New Moon Solar Eclipse in Scorpio 23rd October 2014 Intense and hidden undercurrents

Use this potent and powerful eclipse to make a positive shift that can have deep and long lasting effects in your world of relationships and your overall well being. The question to ask yourself today and during this New Moon phase is “who or what is in control?”

This is not just about world powers or public authorities but is especially about the forces deep within your own psyche – beliefs, desires, prejudices and so called facts about reality. We may be convinced that a situation or circumstance cannot change or that it absolutely has to before we can have our personal happiness. It’s these fixed assumptions that can be questioned today.
Maybe there is another option that hasn’t been considered. By suspending what you believe you absolutely “know” to be “true” and letting an alternative possibility arise you may get a pleasant surprise! With the the solar eclipse in the first degree of Scorpio alongside Venus the energy is intensely focussed on issues of desire and will. An eclipse can open up a window of opportunity. Like the changing of scenery between acts in a theatre play, the story continues but the stage is “re set” for the next episode!
Deep and powerful emotions abound and can dictate our life, sometimes disguised as realism, common knowledge, social trends -or personal rights, reasonable expectations, accepted beliefs etc. Drop what you think is true for you – just for a day – and then see what emerges as a new possibility. Enjoy the new scenery!
