Aries
With a Solar Eclipse bringing powerful energy to your intimacy sector, dear Aries, the period ahead is one of empowerment and discovery. It’s a time for working on yourself from the inside out, addressing dependencies and issues of support, and improving an intimate relationship. If you’ve been too dependent on others, or the opposite, too proud to ask for help, then you’ll see and feel it acutely at this time, and you’ll want to make changes. The period ahead is outstanding for focusing on issues of intimacy and sharing and developing self-mastery skills. Goals to reduce debt, get support, quit a bad habit, or understand your psychological workings better are favored now. You have a chance to see your inner workings in new, meaningful ways. It’s essential to be patient so that things can unfold naturally. Don’t push for clarity, and it will come! Energy levels can be unusually low around an eclipse, but they slowly and surely restore in the days following, ideally with more authentic motivation and clarity. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to a relationship or a financial arrangement, this is a time for coming to terms with the dependency. It can also be a time when you want/ask for more depth from a project, relationship, or endeavor. Use this eclipse’s positive blast of energy to sort out financial support issues or emotional entanglements as you go forward. Aligned with Venus, this eclipse has much to do with getting along with others, enjoying yourself more confidently, and perhaps employing some charm. Joy, compromise, and connection are essential “ingredients” in your success story with money, relationship, and power dynamics.Taurus
With a Solar Eclipse bringing powerful energy to your partnership sector, dear Taurus, you’re in a strong position for new beginnings regarding your close relationships. Negotiations and one-to-one relationships are highlighted now and in the coming weeks. It can be a time for beginning new relationships or redefining existing ones in significant ways. A stronger awareness of the role someone plays in your life or the need for support and companionship may be in focus now. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to a problematic relationship, then circumstances now might push the matter. Similarly, this eclipse can nudge you forward if you’ve been avoiding someone or expressing your relationship needs. The months ahead are important for exploring your need for partnership, whether this is about starting a significant relationship, committing to enhancing an existing one, or recognizing changing needs regarding relationships, dependence, and autonomy, in general. Take in now, and take action when it feels right! Often enough, eclipses bring about a small crisis or shake-up that prompts a new direction or the need to venture beyond the usual routine. Eclipse days can be emotionally exhausting, after which energy and motivation slowly but surely rebuild. Venus aligned with this eclipse suggests much charm, open-heartedness, and kindness or personal attraction surrounding your new beginnings. Joy, compromise, and gentleness are important “ingredients” in your success story with relationships at this time.Gemini
Today’s Solar Eclipse prompts a refresh or new chapter in your life related to work, health, habits, and routines, dear Gemini. It heralds a period when you can successfully initiate new diet regimes, healthy routines, and satisfying work schedules or improve and revamp current ones. In the weeks ahead, you’re in a solid position to take care of business, handle details, and increase efficiency. Circumstances around you can push these matters or motivate and prompt you to want to make big changes. It’s an excellent time to recognize and honor your limits regarding how much you can give and do. Be sure to pace yourself, and don’t jump into something without thinking. A new direction will come, and you don’t have to push for it. It’s common to feel tuckered out around the time of an eclipse, after which your energy increases. This eclipse is aligned with Venus and can be about starting fresh in your work or with health and self-care programs, sprouting from loving feelings and wonderful inspiration to make improvements. Charm, joy, compromise, and socializing or mingling can play a large role in your success story.Cancer

It’s time to assess what may have been holding you back from thriving, mainly related to your career and home life. This eclipse set, spanning from October 2021 to November 2023, is powerful for arriving at a better work-home balance. With this particular eclipse, the focus is taking charge of your home life, attention to matters of security and safety, and connecting with family and your own emotions.

The period ahead is excellent for taking care of daily tasks with increased and renewed energy or pouring more energy into your personal interests. However, you could experience an initial feeling of being overwhelmed since eclipses can wipe us out before restoring motivation. Because this eclipse aligns with Venus, a money boost could tie in with improvements to your daily affairs and approachability. Others enjoy your ideas and insights, and love opportunities can emerge from your new approach to connecting. You might also take steps to develop a relationship with a sibling, relative, classmate, or even a neighbor.Libra

You might also discover ways to increase your income or earning potential. It’s a beautiful time for earthy, tactile, and comforting activities that help you to feel more grounded and centered. If you’ve been holding on too tightly to a lifestyle or financial habits that haven’t served you well, changes become necessary. New beginnings are in order! This eclipse gives you a fantastic push towards taking better care of your money and resources. Issues of being treated well and with respect can also come into play. Notable for this event is a Venus alignment with the eclipse, and relationships, negotiations, and diplomacy can tie into your success with enhancing your sense of comfort, well-being, and security or improving your money situation. You have the chance in the coming months to discover new or untapped resources on a financial level that can translate to a boost to your financial well-being.Scorpio

It’s a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. Put your best foot forward, as you’re getting noticed and making a powerful impression on others. Still, this new energy can originate from a feeling of being overlooked. Circumstances can prompt a rethinking of your general attitude towards new beginnings, bravery, a leadership role, independence, and the ways you instinctively defend yourself. It’s a time when you can be braver and enjoy new experiences. There can be a tendency to dig in your heels and display your independence now, which may be necessary for personal growth, but it’s best to take care to stay true to yourself in the process! Get in touch with what you genuinely want and envision it, but wait for the dust to settle before going all in. Keep in mind that you can feel a little wiped out around the time of the eclipse before energy rebuilds. Consider that you may need to clean the slate of inauthentic sources before you “restock” with genuine motivation. Going forward, people build their faith in you, which only motivates you further to present the best version of yourself.

It may be a time of withdrawal and retreat in a social sense, of soul-searching, and the seeking out of emotional peace of mind. You’re due for extra time to yourself! If you’ve been neglecting your psychic, spiritual, or emotional needs, circumstances can push you to pay attention to your inner world. There can be flooding of energies now, which can be a little disorienting, but as you advance, you’ll get a stronger sense of what changes to make. If you require solitude, then you’ll find ways to get it. If there have been toxic connections to your past, you’ll determine how to break ties. If you’ve been giving of yourself too much to your own detriment, this is a time for more dedicated attention to your emotional and spiritual needs.
