Hold on the roller coaster is just starting to move faster.
The first eclipse on April 30 is a Solar Eclipse in the sign of Taurus. The second eclipse is a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Scorpio. The ancients believed that during an eclipse,” the mighty will fall”. They bring endings and beginnings– births and deaths. The energy from an eclipse can last up to six months and can also become active a month before the actual eclipse.
Solar Eclipse on April 30 at 10 degrees of Taurus
This Solar Eclipse will be visible in Antarctica and the Southern Tip of South America.
Solar Eclipses tend to relate to sudden events that disrupt our day-to-day functioning; they are crisis that seems to come out of nowhere and that suddenly demands all of our conscious attention and focus. They tend to stir things up on a physical and conscious level much more than Lunar Eclipses.
A Solar Eclipse is a powerful new moon so make plans for the future. Set your intentions during this eclipse around Taurus themes – your values, banking, property, housing, land, food production, and farming. The six months following this eclipse is an ideal time to make a fresh start in all of these Taurus areas.
This Solar eclipse is conjunct Uranus the planet of liberation and rebellion at 14 degrees of Taurus. With Uranus in the picture, we could see disruptions in the food supply and sudden geomagnetic events. Uranus is truth and awakening. He can bring clarity to a situation. This eclipse also sextiles Mars so we could see battles for personal freedom or a favorable opportunity to take a big bold action.
The ruler of this eclipse is Venus, the planet of love,
diplomacy, and harmony. Venus rules money and Taurus craves financial security. Venus is in Pisces and conjunct to the rare Jupiter/Neptune conjunction. Venus here will boost the energies of the Jupiter/Neptune energies. We could become indulgent and go over the top with spending or excess of any kind. Since Neptune rules oil and water among other things, this could mean higher oil prices and flooding. Also, Pluto, the planet of corruption, passion, and obsession is stopping in the sky at 28 degrees of Capricorn and turning retrograde. Adding Pluto to the Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune conjunction could lead to the revelation of secrets.
This Solar Eclipse is opposite Vladimir Putin’s Venus at 11degrees of Scorpio. He will become aware of his financial situation and his popularity because of changes in those areas.
I think the end of the month will be a wild and crazy ride with surprising and sometimes shocking information coming in. And Venus with Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces in a tight conjunction can create compassion, inspired art, and love of mankind. This triple conjunction in a sextile to Pluto can bring massive creative power and transformation. Maybe the secrets and the wake-up call that happens during this eclipse will cause a positive response in the collective.
Lunar Eclipse on May 16 at 25 degrees of Scorpio
This eclipse will be visible In North and South America, Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia. Check here to see if it will be visible in your part of the world.
On a Lunar Eclipse, something will end and on a Solar Eclipse, something will begin. A Lunar Eclipse is an opportunity to break habits or eliminate socially conditioned patterns of thoughts and behaviors that stand in the way of self-realization.
A Lunar Eclipse can make us more aware of our patterns, and our unconscious motivations. This period of time can bring up old memories and feelings. Full moon eclipses can bring things to completion that you have been working on. The Sun opposite the Moon lights up the Moon and brings previously unexamined areas of your life into awareness. Repressed energies emerge for confrontation and resolution. Pay attention to your dreams. Lunar Eclipses are more emotional than Solar Eclipses. Lunar Eclipses shine a light on things we weren’t aware of.
We will have eclipses on the Taurus Scorpio axis of the zodiac
for the next year and a half. So this denotes a cycle of change that relates to our values, our possessions (Taurus) and our ability to regenerate our lives (Scorpio).
A Lunar eclipse is a very unstable energy. Change is in the air, but don’t start anything new until June. Mercury is going retrograde from May 10 thru June 3, so wait a few weeks after June 3 to start a new project. But the lunar eclipse will open you up to accepting new ideas.
This is a very complex Lunar Eclipse because of the many other planets that it is aspecting. It is in a trine to Mars at 23 Pisces, squares Saturn at 24 Aquarius, in a sextile to Pluto at 28 Capricorn, and in a trine to Neptune at 24 Pisces. I’m going to take a stab at what could result from all of these planets involved with the Lunar Eclipse. Mars could represent taking positive action. Neptune could mean our direction is confusing or we are being deceived. Pluto means that the Lunar Eclipse is shining a light on news or events that reveal corruption or something that was buried. But some of the aspects are beneficial. The eclipse sextiles Pluto and trines Neptune so what come up could be healing in some way.
