eclipse season 2022

As 2022 draws to an end it feels like time is speeding up for us. The final solar eclipse of 2022 is coming fast. It's a partial eclipse (the sun won't go completely dark) visible in parts of Asia, Africa and Europe on Tuesday.

The new moon and partial solar eclipse in Scorpio will occur on October 25, 2022. This potent Scorpio energy provides the chance to make important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle.

The Spring Equinox heralds the beginning of the new year, as the Sun moves above the equator once again, bringing more light and warmth here in the northern hemisphere.

March is when passion and energy bring focus to our new plans for the year.

As more sunshine warms us all up, sap once again flows with life - stimulating growth in nature. So too our Mars nature answers within - we are purified and release the past.

With the uprush of male energy, we turn outward to express and manifest. Let this Mars energy be more playful and creative - make love [not war], have fun, rejoice, be uplifted.

Shake off dormant drudge and sludge of the winter months as light and new life return.

The Aries New Moon arrives as we leave behind the month of March and head into April. To work with the magic of this New Moon, no matter where in the world we are - this night of March 31st and April 1st these energies are at their peak.

I love Virgo season - my only daughter and my college mentor are both born in the sign of Virgo. The Virgo archetype has the innate skills and ability needed to bring order to the chaos of creation.

Birthed from Leo (the constellation just before hers), she takes the desires of our hearts, our gifts, talents, and unique self-expressions, and transforms them with her practical magic into something that can grow and thrive in our earth-based reality.
