Like a daisy, I’m awake.
NATURE HIDES HER SECRETS WELL.
Taurus Total Lunar Eclipse, baby. November 8, 2022 at 6:02 AM eastern time.
Lunar Eclipses are the phenomenon of the shadow of the Earth blocking the light of the Sun from reaching the Moon. Earth has a message! Tuning in.
When I sense the Taurus/Scorpio axis, my initial reaction is tread lightly. Ruled by Venus & Mars, and the exaltation and fall of the Moon… we learn secrets. Secrets of abundance, magnetism, intelligence, growth & decay. We embody, alchemize, and feel deeply.
How are you feeling? Do you know how spectacular it is that in this phenomenal expression of life… you are both universal and unique?
Eclipses are shakeups, sudden beginnings and endings, unpredictable altered states that shift us into to new expressions of destiny. How delicious! This one, ruled by Venus in Scorpio, and bookending this eclipse season that began with a Venus Cazimi and culminates with a Mercury Cazimi (cazimi=heart of the sun)… this is what strange and magical times are made of. Translation: a message, a letter, words are spoken, information stirred up bring a sudden shift of awareness. Since its an eclipse… and a total north node lunar eclipse conjunct Uranus… it could be shocking, upsetting, world shattering. It could be a twist of fate, circumstances bridging new potential… not necessarily out of no where… but likely somewhere you haven’t gone before… expanding into a way forward that comes with a cosmic twist. Expect the unexpected! (and although this could arrive in perfect timing, eclipses do not adhere to predictable time frames or outcomes… things set in motion now take on a life of their own)
The nodes of fate, the North and South Node, the head and tail of the dragon, collectively upgrade the systems of the signs they move through. They spend about 18 months in each pair of signs, moving clockwise (so Aries/Libra, you’re up next)… but before I get ahead of myself… here’s the thing about eclipses. We can’t work with this energy… it works with us.
General advice for eclipses: do nothing. Just observe. Witness the shifts, or simply notice them around you. What arrives could be bold and sudden, or it could take its time and unfold beyond the scope of the moment. It’s just a part of the journey.
I would take my own advice, and not write this post (ha!) but a synchronistic series of events spurred me to share some interesting bits of information which aligned to the Taurus/Scorpio eclipse portal we are cocooned within… arriving in true mercury cazimi fashion, a series of messages.
The first message: FERNS ARE A COSMIC BLUEPRINT FOR EVOLUTIONARY BALANCE. (Taurus part 1)
In the words of Ke'oni Hanalei…
… Ferns have not mutated for over 180 million years. Their spores holds the exact blueprint. As stated in the introduction, their miracle of evolutionary stasis suggest they have disregarded all attempts to modify or destroy their Source codes or their Source message.
Listen to this beautifully expressed here.
From the podcast episode:
“The human emotion for us as human beings as organic human beings which means - we have the carbon carbon carbon hydrogen bond - and I just want to clarify with our soul family bond how incredible this is to have a carbon carbon hydrogen bond - because this means, we come from, the base composite of who and what we are is the ultraviolet light of a star. So if you have ever heard that saying “you’re starlight” it’s literal. We’re starlight. So this human experience is based on an electrical experience. And the most electrical thing in this sphere of the sovereign individual is our emotions. Emotion is our stimulus and stimulant with how we interact with the phenomenal animate world. So this makes the question, how are you interacting with this electrical experience? Many of us have preconceived notions of what emotions are and so we are perhaps mandating certain emotions to be a certain way. We are in possession of certain emotions because we want to make them stay. And there are certain emotions we reject because we don’t want them to be here at all. Presence is required to access to higher abilities…Affirm what presence is to you so you can have access to your magic.” Ke'oni Hanalei
the second message: we are electrical beings of light. (taurus part 2)
Personal favorites highlights from this one…
To be ‘alkaline’ means to have a negative electrical charge.
Light travels within our body… sending information at the speed of light between our cells.
When we eat unhealthy trans/saturated fats (processed oils i.e. like canola oil) it creates a plastic barrier around our cells which prevents nutrients from getting into and essentially suffocating the cells.
Fascia and connective fibers between muscles, organs, and bones are semi-conductors of energy. Meaning: we actually create energy within the body through movement and the ability for energy to flow freely.
What blocks flow/healthy energetic output? Physical and emotional trauma stored in the body… with tips to understand this further listed in the show notes.
the third message: the 4th phase of water (scorpio part 1)
The discovery of the 4th phase of water aligns to the true nature of Scorpio (in my opinion). 99 percent of the molecules in our body are water molecules, consisting of 60 percent of our entire physical weight. Within the places that water touches… such as our cells… a gel like medium is formed, which actually holds a negative electrical charge, and acts as a purifying repellant to particles and debris, creating what is known as a crystalline structure of water pervasive throughout the body (and nature/any material substance that is made up of water). Within this 4th phase of water exists energetic potential.
As we know, all energy is transfered (as Einstein discovered… energy is not created or destroyed)… so how do we charge up the water in our body? … Light, y’all. ‘EZ’ water (exclusion zone) actually expands when exposed to light… which both purifies our cells and creates more potential energy in our body (you know… to run, move, think, breath, live…).
Ways to increase the potential of bioavailable energy within your body:
Drink water! Most people are chronically dehydrated and therefore have very low energy.
Green juice: the discovery of the 4th phase of water actually links (hello taurus/scorpio axis) human cellular biology to the first phase of photosynthesis… basically, when you drink plants (green juice), you are drinking the 4th phase water of the plant! And in turn, that provides your body with more EZ water. It’s that easy.
Tumeric and Coconut water also increase EZ water in the body.
Sauna: the heat of a sauna, and especially infrared light expand the layers of EZ water in your body up to 10x their normal size! While you sweat, the toxins that are pushed to the outer laters (beyond the negatively charged exclusion zone) force impurities out of your body through sweating.
Earthing… the earth has a negative charge. When you have direct contact with the earth, skin to soil… the water in your body increases in coherence to the Earth. OK!
the fourth message: water is an intelligent life-force with its own consciousness (scorpio part 2)
We are made of water. We are made of starlight. We are electrical beings that are *literally* charged up by the light of the Sun… which in turn keeps us alive. When our body is cremated, the dust formed is actually molecules of salt. Our body is a conductor for electrical impulses moved between bioavailable cellular energy (created between the positive and negative charge of our DNA organizing the particles of our body to create an intelligent system which we experience as our physical self)… and on top of all that… water seems to be alive. OK. Let me digress…
Along the Taurus/Scorpio axis, the Moon experiences what is known as its exaltation (in Taurus) and its fall (in Scorpio). These words hold an immediate association which can actually prevent the truth of what this means from landing. Exalted, beyond the projection of it being ‘good’, the Moon in Taurus is abundant, nourished, and creates a sensation world which can be readily experienced through the senses: think comfort food, a lush garden, the beauty which emerges from our physical connection to sensuality as understood through love hormones. Think oxytocin.
In Scorpio, the Moon does something else entirely. It becomes a connective conduit of the ability to transfer information and energy between the evolving cycles of life. When we imagine the connection of Scorpio being ruled by the planet Mars, it can also be noted that Scorpio directs the flow of energy. A fixed water sign, the ‘repulsive’ quality inherent to any Scorpio stereotype is actually a biological mechanism for purification.
Exalted, there is a more accessible expression of the lunar energy. We see the plants bloom and go through their cycles of life, and it affirms the very same process happening within our own bodies, providing a kind of conduit of comfort. We are, as seen through the first phase of photosynthesis and the energetic imprint of water within our bodies, of the Earth, because all living things on earth are a reflection of light and energy through form, and Taurus grounds us in that knowing.
In its Fall, the lunar energy is less visible. What is hidden is not less than or condemned. It holds the same charge, only how we perceive it is different. Scorpio seeks the depths of the cells, adheres to the inner most functions, and creates layered boundary to create a layered bond which harnesses the energy of light and water to bring the biological functions to their most powerful expression/function. In the layered hexagons of the 4th phase of water, particles which are not integral to the cell are pushed away outward to be released. (Mars, the ruler of Scorpio, separates + while Venus *in detriment in Scorpio create a layer to enhance the potential energy of connection between the water and the surface it wraps around. It could be noted that in Detriment, Venus is doing something outside the the expected here… which in many ways could also correlate to the delayed scientific understanding of this 4th phase of water).
Between the Earth sign of Taurus and the Water sign of Scorpio along this fixed axis polarity exists the fundamental building blocks for the biological processes which weave us into the intrinsic forms of the Earth itself.
As we know, there would be no life on Earth without Water.
The fourth message:
The Secret Intelligence of Water as The Liquid Language of God : WATER IS NOT A RESOURCE, IT IS A SOURCE.
Veda Austin brought me to tears with this one! A truly remarkable account of the infinite creative potential of life. Some key takeaways that really shifted my understanding of water.
Veda suggests that through her research and relationship with water, she has come to observe that water has its own sense of intelligence or consciousness. She has observed that over time, water actually provides information and can actually see us. Where previously we have assumed that through for instance the work of Masaru Emoto revealed that water will organize itself around sound and intentions, Veda Austin’s work with water expands that concept… that water is consciously creating with you. Water, as understood through science and the elemental language of astrology, wants to merge. Water molecules seek one another, and as we move through bodies filled with water, and atmospheres charged with water, electrical bodies made of water and potential energy… Veda contemplates :
“It's always finding each other. Water is always looking for water. That's why we search for each other. That's why we look for love. We're always attracted to certain people and we kind of remember them somehow. Some people feel so familiar to us. And I've always thought that we have this liquid within us. But we always forget that there's water in the air, and so because we have electrical charge - it goes quite far - and the water in the air is attracted to that electrical charge.”
Water will take on the form of images which she calls ‘hydroglyphs’. Going even further, water also intelligently adapts to the most creative expression available within its reach. For example, tap water which has been process and stripped of its minerals, forced through sewage and plumbing is largely understood to have a fractured and jagged molecular structure when observed in its frozen state. But… when placed next to spring water, that same tap water will actually take on the shape of the spring water! This does not mean that the chemical makeup of the water has changed… but the creative intelligence of the water mirrors the water that has come from the fresh springs of the Earth. Since water is in every living thing, she also studied the effect of egg whites between caged chickens, and happy pasture raised chickens. The eggs from the distressed chickens also took on the imprint of the happy chicken eggs when placed next to them. WOW! This goes for how we speak, even the saliva in our mouth carries the imprint of words… “And so, rather than it being all about what this water can do for you, I think, what can this body of water, how inviting do I want me to be? How inviting do I want this temple of water to be for this water that is entering me? It is literally such an intimate exchange. It's one of the reasons the ancients and many people today pray or say a blessing or be grateful before they eat or drink, because there is a resonance within your mouth that is an invitation for the food and the water that is coming into you, becoming part of you.”…
Following that thread, the Ferns also showed up again… “But even to test if a woman is ovulating, there is the saliva prediction kit that has been around for many, many years, where basically a woman just spits on a glass dish and takes a magnifying glass that lets it dry. And if she's fertile, there will be these ferns that have started to form in the saliva. And if she's not fertile, they won't be there.”
Water as a carrier of information. Okay this one might be the Mercury/Sun Cazimi in Scorpio opposite the Moon conjunct Uranus in Taurus really shining through. Water holds memories. In her studies she has frozen water from protected Maori sites in New Zealand and seen images appear that track back to specific building structures and tools that were used in those areas. She has observed that water holds memories. (think the Moon in Scorpio in its fall… the moon represents unconscious memories, and in Scorpio, those can potentially hold trauma as well. Scorpio seeks to identify the places which need to transform in order to flow, and the Moon wants to hold on to the impressions it receives, similar to the nature of water).“I think one of the greatest gifts we can do is really leave beautiful memories in the hearts of others…”.
Through her research, she noticed that water does not readily respond to the dense emotions of frustration and anger. “But within this realm of water, what I keep seeing is when I am frustrated, when I'm angry, water won't design anything with me. It's not because it doesn't want to. It's because I don't think that water actually resonates at a frequency that is in that kind of more dense space… Water teaches me about love. Water really is the elixir of love in many ways.”
She has observed messages in water that actually provide information beyond… "Well, water doesn't do small talk. It doesn't want to just show that it's a photocopier. It's showing you that it sees you." It is a mirror whenever you think about water and we look into a puddle. Someone actually suggested this idea, you know, we see ourselves looking into the water, but what if water is also seeing us? And there is this kind of interaction going on? And so, she was so blown away by that. And I see that a lot.”
I would quote this entire talk if I could, but I’ll leave it with this one:
“You know, people talk about how can I change the world? Like, what can I do when the world is just so crazy and all this? And it’s an inside job. If we simply recognize ourselves as divine temples of water and that we, ourselves, really have the community within the cells of just the most incredible source, like water to me is not a resource, it is source, as I’ve mentioned before, and we have the ability to communicate with this spark of life within us, this beautiful kind of essence within us, we have the ability to really fill this body with such beautiful divinity that doesn’t come from a place of ego, that doesn’t come from a place outside of ourselves.
We’re given this gift of life on purpose. And we are able to share that energy. It doesn’t matter if you can’t walk. It doesn’t matter if you can’t see. It doesn’t matter if we have all of these issues. The point of that is that we have a choice to to be free to express what it is to feel and be divine. You know, that should never come from some place of ego. That comes from a fact.
Like, really, when you really see someone, you feel them, you feel who they are. And it doesn’t matter what they’ve done, or what they look like, or any of those things. Because all we really have is this moment. Everything else is a memory or everything else is imagination. All we really have is now. And in those spaces there is the truth. There is the freedom. And there is the love.
”
As the nodes move through final stages of the Taurus and Scorpio axis, we are learning how to let go of emotional pain and memories which no longer resonate with our divine intelligence. Like the water, which may have once come from the ultraviolet light surrounding the birth of a star, we have the capability within our very cellular makeup to restructure the creative potential of information that we carry into our relationship with others and the animate world.
Our bodies are temples of electrical impulses and information transferred through the charge of energy created within us and around us.
Okay, okay… one more quote from Veda Austin and her brilliance. “And when it comes to tears, people will often ask me about water and its relationship with emotions. And I think that water really is fluid emotion that we can see and that is within us. And our tears, especially specifically, I'll say, the tears that come up when we are deeply in pain, when we're really, really sad and emotional. And our faces are designed in such a way where the tears will come from our eyes and come around our face towards our mouth. Because those tears have been structured perfectly to actually help ease our pain. They're meant to be taken back into the mouth and be a medicine for us. We keep forgetting just how incredible we are designed.”
We are (as embodied human beings), simply put, the bridge between heaven and earth. Sacred Temples. In my research, I came across the etymology of the word luxury (a word often associated with Taurus). When Arabs arrived in ancient Egypt, they considered the Egyptian temples as palaces- ‘Al Ugsor’, which tracks the root of the word LUXOR as the inspiration of the modern word Luxury. Sometime during the 17th century, luxury became synonymous with excess, lust, unchaste, even rankness. One might consider that words have been weaponized over time, imprinting messages which hold power over resources that polarize our connection to source.
Overtime, luxury, which originated in the misinterpretation of ancient sacred temples in Egypt, has become synonymous with commodity culture and novelty, consumerism and scarcity… topics which perpetuate poverty and lack. Yet hidden right there in the word, LUX (light), is the most readily available resource of energy to all beings. It is being created within us and it is given to us freely ever single day from the light of the Sun.
If the Lunar Eclipse/North Node in Taurus conjunct Uranus - opposite Mercury/Sun cazimi in Scorpio (in mutual reception with Mars retrograde in Gemini) was to reinterpret the word Luxury… to be ‘LUXED UP’, means to to be in a state of abundance and pleasure. To be made luxurious, means to assume ones natural state of inherent power, intelligence, and creativity… as Mercury is purified through the heart of the Sun today, consider the power of what it means to be a luxurious, luminous, electrical source of life. Mindset and intention have the power to unlock new dimensions.
An echo of the Inanna myth comes to mind: she is the queen of heaven and earth. In that ancient myth, when she shares her gifts with the world, they increase. The shadow side of Taurus and Scorpio is that we must hold on and possess in order to stabilize, and yet… everything in this infitinetely creative universe shows us that is just not true. The more we flow, the more we grow.
A total eclipse true message: to see and be seen doesn’t require sight (eclipses turn out the lights), it requires surrender, respect, trust, and the cultivation of relationship with life within us & around us. it requires emotional intelligence, and in turn, creates abundance.
Some final notes of the energy in the sky…
notable eclipse-y news … Cher (the ultimate Taurus Sun/Mercury vocal cords but also… Venus/Uranus in Gemini eccentric flair) has a new boyfriend, and for the record ‘LOVE doesn’t know Math.’ and I have to agree. Presenting a playlist of Taurus folks, featuring Cher

And to tie it all up in a bow, a quote from Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth (Taurus Moon, Sun/Mercury/Venus Scorpio):
“A consequence of female self-love is that the woman grows convinced of social worth. Her love for her body will be unqualified, which is the basis of female identification. If a woman loves her own body, she doesn’t grudge what other women do with theirs; if she loves femaleness, she champions its rights. It’s true what they say about women: Women are insatiable. We are greedy. Our appetites do need to be controlled if things are to stay in place. If the world were ours too, if we believed we could get away with it, we would ask for more love, more sex, more money, more commitment to children, more food, more care. These sexual, emotional, and physical demands would begin to extend to social demands: payment for care of the elderly, parental leave, childcare, etc. The force of female desire would be so great that society would truly have to reckon with what women want, in bed and in the world.”
