November 8, 2022, draws close to the 2022 eclipse season with this truth-revealing, shocking full moon lunar eclipse in the sign of Taurus. Get ready for some shake-ups because this eclipse requires that we let go and finally make some permanent endings.
The only thing is that this full moon eclipse is in the fixed, earthy sign of Taurus, and if anyone knows anything about Taurus, change is not always welcome. Nevertheless, in order to experience the transformative energy of the Scorpio-Taurus eclipse cycle, it is necessary for us to let go of the familiarity of Taurus’ long-built foundations, long-standing relationships, or embedded value systems in order to allow in the transformative energy of Scorpio.
We had a heads-up about this two weeks ago with the new moon lunar eclipse in Scorpio. Now, we’re wrapping up this 2022 eclipse cycle with a transformative, shocking bang.
Wrapping Up The 2022 Eclipse Season
This 2022 eclipse season officially draws to a close with a full moon lunar eclipse in the sign of Taurus. Instability is highlighted, so let’s get prepared for not getting what we want. We’ve got the purging, risk-taking sun in Scorpio standing across from the stability and security-seeking moon in Taurus making it very difficult to feel stable emotionally or materially. Over the course of the next couple of days up to six months after the lunar eclipse, incoming truthful information and people have the potential to shake up security.
However, as disruptive as this shakeup eclipse energy may be, there is a method to the madness. The whole purpose of an eclipse is to both remove and bring in experiences, people, places, and things that will move us forward on our evolutionary paths. This eclipse is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do: it’s ending what is outdated. If we’ve been stuck in a Taurus rut just wanting to keep everything familiar and safe, this won’t work as full moons bring culminations. This particular eclipse brings a culmination to something that probably should have ended some time ago.
Due to the oppositional energy between Scorpio and Taurus, balance is needed. We can choose to dig in our heels and resist the change courtesy of Taurus energy or we can let go and allow ourselves to feel the discomfort of instability so that we can bring in new energies that offer us even greater security courtesy of Scorpio.
If we allow our stubbornness to keep us tied to outdated sameness, the oppositional energy of Scorpio could bring experiences that will shake up our foundations in an effort to get us to finally wrap up what is no longer necessary once and for all.
The General Lunar Eclipse Energies
The following are the prominent planetary energies during the full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus.
Sun in Scorpio Conjunct Mercury in Scorpio
With Sun and Mercury sitting together in Scorpio, there is a possibility of hidden information being revealed to provide truth. If people have been using lies and “misinformation” to secure material stability, the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio could drop a truth bomb that sets off this eclipse energy. In any case, this truth, no matter how stinging is necessary.
Sun & Mercury in Scorpio Opposite Uranus in Taurus
Both the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio are opposing Uranus in Taurus bringing in unexpected happenings that cause insecurity. Both the sun and Mercury in Scorpio offer truthful communications that bring truth to light. We may find out about hidden aspects of ourselves and/or others that could rock our stability and security and potentially cause endings that are necessary.
The opposition between Sun/Mercury in Scorpio and the Moon/Uranus in Taurus brings the possibility of incoming information/events that reveals a truth that could potentially cause a disruption in our material stability.
Due to the influence of Uranus, there is an erratic nature to this eclipse that can make it difficult for us to ground the truthful revelations received in a practical manner…despite the influence of Taurus at this eclipse.
Risking the Present For the Future
Many will attempt to hold onto dear life to their stability at this full moon lunar eclipse. However, it’s not going to work. Full moons represent culminations, and the eclipse heightens the ending effect of this energy. It is clear that something needs to be ended, and with the eclipse energy, the effects of this energy will be apparent for up to six months later.
While we can choose to hold onto dear life due to stubbornness or an unwillingness to feel uneasy and unstable due to Taurus, we are in the midst of Scorpio season. In order to evolve, we are pushed to let go of what is familiar. This will require a risk that could potentially disrupt our stability. No matter how uncomfortable this eclipse may feel, there is a higher purpose to all calling us to shed the old to become the new…even if it disrupts our foundations.
One of the major themes of this full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus is that it is necessary to risk our current stability in order to achieve more authentic levels of stability and security. Oftentimes, to evolve life has a way of threatening our security and stability. It is through losing that security that we are propelled to seek more than what we are used to. The catch-22 is that there is greater stability and security on the other side of the risk. We just aren’t aware of it because Taurus energy makes us comfortable and familiar.
Ultimately, If we can manage to balance the energy of Scorpio and Taurus by accepting and allowing the culminations of this full moon eclipse in Taurus to end what is no longer valid, there is the potential to create stability that is aligned with the truth of who we are instead of the stifling yet comfortable familiarity that offers no growth or evolution. Let this full moon eclipse end what is necessary for our higher purpose and greatest good.
