SOLAR ECLIPSE IN TAURUS
We have officially entered Eclipse Season! We'll be experiencing the Partial Solar Eclipse in Taurus @ 10 degrees on the 30th of April 2022.
This energy will be most potent at the time of this Eclipse (20:42 BST) and over the following fortnight. The dynamics that transpire will be setting the tone for the rest of the year, into January 2023.
Oftentimes, Eclipses can feel dramatic, chaotic or even destined. Eclipses are ruled by the Lunar Nodes in Astrology, which creates that karmic, fated flavour that plays out in our lives.
This is a time where synchronicities and sudden endings can run rampant. Eclipses hold the power to bring us drastic new beginnings, laying down the groundwork of our individual + collective paths moving forward.
Depending on where the Eclipse falls into our charts, we can see this manifest either internally, externally and most definitely collectively.
By looking into your personal house and planetary placements around Taurus, Pisces, Scorpio and Capricorn, we can gain deeper insight and context towards setting intentions moving forward.

Following up from the Full Moon in Libra, this Solar Eclipse encourages us to embrace any unconventionality towards our dreams, values and find the supportive information to aid in our transformation process - as additionally influenced by Mercury’s trine to Pluto.
The Sun, Moon and Uranus conjunction in Taurus can collectively influence our sense of self, emotional safety and sense of innovation. Taurus is the fixed sign, ruled by Venus. Represented by the bull, Taurus can be known to be loyally set in their ways, down to Earth and experiences the world through the tangible and sensory.
The North Node, also in Taurus, encourages us collectively to embrace rebuilding substantial values towards crafting our lives and sense of livelihood. Taurus North Node influences us to cultivate the stability, security and contentment we deeply crave as we work to shed collective and individual trauma. We are pushed to expose the shadow of any misused power so we may liberate ourselves once and for all.
As we’ve been rebuilding our lives over the past two years, the North Node highlights to us to define and distinguish the difference between want and need.
Are we being driven by the scarcity mindset of overcompensatory desire or moving through the world tactfully by tending to our core values and needs?
The energies supporting this Solar Eclipse are concentrated in the sign of Pisces, where we will currently find Mars, Jupiter, Venus and Neptune occupying this mystical sign. This configuration can inspire us to marinate in the more spiritual, compassionate and ethereal elements of our existence: to wear our hearts on our sleeves, nourishing our inner creativity and constructing our lives as if it were a dream - especially with the exact conjunction between Venus and Jupiter - which embodies ‘dream come true’.
How this transpires will vary between each person and their perspective. How we channel our creativity can either serve us constructively or as a method of escapism or detriment. Sometimes, we need just a dash of both, drawing on the dissolved boundaries that is typical of the Pisces archetype to concoct a solution.
Mars in Pisces, which will be sextile to this Solar Eclipse, can act as a supportive force towards pursuing the more compassionate and mystical aspects towards our lives. Depending on how this energy plays out, this influence has the potential to inspire or the capacity to confuse as Pisces can also represent illusion or deception. Luckily, this influence will lead us towards the direction that is intended for us, where the process of confusion will eventually reveal clarity.
As we pay attention to what is happening within and around us, we’ll be given clear signs of where to invest our energies of new beginnings and laying any endings down to rest. Uranus’ influence can bring about innovation, shock-value and the unexpected which can help us chart our course corrections to support out best interests.
Will this time be easy? Probably not. However, we won’t be short of surprises. With Saturn squaring off with both the Lunar Nodes, this can show us where and what may be holding us back from our growth and destiny.
We are encouraged to embrace and surrender to the synchronicities or surrealism that may come our way. We will be called to interpret the messenger of madness that the Uranus’ influence can bring. The effects of this Solar Eclipse calls us to challenge and integrate any resistance to change we may be holding onto.
This Eclipse asks us to deeply listen to our internal dialogue in order to re-magnetise our internal compass. To invite the energy of allowance, acceptance and aspiration to our daily lives. To truly discern the differences between core needs and flights of fancy dressed as desire or societal constructs of happiness.
What actions can we take from unexpected inspiration or events? What information will best support our transformation? These are just a few major themes this Partial Solar Eclipse can reveal to us.
I pulled some cards and created some additional journal prompts to further contemplate navigating these energies, so you can check that out below or book a bespoke reading with me here.
