My good friend Tiffany does the best karaoke version of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” I’ve ever seen or heard.
She lovingly mocks the overly-dramatic theatrics of the original Bonnie Tyler lyrics, wailing and collapsing into faux sobs as she sputters “once upon a time I was falling in love, and now I’m only falling apart … ”
I can’t help but wonder if Bonnie Tyler was into Astrology. How else would she know how emotionally intense a Full Moon Eclipse can be?
This Wednesday’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse takes place in scorching Scorpio on April 25, and it’s expected to challenge our relationships and finances.
Maybe now it’s my turn to be melodramatic, but I can’t stand relationship drama and I’m always struggling with finances, so I’m pretty much studying up on my Bonnie Tyler lyrics to prepare for a troubling time.
A Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio always stirs up powerful feelings, but this time it’s making a conjunction to stern Saturn that will add extra pressure. Can you hear the wailing in the background yet?
This is just the first eclipse of the 2013 eclipse season, too. It will be followed by another Lunar Eclipse on May 25 and a Solar Eclipse on May 9.
Eclipses are usually challenging times because they can bring about sudden change, but you can prepare yourself for the eclipses to come by studying up on Maria DeSimone’s Eclipse Season Survival Guide at Tarot.com. She explains how each eclipse can pack a powerful punch that can be good or bad, depending on how you handle it.
I, for one, will be calling Tiffany to see if she can meet me at our fave karaoke joint to sing our troubles away before they even start!
