How 2023's Final Eclipse On Oct. 28 Will Affect Your Zodiac Sign

Since Scorpio season began, everyone’s ability to lock in on their goals and desires has been at an all-time high. The Mars-ruled, water sign has amped up everyone’s desire to get to the bottom of any topic or interest that has captured your attention this time of year. Surface-level conversations may not be enough to keep you engaged now; instead, you might find yourself leaning into the parts of life that require complete tunnel vision. However, as the October 2023 lunar eclipse prepares to illuminate the cosmos, every zodiac sign will be encouraged to focus more on pleasure rather than the aspects of life that can carry a lot of emotional weight. So, if you’ve been obsessing over *that* toxic ex or your favorite true crime podcast, now is the time to focus your efforts more on fulfilling your needs in a tangible, materialistic sense.

The final eclipse of 2023 will reach its peak in the fixed earth sign of Taurus, illuminating what you crave in order to feel safe, comfortable, and well-supported. Since this is the sign of the moon’s exaltation, there’s a desire to accumulate more security in life. Since Scorpio season tends to shift your attention more toward the facets of life that are unearthly, it can oftentimes separate you from your most sensual urges. As this eclipse unfolds in every zodiac sign’s birth chart, what you’ve been craving will be placed front and center, making this a fortunate time to refill your cup.

What Is A Partial Lunar Eclipse?

A lunar eclipse happens when there is a full moon that occurs at the same time that the Earth, sun, and moon are in alignment. When this takes place, the Earth moves between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth to cast a shadow across the moon, preventing it from being fully illuminated by the sun. Since this is a partial eclipse, there will be a portion of the moon that won’t be covered by the Earth’s shadow.

When Does The October 2023 Lunar Eclipse Take Place?

On Oct. 28 at 4:24 p.m. EST, the year’s last lunar eclipse will reach its peak at 5 degrees, in the sensual sign of Taurus. This eclipse will be visible across the world, but mainly in America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. During this supercharged full moon, the needs and desires of every zodiac sign will be illuminated. Now is the time to refocus on what satisfies and sustains you, whether it be something emotional or tangible. This eclipse closes out the cycle that began back in 2021, when the North Node was in Taurus. While the collective focus has since shifted, this lunation is your final reminder to not deprive yourself of what you want, even if it seems vain or materialistic.

Here’s how every zodiac sign will be affected by October 2023’s partial lunar eclipse:

Aries Zodiac Signs (March 21 - April 19)

As the eclipse unfolds on Oct. 28, you’ll be prioritizing your money, resources, and values.

Pay close attention to what your craving today, Aries — it may be something you’ve been deprived of for awhile.

Taurus Zodiac Signs (April 19 - May 21)

You’re the main character during this month’s lunar eclipse, Taurus, and as it unfolds in your first house of self-expression on Oct. 28, your own needs and desires will be placed front and center. If you’ve been overly consumed with the relationships you’re a part of, this full moon serves as an opportunity to reconsider what you need in order to feel the most satisfied.

While connections with others are important, you’ll want to make sure you’re not over-relying on other people to keep you happy.

Gemini Zodiac Signs (May 21 - June 22)

On Oct. 28, the Taurus lunar eclipse illuminates your desire to duck off and unplug from the outside world.
