Scorpio Season Meditation on the Power of Inner Peace
Eliminate or Retain
At the Taurus Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon notice the interplay between knowing when to let go and when to hold on. While Scorpio season suggests reckoning with your deepest feelings, the eclipsed Taurus Full Moon invites you to establish a new baseline of inner stability. You may discover an attachment to keeping something the same or an emotion you’ve been unwilling to face. In any case, allow clarity to bubble up from the well of your intuition. Then determine what to eliminate or retain as you bring closure to some part of your life.
An Opportunity to Realign
The Taurus Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon provides an opportunity to realign your core values with your emotional self. For example, perhaps you have money on your mind, but haven’t evaluated your emotional connection to the way you spend or save it. Or maybe you’re contemplating letting go of a relationship but haven’t acknowledged the accumulation of unspoken hurt feelings. In either case, you must admit your emotions to yourself first before the path becomes clear. Because this is the final eclipse in a cycle that began in November 2021, think about what closure you need to bring to a longer personal process. Using your Rising sign, reflect on what you need to let go of and what you need to hold on to for the sake of your inner stability.
