solar eclipse in Scorpio

JUPITER

Besides venus, the closest aspect for this lunation is from JUPITER at 0* Aries. In uranian astrology 0° of the cardinal signs is a sensitive degree that connects us to the world at large and acts as a universal ASC/MC, the two most essential angles of any given chart. Jupiter retrograde is inconjunct from the eclipse, meaning there's a disconnect between the planets that would normally bring joyful support.

For others experiencing more ease with this period, this aspect could make it seem as though destines things are manifesting effortlessly.

MARS & PLUTO

Additional broader aspects include a trine from MARS, the lord of this eclipse, just as it begins to station retrograde at 25°gemini. Meanwhile, PLUTO is squared by the venus/eclipse. The planets of death and destruction play a crucial role in this transformational period. We have already experienced the peak of what this energy could feel like around October 19-21st. The height of these astrological forces was most potent when the sun and venus perfected their aspects to both mars and pluto; who continue to be at a pretty exact quincunx to one another. We can read this a few different ways, like increased sexual passions or invisible flexes of power and charm. But more than likely, the circumstances that linger beyond these two weeks will highlight the mistrusts we have faced within ourselves and others.

Most people have a significant experience that becomes a marker of the eclipse, which could take place from 2 weeks before to 4 weeks after the season. Because this cycle is taking place in the fixed signs, we can anticipate the momentum to develop well into next year, at least until the consecutive pair of eclipses.

Patience and perseverance

Throughout multiple aspects, this chart indicates a long period that will have us reworking some parts of our story. We are purging and recycling before making way for new growth. After all, mars will station direct on Jan 12th 2023, so we may not have instant gratification for our effort or begin to see any results until spring. Mars passes its initial position before the eclipse/retrograde in mid-March.

Many people begin to experience their changing feelings more clearly; they can no longer romanticize a lifestyle that isn't for them anymore. It's a time to be inspired to find something more meaningful.

It's a great time to be honest about your relationships, finances, addictions, and trust issues. Take this time to unlearn harmful tendencies or limiting beliefs around love, femininity, wealth, and beauty. This cycle can very easily support holistic detoxes from toxins, parasites, and even hedonistic habits, like overindulgence with processed sugar. Take this period to prioritize rest and slowly recharge.
