The Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus occurs on October 28 at 1:24 PM PT and 4:24 PM ET. This eclipse marks the end of the cycle that began on January 18, 2022, when the Lunar Nodes of Destiny entered the Taurus and Scorpio axis. The next time we’ll experience similar eclipses will be in 2040.

The eclipse aspects Mercury in Scorpio, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter retrograde in Taurus, and Saturn retrograde in Pisces. These planets are urging us to find our true calling and stand up for ourselves in matters of the heart. Add in the asteroids Juno in Virgo, Vesta in Cancer, and Black Moon Lilith in Virgo, and we'll want to break away from the past and start anew to attain happiness. Tears will be shed, arguments will intensify, and our intuition will heighten since the veil between the spiritual and physical world becomes thin close to Halloween.

Mercury and Mars are both in Scorpio (they form a close conjunction the following day) and oppose Jupiter retrograde in Taurus the day of the eclipse. This creates a turbulent vibe. Words can hurt. Don't say things that can be callous — choose kindness instead. With Venus currently in Virgo, the planet’s least favorite placement, we may be critical of others — especially ourselves. The good news is that the Moon is exalted in Taurus, helping to ground us amidst the eclipse.
