It's eclipse time! A lunar eclipse this week puts a big spotlight on all things Taurus — money, resource, and material stability — and galvanizes a lot of the changes we've been making around these themes since 2018-2019, when Uranus first entered Taurus. So, get ready. Life's going to start to move fast. (Timestamps below.) Timestamps: ♈ Aries — 22:29 ♉ Taurus — 24:37 ♊ Gemini — 26:41 ♋ Cance...

Pluto turns direct on October 6, Venus in Sagittarius on October 7, and Saturn turns dir...

It's that time of year again; Mercury turns retrograde.
