A Scorpio moon usually riles up the emotional need for power and control through scenarios that have a tendency toward the intense and dramatic. But this is no ordinary moon; this is a partial solar eclipse boosting the power even more for important changes and transitions. Eclipses are like wild cards that carry the potential to bring either positive events or difficulties. As always in the process of astrological evaluation, a polarity exists through this influence that will trigger areas of concern related to the affairs of the transit house as well as its opposing house. You can expect activity to begin shortly by the next new or full moon, but it may have already started several days before the eclipse. Especially notable is if the eclipse falls in an angular house or on a natal or progressed planet; significant events will occur symbolized by the nature of that planet.
For the collective, this eclipse is exactly linked to transiting Venus. (Aside from the transit house, look to the houses ruled by Venus in your natal chart for further insight.) Quite fittingly, this eclipse occurs in the second house of resources in this moon chart signaling the need to focus on plans that bring you a sense of financial stability. Over the next six months to a year, you’ll in some measure experience an income change and possibly a change in values. This may take the form of a reassessment of your comfort, finances, and assets. Your considerations will take into account spending and savings practices and long range goals such as the purchase of a home as an investment toward financial solidity.
Although you may have concerns regarding the risk for loss, the influence is generally a positive indication for finances placing you in a position of safety and security. You’re protected from deceivers, loss, and theft, but it does require a review to safeguard what you have accrued. Should you face the possibility of impending loss, care and prudence can help you avoid it.
This eclipse will also create circumstances that connect to your emotional security. The Part of Love is sitting on the Ascendant of the relationship axis (as well as the Part of Mother, Part of Daughters, Part of Spirit, Part of Fortune, and Part of Merchandise). Each may shed some light on how you respond to love, the effect of your relationship to the mother figure, clues to gaining wealth, and the awareness of your conscious ability to change the environment through personal choices and actions. This eclipse series is about being forceful and taking power as a result of events that manifest through group activity, relationships, and sudden sexual encounters.
For some, there are links to new technology, invention, and science. Regardless of career, your efforts can be very original with a perspective that brings new possibilities. Fated events may tie to mysteries that cultivate interest in astrology, astronomy, science, physics, or the ancient past. The focus in the coming months may turn toward outer space and intelligent life on other planets (NASA just launched a study on ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’).
This influence is also about faith in the future and can prompt those with a strong social conscience to seek ways to offer benefit to people and/or the structures of society. The keyword is penetration and highlights individuals who possess the profound and studious mind adapted to research and thus strives to bring the light of truth into a world of darkness. For you personally, it may be the all-consuming effort to discern the core of matters, gain entry into new fields, or move past barriers. Scorpio is a sign known for its investigatory and probing nature with a powerful resolve to find the hidden. And of course, there is that sexual undertone that is a part of this eclipse.
