Still not sure what you want to be “when you grow up”? While you may be successful by most standards, it still feels like there is something in your life that hasn’t yet snapped into place. You’re in the middle of a life-changing period, with the eclipse helping you redefine your values and create a new identity. Making changes at your core can be intimidating, but stay the course! Connecting your outward activities with your innermost desires and beliefs will bring you new success without the stress of simply keeping up appearances.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Each time you think you’re making progress, something (or someone) from the past comes back around to slow you down. Regardless of which roadblock you keep running into, the blood moon is helping to clear your way. The eclipse helps shine a light on hidden information, completely changing the way you view your obstacles. Whether giving you the confidence to finally put your foot down or handing you the tools to tackle the issue head-on, it’s time to put this problem behind you once and for all.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
This lunar eclipse is giving you the green light to chase your personal, long-term goals. Someone (or something) has been making you feel guilty about putting yourself first, stopping you from taking steps toward achieving your dreams. The eclipse finally gives you your freedom with surprising news about the person, or thing, holding you back. While this may be negative news, removing your sense of responsibility, there can also be positive changes. If you’ve been channeling your energy into supporting someone else’s goals over your own, this is their chance to finally stand on their own two feet, giving you both a new shot at independence.
LEO (July 23 – Aug. 22)
They’ve underestimated you before, but you’re not about to let it happen again! The lunar eclipse is opening up new doors at work, allowing you to take on opportunities outside your typical day-to-day activities. While this can be daunting, it’s the perfect opportunity to prove what you’re capable of! As you show the doubters that you have what it takes to succeed, you’ll set yourself on a new career trajectory that will bring you more stability in the year to come.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
The lunar eclipse may bring some local political changes with an unexpected impact on your personal life. While this is bound to bring some anxiety immediately following the eclipse, consider this the stars’ way of telling you that your voice matters! You may not have realized how strong your opinions are on certain subjects, but now that you have more clarity, it’s hard not to act. Take this opportunity to be a part of the change you want to see in the world and begin defining your legacy!
LIBRA (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Sometimes, we all need somebody to lean on. However, there’s a limit to how long and how heavily we can depend on others. The lunar eclipse is letting you take your power back and find your independence again. Especially when it comes to financial matters, a sudden change can shake everything up, giving you the upper hand. As you start to explore your new freedom, don’t forget to thank those that you’ve leaned on along the way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
You’ve been ready to take the next step, but someone is holding you back. Whether a business or romantic partner, someone important to you is hesitant to embrace the change you’ve been seeking. In the wake of the eclipse, this person will need to decide whether they’re finally ready to commit. While it’s hard to step back, don’t try to pressure them. As they struggle with their decision, you’ll need to come to terms with your own. Are you done waiting, even if it may mean moving forward alone?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
It’s time to step off the hamster wheel! You’ve been stuck in a pattern of routines imposed by someone else but it’s finally time to break free! In the wake of the eclipse, the rules are getting more flexible and others’ expectations are shifting. Use this to your advantage, pushing the boundaries to reset old systems in a way that works for you!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
You’re finally seeing their true colors, for better or for worse. The lunar eclipse is pulling back the curtain to reveal the real motivations and character of some of your closest friends, family and colleagues. This sudden clarity makes you realize that something needs to change. While this could mean cutting someone toxic out of your life, it could also bring you closer to someone who brings growth and opportunities into your life. If you’re single, watch out! This is your chance (or a secret admirer’s) to break out of the friend zone and strike up a new romantic relationship.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
You’re coming into your own, taking on a new role within your family or professional team. This change brings recognition and responsibilities you’ve been chasing for a while. Finally, you have the opportunity to step into the ring and prove yourself to others but you’ll need to convince yourself first. Big shifts can bring out nervous energy, causing you to doubt your abilities. Take time, through mediation or therapy, to understand where these doubts are coming from. New energy from the eclipse can help you heal from childhood trauma and set off on this new path feeling empowered.
PISCES (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Not everyone has appreciated your ability to think differently, but they’re starting to take you more seriously. The lunar eclipse is opening the door for you to show your flexibility, surprising others with your hidden talents and picking up a few more along the way. You’re craving information, making this the perfect time to learn a new subject or skill. At the same time, you’re also in tune with subtle signals coming from those around you, giving you the upper hand to negotiate for what you want in the workplace.
