Love Lanyadoo 11.17-23.2021
🌝
On the 19th, we have a Lunar Eclipse, basically a super-charged Full Moon, in Taurus. The intense energy of this eclipse is meant to bring bubbling to the surface those unconscious and emotional energies that have been repressed, under-expressed, or under-experienced. This can be quite overwhelming, and in our busy lives and with the instability of the world as it is, most of us don't have a lot of bandwidth for more emotion. But, here we are.
Don’t try to figure out why you're feeling what you're feeling. Don’t try to reason it away or analyze it. Instead be present for whatever comes up or comes at you, and don’t take action before you can honestly assess how you’re feeling and what you can offer. Because this is a Lunar Eclipse in Taurus, it’s especially important to act in ways that reflect your values, especially in relationships and with your finances. For a detailed explanation of this eclipse and the rest of the week’s transits, listen to episode 232 of my weekly astrology and advice show, Ghost of a Podcast, below, or read the transcripts here.
ARIES
March 21-April 19
Contemplate the role of stewardship in your life, Aries. The Lunar Eclipse on November 19th is meant to challenge the status quo in your life. If you’ve been pushing yourself or situations forward without also stewarding their care, you’re likely to be feeling anxious and inhibited this week. Take those upset feelings as indication of what needs attention from you. The decisions and behaviors that you center will set the stage for the next six months of your life, so proceed with intentionn, my fiery friend.

GEMINI
May 21-June 21
People talk about the intensity of eclipses in such a way that you may be expecting fireworks with the November 19th Lunar Eclipse. What’s more likely to happen is that something clicks. You may get clear about a boundary that you need to cultivate, have some powerful but subtle insight into your own patterns, or simply not be able to evade awareness of what it is or isn’t working in your life. There’s nothing you need to do this week other than to be present and receptive, Twin Star.

CANCER
June 22-July 22
Finding inner balance and a sense of sanctuary within the self is hard on any given day, but with a Lunar Eclipse this week, it’s decidedly harder. Don’t let your ruling planets throw you off course, Moonchild. Instead, lean into the awkwardness of your big emotions so that you can determine what you truly feel in your heart of hearts. If you act from a place that reflects tender truths, you’ll be on the right path, even if it’s a bumpy one.

LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
Your ability to respond in a way that reflects who you want to be in the world is being tested. If you’re feeling anxious or down, it’s extra hard to treat others generously or to show up without defenses and weirdness. The Lunar Eclipse on the 19th is meant to shake things up. You don’t need to respond forcefully, but you do need to respond thoughtfully. And if you can’t be constructive, it may just be time to tap out and recalibrate, Leo.

The problems in your life and the stress in your heart are not meant as punishments or curses. Instead, these things are pointing you towards what needs more or different attention from you. The November 19th Lunar Eclipse is ringing the bell for you to embody those changes you know you need to make. Instead of waiting for it to befall you, be the change you want to see in your life. You’ve got this, Virgo.

LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
What have you been holding onto that you need to let go of, Libra? This week’s November 19th Lunar Eclipse is likely to confront you with a fair amount of stress, and you can easily lose yourself in it if you’re not careful. Consider each of the things that are upsetting you along with what you can do about them. If they are totally out of your control, then look to change your attitude or attachments instead. Be willing to release what doesn’t serve you and accept what you cannot control.

SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
The November 19th Lunar Eclipse in your relationship house is meant to change things. The question is, will you choose to change or will you be changed? You may be feeling irritable or defensive, and it’s important that you slow down to consider others' points of view. This is not meant to minimize your own experience. It's meant to expand your perspective and better understand where others are coming from. Strive to engage from an empathetic and values-based place, my love.

CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
If you’re feeling frustrated, it’s a sign that you need to take a step back, Capricorn. You are moving through deep emotional terrain, and this week's eclipse is challenging you to get really honest with yourself. The truth is true whether you want to accept it or not—or whether you know what to do about it or not. This isn’t the time for finding the right answers; it’s the time for identifying the right questions. If you do this, the answers will reveal themselves to you in their own time.

AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
The Lunar Eclipse on the 19th may find you overwhelmed. Your thoughts and emotions are likely to be feeling pretty scrambled. While this may kick up restlessness and a desire to find quick fixes, that’s the exact opposite of what you need right now. Slow down and reflect on what you’re feeling and thinking—are these a defensive reaction to what’s really going on for you, Aquarius? If you let your fears motivate you, you’ll only find yourself investing in what most frightens you. Get right with yourself before you mobilize this week.

PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
This week, you may find yourself confronted by the need to make some important choices. If you're being driven by FOMO or the desire to make things easier for others, you're likely to find short-term success. The trouble is it will come at your own expense in the long term. Strive to have healthy and unapologetic boundaries that you hold and express in a compassionate and honest way. It can be done! Believe in yourself and in your ability to be firm and kind, Pisces.
