The Scorpio Full Moon May 16^th is also a Lunar Eclipse, promising to be a transformative period, full of emotional intensity and psychic sensitivity as you plunge the depths during this phase. This Eclipse is connected to the past signaling that it’s time for letting go and going with the flow. There’s something that needs to come to a close now.

Eclipses are powerful portals in which there’s an immense amount of Cosmic Energy shifting, often bringing about sudden endings and new beginnings. This is one of the ways the Universe puts us on path. Things can feel unsettling and unpredictable during Eclipses as events seem to be fast-tracked. It’s good practice to keep your schedule lighter the days surrounding the Eclipses. 

The Lunar Eclipse is in Scorpio, the sign associated with The Underworld, things that are taboo, unmentionable and unthinkable, situations involving things like power, control, manipulation, violence, abuse, lust, jealousy, betrayal, resentment, and trust. 

This phase tests what you’re made of, calling you out to face your shadows, darkness, personal demons or issues of life and death, bringing forth deep transformation, resulting in a revival, resurrection and renewal after culling and scrapping what no longer serves, removing what holds you back. 

Additionally, Scorpio is a financial sign, emphasizing big banks, loans, credit, taxes, inheritances, insurance settlements, or recurring payments like royalties, commissions, annuities and subscriptions.

Both of Scorpio’s rulers, Mars and Pluto connect with this lunation, amplifying the raw power and transformative energy of this Eclipse.   This period is a major turning point and will be strongly felt.   

Mars and Neptune in Pisces favorably connect to this Eclipse, enhancing the mystery and secrecy as well as the psychic and spiritual activity or otherworldly happenings. You can be deeply reflective and meditative, highly tuned in to the undercurrents in your surroundings or things that have gone on behind the scenes, in the shadows and below the surface come to light now. Secrets are revealed. Ghosts of the past and skeletons in the closet arise in this Now.

Pluto retrograde in Capricorn also connects with this lunation, pointing to the past being dug up, as an inner evolution is underway, restructuring, reforming and removing what’s blocking you, preventing you from being whole.  It’s as if you’re open for business while under construction – please pardon our appearance -things are messy, there’s excavation and demolition in progress, while scaffolding is in place supporting anything still salvageable and viable. 

Venus and Chiron connect in Aries during this period, portending that the way through this is Love - Love beats the demons.  This influence also brings about self-love and healing relationship rifts. 



The Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio is, “Indians making camp after settling a new territory”, suggesting that you learn to tune into nature and go with the flow, to adjust and adapt to your new way of living, being reborn of your ashes like the Phoenix, which is also represented by Scorpio. 

Saturn in Aquarius puts the pressure on this Eclipse and the Nodal Axis, implying a crossroads, a point of choice, and the collective responsibility in anchoring the frequency of (y)our timeline. As much is coming to the surface, being revealed, to be faced and reflected upon, you’ll decide if you rise up and rise above or stay where you are. The choice is yours. Every moment presents a choice – so ask yourself if your choice supports and brings you closer (or not) to where you wish to be in your end game. 

This influence also hints at the formation of communities of like-minded individuals, having shared values and responsibilities as well as social order, engineering and restrictions. 

Lastly, Mercury Rx in his home sign, Gemini connects with Jupiter, newly in Aries, suggesting that you take another look at some bit of information, story or scenario, seeing things in a new light, grasping a larger view, gaining a new perspective from your recent knowledge. Jupiter here gives you the strength and courage to face certain truths.  There are new plans and ideas, boldly branching out in new directions. Alternatively, there’s a push promoting and selling an old story.

Full Moon Blessings and Good Vibes to All!
