Full Moon Blessings to you! On Saturday, October 28th, the Taurus Blood Moon is exact at 1:24pm PST, while the Partial Lunar Eclipse is exact at 1:14pm PST.

This Taurus moon (ruled by Venus) activates our earthy, sensual nature. With the partial lunar eclipse happening, you will be supported through this great transition by giving yourself exquisite self-care, honouring your feelings, and connecting with Mother Earth's lands and waters.

The Taurus Full Moon will be eclipsed with the light of the Scorpio Sun (one of the most potent sign combinations in the zodiac!) to reveal our deepest feelings and sacred desires related to pleasure, depth of connection, revelations and freedom within the body. It also can bring up where you limit these essential parts of your life to create needed transformation.

This eclipse will complete the lunar node cycle that commenced in November of 2021. This is the celestial invitation to celebrate, complete and graduate from a chapter in your life. Something (or many things) are ending in your life to make way for new growth, infused with strength and power!

To actively create closure, this is a powerful time portal to immerse in prayer, gratitude, forgiveness, self-love, sensuality and grounded connection.

This will also open the space to consciously make new choices for your life that support your Freedom, Sovereignty and Empowerment.

You may feel an urge to sing and dance, emote or rejoice. You may feel the urge make love or to sob. And potentially both. Whatever your truth is, allow the expression of your feelings to flow through your body to activate healing and transformation within.

Give yourself permission for any sadness, grief, anger, or fear to have their holy moment by being acknowledged and felt. Any distorted beliefs that have been leading your life can be revealed and dissolved. Honour and thank them for how they have served you and with power of your choice, let them go!

On the other side of the shadow is liberation! Through this deep excavation of your being, you are creating space for a potent rebirth of love and true mastery for your life and for the benefit All.

Through the eclipsing of shadow and light, know that you are supported and blessed.

Full Moon Eclipse Ritual Suggestions
(Extended Version)

Make Space: Initiate Release and create beauty at the same time by going through your cupboards, closet, garage etc... and let go of the excess. Spaciousness feels so good and you open yourself up to more internal power and creative life-force.
Be Still: With so much frequency shift happening now, simply closing your eyes to pay attention to your breath to pause for 5 minutes will do wonders for your nervous system (especially if you can do this 3 times a day, and longer than 5 if possible. Do what you can). Make sure to get a long and full sleep.
Burn It Up. Affirm Your Truth: Write a list of the mental baggage that is happening inside that mind of yours. Beliefs, stories, habits. All that you are done with! Free it up. Give it voice. Let it out! Let it go and burn it (safely) with a candle or campfire or fireplace. Then proceed to ritual below.
Eclipsing Earth Connection: Stand or walk on the earth with bare feet. Imagine roots growing down from your feet and/or your womb space to the womb of Mother Gaia. Feel this as an anchoring pillar of light connecting you to the Earth and welcome in the magick of the Moon descending down from above moving through you, as you continue to send the energy deep into the earth to ground you, release stagnant or pent up emotional energy and have you feeling supported and nourished for rebirth.
Take Off The Mask: Feel into any ways that you may be inauthentic with yourself and any masks that you may be wearing that aren't serving the essence of who you are. Draw or paint these out or write them down and then lay to rest any of the false faces that you may be wearing. In this way, the more you peel away the masks that aren't you, the more you can rise into the truth of who you are, right now, and emerge more fully as your radiant self.
Empty The Mind. Feel Into Your Dreams: Give yourself the gift of moving from your head to your heart. It's an auspicious time to FEEL your dreams. Your goals. Your desires. Scorpio is all about feeling. Bring any visuals or ideas about what you'd like to experience for your life into the visceral experience of your body. In this way, you are sending out messages to the universe to magnify these experiences into your life. Take some time to literally experience how your desires and dreams FEEL in your body. This is truly the magick of creating your life.

Dream Illumination & Sacred Release Journal: What dreams is your soul illuminating for you at this time? What sacred desires are being called into the light? What visions do you have for yourself? How can you clarify and amplify your dreams? Why are they meaningful and full of purpose? What is between you and your dreams? What is stopping you from living them (focusing on your own patterns, thought forms, behaviors, beliefs)? Burn this paper now for sacred release in a fire or with candles outside in the full moon light. Dance / speak/ move/ sound it out. After the moon has eclipsed (and you feel more space within you), write down and speak aloud how you now choose to commit and devote yourself to your dreams. How you can take action, receive support and rest into the divine timing of these dreams.
Heart Share: Write a letter, make a phone call or speak with a person you need to communicate with for any completions. Express your truth with heart and sincerity.
Important Gemstone Reminder: This is NOT a time to place your gemstones or jewels out in the lunar eclipse. Save this for the next full moon.

Full Moon & Partial Lunar Eclipse Blessings to you!

Love, Achintya
