Are you ready to be done with Scorpio season? The skies are saying, “not so fast!” — because the final eclipse season of the year is arriving. Mark your calendar for a Full Moon lunar eclipse in Taurus on November 19th.
This transit is likely to challenge our sense of stability and security. Adding to the tension is an opposition between unpredictable Uranus (in Taurus) and intense Mars (in Scorpio) on November 17th.
This cosmic lineup promises drama and change, but you don’t need to panic. Below is a practical Lunar eclipse ritual to help you navigate these turbulent energies, plus a look at the zodiac signs most affected by this lunation.
Top 5 Zodiac Signs Most Affected By the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus
Each sign will experience the eclipse differently, yet some will feel its effects more strongly. Here are the five signs likely to be most impacted.
1. Taurus
You’re in the spotlight this season.
The lunation falls in your 1st house of identity, vitality, and self-image. You may be confronting a loss or shift in ego, or feeling called to reinvent who you are. Be gentle with yourself as you move through this transformation and allow space for the new to emerge.
Taurus—root down, breathe, and trust the process.
2. Gemini
Gemini’s mutable air nature helps you adapt to rapid change, but this eclipse lights up your 12th house of the subconscious. Expect invitations to explore hidden layers of your psyche. This is an excellent time for shadow work, releasing old patterns, and clearing psychic clutter.
Use journaling and quiet reflection to bring buried material into the light.
3. Libra
Libra, the eclipse activates powerful 8th-house themes: transformation, shared resources, and emotional depth. Scorpio’s intensity can make your sense of balance feel disrupted. Rather than resisting, consider that this period is pushing you toward meaningful renewal.
Lean into inner work and allow endings to create space for rebirth.
4. Scorpio
You’re a co-star with Taurus during this eclipse season. The lunar energy highlights your 7th house of partnerships, contracts, and close relationships. You may be evaluating how much you give, how much you expect, or whether certain dynamics need boundaries or release.
See this eclipse as a mirror for transforming how you relate and commit.
5. Sagittarius
Practical matters come into focus as the eclipse touches your 6th house of daily routines, health, and work. Check your self-care habits: hydration, nutrition, sleep, and exercise. If you’ve been neglecting or overextending yourself, expect possible disruptions that push you to recalibrate.
This energy can motivate positive changes in your daily life and wellbeing.
Your 2021 Taurus Lunar Eclipse Ritual
Eclipses carry a fated feel through the lunar nodes and can influence life for months after the event. A focused ritual can help you harness this lunar energy in a grounded, intentional way. Below is a three-step practice designed to ease anxiety and mental unrest during eclipse season.
Step 1: Introspection
With Taurus emphasizing security and stability, take time in the days leading up to the eclipse to go inward. Ask yourself: “What themes are playing out in my life during this Scorpio month?” and “What do I want to release or transform?”
Journal your answers and set clear intentions for what you wish to let go of or invite into your life.
Step 2: Shamanic Drumming Sound Bath
Shamanic drumming can ground and realign your energy, especially around the root chakra. On the morning of the eclipse, spend about 20 minutes listening to steady, low-frequency drum beats. Visualize the rhythm penetrating every cell, clearing and renewing your energy field.
Add affirmations that reinforce your strength and resilience. If you like, burn sage, Palo Santo, or frankincense to support the atmosphere of cleansing and focus.
Step 3: Ritual Moon-Water Bath
A moon-water bath is a simple and potent way to work with lunar energy for release and renewal. This practice is especially helpful for Earth and Water signs, though anyone can benefit.
Preparing Moon Water
- Place a container of regular water outside or near a window where moonlight can reach it for a few nights before the eclipse.
- Set crystals such as amethyst, rose quartz, selenite, or clear quartz near the water while it charges.
- Hold an intention for the water—what you want to cleanse or transform—and speak it aloud or silently as you prepare the vessel.
The Moon Bath
On the evening of the eclipse, create a calm space with candles and your charged crystals. Fill a bath and add the moon water. As you soak, visualize the water drawing out fears, limiting beliefs, and anything that no longer serves you.
Ask yourself: “What is preventing me from being the best version of myself?” End the bath by envisioning your mind, body, and spirit revitalized and ready for change.
Repeat this three-step ritual for several nights after the eclipse if you feel it would help reinforce the shifts you’re making.
