We are approaching the Autumn eclipse season of 2022. Every year there are two sets of eclipses 6 months apart, for this year it looks as below:

30^th April: Partial Solar eclipse at 10 degrees Taurus
16^th May: Total Lunar eclipse at 25 degrees Scorpio
25^th October: Partial Solar eclipse at 2 degrees Scorpio
8^th November: Total Lunar eclipse at 16 degrees Taurus

Eclipses are special kinds of new moons and full moons which happen when the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are lining up in a row and therefore blocking each other’s light.

The new moon on the 25^th October is a Partial Solar eclipse, when the Sun and the Moon are exactly in the same position in the sky and hence the Moon blocks the Sun’s light from our earthy point of view. Eclipses are a time of introversion and introspection and as this eclipse occurs on the 2^nd degree of Scorpio, it invites us to investigate what are our deepest desires and passions? What are the things we hold on to in our life? What are the toxic elements (habits, secrets, people) in our everyday life we need to let go of? We might experience transformation of our value system or meet someone who initiates these changes in our mind. The theme of this eclipse is clearing and releasing, dealing with unfinished business before we can start something new.

There is also a significant amount of restless energy, we might scatter our attention in too many directions which might lead to confusion rather than completion of any kind. This lunation might give us the power and determination to focus our mental energy on the matters which are truly important.

Those who have important chart element at the first few degrees of Scorpio and/or Taurus might have a more personal experience and impact. In case you don’t have your chart prepared yet, you can find numerous free chart calculators on the net, most common one is https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/birth-chart-horoscope-online. You need to give your exact birth data and the calculator does the rest. If you would like to have a personal reading, please do not hesitate to contact me!

I was wondering what would be the right topic for the very first post on this website. Then I realized that it probably makes sense to start at the beginning and share my first experiences with Astrology.

It was 2012, I lived in Budapest, Hungary, I had a good job, a serious relationship and close friends. I thought my life was in order and that I had it all figured out for the long term. Although I do remember having some questions regularly sneaking up in the back of my mind. is this it? Is this life? Is this what all the fuzz is about? I could not really explain why, but I just did not feel happy or at my place, but I thought I maybe wanted too much.

Then, out of the blue, my relationship ended. I really did not see that coming and it totally caught me off-guard. All of a sudden I did not know where I was or where I was supposed to go from there.

Now I am the type of person that needs to understand a situation before I can start to handle and overcome it. So I needed to understand why my relationship failed, what was my part in it and what can I learn from it. Long live Google!

Whilst searching The Web I stumbled upon an article from a Hungarian astrologer with a title: “I’m 30, my life is in crisis”. This title spoke to me as I just turned 30 and indeed I was at square one again. The article described that between the age of 28 and 30 we all encounter some kind of crisis in our life which forces us to grow up and take responsibility for our actions. This is called the Saturn Return, when the planet Saturn (symbol of loss, obstacles, lessons) arrives back to the same place where it was at your birth. Obviously this all didn’t mean anything to me. How on earth am I supposed to know where Saturn was at my birth and where is it now?

Shortly after I found another article from the same author which was about the end of the period of Saturn in Libra (symbol of relationships) and it explained what kind of crisis we might encounter in our relationships. I was fascinated as it basically described the painful truth, that my relationship was never one between equal partners. I then also realised that none of my previous relationships were „equal” either.

So I really wanted to figure this Saturn return thing out. After some searching on „Astrology”, I found a free birth chart calculator, where I entered my birth details (date, time, place). It gave me a picture of a circle with plenty of symbols in and around it. That was my birth chart. Not a surprise, that after some further investigation it turned out that indeed my Saturn was at the last degree of Libra and I just had my Saturn Return…
