What is solar eclipse?

A new moon occurs when the transiting (moving) Sun and Moon are in the same position in the zodiac (called a conjunction). The new moon is associated with the beginning, has high energy and is enthusiastic. A solar eclipse occurs when the new moons are within 18 1/2 degrees of the lunar nodes (the point in the Moon’s orbit where the Moon crosses the ecliptic).

What is a full moon?

A full moon occurs when the transiting (moving) Sun and Moon are in exactly opposite positions in the zodiac (called opposites). The full moons are related to the end, the culmination, and are emotional energy.

Full Moon in Aries: October 9, 2022 (4:55 PM ET/1:55 PM PT)

Aries Purnima is a full moon that comes with a lot of energy. Aries is a high-energy zodiac sign, so we can feel inspired to take action based on what we feel. The full moon is emotional, and those feelings can drive us to act. We have to make sure that we don’t get impulsive about it, otherwise we might run into something that we might regret later.

Aries is the first sign and is associated with new beginnings, while the full moon is associated with the end, so we can see the beginning of the end of something or the end of the beginning of something.

We can focus on our own identities, and if we have struggled to be true to ourselves, there can be additional frustration with the full moon. We have to work on being more open and not rejecting who we are.

With an Aries full moon having a lot of energy, it can be ripe for anger, and some can flare up with violence, so it’s important that we have healthy outlets for frustrations and don’t let them get the best of us. Give.

Full Moon Sextile (beneficial aspect, 2 signs away) Transit (moving) Saturn is in Aquarius, and it can help us have more control over our emotions, make progress with our goals, and stick to our plans. We can be practical and disciplined.

The full moon is 16 degree 33 minutes on Aries. The aspects of the full moon are:
Combination: 14 degree 33 min – 18 degree 33 min mesh
Sextile: 14 degree 33 min – 18 degree 33 min Gemini or Aquarius
Category: 14 degree 33 min – 18 degree 33 min Cancer or Capricorn

Solar Eclipse in Scorpio: October 25, 2022 (6:49 AM ET/3:49 AM PT)

Our second solar eclipse for 2022 falls in Scorpio at the end of October. In this eclipse set we have not yet had a solar eclipse of Scorpio, only in Taurus, and the lunar eclipse we had this year was in Scorpio. Now that Scorpio is getting solar eclipse energy, we can focus on changing for the better in big, drastic ways. This could have long-term implications for what we are dealing with for years to come. It could be the beginning, it could be the first step, and we could totally improve.

Scorpio is also a sign of depth, so we can do more research, want to solve problems, and get below the surface of topics, projects, and people with a Scorpio solar eclipse. We can keep searching until we uncover even more. It can shed light on areas, topics, events, or people that we previously missed, and it can bring new information that helps with new plans.

Scorpio is passion, power, and control, so a Scorpio solar eclipse can bring additional passion that we can use, more comfort and connection with our personal power, and more control in certain areas of life or ourselves.

This solar eclipse is the transit (aligned) of Venus in Scorpio, and it can be very helpful in our relationships, our dealings with others, and our bonds. We can feel more comfortable with commitment, compromise, and diplomacy, and we can be more attractive and pleasant. The energy of a woman can also be solidified by this eclipse.

Solar eclipse occurs at 2 degree 0 minutes on Scorpio. The aspects of this eclipse are:
Combination: 0° 0 min – 7° 0 min Scorpio
Semisextile: 0° 0 min – 4° 0 min Libra or Sagittarius
Sextile: 0° 0 min – 7° 0 min Virgo or Capricorn
Category: 0° 0 min – 7° 0 min Leo or Aquarius
Trine: 0° 0 min – 7° 0 min Cancer or Pisces
Quincunx: 0° 0 min – 4° 0 min Aries or Gemini
Opposite: 0° 0 min – 7° 0 min Taurus

Since the eclipse is early in Scorpio, major aspects can also be felt outside the sign (as if it were late in Libra). That is:
Combination: 27 degrees 0 minutes – 29 degrees 59 minutes Libra
Sextile: 27 degree 0 min – 29 degree 59 min Leo or Sagittarius
Square: 27° 0 min – 29° 59 min Cancer or Capricorn
Trinetra: 27 degree 0 min – 29 degree 59 min Gemini or Aquarius
Opposite: 27° 0 min – 29° 59 min Mesh
