This full moon eclipse marks the first eclipse in the Taurus/Scorpio eclipse cycle, which runs through October 28, 2023. Stay tuned for a full write up and reading on this cycle, but for now, let’s focus on this full moon and what messages it has for us. This special Eclipse Season note comes in the form of a story.

The Start of Eclipse Season

As I sit to write this, it’s the early morning of November 9, 2021. The sun has yet to rise. Moments ago, I was lying in bed, trying to fall back asleep, but instead, the words for this note were streaming through my head. Moments after that, I was standing outside, staring up at the sky, in awe of how bright the stars are at this hour of 5 A.M.

Before the sun rises and twelve hours since it set, I can see the dog star Sirius just above my roof. Orion’s belt is just past it, and just past that, I see a clear, distinct V in the sky - The Hyades, in the constellation Taurus - and just past that, I see a much smaller cluster of stars. Is that the little dipper? I wonder. I pull out my Sky Guide App and realize, That’s The Pleiades! I’ve never been able to see them before. I’ve never lived somewhere this dark.

But still, in January, I dreamt about them. I dreamt about these six stars I can now count in the sky (because only six can be seen with the naked eye). The dream led me to learn about the expanse of sky I’m looking at now - the space between The Hyades and The Pleiades. This dark expanse - this, this is The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic.

And it’s here - from The Hyades to The Pleiades and through The Golden Gate - that the karmic north node of the moon has been traveling since July 28th, except it hasn’t really been traveling. It’s not a planetary body. It’s a calculated point, but we can measure and map it, noting its movement through time, and during this time in our lives, this is where it’s been - through The Golden Gate.

My dream in January alerted me to this and its significance. I wrote about it for months, wrote about how it connected with geomagnetic storms and other major events, and I channeled this reading about what we can expect with the whole cycle, the cycle we are still moving through.

Since September, there have been at least three geomagnetic storms that have hit Earth - one shortly after the Harvest moon, another after the Libra new moon, and another on Halloween. The solar radiation has been so intense that you could even see the auroras here, where I live, in Ohio. I google now: “solar storms to have hit earth in 2021,” just to make sure I’m remembering this right. My search pulls up an article from three days ago published on Space.com. Its tagline: “the sun is waking up - and making sure we all know it.”

I knew it on October 27th, in the grocery store, when suddenly, tears were welling in my eyes. And I knew it the next night, on the couch, when the spontaneous tears struck again, and I heard, “It’s happening.” Every time, I felt overwhelmed by emotion. Not scary, sad emotion, but an effulgent explosion.

And I knew it on October 31st and November 1st when I wasn’t able to fall asleep right away, as I usually do without fail, but instead, I lay awake in bed for two hours before finally sleeping. During those sleepless hours, I felt called to check the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s alert system, and it turned out that during the exact periods when I couldn’t sleep, their radiant sensors detected an influx of geomagnetic activity - activity that spurred a solar storm that hit Earth later that week, in the days leading to the Scorpio new moon. And that makes at least four storms since September.

We have been moving through it.

This period has brought a great alignment of our energy with the understanding of duality - the light and dark within the oneness. This is truly what Gemini represents, and this is the sign the north node has been moving through as it crosses The Hyades, The Golden Gate, The Pleiades - all in the constellation Taurus, but in the sign of Gemini. (Constellations and signs are not the same.)

And soon, the north node will be moving out of The Pleiades and out of Gemini and into TAURUS.

This full moon eclipse marks the first big moment in this shift.

The change in our alignment.

The new direction we are moving towards.



The Taurus eclipse connects to two major points in time (and more, always more, but we’ll focus on these primary points for now):

May 11, 2021 - The Taurus New Moon

November 4, 2021 - The Scorpio New Moon

Take a moment now to reflect back on what was happening in your life during these periods - not just on the exact date of the new moons, but in the day or two before and in the two weeks that followed.

Everything that happened then - especially from May 11 - May 25 - set the stage for what will happen now.



This Taurus full moon connects to the period of time during the 11-day war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. That conflict started at the site where the second temple is said to have once stood in Jerusalem. I’d never heard of this temple before, but one night in May, during the conflict, I dreamt about a place called the Second Temple. I dreamt about how we all had to get back to the Second Temple.

One month later, I was having lunch with a rabbi, and I learned that in Judaism, there is the belief that one day, we will all return to the Second Temple and this will mark the start of a new Golden Age.

I have been getting messages about a new Golden Age since July 7, 2020 - 7/7 - when I was guided by the image of a clocktower to learn about Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.

There has been so much to this. I’ve written extensively about it in The Archives, but for now, I’ll just say that this full moon eclipse marks a pivotal moment in the formation of this so-called Golden Age.

Not only is this the third and final time this year that Jupiter will cross the 25th degree of Aquarius - a point known as THE WEAVING OF PEACE - but it will sit at the 25th degree with the asteroid Victoria.

On this full moon, Jupiter and Victoria are perfectly conjunct - meaning that when you look up at the sky, Jupiter and Victoria appear to be in the exact same spot. Their light blends, forming an EVEN BRIGHTER STAR.

THE STAR OF VICTORY.

Jupiter - the largest planet - represents expansion and abundance.

Victoria represents VICTORY, and to me, The Golden Age.

Victoria’s Golden Jubilee was on June 20, 1887. On that day, the asteroids Sado and Vesta were conjunct, just as they were on the Scorpio new moon on November 4th.

On June 20, 1887, they happened to be conjunct at the exact same point where the south node of the moon was when I was born, and I mention this only because on this full moon eclipse, VESTA AND SADO CONJUNCT THE SOUTH NODE OF THE MOON - for all of us. The energy of this moon echoes this piece of the energy from Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee - the point in time that I was guided to that kickstarted all of the messages I’ve been receiving about A Golden Age.

While the north node of the moon is in Gemini (and about to shift into Taurus), the south node of the moon is opposite it, in Sagittarius (and about to shift into Scorpio). While the north node represents what we are moving towards, the south node represents the past and what we are leaving behind.

We are moving towards a Taurean archetype - a relishing in presence and beauty and earthly sensation. To be on this Earth and be in pleasure on this Earth - perhaps this is what this next Golden Age is all about.

This Taurus full moon eclipse has Vesta and the south node zero degrees apart, and then, Sado is just three degrees over, and then the sun is just one degree from that. In other words, the south node, Vesta, Sado, and the sun are all conjunct during this full moon eclipse.

This is all happening at the cusp of Sagittarius and Scorpio, which is where we are and where the south node is. We have been exposing the shadow of the Sagittarius archetype (false belief and false optimism), and during the Taurus/Scorpio cycle we will be exposing the shadow of Scorpio - primarily, secrecy. All secrets will be revealed.

And this full moon marks the start of this.

Pandora is still conjunct Mars - as it was on the new moon. This conjunction is less intense, but we are still in the energy of LETTING ALL OF THE GIFTS OUT OF THE BOX.

It’s like with each step we take, we are revealing and releasing the truth that was always there - the light and the dark - the oneness that holds it all.

THIS is the box.

The box is the oneness.

What will be released - the dark or the light or some combination of both?

This time, with this full moon, it’s THE LIGHT, THE LIGHT, THE LIGHT.

On the Taurus new moon in May, I had a powerful experience that connected to the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. (You can read that story here.) In short, I was handed a silver key. I was told, you will know how to use it when the time is right.

I was guided to believe that the silver key opens a bridge between Heaven and Earth, that it helps bring Spirit down to Earth.

A few days after I was handed the key, I had the dream about the Second Temple, and then, I had a vision about the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. I wrote about it here:

I came down through the center of the gold dome of the Dome of the Rock and landed on the floor, at the center. I held my palms face up and then placed them on white and blue tiles. I prayed and sent my energy into the earth. Then, I saw a red box. And I saw this wind spin within the walls of the dome. Circling up and around, creating a wall of air and then a big burst of light exploded above the golden dome - almost like VERY BRIGHT SUN that stops everyone in their tracks.

There was more to this, and if you want, you can read the full story by searching “dome of the rock” in The Final Issue, but in short, I believe/think/predict/suspect/but also don’t know for sure that what was laid then in Jerusalem will start to come full circle now.

In the Scorpio new moon note, I said that we’d likely see rumbles of this during the new moon period (approximately November 5 - 18).

After sharing that note, I couldn’t help but feel the uncertainty of it all. Sometimes the messages feel so big and wild, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s all a bit too out there, too crazy. Sometimes I think that the fact that I can wonder if it’s crazy is a testament to the fact that it’s not, but this is what it’s like to really follow your intuition, to surrender to the unknown and uncertainty, to TRUST in it even when you don’t have all the evidence and proof but only your own knowing.

So I write these words, not fully knowing, no real proof in hand, and I send them out to you.

Then, a few days later, I was lying in bed, fearing I was crazy, and I tuned into the energy of Jerusalem. All felt peaceful and still, and I wondered: How could some big thing happen anytime soon amongst all this stillness?

And then I saw - in my mind’s eye - a cat walking towards The Dome of the Rock. It entered the temple, where inside everything felt terribly manmade and not particularly sacred or special. And then, the cat transformed into a woman, a goddess. She walked over to a candle that was lit on a table and she gently, quietly knocked it over. All of the sudden, the temple was on fire.

And she said, It happens like this. Suddenly, unexpectedly, gently, quietly.

But do I believe? Do I think this will happen? I don’t know - I simply observed the experience: the vision and the message.

Then, in the days that followed that vision, I was swimming in synchronicities around the idea of a BURNING HOUSE. For example, I chose a random old episode of an HGTV show to watch in the morning. I chose it because it featured a cabin renovation, and really, who doesn’t love a good cabin renovation? I sure do. And then I noticed that the episode first aired on November 17, 2020. Nearly exactly one year before this eclipse - on November 19, 2021. So I started watching this show about a cabin, and turns out, the family lost their last home to a fire.

Then, that night, I went to sing a karaoke song - “Palace” by Cam - but it wasn’t available, and YouTube recommended an alternative, which I went with. Its name: BURNING HOUSE.

It’s been like this pretty nonstop for days now, and to be honest, I don’t totally know what it means. I don’t know if it’s a metaphor for God’s fire (the sacred fire of truth, like the light in the ark, the red box in the temple after the priests perform their ritual) or whether it’s about my house (I’ve been checking my dryer vents) or about the dome or about our burning planet or what. I’m just floating in the unknown of OBSERVING but not understanding. Because you see, when messages are this big, I tend to resist them. I don’t want to just close my eyes and tune in and listen about this...but sigh, okay, that is what I’ll do now.

I hear: “It’s the dome. It’s the dome. It’s the dome.” And I see it burning and am reminded of the vision I had about the U.S. Capitol seven months before it was attacked and how in the Scorpio new moon note, I mentioned the connection between then and now.

But I’m still feeling resistance. I don’t totally trust this message.

But also, I remember what happened after I saw the goddess knock the candle over. In addition to the synchronicities about burning houses, I looked at the news. I wanted to know if there was anything happening in Jerusalem - any rumblings - and this is what I saw, published two days before the Scorpio new moon, on the same day that Venus crossed the Galactic Center:

New York Times article from November 2, 2021

And also in the days following the new moon: The U.S. House select committee investigating January 6th issued six new subpoenas.

These points in time ARE connected: Events connected to what happened in Gaza in May are happening now. Events connected to what happened in America in January are happening now. 

What I said at the end of October, in the new moon note

“I have been getting many messages about events affecting both The U.S. Capitol and the land where the second temple was built in Jerusalem, where the Dome of the Rock now stands. I’ve been getting these messages all year. I can’t say with any certainty what will happen. I never fully believe the messages until they prove to be true, so I’ll just say that…I suspect something is going to happen with the eclipses, and we’re probably going to start to see rumbles of this now with the new moon.”

The rumbles are starting.

The house is ON FIRE.

VERY BRIGHT LIKE THE SUN.

Vesta - as a goddess and asteroid - represents, amongst other things, the hearth, the home, the FLAME, and devotion.

On this full moon eclipse, the full moon in Taurus opposes the sun, Sado, Vesta, and the south node.

We are EXPOSING the flame of the past. I don’t know if there will be a literal fire. There could be, or maybe the fire comes from THE SUN, or maybe both. The fire comes from above (Scorpio/Spirit) and below (Taurus/Earth).

In my mind, I see this vertical infinity symbol between what’s above and what’s below, between Heaven and Earth. The symbol is on fire and undulating. The top loop moves in one direction while the bottom loop moves in the other, and they keep going like this, back and forth. Pulsing, preparing. Like a violent transmutation of energy. A grid locking into place. Until the symbol lies flat on the ground, burned into the earth but now, no longer burning, but radiating. Imbedded in the soil, so deep inside that eventually, we can no longer even see its remnants on the surface because it has implanted itself here on Earth.

Spirit has implanted itself. The divine infinity.

The wisdom held in the soil and rippling through the crust, around the globe.

This is how the peace is woven. This is how the peace is woven.

So what is this full moon about?

All of the messages - as you can see - are BIG PICTURE. About major transformations in our energetic experience on Earth that lead to specific events in specific places. These messages are BIG PICTURE COLLECTIVE messages, but how does this show up for you in your own life?

Honestly, this moon feels BIG. It feels like it hits the collective harder than individuals, but of course, these things aren’t separate. The individuals make up the whole, and I’ve never experienced an eclipse season that didn’t lead to big personal events.

How will the undulating, fiery infinity sign show up in your life?

Until it lies flat...at the end of the cycle...at the end of this season...This is what is happening:

This eclipse season - which includes this eclipse and the next eclipse on December 4th - brings the infinity symbol down to the surface of the earth. Like an hourglass. And then, the Taurus/Scorpio cycle through 2023 delivers the deepening of the symbol into the earth, the rippling of its power across the globe.

2023.

This year keeps coming up in relation to The Golden Age.

This is when Bennu’s golden dust will arrive on Earth.

A brief history: In July 2020, a few days after I first received messages about The Golden Age, I had a vision of a golden diamond hovering in space above the earth. I saw its golden dust pouring down to earth and encapsulating the earth. Months later, in October, I learned about the diamond-shaped asteroid Bennu that rests out in space, close to Earth. I learned that NASA’s Osiris-REx had just successfully retrieved a sample of Bennu’s dust and was now carrying it back to Earth. I saw video of Bennu and how it appears to spew its dust - via volcano like structures or something else - out into space. The trajectory of the dust looked just like my vision from July.

And in late September 2023, Osiris-REx returns to Earth, carrying Bennu’s dust for analysis.

The Taurus/Scorpio eclipse cycle concludes one month later, on October 28, 2023.

Somehow, this all connects.

Is Bennu’s dust really golden? No, no, that is not what I mean. The vision is a message, full of arrows pointing to dates and events and places in time, to help us understand, to help us SEE the connections, to help us ACCEPT the big picture.

The Big Goal: to be on this Earth and be in pleasure on this Earth.

The visions are a story. The events are a map. We are tracking the map through time. We are reading the story. We are arriving here, here, here. HERE is where we are.

On this full moon, we begin.

One foot firmly on the surface of the earth.

And about that question: how does this tangibly affect you individually? Reflect on the dates: May 11-21 - what was happening for you then? And read the long story short:

Long story short:

This full moon eclipse starts a new cycle that spreads from now through 2023. This cycle is here to help us experience more GRATITUDE for the earth and PLEASURE in life on Earth. This is about a global return to seeing and treating the earth as the Garden of Eden. This eclipse connects to the 11-day war in Gaza in May. We may see another historic moment in this region now. We are likely to see MORE in the way of solar storms -  VERY BRIGHT SUN. And in your personal life, you are bound to experience shifts connected to the integration of Spirit on Earth. In other words, your life is being aligned to match the harmonic rhythm of peace. You’ve already had two big pushes towards peace this year (April 10 -15 and August 19 - September 6). Reflect back on those dates. Those were the first two big markers of newfound peace in your life. And now, with this full moon eclipse (and especially from November 27-December 4), you experience a third! Get ready to receive. Be gentle. Move softly. You don’t have to fight or push for this. You simply ease into it. You simply arrive.
