Super Flower Blood Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio
This upcoming full moon and lunar eclipse lands on May 16th, 2022 (May 20th, 2022 in my 13-month lunar calendar) and is in the sign of Scorpio. Eclipses are seen as intense illumination that often pushes us to grow. This watery Scorpio energy will bring in huge amounts of transformation and perspective shifts, but will also heighten intense emotions that come up to the surface. Things that are illuminated during this time are essential for growth, change and expansion to become the best version of ourselves. This intense energy will bring awareness and clarity regarding our emotions and will give us the support to finally purge stale energy in order for the new manifestations to come to fruition.
Planetary Alignments
The Sun is in Taurus and it is in opposition to the Moon that is in Scorpio, this opposition calls us to find a balance between more shallow aspects of life and more intricate aspects of ourselves. The Sun sextiles Mars and Neptune which will bring in more confidence and luck. Mars and Neptune are in conjunction; this indicates a blended rule to amplify the energy and often makes us more comfortable taking action. The moon also trines Mars; the assertiveness this Mars energy brings will help us grow during this time. The Sun squares Saturn- a square indicates friction and challenges between the realms of our lives that the astral bodies are involved in. Since the sun represents our sense of self, our identity and how we present ourselves and Saturn represents maturity and restriction, we will see a change in the dynamic of the way we live our lives. Mercury is in retrograde as of May 10th, 2022; Retrogrades are often challenges and stress tests in areas of our lives that involve our sense of self, although these times are very challenging for us they are really here to help us become strong within those realms.
What To Expect
Emotional Cleanse
Don’t be surprised if you face inconvenient truths about the reality of the situation during this time. You may experience feelings from the past coming up in an obvious all-consuming way. This full moon and eclipse energy will bring in a heightened emotional awareness bringing in an emotional cleanse. Things that we have been avoiding can come up during this time and although the tension can be uncomfortable, it is needed. The process can be tough and intense as emotions are making their way out of your system. It is important to let this emotion flow through you and allow yourself to actually feel instead of distracting yourself with instant gratification, so these emotions can release for good. Your inner world reflects in your outer world and when you’re able to let go and release the energy of wounds that are weighing you down you are able to tap back into yourself.
Leveling Up
Everything you are going through, everything that is being brought up and everything that is being illuminated by this eclipse, are all connected to the final outcome of you becoming the best version of yourself. When you are ready to level up into a stronger and radiant version of yourself, old habits, beliefs and tendencies may not be able to come with you to the complete transformation. Your lifestyle represents where you are spiritually, and sometimes we evolve spiritually first and then have to alter other areas of our lives to match who we are now, not who we once were. You may find that you will have to become more disciplined, professional or mature in different areas of your life to make the necessary changes. We saw this theme in the energy from the new moon in this lunar cycle, and this energy will heighten even more during the full moon and eclipse.
Living an Authentic Life
Is the life you are living reflect your true authentic self? You may realize that where you are currently, such as your job, the people you hang around with and what you do day to day is not “you”. It’s time to figure out what you want and take the action to make that happen. You can’t just sit around and wait for it to suddenly change or be attracted. You have to take action within yourself and this eclipse will make you aware of all the patterns that are not really you. It’s becoming more clear than ever before that it’s time to make the bigger changes to fully live your life authentically. When you start to build your life consciously from a place of authenticity, you will be happier, but it all starts within and the necessary actions and changes need to be done. It’s time to tap into the courage to learn to empower your authenticity and be unapologetic as fuck about it.
