“It doesn’t feel right.”

Hold up.
Pause right there.

Even if it doesn’t feel like it: this is a significant place to be.
Powerful even.  Definitely worth noting.

Truth is one of the highest virtues. Yet, why do we spend so much avoiding it, or spinning it like dubstep DJs into a warped remix? Like a spoonful of cough syrup, honesty can be brutal (and bitter) when we get our first taste. But, if we’re brave enough, it can also set us free. That’s the theme of this month’s Sagittarius full moon, which also happens to be a game-changing lunar eclipse.

My daughter is a stickler for routine.  If a change occurs without her knowledge, you will find her in quite a tizzy.  Yesterday the weather report called for storms and possible tornadoes.  I'd told her the night before that I might not be able to walk to school to pick her up.  Panic flashed across her face.  I assured her I'd do my best not to change the routine and sent her to bed. 

Sashay, Shante! Today's Taurus new moon is also a game-changing eclipse. Taurus rules the zodiac's second house of work and money, and eclipses are known to bring surprise events (and opportunities) out of the blue. Dunno about you, but we're ready for this economic stimulus package, courtesy of the stars. Solar eclipses fall at new moons, which means they bring fresh beginnings, often out of the blue.
