Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus, October 28 2023 – Emotional Intensity

Hello Dear Ones. Welcome to Cosmic Leaping. What has this season brought to you? Are you staying on track to find your truth? Life is about joy and love and freedom. Yes, I said freedom. Do you know what that means? It is not about those of you who continue to wear masks, getting booster shots and falling into line and creating havoc because you are scared to death of something which is so unlike what is being said about it. Do you read and think it through? Do you love and share joy? I wanted to rant about all of the things that are being thrown in your face yet I know many will say I am just blowing hot air so I will not do so. Somewhere down the road I may get under your skin and say something that you are not ready to hear. I will not do it now because I feel like Cassandra (asteroid) who told the truth about the future and no one believed her. She is right on my Sun in my chart. That makes my life very interesting. I may throw a zinger in eventually to open your mind to the truth. Have you stayed with your heart song or have you been pulled into the darkness that keeps getting stronger and denser? The world lives on all types of screens and many out there are still unaware of what is actually happening in this grand world of ours. Keep on watching that screen because one day you will wonder why your life went down the rabbit hole and did not come back. If you do your own research it will give you a better perspective on many of the lies and games that are persisting. If you are surrounded by things that are not good for you then you may wish to check what it is that you are thinking about within. What is the hatred about? Is it your own thoughts or is it that you are following the narrative?

News – As I write this post I just heard that there has been a shooting in Lewiston Maine. Back in the day I lived not too far from there. They know who the shooter was yet no one seems to know where he is. The number keeps changing as to the dead. 22 people are dead as of last night and then now 18 are dead. How does that change?  Others are wounded.  On another note- did the Ukraine news go away? If one wants to read what is going on it is now in the background since the Hamas-Israel fracas is going on. Of course remember Iran and Jordan and US are involved. America is naturally about the money. Oh I forgot the Covid19 story that is being buried especially who was involved and what the main objective is. And yes, there is a new Speaker of the House- Michael Johnson. Interesting choice!

The Full Moon in Taurus arrives on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at 4:23pm EDT; 1:23pm PDT; and 9:23pm GMT in 5 degrees 09’. Sun is in the exact degree in Scorpio. Changes are the word for this FULL MOON, Partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus. It can be intense energy coming to you. It may be a better time to look at finances for the future or you will be pulled into the very sensual part of your life. This is a time to work on clearing up past patterns that have been holding you back from personal fulfillment, particularly those that are centered around sharing, possessiveness, comfort, and self-esteem matters. Be careful who you may get involved with in this area of your life especially new relationships. You learn that you need to get in touch with your needs for a stronger connection to your physical natures and needs. To feel fulfilled, you need to acknowledge and embrace your need to take care of yourselves and feel grounded and strong as individuals. Moon in Taurus is the caregiver and wants everyone to feel good. Taurus Moon brings to Scorpio Sun integrity, trust, honor, truth, and kindness. And of course it also brings love. And it also looks for truth. It loves the pleasures of the home. How about giving up control and surrendering to the moment? Taurus is patient and will wait forever for everything to unfold as it is deemed. Now, I know there is a negative side to a Taurus energy which is resistance. That comes when one is out of balance. Since Taurus is ruled by Venus it is the creativity, arts and love. Both Taurus and Scorpio are “fixed” signs. They are persevering, and capable of commitment on a high level. Both jump into the sexual experience. Do you know what Taurus loves-to be touched and to touch? Scorpio is filled with passion and will go with the intimacy but it has to trust first. With the Sun in Scorpio opposing the Moon in Taurus something may come up from your subconscious to enlighten you since Scorpio is about transformation and the deepest part of your psyche.

However the Moon and Jupiter in Taurus are opposed to Sun, Mercury and Mars in Scorpio.  These are hard aspects to the Moon and may bring about a power struggle. There may be aggressive behavior and my suggestion is to stay out of it. The Mars opposite Moon makes it very honest so if you don’t’ want to hear it…shut your ears. Since Mercury is involved there may be some unexpected information that comes to the forefront. Keep the projects simple and do not dive into long-term items at this time. And due to the fact that Mercury is conjunct Mars be careful of words in what you write or tweet at this time. Big mouth is a great term for this aspect. Since Venus is in a grand trine this may be good for finances and love. One question to ask-What do you value in yourself? Since this is a partial lunar eclipse also it is a far more potent lunation. Look to the house the lunar eclipse falls in your natal chart. The affairs of that house activate. Does the eclipse fall on a planet in your natal chart?

Anyone with Taurus/Rising Sign close to the 5 Degrees Taurus (1-8) will feel this even more powerfully. Also being affected will be Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius from 1-8 degrees. If you have any personal planets also near the degree then you will also be affected in the house it falls. Birthdays are: April 21-28; July 24-31; October 25-November 1; and January 22-29.   Here are some tidbits:

Aries-What is missing that you start to notice? Express yourself and others come around. You may find it hard to relax. Balance the finances. Take a deep breath.

Taurus -Why are you emotionally uncertain? What can you learn about close relationships? Do not expect too much from others. Walk your own path.

Gemini-Oh, so you are in protective mode and hiding your feelings? You do find way through confusion. Recharge your batteries is good keyword.

Cancer-You need to stay in touch with your heart even when you are nervous. Stop talking yourself out of your real feelings. Find some new connections.

Leo-How many of your emotions do you bring into your workplace? You can let those around you get to know you better there. Focus on career.

Virgo-It is one step at a time. Looking for your dreams? They may just show up now. You may attend a job seminar. Use determination to follow through.

Libra-Let go of the past. Major transformation is in process. What’s next step? Not yet. Team up with responsible individuals. Reevaluate other’s intentions.

Scorpio- Your feelings are being reflected back to you. Share heart in present moment with one you love. Who is being inflexible…you are someone else?

Sagittarius – Watch for unrealistic ambitions. Heed what others say so you can make a move down the road. Look at all options before making decision.

Capricorn-You are looking for pleasure. It shows up. Spend some time on your dreams. Where do you want to take it? Creative is the keyword.

Aquarius- Stop pretending everything is fine if it is not. Address family issues. Be honest. It is time to simplify your life. Lay a deeper foundation than your ever did.

Pisces- Honesty is best. Express your point of view to those who need to hear itA higher purpose arrives if you take care of routine and build something valid.

Some essential oils for this Full Moon are: Bergamot-to help let go of control; Rose or Rosewood-for those who have any old grief that shows up; Orange-to uplift and be more optimistic; and Lavender- mental stress.

Thank you for reading and share if you will. Let the Full Moon in Taurus take you to a place you have never been before!!!! Remember to get those intentions for clearing out things that no longer matter. Be blessed. Until again, love, Jan

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra, October 14, 2023- How will you relate?

Hello Dear Ones. Welcome to Cosmic Leaping. The sun is shining brightly and I am sitting here watching the birds fly about the trees in my yard. They had disappeared for weeks and I am sure they will be out of here in the next week.  What is it that keeps your attention these days? Is it your own life, job or relationships? Are you sitting in a quandary and not know which way to go? Do stay in the moment? Many of you may be out of balance because you haven’t taken a deep breath in months. Nothing is so important that you need to fear the unknown. The New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse which will support shifts in your consciousness and bring opportunities to see, feel, and respond differently. It will affect your relationships since major shifting occurs. Are you allowing the darkness that is out there to bring fear to the max within you? Is this keeping you out of balance? Have you been pulled into that darkness? If so, your heart will show you the way out of that energy. Will you allow it to do so? Pull yourself together and move forward with love and stop hating since that tells me you dislike yourself entirely. The consciousness is shifting even if you are one who is resistant to any kind of change. Are you one of the resistors? The more you resist the worse it becomes within and without.

As I write this Hamas has attacked Israel a day or so ago. And the fighting persists and elevates to a dangerous level. This is a warning to you out there in the world. Nothing is as it seems. What you think is the bottomline is far from it. You will see what the truth is if you open to it. Since the U.S. is supportive of Israel why did they not see this coming since they have devices all over the world and those individuals who have this information in place also?  Where was Israeli Intelligence? Does the world want WW3 and a nuclear wipeout? What is the issue here? I hope someone wakes up. What is the truth? By the way – The Zelensky speech to the NATO National Parliament was cancelled.  Why is there a Dearborn Michigan theater filled with those cheering on an organized terrorist group?

And the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra arrives at 1:58pm EDT; 10:58am PDT; and 5:58pm GMT in 21degrees 8’. The Sun is in the exact degree with the Noon. Libra is about balance, diplomacy and even win-win situations. It is about loving, joy and lots of fun too!!! Libra says no need to be aggressive at all. Libra likes good conversations and truly knows how to listen. The New Moon is conjunct Mercury in Libra which helps with new communication which can be more pleasant and diplomatic. Eclipses are about bringing new beginnings into your life. Ask yourself right now -what do you need to know right now that is currently being obscured from your view? You may choose to take other people’s wants into consideration even as you choose your own. If you have a goal in mind then in order to make it happen decide to take action as the New Moon arrives. Be ready so that if you need to do rearrange something then do that now. Your mood may be more sensitive to your loved ones. Since Libra is a Cardinal air sign the New Moon says to lighten up a bit in your interactions and feeling the wind behind you as a burst of energy may bring you some motivation to take action on your deepest dreams. New people and new ideas may just come in as you take a leap.

The New Moon is inconjunct (150 degrees) Uranus in Taurus. It can bring to you a new insight or you may not notice it at all due to a blindspot.  You may wish to do something a bit differently to make things a bit more flowing for you and those around you. On October 10, 2023 Pluto went direct in Capricorn and will be in forward motion so it is a good time to seek counseling if needed or just take the time to look inward since it can help you transform whatever needs to be. There also may be scandals in the headlines or hidden items coming to the forefront in the world. But on the other hand Pluto is square the New Moon. If there are areas in your life which you struggle then this may help you to shift the pattern even when you try to fight it. Keep in mind New Moons are all about new starts for the next month or a new project. By looking at past behaviors and patterns also it will give you an opportunity to do things in a new way. Is there something that is not working as well as you would like it to in a connection?  Then perhaps Chiron in Aries which opposes the New Moon in Libra is trying to tell you to come up with a new way to address it. It may point out that something is not working as well as it could and you decide to let it go once and for all. On the other hand, it can bring mating or creating a new relationship which takes you on a new road to enjoyment. Support is there is you are looking for it!

Keep in mind New Moons are all about new starts for the next month or a new project. By looking at past behaviors and patterns also it will give you an opportunity to do things in a new way. Stay in the moment with relationships and no matter what shows up, be patient. It is a time to walk with your partner as they walk their own path,

Those signs most intensely affected are: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn in degrees of 17-25. If you have personal planets (Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars) in those degrees then you may be affected. Birthdays are approximately April 7-15; July 9-17; October 7-15; and January 8-16. Tidbits for signs and rising signs:

Aries- If you are looking for a new start in relationships then it happens. Watch out for unexpected disruptions that interfere in starting again. Who is it that comes in and brings joy?

Taurus- Rebelliousness will not work here. Who is standing in your way? This is a time to look at your home, your workplace and your relationships and improve something. A new health plan may begin.

Gemini-What unexpected happening comes in and stirs you up? There are good times to celebrate and play in a relationship. Get your creative mode back in action. Romance is in the air.

Cancer – Smooth over those differences in your home. Express yourself. Are you looking to move into a new home? Stay harmonious no matter what is going on. Watch for emotional complications.

Leo – Watch for imbalance in relationships and other connections. Let the harmony reign supreme as you look to be a bit more creative in your communication or interactions. Nurture others. Travel anyone?

Virgo – Take a closer look at finances as the New Moon appears. Try to create a more realistic budget. If you are looking to make more money then what are you waiting for? Go for it. Balance money plan.

Libra – This is your time to shine since you are in the limelight. Do you seek to change something about yourself or just stay at your best? Is there a new direction now? Harmony is the key.

Scorpio – Try to put things in perspective. You may need to just pull away a bit and find a quiet time for you. Choose what you want in a wise way and get closer in a relationship. Seek balance within.

Sagittarius – If you are planning a late night to party it would be better to bring some harmony to an earlier time. Plan to move forward with new plans and friendships. Go within and heal past wounds.

Capricorn – What is your ambitious choice at this time? Do you wish to take a step doing something else? It looks like good things are coming your way. Be patient. Positive associations come to you.

Aquarius – Someone new may pop in at this time. Keep the love and harmony shining through! Travel plans may come about soon or are you planning to take a new course? Find some meaning in your life.

Pisces – Changes, changes and more changes are showing up. Keep the flow going so that transformation may take place. Credit or purchases may be on the table. It is time to make a fiscal move.

Thank you for reading and sharing. I am most grateful for those who follow this blog. Take a breath as the new moon arrives so that if balance is needed then you allow it to come in. Have a transformative time and be in the moment. Stay out of any craziness. Be blessed. Until again, love, Jan
