On Tuesday, Nov. 8, the total lunar eclipse in Taurus created the effect of a red-toned full moon, also known as the Blood Moon. In astrology, a full moon presents a culmination of energy, and an added eclipse marks a time of significant change and transformation. So, what does this Blood Moon signify for your sign? Use your sun, moon and rising signs for the most well-rounded reading!
Aquarius- This week’s energy is pushing you towards the home, dear Aquarius, and considering if your environment is one that brings you joy. Think about what or who you have around you that may be preventing you from total relaxation or the feeling of belonging. The Blood Moon is also filling you with determination, giving you the power to change what needs to be changed. Prioritize your own safety and comfort, working to ensure your environment is serving you.
Pisces- Communication is a theme of this Blood Moon for you, dear Pisces. Think about the relationships you’ve cultivated and reflect on times or situations that made you not feel great, especially if you didn’t address them at the time. If there are problems or tension to confront, now is the time. Take this time to be confident in yourself and transform your personal life into one more supportive and joyful.
Aries- For you, dear Aries, this Blood Moon presents the issue of value and meaning. Think about what you find important in your life and evaluate your priorities. For the things you find truly meaningful, hold them even closer to you; for the things you find not so important, consider their place in your life. Stay positive and know that everything will work out in the long run.
Taurus- As this eclipse took place in Taurus, it’s unsurprising that you’re feeling the effects of it stronger than the rest of us. All this energy on you is pushing you out of your comfort zone, forcing you to examine if you’ve been holding yourself back in any aspect of your life. This eclipse in Taurus is marking a personal milestone for you, closing a chapter in preparation for a new one to begin.
Gemini- With this Blood Moon, you, dear Gemini, may be feeling your subconscious pushed to the forefront, bringing you face to face with everything you’ve been pushing away. Rather than continuing to dispel these thoughts, harness this energy to resolve internal conflicts so you can move forward without negative emotions dragging you down. Trust your inner voice and your intuition.
Cancer- The theme of this lunar eclipse for you, dear Cancer, is relationships and the future. As you start thinking about your long-term goals, you may be feeling the need to reaffirm the connections with those you consider close to ensure they’re with you in the long run. Communication is at an all-time high for you, so use this time to say what you need to say.
Leo- Change is a theme of every full moon, and this one is calling you to consider this in terms of career and livelihood. Good fortune is also in the air for you, so it may finally pay off to take that risk you’ve been thinking about—be it a creative endeavor or a reevaluation of your professional life. Whatever it may be, trust yourself and your judgment.
Virgo- Transformation doesn’t mean throwing away your life; sometimes, it just means looking at things from a new perspective, just like this Blood Moon is calling you to do, dear Virgo. For you, the energy is pushing you forward, encouraging you to expand your horizons while also honoring and looking back at the beauty you’ve created, specifically in your relationships.
Libra- Charming Libra, your extroverted and friendly nature makes you have many friendships and connections in your life. However, this Blood Moon is calling you to ask if you’ve been vulnerable in the ones you really value. Think about where you may be hiding or guarding yourself, and remember that to have a meaningful relationship, you need to be open and honest. Being vulnerable isn’t being weak; it can be a beautiful thing.
Scorpio- This energy-ridden Blood Moon and lunar eclipse is all taking place in your season, dear Scorpio, so you’re also going to be feeling this pretty heavily. For you, this energy is being placed on your interpersonal relationships. Consider those you have surrounding you, and think about who is beneficial to your life and who isn’t. Keep those who make you happy close, and remember that it’s okay to walk away from people and situations that bring you down.
Sagittarius- Motivation is your change this Blood Moon, dear Sagittarius, specifically in your daily routine. With your season quickly approaching, self-care now will set you up for happiness and success at the most important time of the year for you. Determine what truly brings you joy and try to include it in your day-to-day life as much as you can. This may call on you to broaden your perspectives, and with energy fueled by change, it’s possible.
Capricorn- Although you don’t always allow yourself to prioritize pleasure over business, that is exactly what this Blood Moon is calling you to do, ambitious Capricorn. Don’t be afraid to indulge in things you enjoy that have no relevance to work; give yourself the space to work on yourself, rather than your end goal. You may find that taking this time actually makes you a more productive person, reinvigorated by a newfound energy and freshness.
