What is the solar eclipse in Scorpio? How does it affect us?

A solar eclipse is a powerful celestial event in which the Moon sits between the Sun and the Earth, temporarily blocking the Sun’s light . This event occurs every six months and is said to be three times more powerful than the new moon.

This supercharged new moon is the perfect time to plant seeds and set intentions for what we’d like to see the next six months.

Scorpio is the eighth zodiac sign in the astral wheel. Deep, emotional, and complex. Scorpio holds a powerful intensity that helps them navigate the underbellies of life. Represented by the archetype of the Alchemist, Scorpio has the natural gift of transmuting trauma into self-empowerment.

The solar eclipse in Scorpio will bless these parts of your life—

• Conflict resolution. You will finally reach a conclusion to your past hurts and present obstacles. You will realize that the answer to your problems doesn't have to be fiery or confrontational. In fact, confrontation led to prolonged conflict and created some of the past hurts you’ve been nursing. This solar eclipse in Scorpio season, you may find people are less aggressive and more emotional. Tap into compassion and emotional maturity to reach peaceful resolutions. Everyone wins.

• Commitment to your goals. You may have been juggling a lot of ideas recently, but the solar eclipse in Scorpio will help you finally focus on one or two of them. It's tempting to try and do a bunch of things at once, but this can actually be really hard on our bodies and minds. If you pick one project and stick with it for the next six months, you'll be more successful. Even when things get tough, stay focused on your original goal.

• Opening your eyes to the truth. Sometimes it’s easier to ignore what we intuitively know as truth because the truth hurts. However, Scorpio’s proclivity for the underworld and shadow work will bless you with courage and strength to finally lift the veil. The truth may be painful, but like a band-aid, it stings the most when you rip it off. Once you face the truth, you’ll be able to invite more blessings into your life, even if it may not seem like it right away.
