The first Eclipse season of 2013 begins with an intensive lunar eclipse in Scorpio/Taurus axis. Venus and Mars will also be very active  in this eclipse, as they are conjunct to the Sun, and Saturn in Scorpio conjunct the Moon

 This promises us a very intense eclipse, emotionally and physically. The strong emphasis on the Scorpio/Taurus axis can bring events that relate to  money, creativity, sexuality, self worth and intimacy to our consciousness. Financially it’s a very sensitive time as things are not stable and can change in a blink. We could also feel the need to protect our territory because of deep insecurities that arise, and we don’t know exactly how to deal with them, and therefor we tried to repress them for a long time

On a personal level, it’s time to have a closer look at what motivates us to act. everything that we do now demands from us to have courage and emotional immunity. we can feel that we need to protect ourselves from being too exposed and vulnerable, to be strong emotionally so that we can be more powerful and do things our way. but if we build these walls of protection too strong and too high we will not be  flexible anymore and create power struggles with others.

It can be a time that we want to create and do our own things, but we can feel limited in a way. to understand these limitations we need to look deep inside ourselves for the answer, maybe wake up some demons and old wounds that need to be healed. we can be very motivated to get over the obstacles, but we need to be careful not to hurt others on the way, and eventually ourselves.

So this eclipse is actually putting us on a test, to see how much patience and stamina we have, how much can we endure. with Saturn in Scorpio conjunct the eclipse we will have experiences that bring us back to reality and demand from us not less then self integrity and knowing our center.

Sexuality is also something that can come up with the Taurus/Scorpio axis, and we can expect more scandals on the way, but also we can try and look at society’s conditioning and moral codes and see how twisted they are sometimes. a rape of a 5 year old girl and a murder of a 15 year old that was raped are part of it. we’ve created a repressed monster with our rights and wrongs about sexual  behavior, and the eclipse can bring events that mirror all the hypocrisy around the subject. it’s a good time to balance the 1st and 2nd chakras, and be more conscious about the way we combine emotions and physical needs.

I would like to share with you a great Kundalini yoga practice for these times
