Sun and Moon are coming together at 10º28’ Taurus forming a solar eclipse. This is the first eclipse of this year but as North Node node is still around 23º of Taurus, we would only see full influence of this new start in Jan 2023. For rest of 2022 we would lay down the foundation of the long term financial and physical shift this eclipse would bring. Shifts in Taurus are fixed and long term — they need endurance to go through and they test strength of our resolve. Moon will cover 64% of the Sun making this a partial solar eclipse only visible in a very narrow & limited period and area mostly from South America and over Pacific & Atlantic Ocean. While the activation of this eclipse with a fated event is only in my view to be observed in Jan 2023, due to the Sun Uranus conjunction of 5 May and the fact that its an eclipse — we will see some surprising events in coming days especially around 5 May. Preview of the same might have been seen with 18 April Mercury Uranus meeting. As much as I say this would be bring surprises, we have had Uranus go over this 14º47’ Taurus in 2021 — specifically Uranus went retrograde in August 2021 at this very degree — activating events which were the precursor of the current events we are about to observe and live. Two degrees of Taurus are activated right now — 10º28’ & 14º47’ — I would detail the significance of it after brief review of nature of eclipse. Eclipses bring fated events, this one specifically due to involvement of Uranus would bring unexpected shifts so we would need to manage our nerves and open ourself to a new frequency this brings.

Let’s dig in!

Taurus eclipses and shifts are economic and earth related. Uranus would bring shifts and surprises in both ranging from changes in currencies, stocks, finance industry, food, crops especially corn, real estate, buildings, earth surface especially seismic activity, farms. Uranus isn’t just about surprises, its about progress, shaking off the old and moving onto whats now vibration of the future and since its about to come into contact with North Node on 31 July at 18º42’ Taurus — a very rare transit — we would see a series of fated financial, earth, natural resources linked events which would propel us to a new reality. Personal new beginnings in finances, partnerships, love, creativity, ego, sense of self, confidence, tenacity, financial security are inspired by this eclipse.

Period between the two eclipses which is from 1–16 May is the most influential period when it comes to events of fated nature accelerating. We would see this specifically as we observe Sun meeting Uranus at 14º47’ Taurus on 5th May and then reach north node in Taurus on 13 May at 22º32’ Taurus. Both these conjunctions come with fixed stars which have nature of Saturn — showing impediments, slowdown, pressure and impairments of financial and resources nature. We have ofcourse already seen precursor of it with Mercury meeting Uranus on 18 April and meeting North Node on 23 April last week. Mercury is about to go retrograde on 10th of May so things in general would slow down in terms of positive progress at this time and it might become more of a time when we need to review issues of the past and invest in the future. Eclipses are times when we work to seed a new reality for ourselves as fated changes would shift the environment we would be collectively operating in and it may be the time when we would need to individually slow down in terms of trying to push changes on our agenda — but rather wait and see what information & changes are coming to surface before we act on them in June.

𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 & 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 (𝗠𝗶𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬-𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯)

Come back to timeline : So the chain of events we are about to walk into are part of the shift that began in July/Aug 2021 and would very much extend to Jan 2023. While the eclipse is happening at 10º28’ Taurus — the Sun Uranus conjunction is happening at 14º47’ Taurus. These two degrees are important. Uranus went retrograde at ~10º in August 2020 and it was around those degrees for large part of second half of 2020 starting from July 2020. If you want to follow the trail of events of shift that this eclipse is to bring, I would suggest you follow the changes or shifts you were first inspired to make starting July 2020 with specific dates being 2 August, 10 August and 15 Sept — these could have been stressful days when first clear sign of stress or restlessness to move on might have kicked in. Ego pride is usually involved in such inner conflicts. Sometimes we do not know what we are asking freedom from but we are and if you would go back to your words of any sorts of that period you would realise you are living or beginning to live what you had asked for. Something old, traditional was weighing us down and it might have created a feeling of drowning. We transitioned from Venus decan of Taurus to Mercury decan of Taurus in April 2021 when Uranus got done with the back and forth ~10º Taurus — this is the shift from wishing it to doing it, saying it and opening up about it like Adele releasing album being worked on for years. 2018–2020 Uranus transit over first decan of Taurus was about waking up dormant desires, wants, asks and choices which have stayed stale for a long time and 2021–2023 transit through second decan is about verbalising, commercialising and implementing changes on those lines. As Uranus now is around 14º- we have moved from cultural awakening to individual awakening and changes which are verbalised and commercialised. Revitalising simple individual desires.

We would be overcome by the Scorpio lunar eclipse which is happening on 16 May cause it’s much more potent even though solar eclipse is supposed to be more physically felt. Scorpio lunar eclipse is happening with the nodes — its already active and its bringing a lot of global dysfunction to surface. Taurus eclipse will only get activated in Jan 2023. So the endings and revelations and possibly some sort of collective transformation will come much before a new beginning can be had. You cannot reinvigorate a body which is filled with venom. Drain happens before the revitalisation. Its true for the financial system, its true for hidden connections and its true for our well being and our financial freedom. Healing is to be had before physical changes can show up.

I am stating this here cause you would shockingly ask me “what about my new beginning next week” when you do not see it but only see news of shocking informations coming to surface and economic volatility instead of finding pathways of growth. That’s just the way cards are stacked right now. Even though Sun meeting North Node on 13 May and the Sun Uranus meet of all of first ten days of May along with beautiful sextile Mars is making with Sun all of first half of May gives us excellent opportunity to achieve material progress in a very different and progressive direction. Emotionally you wouldn’t feel that way — it would feel dark, it would feel intense as we have the dark night of soul eclipse that is Scorpio overpowering our mind and mental health. We must be ready for that cloud cause it brings emotional strength which we need to base our material growth on. Sun Uranus of 5 May creates immense opportunity of inner drive to move in a different & exciting direction — we plan to and should plan to do something new. Feeling rebellious, fights with traditions / parents / authority figures will come in the package, physical restlessness and carelessness also will come in the package so drive carefully. This needs physical outlet — we would want to drive at a hundred miles but we are entering Mercury retrograde right on 10th May. There are emotions to be dealt with with the Scorpio eclipse, feelings of others, our partnerships which we might be seeking independence from to be accomplished, there are old chapters to be bid good byes to, there are hidden nexus to be disclosed. Fixed star Algol is being activated by Sun and North Node — there is bound to be a collective draining of venom thats to be experienced as this star of beheading of Medusa’s head is activated. We cannot move on without it.

𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 (𝟭𝟬 𝗠𝗮𝘆- 𝟯 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲)

Mercury retrograde starts 10 May and ends 3 June. You know the drill — our mind will be in basement of our consciousness exploring the existential questions before you can move onto new direction. Mercury retrograde is largely also in Taurus and it would bring out questions of survival to surface — literal bread and butter questions of the world — food, finances, money, currency, security, real estate, place of living and source of earning — practical concerns and basic needs on the line. While it starts in Gemini with seemingly miscommunication or need for clearer communication or travel troubles but it leads onto much more essential questions of life collectively. Individually we would need to search how we want to connect to practical world without loosing our connection to our soul. Review objectively your assets, liabilities, money, ego check but do not shred your ego and do not invalidate your past or your soul’s path for sake of physical life. We get very very self critical in Taurus retrogrades — ego shredding is common. Practical factors of our physical life — how we earn, how much we earn, security of our life, how well are we connected with our needs and our body — they would come up. Guilt about not attending to practical parts of our life can come up, don’t get consumed by that. Jupiter Neptune dominance has strengthened our spiritual element but we might have floated away on physical life and there is a right time for everything. Jupiter Neptune makes us get swept away in feelings which aren’t our own — collective feelings on war, divorce of celebrities etc as much as they are important for our collective consciousness or vanity projects to distract ourself from whats truly going on in our life — well they come back to hound us a bit as a lens shines on our individual well being. And its high time for that.

𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 (𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟯-𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟰 & 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟯)

Changes in fixed parts of our life are afoot — the to stay or to leave decisions. This is a Uranus initiation so there is element of unknown, new and exciting despite the volatility and uprootedness that this might bring. Depends on how we individually look at change and how much earth or fixed element we hold in our chart which makes us resistant to change. I cannot exactly take you back to May 2003 to June 2004 when we had new moon in Taurus at this degree with north node in Taurus. Some of you weren’t old enough for the nodes to matter and some of us are too old to remember. But if you have planets or points in fixed signs (Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus) especially around 10º Taurus and 25º Scorpio might recall it as it would have brought significant life changes especially around May/June 2004 in terms of new beginnings. Now just 100x that cause this time we have the once in lifetime Uranus transit here. So yes it screams surprise and change in fixed constant parts of our life which we will only register in Jan 2023 just as we did in May/June 2004. But our emotional state could be similar to May-August 2003 driven by the Scorpio eclipse which is in the here and now driving us to be reborn like a phoenix — and process of it has been activated already. Coming closer to when we were all young(er) and conscious — we could see shift in focus or new beginning to replace the endings which came with 2013 especially with the period following August/Sept 2013.

We would do another reading on road to success where lets go deeper into the way to be which can help us go through the North Node in Taurus transit more inline with the energy of this transit. There is no right or wrong way but there is a way to swim with the current even if its full of anarchy of Uranus. That’s next and ofcourse the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse which is key for me personally. So if you do not find me here so often, it might be because I might be at some abyss meeting myself 🙂 I am looking forward to Jupiter in Aries transit to give its preview from 10 May to 28 Oct for me personally though globally it would enhance aggression, war drums and anger yet it would pump up our individual initiative which we could all welcome a bit after swimming in deep waters for too long. You could look back to June — Sept 2010 to see how the transit’s last preview was for a personal flavour.

I won’t go much deeper into global events here as we have spoken so many times on the expected debt issues, Scorpio eclipse on Biden’s Sun causing loss & disclosures and this all very much being about economy and finance along with egos. I have also already mentioned Uranus and North Node are progressing towards Natal Mars of Germany becoming exact in July / August and all of these surprises coming out on the road to it would give us indications of surprises and sudden shifts in stance of the country. Will words ever become action — well a Mars transit tells that — we will know in July. Sun Uranus conjunction of 5 May will give a good preview of that situation if they come up with a surprise shift in stance. That conjunction sits right when Fed is slated to raise rates so we would have financial volatility which is strategically placed right on the astrological conjunction. This is just the start of the beginning of the surprises and volatility and this is not financial advice. Not global but if anyone cares this influences Adele signficantly. Upcoming Scorpio eclipse is conjunct Pluto Venus of Russia — we have discussed this before as it got activated in Feb itself — it brings change in financial status of the country — not surprisingly but the chain of events linked to that and countries or connections linked to that will come to surface — we will talk a bit more of it.

This eclipse especially due to the fixed star aspected — is very stimulative for thyroid so if we have an underlying imbalance — it can feel enhanced at this time. I wouldn’t put it in physical health but more of mental health — we could be very impulsive in decision making here especially in love and money so need to be careful. This is a nervy time. Again due to the fixed star aspected — this can bring episode of Epilepsy so need to be careful if the underlying conditions pre-exist. Body just in general receives more with this kind of eclipse so toxins, food — we need to keep it light. Throat, jaw, ENT area essentially is ruled by Taurus and more sensitive at this time. (Pls consult your health practitioner — this is not health advice.)

Overall its our first step towards a tough yet lucrative and essential long term change. Persist.

Much Love,
Charu
