It might occur to you to cut back spending (including of your time, energy, or money) on anything that seems frivolous or excessive as Mars in Scorpio faces off with Jupiter in Taurus. You could notice an investment or expenditure creates much more waste or work for you than makes sense.

It could feel like you’ve been going through a phase of physical, emotional, and spiritual fasting as the lunar eclipse culminates in your sign, Taurus.

If your joy has been undernourished, perhaps it’s time to break fast and dig into some metaphorical soul food!

Gemini: May 21, 2023 - June 21, 2023

You’ve been unstoppable, nose to the grindstone, lately. The lunar eclipse in Taurus signals it’s time to pause, switch gears, and reconnect with what’s sacred to you. You might stand in your own way by pushing yourself past your capacity if you feel yourself too deep in the zone to slow down. Consider it a sign that your body is setting a boundary for you if you feel unwell or forced to take rest as Mercury in Scorpio faces off with Jupiter in Taurus. Head’s up!

Mercury in Scorpio also faces off with Jupiter today, signaling big feelings coming to the surface as eruptions reveal something that’s been left unsaid for too long.

Sagittarius: November 22, 2023 - December 21, 2023

The little things are adding up in a significant way under today’s lunar eclipse in Taurus.

Pisces:  February 18, 2023 - March 20, 2023

Something that seems so simple or fundamental could turn out to be more complex or misunderstood under today’s lunar eclipse in Taurus.

Conversations with trusted partners can offer the support you need to discern and distill the information you need at the moment. Give yourself the freedom to slow down and really connect with new knowledge you’re encountering rather than trying to swallow metaphorical seas of facts, opinions, and commentary in the span of minutes, hours, or a day.
