Partial solar eclipse in Scorpio: astrology meaning
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around shared money, secrets and emotional depth (Scorpio). It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Scorpio–Taurus axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 0°24′ Scorpio or Taurus.
It is the New Moon of October 2014.
