eve of October taurus eclipse

10/27/2023

Scorpio is very much associated with temptation. They are viewed as a temptation, but the truth is that temptation has been my greatest weakness and lesson. The greatest temptation of all, is the desire to settle for less than what you really want. It’s easy to lie to myself and exchange comfort for the truth, or to look around at the choices that other people make and decide that I should be happy with making similar choices. But everyone is born with a dream that no one else has ever brought to light, and this dream is that person’s potential. The truth is that I am unique and extraordinary and I want and need more, much more.

Do you ever find yourself choosing an ordinary life, only to suffer more than you deserve? It might be your sign that you aren’t being honest with what you really want, and your unconscious is trying to help you move on.

The eclipse tomorrow is about the final push to let go. All of the last few weeks we were feeling the consequences of all the times we settled in relationships, and finally they are culminating. The universe is constantly demanding that I choose to continue the way I have lived in the past or truly demand what I want, and making this choice more extreme, more intense, all or nothing. The temptations of the past, of our worst fears and habits, cling to me. They make my heart race with anxiety and keep me up all night. They are powerful like a drowning person’s grip, with their last surge of adrenaline. But just because we feel fear doesn’t make them real. They may just be an adaptation our body has to an era that is exiting our lives.
