Neptune resumes a direct moving course this week after five months of being retrograde. This will regenerate our spiritual and intuitive work and facilitate our development. Neptune’s calming and forgiving nature helps us to let go of malicious and non-productive thoughts, and will melt away cold heartedness. Neptune moving direct allows us to move freely forward, using wisdom and our spiritual aspirations as guides.
The New Moon in Scorpio on Tuesday focuses on a rebirthing process for our emotional body, and this is the time when we are sure to address the proverbial skeletons in our emotional closet. The New Moon encourages us to regenerate our hopes while transforming our fears into a courageous and renewed outlook for ourselves. This is the time to take bold steps to defeat undesirable emotional patterns and fear mechanisms. New Scorpio Moon casts new light on our ability to overcome pain and suffering.
This New Moon is known as "Hecate’s Moon." Hecate is the Wiccan goddess of the underworld who leads us through death towards a cycle of rebirth. She guides the lost souls to their final destiny and can be called on at this time to guide those who have passed on, especially those who have met their end in a challenged way such as violent death or suicide. Hecate cures the ills that surround death.
Along with the New Moon, Tuesday brings us a Total Solar Eclipse. This Solar Eclipse brings an emphasis on controversies rooted in our feelings and emotional core. For some, the ability to have clear feelings may seem overshadowed, but it must be remembered that this is only a brief shadow. This is the time to reassure those who are undergoing emotional dramas and to be patient with emotional outbursts. Every time there is a Solar Eclipse, there is always a Lunar Eclipse within two weeks. Although this may not feel like a particularly easy time for starting anew, the Solar Eclipse touches our lives with a fluid and accepting kind of assertiveness to move through the greatest obstacles. Beware of the tendency for some people to lean towards substance abuse, depression and emotional instability.
Mars enters Capricorn on Friday remaining there until December 25. As is the nature of Capricorn, this is a time for vigilance, diligence and perseverance. Through Christmas, the activities of Mars in Capricorn will shift towards dynamic, ambitious and enterprising endeavors. Activities, if successfully managed, will produce long lasting results. This is not a good time to create enemies. The inherent difficulties will also produce long lasting results, and long standing enemies are not a good thing to have when trying to create a sense of forward moving progress.

Aries (19 March – 19 April) Element: Fire Planet: Mars Symbol: Ram Stone: Ruby
Aries: This week’s Solar Eclipse is a call to your soul to take time out from the hectic pace of life and turn within to nourish yourself. This eclipse may signify an ending of some sort that will enable you to transform and begin afresh. Or it may be that you have an epiphany or awakening experience that leaves you with greater clarity. It may be that you have been ignoring your soul’s calling, and events this week may seek to remind you that we are only here for a short time and we came here with a set of intentions that we hoped to fulfill. Now is the time when you can begin to get a clearer sense of what you came here to do and of the person you intended to be. If you are feeling any sense of boredom, frustration, or tedium, these are signs that the time has come for change.
Taurus: This week’s eclipse puts the spotlight on your relationships and brings the potential for new beginnings. So if you’ve been hoping for improvements in your personal life, then this eclipse should help enormously. It may, for example, be time to take a relationship to a new level or move it in a new direction. For Taureans looking for love, this eclipse bodes well and puts the focus on romance and pleasure. You may need to trust, as nothing kills love quicker than doubt and fear. Put your faith in the person or process, and don’t be afraid to venture into unknown territory, whether that’s making a commitment or embracing new beginnings.
Gemini (20 May – 20 June) Element: Air Ruling Planet: Mercury Symbol: Twins Stone: Aquamarine
Gemini: Is stress getting the better of you? Are you tired, or does your job or daily life feel like all work and no play? Do you have physical symptoms that need attention? The Solar Eclipse on November 13 throws the spotlight on your health and your work and makes this the perfect time to make positive changes. Perhaps you need to let go of something from your past. Maybe it’s time for a new job or at least a new approach to the one you’ve got. Or maybe it’s time to sort out your health and well-being. The Solar Eclipse in your health zone on Tuesday is an ideal time to turn over a new leaf as far as your body is concerned. Look at your diet and lifestyle with a view to getting yourself in better shape. It’s also the perfect time for healing on a deeper level. Anything you do toward confronting physical or emotional problems will have extra power now, so make your own healing a priority.
Cancer (20 June – 22 July) Element: Water Planet: Moon Symbol: Crab Stone: Moonstone
Cancer: This week’s Solar Eclipse is posing the question: How authentic is your life? Are you trying to please others by doing what you think they will like, or are you being true to yourself and doing what you love? This eclipse signals a turning point in terms of your creativity, your loves, and doing more of what you enjoy. This week, ask yourself this question: Who am I, really, and what do I want more than anything? Write down your answers or find images that reflect your insights, and allow the power of the eclipse to help bring the truth of who you are into reality.
Leo (22 July – 22 August) Element: Fire Planet: Sun Symbol: Lion Stone: Peridot
Leo: This week’s Solar Eclipse signifies a turning point with a family or domestic matter. It certainly looks as though your personal life will be brought under the spotlight, and the key thing to remember is that change is what’s needed. Even if it seems at first like a change you could do without, you need to remind yourself that nothing happens that isn’t for our higher good. Whether you experience the joys (and the stress) of moving house, a family relationship changes, or someone enters or leaves your life, it is all happening as it is meant to, and it is reflecting in some way the changes that are taking place on an inner level deep within you. See whatever happens now as a springboard to manifesting your destiny, and use the powerful energies of the eclipse to help focus and materialize your personal desires.
Virgo: Until November 14, Mercury will be traveling backward through your home and family area, calling your attention to that which is closest to you. On November 14, Mercury enters the communication region of your chart, which is when you will begin to benefit if you took the earlier advice of making space in your schedule so that you can adopt a slower pace of life. If you weren’t able to do that, you can offset potential stress by adopting a philosophical go-with-the-flow attitude. Accept that any delays, blocks or frustrations on your path to progress are happening for a reason, and by quieting your mind, you will get the message. This week a Solar Eclipse also occurs in your mind zone, making this a potentially overloaded area, so you must make time for meditation, quiet thought, or time and space on your own. If you normally have a busy life and try to continue at this pace, you will not only miss out on the gifts of the current planetary alignments –namely a sense of waking up or some sort of epiphany –but you’ll find all manner of events conspire to make you slow down. To get the most from this powerful event, you should focus your mind like a laser beam on what you wish to achieve and visualize your desired outcome, all the while talking positively to yourself and not allowing any negative thoughts to derail you.
Libra (22 September – 22 October) Element: Air Planet: Venus Symbol: Scales Stone: Opal
Libra: The spotlight is on your finances, and if you’re looking for improvements, the Solar Eclipse on November 13 is a wonderful omen for better things to come. That’s not to say that you won’t have to put a little bit of effort in. Mercury moving back into your money zone is asking you to give some serious thought to this area of your life, while Saturn is also here in this zone to slowly help you to become a master of money. With a little bit of constructive effort and by eradicating any negative beliefs that you may have about money, you will enable the eclipse to work its magic, which could result in some amazing changes. With all the focus on your financial affairs, it might be easy to overlook other areas of importance, namely your health and well being, alongside the fact that Venus is currently in your sign. The latter gives you permission to make pleasure and enjoyment your priority, whether it be through social engagements, focusing on your physical appearance, enjoying a little pampering, or just generally seeking to enjoy life. As far as your physical well being is concerned, this is an ideal time to treat yourself to a relaxing therapy or a healing modality that will result in a transformation. You may be on the verge of some sort of epiphany as far as health and well being are concerned, so nurture yourself and let it happen!
Scorpio (22 October – 21 November) Element: Water Planet: Pluto Symbol: Scorpion Stone: Topaz
Scorpio: It is time for a new vision especially if you feel that a part of your life has run its course or if you’ve been feeling tired or uninspired. The Solar Eclipse in your sign is a wonderful omen for new beginnings, and this is your opportunity to imagine and believe in a more fulfilling life. Perhaps you only need to make one or two changes, but it seems that for many Scorpios, life is going to change in quite a big way. Remember that change comes only when it’s needed. If you have resisted making changes that will benefit you, the universe will make them for you. Therefore, take note of whatever happens this week –especially around November 13 –and try to find the message behind the events. Mercury retrograde is asking you to slow right down, and you can avoid many a mishap by taking heed of this advice, easing up your schedule, and not rushing from place to place or deadline to deadline. Keep this week spacious and receptive to spontaneous invitations and occurrences. In the spaces that you create, consider how well you express your gifts and talents and whether there is scope here for developing yourself further and perhaps receiving more for your talents.
Sagittarius (21 November – 21 December) Element: Fire Planet: Jupiter Symbol: Archer Stone: Turquoise
Sagittarius: This week’s Solar Eclipse is your opportunity to put the past behind you, to close the door on something that was holding you back, and to either release some old sorrow or to find closure with it. Answers and valuable insights may come through your dreams, so it might be worth keeping a dream journal this week and seeing what messages you receive. Your intuition is likely to be working overtime, and you won’t go far wrong if you listen to your gut feeling and any impressions or psychic flashes. Your body may also try and communicate with you via its subtle messages, so pay attention to any aches, pains, flutters or discomforts. More than anything, you need to slow down and pay attention to the whispers from your soul, since retrograde Mercury is in your sign until November 14 and will make life rather tricky is you try to maintain your normal busy pace. Take time to be with yourself and question whether the world will collapse if you were not there at the helm.
Capricorn: At the beginning of the week, you may be struggling a little with a lack of clarity, drive and enthusiasm. However, the Solar Eclipse on Tuesday signifies a turning point at which you should feel a surge of hope and a sense of new beginnings as far as your future is concerned. Participation is your keyword. If you’ve previously felt like hiding away or have not had the energy to get out there, this eclipse marks a change in which you will feel ready to embrace life and connect with others. Try to let go of anything that you can’t change and focus instead on your future and the changes that you can make
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February) Element: Air Planet: Uranus Symbol: Water Bearer Stone: Amethyst
Aquarius: This week’s Solar Eclipse offers a change in direction or, at the very least, enables you to move forward with a goal, ambition or professional venture. In fact, this eclipse is great news for your vocation, and events will soon help to foster the realization that you are truly fulfilling your purpose. This might mean a promotion, success within a business venture, or a new beginning relating to your future. Either way, it should feel as though everything is starting to come together, which should feel very satisfying.
Pisces (18 February – 19 March) Element: Water Planet: Neptune Symbol: Fish Stone: Bloodstone
Pisces: This week’s Solar Eclipse should work wonders for your optimism, to the extent that you might feel anything is possible. This is obviously a good state of mind if you’re wishing to implement change of some description, are hoping to experience an adventure, or wish to move forward with an idea. Don’t allow doubt to put you off. If you’re feeling a little bit at odds with the world right now, may it’s because you have something that you need to give to it. When we give, healing takes place, so instead of hiding yourself away or feeling sorry for yourself, fling open your doors and your heart and welcome the world and everyone in it.
