what is a lunar eclipse?
a lunar eclipse is when the earth casts a shadow on the moon, blocking the light of the sun.
Lunar eclipses provide powerful portals to do shadow work, mirrored by the earth casting a shadow on the moon itself. With the moon in Taurus, it adds in an all loving, motherly + nourishing energy to hold us as we embark into the shadows.
With the sun in Scorpio - opposing the moon in Taurus - we have the intensity of this current zodiac sign vibrating all around us.
This full moon is like a tender hug, meant to offer a reprise from all the transforming and transmuting of Scorpio, which can overload our bodies and minds with nervous energy.
This Taurus Lunar eclipse is like an energetic pit-stop through the death + rebirth of Scorpio, meant to invite in some ease and tender connection to our bodies + Madre Tierra.
This lunar eclipse I invite you to move into loving stillness and acknowledge just how far you've come. To let go - for a moment - from all the ways you want to change and evolve.
Can you let yourself feel just how magickal the present moment is?
Sometimes we get caught up in all that we want to fix and change, and this is your invitation into full presence, rather than flux. Receive a deep breath in and release a deep breath out. Look up from your device and see the swirling of colors and light. Perhaps you can smell some incense burning, or the lingering smells and tastes from the day. Can you open your ears for a moment, letting your attention drift from sound to sound? How about feeling the textures of all the yummy fabrics on your skin? In this moment, allow life to be really simple.
This lunar eclipse is an invitation to just be - and to allow your natural being-ness to be enough.
Taurus reminds us that we are whole, complete, safe and secure, always having our needs met with loving attention and care by the universe. As you unfold into the grounding energy of this eclipse, notice your thoughts, yet remind yourself not to overthink any one topic in particular.
This is your time to receive an energetic pause, so give yourself permission to soften into the sacred space Taurus is creating for you.
Taurus opens us up to see the beauty all around us. This Lunar Eclipse is a powerful time to connect with Madre Tierra - Mother Earth - and her bountiful beauty. Perhaps you bring home fresh flowers and smell their magnificence. Maybe a barefoot walk in the cool grass will bring you home. Sometimes its a delicious brew of homemade herbal tea that reminds us of Earth and her healing powers.
Whatever inspires you to come home, into the present moment and into your body, can give you that special and sweet energetic pause. You've come so far. You deserve this rest. Now, put your feet up, drop your mind into your body and receive this magickal present moment for all its glorious beauty!
tools for embodiment
embodiment is the process of dropping your mind into your body. it is the quickest way to the present moment and can create the sensations of time warping - time speeding up or slowing down. it has the power to relieve anxiety, enhance your intuition and strengthen your connection to spirit.
ideas for taurus lunar eclipse embodiment:
❁ get out in nature or connect to the earth in some way. brew a delicious tea and receive the earth’s healing; go for a barefoot nature walk; gaze up at the moon and deepen your breath to connect with her; anything that brings you closer to mother earth is a nature embodiment of taurus
❁ use the high five tool. each morning when you rise, greet yourself in the mirror and give yourself a high five. even better - do this naked. high vibes are celebratory gestures that indicate we are safe, all is well and its time to rejoice. by giving yourself a high five first thing in the morning, you can psychologically repattern your mind to begin feeling safer to greet the day and send subconscious messages that the day is worth rejoicing for; that you are safe, held and protected. it may seem silly at first, but I urge you - just do it, it works.
❁ connect to your body through movement. dance, song, yoga, breathwork and strength training are all powerful tools to keep the mind integrated with your body. movement sends chemicals to the brain that strengthen the neural pathways of self-love. showing up for your body indicates your desire to nurture yourself, which the brain remembers and strengthens the patterns of this self love over time.
