At the entrance of the next new moon on the 1st of May, we begin the Taurus cycle, and along with it, the 2022 eclipse season. The 2022 eclipse dates are:
30/04/2022
15/05/2022
25/10/2022
07/11/2022
A striking feature of all eclipses this year is that they aspect the planet Uranus, ruler of the sign of Aquarius. Uranus is the planet of geniuses, of out-of-the-box ideas, of the improbable, of the unexpected, and everything in that regard. So, in all the next lunar and solar eclipses of this year, we can expect unexpected news and electrifying energy in our lives, with a fair helping of adrenaline involved. We also have the possibility to make the impossible possible.
So, to all the dreamers out there, it’s time for you to create something entirely new. When there is a solar eclipse, the Moon covers the Sun. The Moon receives light, and the Sun shares that light. This symbolizes an eclipse of the ego. As the Moon overlaps the Sun, we will be guided by our emotions, but its conjunction with Uranus causes everything to be magnified. Good and the bad emotions all come together at the same time, so it can be an emotionally charged period. When this New Moon begins on April 30th, look for subliminal messages from the universe, as the Moon always emphasizes our sixth sense. Receive these messages and channel them. This eclipse will challenge both emotional and financial aspects of your life. As you invest money, be more careful, and do not allow yourself to be led by your emotions, but by rationality instead.
All 2022 eclipses occur on the Taurus and Scorpio axis. Everything we feel about ourselves will be heightened and come to the surface. If you have problems with self esteem and self love, you will have to deal with them during these eclipses. Eclipses bring these issues out so we can re-evaluate our relationships with ourselves and others. If there are areas in our lives where we don’t love ourselves or if we don’t love our partner, colleagues, boss, this is the time to reassess. The sign of Taurus signifies values, self love, and the ability to trust ourselves.
Now, let’s decide what the real values in our life are. Who are our real friends? What work do we truly value? Who are our real partners in life? This Taurus season, we are being stripped of everything that is false.
The universe is asking us: What do I need to let go of for my true self to emerge?
