The Scorpio Full Moon May 5th is also a lunar Eclipse – Eclipses are a big deal in Astrology, acting as powerful portals that propel events forward rapidly, often bringing endings and new beginnings, by way of a single incident, or a series of events, causing a chain reaction, changing the trajectory of things. It’s one of the ways the Universe re-shuffles the deck and puts you on your path. The energies during the Eclipse Portal can feel chaotic and unpredictable for some, so give yourself some grace and allow yourself some space in the days surrounding these potent periods.
This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is highly sensitive, both emotionally and psychically. Lunar Eclipses often bring closure to matters and this, being a South Node Eclipse, is connected with the past, giving a karmic and fated feel as ways of life and Soul Contracts come to their conclusion.
Scorpio is the sign associated with the Cycles of Life, Death and Rebirth. There’s a sense of the psychological realm with Scorpio, making things complex, complicated and intense, sometimes with a murky undercurrent, or something mysterious and unfathomable. This sign is linked to the Underworld, the unmentionable, personal demons, torments and terrors.
This period can point to your trigger issues in an emotional and material way, drawing attention to areas of trust and security, perhaps showing up as anger, grief, resentment, jealousy, betrayal, as well as sharing, intimacy, deep connections, sex, union, bonding and exchanging with another.
There’s also the financial side to the Taurus – Scorpio axis bringing Big Banks, loans, credit, markets, inheritance, taxes, insurance, settlements and shared resources into the picture while surrounding situations regarding these are unsettling and unstable.
This phase shines light in dark places, bringing shadows to the surface, revealing what’s been hidden, enabling the shedding of an old skin, resulting in revitalization, restoration, revival, renewal, recovery and liberation.
In terms of healing, you may be spiraling upwards in your journey, perhaps following a phase of total emotional meltdown and release. In many ways it’s a phase for removing, discarding or extracting the dead wood and decay, anything that no longer serves- making room for many new opportunities, possibilities and experiences.
Whatever is revealed now – whether personally or ‘out there’ in the world, even if it feels problematic, threatening, horrid or alarming, know that it serves a purpose and by bringing things to light, it assists in raising the vibration, so those things that are not a vibrational match melt away quickly as the lower vibe and density cannot exist in a higher frequency – things are lighting and leveling up quickly.
Pluto, the ruler of this Lunar Eclipse, just turned retrograde on May 1st in the earliest degree of Aquarius – after making a historic move into Aquarius in March, the first time it’s been in this slice of the Heavens in nearly 250 years. Pluto retrograde insists that transformation is an inside job, while Aquarius represents Humanity – signaling that the rebirth of Humanity is underway, beginning, perhaps with a collective purging and dark night of the soul.
The Sabian Symbol for this lunation is, “children playing on five mounds of sand”. This degree of the zodiac symbolizes the emergence of other realms, while being between worlds – as we are now, and can now be seen and felt by many with the thinning of the veil. While HUmanity finds itself on the precipice of a new era, and a new paradigm, it’s time to remember who you are and feel into what you love, and what sparks your child-like wonder, igniting the fire of creativity within, as you may be called upon to show others how to be and do things differently in the up-and-coming world.
Mercury retrograde and Uranus are closely connected to the Taurus Sun, bringing some shocking revelations and stunning disclosures or discoveries. You can take another look at a situation, coming out on the other side of things with a completely different perspective and mindset. This influence carries a lot of spontaneity, freedom of thought and unconventionality. Keep an open mind and don’t be afraid to learn something new – things may not be what you thought they were. Awakening is well underway.
You might receive unexpected news or visitors or take part in stimulating conversations, breakthrough ideas and plans, perhaps involving technology, communication networks or large groups of people. Maybe you catch up with someone out of the blue that you haven’t seen in quite a while.
Additionally, there may be financial news and sudden economic shifts, changes to banking, costs, currencies, earnings, payments, market fluctuations and instability, that requires review, discussions, planning or revisions.
Venus in Gemini links up with Jupiter in Aries and Neptune in Pisces, bringing multiple social opportunities, with all the makings for a few magical moments of creativity, camaraderie and connection. Speaking your Truth attracts the right people while the others tune out. Perhaps there’s someone that speaks your love language, saying all the right things – just be sure it’s not insincere, empty talk. Or it may be that you’re able to communicate with someone on an intuitive, telepathic level – you just get each other in a way that flows. You feel optimistic, hopeful and self-assured as you branch out into new areas, making considerable and honest efforts, inviting conversation with a mixture of contacts and acquaintances, or on a number of topics, developing rapport with a deeper understanding, compassion and meaningful exchanges.
If you have a concept to promote, you can come up with an attractive message that strikes a chord of truth on a deeper level.
May also holds other energetic shifts and events…
Mercury moves to Direct motion on the 14th, ending its retrograde phase.
Jupiter moves into Taurus on the 16th – for the first time in twelve years and immediately tangles with Pluto in Aquarius bringing about a ten-day period of rapid change and growth and major shifts in society – but more about that next time.
Full Moon Blessings and Good Vibes to ALL!
