A person may show their true colors, for better or for worse. Some of you may be whisked away with whimsy and spontaneity with someone you consider to be close to you or you and a partner could get exciting news. Others may have to face a reality that they were not entirely ready to see. However, this isn’t quite as scary as it seems. Mars is very helpful at this lunation and brings a sense of motivation. It seems that efforts to take risks or put yourself out there more will be met with positive reception. Now is the time to be a bit bolder. Commitments made will be unexpectedly supported.
Use this eclipse to bring everything together. See how the small things in your life impact everything else. Pay attention to your body and work on making amends with how you may have abused it in the past. Work on getting healthier — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Look for opportunities for growth in your work, daily life, and routines. Be flexible. See that perfection is not the goal — the process teaches us more than the outcome. Work on taking care of yourself.

5th House | Creation
It is time to restore your sense of optimism! This New Moon comes in to remind you that life can be fun and playful! Over the next 18 months, you will learn the value of personal joy and collective happiness. Now, as this Solar Eclipse ushers in a new pathway, you can walk forward in a more focused manner.
The New Moon will highlight the area of your chart that rules play, joy, happiness, pleasure, love, and creation. This is about leading with your heart, listening to that inner child, and making time for more fun in your life. This is very welcomed. This eclipse reminds us that life is something to experience and celebrate. You can manifest your heart’s desires into reality, simply by taking more risks on yourself. What makes you happy? What do you love? This is a time to explore new ways to play and seek out pleasure. Let loose. Because this is a place of creation, some of you may be creating something entirely new: a project, art, music, relationship, or even the conception of a child. Alternatively, consider this eclipse a chance for you to sit in the spotlight a bit. It is ok to be recognized for your efforts and to celebrate your successes.
Saturn is very supportive of this eclipse in your 4th House. It seems that grounding yourself in your idea of tradition and reclaiming your thoughts around family will be necessary. This is the basis of your joy. You need a home to support your vision. Jupiter is also helpful, as it continues through your 5th House for just a few more weeks. You will find yourself continually stimulated by creativity and wanting/desiring to play. Lean into this playful energy! Let loose and have fun. Don’t take things so seriously. This is a space to dig more into your self-expression.
Uranus enters the chat in a surprising manner — and we wouldn’t want it any other way! It meets up with Mercury to bring about a unique or exciting opportunity regarding work or a project. Alternatively, some of you may see a major reorganization at work that leaves open spaces where you may end up fitting — just make sure you get the compensation you deserve. If you work for yourself, there will be chances for an unexpected connection that may lead you to more work! Mars is very supportive of this energy from your 8th House. Emotionally, you seem ready to take on whatever comes your way — and it may come with a bonus!
Use this New Moon to find new ways to have fun. Follow your heart more and listen to your inner child. Seek new ways to engage in pleasure and creativity. Let loose. If you are looking to conceive (a child, a project or anything), let this eclipse be the thing that pushes you to start or get more focused on it. Anything that pulls at your heart will be favored. So really get in touch with what you desire most.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
4th House | Refuel
The next year will see major changes to your internal and external worlds. With the eclipse series falling in fellow Cardinal signs (Aries and Libra), it will be impacting your 4th and 10th Houses. After what feels like a cycle of constant evolution and change – you can now start a new phase in your 4th House.
The 4th House rules family, home, roots, and your emotional foundations. Here, the eclipse will turn your attention to these areas. Perhaps you are looking to do some work around the house — renovations or redecorating. Maybe you are just on a house hunt overall, looking for new places to call home. Some of you may be finding more quiet time or family time, while seeking solitude after a busy few months. Whatever it is, you are bringing it all back to your center. Home is where the heart is. Family could take a central focus as there may be changing dynamics in this area of your life. Over the next 18–24 months, you will be redefining what family truly is, or what it means to you. You may be putting down stronger roots and really focusing on your emotional well-being. This eclipse tells you all of that work isn’t for nothing. You can rejoice in the power you may call back and honor the peace you will create.
Saturn, your ruler, is quite helpful at this eclipse, as is Jupiter. Saturn is now in your 3rd House, bringing you more focus to your ideas and the community you have around you. Friends are more supportive or grounding now. They, in many ways, are a part of that growing family dynamic. Committing to an idea or an area of focus may also benefit you now as Saturn sits in a cerebral part of your chart. Jupiter will finish its time in your 4th House in the coming weeks. You will find that whatever Jupiter has illuminated for you will be the focus of the coming year or two. There will be no shortage of growth opportunities.
Uranus adds some whirlwind at this lunation, as it forms a conjunction to Mercury. This creates surprising circumstances — perhaps more surprising yourself than anything else. Uranus is sitting in your 5th House, giving you some gusto on proving to yourself that you are worthy enough to take risks. You know that you have some exciting opportunities that lie ahead, and it seems that part of that is giving yourself more credit and having more faith in the journey before you. Some of you may find out about an unexpected conception, a new project, meet a new person of interest, or even just feel creatively charged! Whatever it is, Uranus wants you to have fun and really just lean into anything that brings pleasure and adventure to your life. Mars is also helpful, as it may bring someone into your life who motivates you more than you could have imagined.
Use this eclipse to settle in and come back to center. Focus on your roots and your family. Find security in your emotional foundations and create a sanctuary for yourself. Find peace in the quiet. Work on things around the house and spruce up your space. If you want to move, this eclipse could give you the boost you need to find the right place! It is all coming together now.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
3rd House | Ideas
Your head is filled with so many great ideas! This eclipse is a New Moon, one that creates possibility — a doorway into something new. Eclipses hold compounding energy, where we find ourselves at a crossroads with multiple avenues to go down. For you, you may find yourself faced with needing to use your voice more — perhaps being flexible in ways that you had not been before.
The eclipse falls in your 3rd House where you are tasked to learn, adapt, and integrate. This is about how you communicate not only what you are saying — but also what you are hearing. Part of shifting your perspective comes through dialogue and the conversations that you have with others. Your voice is your power. Now, it is time to learn how to use it. Through the 3rd House, we learn to express ourselves and say what is on our minds. Sharing is an integral part of your personal exploration — and how you choose to share is important. There can be a feeling of people inundating you with messages around the eclipse. Perhaps you may hear news that you have been waiting for! You can start a new journey for yourself by applying the skills you have in new ways. Your local community will figure strongly as well, especially those close to you. They are here to uplift you and support you, but they won’t know what you need unless you tell them. Asking for help isn’t weak – especially if it is meant to help you grow.
Saturn and Jupiter both support the eclipse! Saturn now sits in your 2nd House, grounding you into your natural talents, your self-worth, and your value. You are being tasked with using your resources wisely. You may find that commitments you make when it comes to money will be long-lasting. Jupiter, on the other hand, is quite expansive in your 3rd House. It is widening your net and with whom you are in communication. Ideas can feel like they are on fire, with no shortage of inspiration. The goal is to direct that energy and channel it into something tangible.
Uranus is closely tied to Mercury, where you may receive some surprising news. It impacts your 4th House, perhaps adding a dash of wildcard energy into your home life. There may be points of closure, where you are told to prepare for a new cycle in your home/family sphere. You could be making great discoveries in terms of your heritage or roots. Others of you may happen upon the right home, contractor, or rental! It is hard to say how Uranus will manifest as it is unpredictable, but don’t be afraid! Mars is quite supportive of this energy from your 6th House. So, on the flip side, you will likely push yourself into a new routine and health regimen.
Use this eclipse to speak your magic into the world. Communication is key, and your words hold more power than they have in a long time. Don’t be afraid to tell others what you are thinking, but also be open to what they have to say. Create important dialogue and have those tough conversations. Be flexible and adapt to the ever-changing tides in life. You are being asked to integrate your experiences and open yourself up to new possibilities.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
2nd House | Stability
We are now basically on the other side of Aries season, but the attention remains on your stability. We are entering a pivotal time, eclipse season, opening new doors of opportunity for you. So, turn your attention to planting what you can, if you can — especially at this New Moon. You may hear that eclipses are not a time to do manifestation work, but this one is quite beautiful and powerful. Mercury will station retrograde the day after, and we will be more focused on refining then.
This New Moon is in your 2nd House, so your focus can be turned toward resources. Are you being valued for your work? What is your compensation like, even outside of income? Some of you may be looking for a raise, promotion, or change to your financial picture. Use this New Moon to push that forward for you. The Moon is bold in Aries, so it is working to showcase your pioneering spirit! Remain grounded in your approach, but charge ahead knowing that you can grow an abundant garden from all that you decide to plant. A major theme will be personal value. You are asked to own every facet of your talents and your experience. Notice what comes easy, what feels natural — this is where you will be most abundant. You don’t need to work so hard to achieve the success you desire. You are inherently worthy.
Saturn and Jupiter are both very helpful at this eclipse. Saturn is in your sign, reminding you that you are more grounded and focused than you are given credit for. It will help you play the long game and tune into your tenacity. Much can be achieved through your willingness to even try what you normally wouldn’t. Jupiter, now finishing its time in your 2nd House, is continuing to expand your resources. Offers and opportunities can be abundant in the coming weeks. Jupiter has been a guiding light in the last few months, showing you what the eclipses will churn and expand in the coming year or so. Don’t let scarcity get you down — you have the resources you need within you to make anything come to fruition.
New and insightful information/news seems to factor strongly, especially as Uranus joins with Mercury at this lunation! Surprising news or new contacts can pop up now. You may feel busy or in demand in some way. Uranus is ensuring that you are finding the right people and the right words. Dialogue and conversations are a point of growth. You could be buzzing with excitement or seeking to learn as much as possible right now, too. Uranus could also show up as an unexpected support or newfound inspiration. Mars is very supportive of this energy, as well. So you have the motivation, drive, and energy to move with whatever comes your way! You may even be creatively charged.
Use this eclipse to focus on the ground you stand on. What do you value? When was the last time you showed yourself respect? Seek out ways to show yourself that you can rely on yourself. Build a greater space for personal security and understand the value of owning every aspect of your own humanity. Find new resources and open up doors for working through financial stress and abundance. There’s no scarcity in the world you have created for yourself now.

Libra Full Moon Miniscopes
Libra Full
Moon Miniscopes
A Balance Restored.
The Full Moon in Libra 16º is on April 6th at 12:34 AM ET. Aries Season always runs hot and brings that fiery passion into our lives; however, there is a duality just like everything else in life. We will find ourselves with a Full Moon in Libra every Aries Season, reminding us of the necessity of balance. Libra is the scales: airy, cool, and rational—helping to soothe and direct the fire within.
The Full Moon in Libra is quite active this year, as it aspects Jupiter and Chiron. There is a level of unearthing and expansion that can come from this lunation. Chiron will ask us to face fears and confront things that have remained hidden. Alternatively, Jupiter swoops in to support and create new areas of growth from old wounds. Jupiter’s aid is welcomed. We may be reminded of untapped potential around this Full Moon, which can also allow us to maintain a focus on a brighter future. As the Sun and Jupiter join hands in the coming week, we are granted a gift or reward.
Venus leads this lunation and is home in the sign of Taurus. This is Venus' comfortable placement. Venus works with Neptune harmoniously to bring a dreamy and softer perspective. This sextile promotes creativity, ease, and a focus on pleasure.
However, Mercury will be pulled in a few directions as it squares Pluto, but it sextiles both Mars and Saturn. There can be themes around power or control that may arise, but with Saturn and Mars stabilizing Mercury, we can stay ready for anything. Both Mars and Saturn want to see intentional action and conversation in the pursuit of personal transformation and growth. The impossible is always possible if we are willing to move beyond our current limitations.
Use this Full Moon for releasing any pain in your heart, and unfold yourself toward the beauty of the unknown. Libra rules relationships and partnerships, so we crave connections and open and flowing lines of communication. Anything established now will be lasting. In life, there is always a give and take. Honor this reciprocity while never compromising your value and worth. This Full Moon is like the flowers that bloom in Spring: full of promise and signs of greater days ahead.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 11º to 21º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Cardinal placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
Before we dive into the horoscopes, I also wanted to share a very special chat with a dear friend of mine, Hannah Levy. This chat is a 50 minute long recording inspired by this Full Moon in Libra and centered around the concept of Commitment. I am hoping to eventually create some audio blogs/podcast style recordings and am in the creative and play stage with this. So, as you have space, please feel free to give this thought-provoking conversation a listen.

7th House | Reciprocity
It is your season, and the Sun is happily shining in its dignity (your sign). This Full Moon is a good reminder for you to find that inner balance and harmony. Things can feel go go go, but the Libra energy can cool you down a bit.
This Full Moon may have your mind on your relationship, others in your life, and close connections. How are things faring for you? Some of you may seek to bring a relationship or partnership to the next level, while others may decide to walk away from one. Keep in mind that this can be non-romantic. Whatever it is, it seems to be working for you. You are seeing how important connections are and how others can increase your sense of self-awareness. The idea of reciprocity becomes really big for you around this time. You are called to pay attention to how you exchange energy with those around you. Who takes too much? Who doesn’t? Where do you need to maintain boundaries? Where can you be more flexible?
Venus is extremely well positioned at this Full Moon, which is important. It is the leader of this lunation, and it sits in your 2nd House, sending good energy to your resources. There is a feeling that the tides are slowly changing financially for you. Perhaps you come across a new avenue to create better security for yourself. Venus receives a positive aspect from Neptune, which is quite a dreamy placement. Some of you could see a person come through for you or go out to bat for you. This could also add some positive or easeful financial news in your life. Stay open.
Jupiter plays a big role at this lunation as it sits closely to the Sun. There is a brilliance to this Full Moon that can’t be ignored. You are being witnessed in a big way! How are you stepping into your own now? Mercury will play well with Saturn and Mars, suggesting that conversations had will be ones that are inspiring and yield long-term decisions for the better. Soon we will see Jupiter leave your sign, so take this time to really dream big and go after what you desire.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your relationships, whether with yourself or others. Try to make connections that feel inspiring and exciting. Recommit to someone or something and restore a balance in your life. Re-engage with people from the past and rework a long-term goal! You can really see any of your intentions or actions manifest from this lunation.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
6th House | Lifestyle
Happy Full Moon, Taurus! There is energy flowing and swelling in you, pushing you to focus on your boundaries and your everyday life. It seems as though your attention is shifting to work and finding ways to be more gentle to your body.
The Full Moon will highlight your 6th House. So, this can be a great time to get your health together and place priority on your own needs. You may find that you are very busy around this Full Moon, so ensure that you are taking the proper time to rest. You are probably noticing that you’re going back and combing through work you thought should have been completed by now. Alternatively, you could be really trying to get a project completed. Work/life balance seems a bit off right now. One of the big focuses of the 6th House is how you can update, change, or restructure your own routines and daily rituals. If you have something going on health-wise or just need a check-up, schedule it for around now!
Venus leads this lunation in your sign. Venus loves being in Taurus, it’s home — comfortable. There are places of ease, pleasure, and genuine self-love being brought to light here. Venus is gifting you magnetism and touches of attraction. It seems that you have not felt like this in about a year or so. Happily, Neptune and Venus sextile, bringing positive, creative energy your way. This could also be some news that arises, especially related to a friend, dream, or future goal. Neptune could just manifest as inspiration coming out of nowhere for you! Whatever it is, you are excited and your mind is buzzing.
With Jupiter traveling your 12th House for just a little while longer (peep May 16th for a big shift for you), you may still be incubating some ideas or thoughts. The Sun will illuminate much of what you have been working on behind the scenes as it reaches an alignment to Jupiter over the next few days. Whatever you agree to around this lunation will have some longevity to it. With Mercury playing well with Mars and Saturn, you could see a friend or close contact show up for you in a great way! Get out and connect if you can and it is safe for you to do so!
Use this full Moon to make changes to your diet, exercise regime, and routines. Maybe go back to a practice that you have not engaged with in a while. You could be reworking projects or paperwork at work. If you have had talks of a promotion or growth in your career, those will come back around now, too. Try not to control outcomes right now. Let it unfold and wait. Eclipse season is soon and has a lot in store for you.

Venus leads this lunation from your 12th House, perhaps bringing a matter to a close. It reaches out to Neptune to give a little a bit of inspiration around this time. There is some recognition at work that comes up now, as well — or even a sense of clarity coming soon. In addition, this concept of “closure” feels really important. Are you seeking it and with whom? Venus’s transit through a hidden part of your chart may bring up unresolved feelings or highlight what in your heart needs to be held closer. Nothing gold can stay, but while you have it, it can shine brilliantly. Find pleasure in the quiet moments you have right now. Eclipse season is coming, and this is a good opportunity for you to pay attention to what is on the horizon.
Jupiter has been transiting your 11th House, and it will shift in about a month. Community, network, hopes, and dreams are all being brought to light at this lunation. The Sun and Jupiter are inching closer together. This is a time to show up and show out for those that surround you and receive as much as you give, as well. You will find that you will be quite busy over the next week or so — especially socially. Mercury, your ruler, also works well with Mars and Saturn. There may be a positive conversation that leaves you feeling recognized, witnessed, or valued. Money could come up as well, and it seems to be focused on deepening your security.
Use this Full Moon to get back in touch with what you love. Focus on play, rest, and creating. Re-explore old hobbies and games. Make space for what makes you happy. Talk to your inner child and also give love to the actual kids in your life. Remember that you keep the fire in your heart going. Even in the darkest moments, it can be a source of warmth and inspiration.

4th House | Home
The Full Moon is back, and this time it is presenting you with some options! This Full Moon will feel very natural for you. It falls in your 4th House, which is the house you rule. So, your attention will be on your home, family, and emotional well-being.
You may find that your emotions are running more full than usual, yet the release will feel so good. You are finally ready to let go of the past and no longer be held down by what was. Instead, you are seeing the potential in what is and could be. If you want to buy, sell or rent a new space, this Full Moon will have you ready to do so! You may also do some freshening up around your home: redecorating, renovations, etc. Alternatively, the 4th House can signify an ending. So, you may be closing the door on something that has been taking up too much of your time and energy.
Venus leads this lunation from your social sector! It seems that you may be invited places or have a surprise bit of information come up with a friend. Alternatively, you could be the one who creates the surprise! Venus is domicile, working softly, so it seems that this is leading up to something more positive in the end (specifically close to the Solar Eclipse on April 20th). Neptune will reach out to Venus in a beautiful way, creating a dreamy atmosphere around you. Lean into this energy and focus on your aspirations and personal desires in the coming year.
Jupiter has been touring your 10th House, gifting you some career opportunities or just visbility overall. By mid-May, that will change and you will be more focused future-forward endeavors.

Take care of your heart and spend time withdrawing. Answers come more clearly toward the end of the month.

3rd House | Communication
What could be better than a joyful Full Moon in compatible Libra for you? This Full Moon is an interesting one, shining in your 3rd House of communication, contracts, and local community. It seems that you may be finalizing a small project or working on something that is getting ready to wrap up! This lunation will ensure that it is in tip-top shape and no stone is left unturned.
It feels like a conversation that needs to be had will come up or a sense of wanting to create a dialogue could be important to you. Some of you may be making changes to your immediate environment, instead! This Full Moon will gift you with ingenious ideas and active imagination. You seem to be wanting to connect with others and may be engaged in writing or speaking professionally. If you want to get a certificate or brush up on a skill, now is the time to do so! If you have been considering taking a short trip or getting in touch with siblings/cousins, that may arise now, too.
Venus leads this lunation from your 10th House, so there is still “work to do.” However, it feels more light or less cumbersome right now. There may even be a general sense of being valued — or creating better boundaries. Venus is domicile and joyfully traveling through the most public area of your chart. It reaches out to Neptune bringing in softness and ease. You may be compensated for a project or compensated with a bonus based on past work. Alternatively, Venus and Neptune may have you find ways to share responsibilities and not take on too much at once.
Jupiter and the Sun are chasing one another at this lunation. You’ve hosted Jupiter in your 9th House for quite some time, and soon it will move on (May 16th to be exact). But until then, this is a great time of growth and personal expansion. The conjunction of the Sun and Jupiter will bring an aspiration, dream, or vision to clarity — possibly even reality. Start thinking about what you hope to embody, achieve, learn, or explore. Much of what you desire will be actualized with Jupiter in Taurus.
Use this Full Moon to stop and listen. Interact with those close to you, and engage in deeper conversations. See others as a source of inspiration and open up a dialogue, even if it feels hard to have. Use your words as a balm for you and others. Find conflict resolution and facilitate strength in how you conduct yourself.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
2nd House | Worth
Financial changes seem to be coming your way! This Full Moon will have your mind on money, and your resources. Of course, Full Moons can signal release or endings, but even if this is the case, there is likely going to be a new beginning just around the corner.
Your 2nd House is being highlighted, so not only does this showcase income — but also self-worth and the things you value. This Full Moon can help you move on from outdated ways of thinking about material possessions. Do they actually bring you a sense of worth? Abundance isn’t limited to money, but it is cultivated through community and the sharing of resources (emotional, spiritual, and otherwise). The Sun in your 8th House will remind you of this. You may also be working with this idea of ownership and combating a bit of impostor syndrome. Your investments are taking you a long way right now.
Venus is the ruler of this Full Moon, and it is so sweetly positioned for you. It is in a fellow earth sign, Taurus, and is considered in its domicile. This means it sits in your 9th House, helping you find value in the realms of possibility and potential. It is not always easy to know when or how to take a risk, but you really seem to have a lot of support — more than you realize. Venus reaches out to Neptune in your 7th House, bringing an important figure to your aid. Someone may inspire you or really show up right now. Don’t be bashful. Accept whatever comes your way. Collaboration and co-creation will be beneficial. Partnered relationships will also see a boost at this time!
Jupiter plays an important role at this lunation as it is inching closer to having the Sun join it at the same degree. Jupiter has been expanding your 8th House, bringing light to what has been in the shadow — helping you transmute grief. This has also had you welcome more intimate interactions, perhaps even bringing some financial news as well. Watch for around April 11th, as something will be culminating or illuminated then in regard to personal relationships, finances/debts, and/or your healing path.
Use this Full Moon to find a new source of income or start a business. You may hear some financial news that is helpful. Co-workers may come back around and unresolved issues with self-worth will be more prevalent. Work on establishing your value and redefining what security and success truly look like to you. Recognize what stands in the way of your happiness and prioritize the resources that fill you up.
Libra & Libra Rising
1st House | Autonomy
It is your time to shine, Libra! This Full Moon is in your sign and lighting up your 1st House of identity and self! Now is the time to be you – truly you – without the influence of others. Boundaries are being highlighted, and so is your autonomy.
The Moon is reminding you that you don’t need to rely on anyone else because you hold all of the power to make your life what you want it to be. There is no need to shy away anymore. What inspires you? What fuels you? What makes you energized? You feel seen, heard, and understood. This is a halfway point between a cycle that began for you last October. Partly, the ask here is that you do what actually FEELS right to you. You can begin again and set yourself up for future success, but first, this may require a little introspection. Alternatively, some of you are very visible right now. How are you handling that sort of light? Are you willing to step into it more?
Venus is the leader of this Full Moon. It sits so nicely in your 8th House. There is a commission, bonus, or alternative resource that may come your way. If Venus does not influence you financially, it will be bringing in a sense of peace to you soon. It also highlights the potential of getting very intimate and connected with someone or those around you. Venus in the 8th House can be quite magnetic, especially because it is domicile and happy in Taurus (the current placement). Venus will reach out to Neptune in your 6th — this yields a regenerative quality for yourself. There is a call here to be softer with yourself, too. Perhaps with your routines or your body. Movement focused on ease will serve you best now.
Jupiter has been transiting your 7th House for quite some time. Soon, it will move on but not without a strong conjunction with the Sun. This conjunction is considered one of the “best” days of the year (April 11th). We are building to this now. It will illuminate or expand a relationship or partnership or solidify an agreement. There may be a focus on moving beyond here, as well. This may look like moving beyond a circumstance or person for better things or even your own self-imposed limitations. This energy is quite beneficial and is all about reciprocity for you. The abundance you give is the abundance you will receive.
Use this Full Moon to dive into a world of possibility. Reconnect with your happiness and motivations. What fuels you? What gives you life? Work on re-engaging with your needs and setting your boundaries. Life is about living, and you are being reminded how important that can be. You are center stage!

12th House | Release
We are just a month away from a Full Moon in your sign, so now is the time to start tying up loose ends and finishing things behind the scenes. Keep in mind that we are heading into eclipse season soon, so this is your chance to really rest.
This Full Moon is in your 12th House. The 12th House is about endings and the closing of a cycle. You are being called to slow down and rest right now. The Sun is positioned in your 6th House, so this release or end could be health-related. The Sun energizes your need to be good to yourself, and the Moon ensures that this is done through relaxation and rejuvenation – a time for spiritual and emotional health. You also are bringing so much to fruition now. Even in the chaos, you are finding clarity. You are no stranger to this space — as you navigate through the shadows with true power. It doesn’t make how you feel any less difficult. If you are feeling uneasy, know that a resolution is on its way. Consider this your calm before the storm in a sense.
Happily, Venus leads this lunation in its domicile state of Taurus. It sits in your 7th House bringing up a relationship as the backbone of your success and your joy. Business relationships are fruitful, but romantic ones can be, too. There is a call to share more and find the balance in the give and take. Neptune reaches out to Venus and helps you feel more willing to take a risk because of the support you have. Focus on pleasure and play around this time as much as possible.
This Full Moon ushers in the close relationship between Jupiter and the Sun. These two have been inching closer to one another for a bit, and in just a few days will perfectly join. This will illuminate a health matter or work-related prospect for you. The energy is quite auspicious, so it feels positive overall. You may be feeling physically better or lighter — but there may also be an abundance of projects/work headed your way (if it isn’t here already). Jupiter wants to make sure you are spending time re-energizing your routines as well. Self-care and community care are a must!
Use this Full Moon to work through what has been left unresolved. Tie up loose ends and focus on regaining your personal power. Decide what may need to come to an end, but also celebrate the space for a new beginning. Take time to sit with your feelings and listen to what you pick up in the liminal space.

11th House | Goals
A Full Moon that is lightening things up a bit for you! The past few lunations have been a little harder, as they emphasized your 4th/10th Houses – taking focus away from other areas of your life. So, now you can relax. This Full Moon will remind you of your friends and those that love and support you. Your connections and network have your back, and you’re never alone in what you’re trying to achieve.
It seems that you are closing a chapter on something in your life, as a Full Moon signals release. It is positioned around what you thought your future was going to be. However, you are making space for a new future that is opening more opportunities for you than you had initially considered. This is a shift in perspective. The Sun is energizing your 5th House of play, creation, and children. The New Moon on March 21st highlighted this area more for you, giving you the chance to focus on your passions. Now, the Full Moon will be making space for you. Rely on your friends to help you. Don’t be afraid of what is to come, and try not to have all the answers. Part of the perfection of life is that it is unfolding.
Venus leads this lunation from your 6th House of work. This is very helpful, as it seems that you are making major strides on the work front and health front. It seems that you are getting recognition, but also seeking to find balance in your routines. A work project is going very well, and it may surprise you to see how positive the outcome is — especially as Venus reaches out to Neptune around this Full Moon. Take pride in what is going on work-wise. The Venus/Neptune sextile also calls on ease as a form of self-care. Try to be easier with your body and how you treat yourself now.
Your ruler, Jupiter, has been putting a focus on your 5th House which rules children, creativity, and joy. Around this lunation, the Sun and Jupiter will be getting closer to one another — perfecting a conjunction on April 11th. This energy promotes illumination and positive outcomes. Ideally, for you, this would be a great day for you to create, concept, and ideate. I would love to see you take a step back and truly celebrate yourself and how far you have come up to this point. Focus on your passions, call back your joys, and do something spontaneous for yourself. Also, with Mercury in a strong aspect to Saturn, you can make a great commitment to your health and routines that welcome more of this joyful energy.
Use this Full Moon to come back to a community you may have left behind. Reconnect with old friends and re-establish yourself in the world. Reimagine your goals and focus on your future outcomes. Pay attention to how the present seems to inform your decisions.

You are restoring balance in your life right now. This Full Moon is helping you shed the doubts you have surrounding your career and life direction. It is opening opportunities for you to make some shifts in the long term that can prove to be beneficial.
The Full Moon is in your 10th House, and there can be talks around a promotion or change in work that will leave you feeling more confident. Even with activity going on around the home, with the Sun in your 4th House, the changes are creating a greater sense of security. You are shifting your focus from vision to commitment — ideas to long-term goals. Matters of ‘what you do’ and ‘where you want to go’ will come up. It seems that you have been dreaming up what you desire, and now this Full Moon is giving you a chance to take steps toward that dream. You may also feel just generally a bit busier than normal. The most important piece with a Full Moon in your 10th House is that you are quite visible. People are recognizing you, seeing you, and perceiving you. You may have to release an expectation around the ideas of work ethic or value through your work, as well.
Venus leads this Full Moon, and happily so in a fellow earth sign, Taurus. It is considered in its domicile, so working comfortably! It will be in your 5th House, adding some fun and flavor to your life. It seems things could also be quite social for you as Venus reaches out to Neptune. There may also be some surprising news that comes up with someone close to you. Lastly, Venus invites you to play, play, play! Your child self is calling. Are you answering?
Your home has been a priority for the last while as Jupiter has spent time in your 4th House. Around this lunation, the Sun will be moving closer to Jupiter creating a moment of illumination and clarity. It may even be a breakthrough moment in regard to family, home, or your emotional foundations. If you are hoping to get some work done around the home, redecorate, or celebrate anything with family, this energy will support you. Additionally, this is all about doing what makes you feel safe and comfortable. Focus on creating a sanctuary anywhere you are. Ask yourself what makes you feel safe and explore that more.
Use this Full Moon to help you make the appropriate moves in your career or life direction. Pay attention to pathways that open up in front of you, and reconnect with people from your industry. Seek help for any pending projects or issues from professionals. Rethink what you want out of your long-term goals and make commitments to starting the process.

9th House | Potential
Grow, grow, grow! So far, 2023 has been a series of changes and obstacles and new circumstances for you! You have hosted quite a few planets in your sign and have seen some leave (hello, Saturn). Luckily things are starting to turn a corner!
This Full Moon is in a fellow Air sign, working with you and creating levity. Your 9th House is being amplified, which has you looking to expand your perspective and push you beyond your own boundaries to try something new. Comfort can be the enemy of reward — because it keeps you from engaging in positive risk. Some risks can be helpful as they remind you that sometimes in life you need to have blind faith and trust your gut. The Sun will be in your 3rd House, helping you find more mental clarity as you journey into a new phase in your life. This time of year is all about trying new things and applying the wisdom you have gained from years passed. You may also be asked to use a very specific skill, master a craft, or make your place out in the world as an expert of some sort.
Venus leads this Full Moon in its home sign of Taurus. This energy will jumpstart a theme we will see more of in May, focused on the 4th House — family, home, sanctuary, and your emotional foundations. Right now, this area of your life is bringing you so much more fullness than it once had. It seems like things are coming together. You may be trying to grow your family, redecorating a bit, or even just finding peace in the quiet moments of your life. Neptune works well with Venus, adding an element of inspiration and ease right around this lunation. Focus on your softness and finding intentional slowness.
Jupiter has been in your 3rd House, making you have no shortage of creative ideas. As the Sun and Jupiter prepare to conjunct on April 11th, there is a mindset shift — a new perspective and point of clarity. It seems that things are starting to click for you now. Mentally, you are feeling lighter or even more willing to tackle the ideas you have floating around in your head. This week and next would be ideal times for you to make a commitment, sign a contract, or come up with an agreement. You may also want to just be more social, share your ideas with others, and celebrate your inner circle.
Use this Full Moon to reignite the flame. Get inspired and reflect on all the wisdom you have gained in life. Practically apply knowledge from your past into the present moment, and allow your dreams to take flight. Growth is inevitable— so move with it, not against it.

8th House | Transformation
We are being presented with a Full Moon in Libra. Perhaps, you are figuring out the space you fit in with a partner (whether in business or in your personal life). You can dive deep and unearth the core intentions of those around you, and even your own motives — as you aim to understand power dynamics and share your skills with others. The Sun is shining from your 2nd House, reminding you of the power of your efforts and how you can turn what others fear into something valuable.
Some cycles are meant to be broken, Pisces. This Full Moon brings a culmination to a cycle in your life. However, for you, this shift is felt so much more as your 8th House comes to focus. The 8th House rules intimacy, cycles, magick, shared resources, death/beginnings, and the shadows. You are descending into the shadow and are asked to confront what lies beneath the surface. Resilience is key as you walk through fire and ice to get to the core of what keeps you in your holding patterns. Like a Phoenix, you can rise again, burning brighter, faster, and hotter than ever before — but it may require a personal confrontation with your own limitations first. Consider this a transformation and a metamorphosis for you. From the outside looking in, it may be hard for others to see you breaking down old structures and habits. The cycles are ending, and new ones are being established in their place. In the shadow, you now find more clarity than ever before. This is a chance to call back your power in a big way.
Venus is the leader of this Full Moon. Happily, it sits in its domicile sign of Taurus and in your 3rd house. It seems that contracts or negotiations could prove to be lucrative. Alternatively, there is a sense of local community being a foundation for you. In addition, dialogue, communication, and your ideas are all well-positioned. You could be on fire creatively and really find harmony in the smaller day-to-day. If you have the chance to take a short-distance trip, get out and see some friends, or even just connect with people you love, do it! Venus will ensure you will have a good time! Neptune and Venus sextile, adding dreamy and soft energy around this Full Moon as well. Lean into it!
With Jupiter only spending another month or so in Aries, you will start to see the fruits of your labor come to fruition. The Sun and Jupiter will join hands soon and illuminate a big moment for you in regard to finances, self-worth, and/or your personal talents. You could find ways to be more easeful with yourself. You could do less for more, create a personal focus on abundance, and see new opportunities arise for you. Whatever it is, it seems that good news is on the way. If you want a promotion, raise, new job, or refocus your resources, the next few weeks will be promising — especially around April 11th. With Mars in a fellow water sign, don’t shy away from bold action and take some risks on yourself!
Use this Full Moon to do some shadow work and confront your fears. Open yourself up to the changes in life without controlling outcomes. Focus on reconnecting with parts of yourself that you thought you had lost. Reclaim your power and call back your magick — resilience doesn’t always require grit, somtimes it is soft.
