Moonstone Tarot

On the 25th October 2022 there will be a partial solar eclipse, which means that the moon passes between the sun and the earth, temporarily blocking rays of sunlight. There are many mythological tales that try to describe why these astrological phenomenon happen and what it means for us here on earth. It is important to give ourselves perspective of the fact that we are but a tiny spec in the Universe and have limited capacity to understand or conceptualise the true nature of how things work. With that being said as inquisitive humans we have taken time to study the planets, their movements and relations to us and one another. Spiritually during an eclipse (or eclipse season 25th oct – 8 Nov) it can be a time for intense spiritual awakenings since it is a time when the energy is charged and potent as well as the veil to the other side is thinner.

Since this Eclipse is happening in the sign of Scorpio this will influence the nature of the energy or challenges of the season. Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto and although a water sign can more accurately be described as hot lava with an especially fiery nature. Scorpios are quite intuitive and psychic and often feel connected to the underworld and shadow work so might work with Guides like Medusa, Lilith, Anubis, Lord Shiva, Mother Kali, ect. This eclipse is forcing us to look at our shadows (feelings or memories that trigger lower vibrational emotions like anger, fear, frustration, depression) and how they relate to emotional blockages we face in the way we relate to others.

Tips to get through this Intense Energy:

1. Salt Baths – a great way to release energy and cleanse, even if its just for the feet and hands.
2. Burning cleansing smoke (incense, sage or whatever you prefer to use) in your home
3. Journaling your dreams since there are a lot of message coming through at this time
