Scorpio Blood Moon Eclipse

Monday the 16th of May we have a Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse rising in the water sign of Scorpio.  The Eclipse will be visible from across North and South America, plus parts of Europe and Africa.

A Blood Moon Eclipse is rare and potent. It signifies an ending, a closure point to a chapter not just in our lives, but on our soul journey too.

Blood Moon Eclipses get their name from the reddish hue the Moon takes on when a Total Lunar Eclipse occurs. A Total Lunar Eclipse or Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse always falls on a Full Moon and is the most potent kind we can experience. They carry the weight of a thousand Full Moons!

Eclipses can activate our soul’s contract which can bring forward events that are essential for our growth and evolution. Eclipses can place obstacles on our path, but they also eventually put us in a place, where we need to be.

This Scorpio Blood Moon Eclipse is called the carrier of endings and closures

The Blood Moon Eclipse will guide us to close the doors on certain chapters of our lives as it signifies closure, completions, and endings. This Eclipse may just be the trigger something that needs to stop.

As the Blood Moon Eclipse falls in the sign of Scorpio we may find ourselves retreating to shed our layers and transform deeper into another aspect of ourselves on life’s journey.

Scorpio is represented by a Scorpion that can shed its skin and transform itself. The Scorpio energy is also linked to the Phoenix as this mythical creature has the strength to birth itself from ashes.

We will be offered the power to do this for ourselves and rise into our highest form from the ashes. The Eclipse may bring ashes to us, but it will also promise that we too will be able to rise like the Phoenix and be reborn to fulfill our true potential.

As we feel the Eclipse energy building, we may find ourselves needing to retreat or conserve our energy. In this quiet space, we may find ourselves experiencing awakenings, ah-ha moments, and deeper realisations about our paths journey, our relationships, and the situations we find ourselves in.

Eclipses are a highly sensitive, psychic time, so pay attention to any nagging feelings or intuitions. As Mercury will also be in retrograde under this Eclipse, we may find ourselves feeling mentally foggy or even a little confused about how to proceed in our external world.

If this arises, we should take it as a call to go within, be patient, and get still with our inner voice.

Our inner voice always knows the way, and even though this Eclipse may require us to be a little patient in what unfolds, we can trust that we will have all the answers we need in time.

Under this Blood Moon Eclipse, Venus and Chiron will also be in alignment. This planetary combination can send purifying, healing vibrations our way, helping us to find closure on wounds that have troubled us.

Some wounds can never be healed, but under this Eclipse there are soothing energies that can support us in finding our balance and strength.

As Blood Moon Eclipses are a good time for endings, we can consciously use this energy to set an intention to bring an ending to any painful wounds, stories, or situations that we may find ourselves in.

Mars and Neptune are also in alignment under this Eclipse, guiding us to focus on our spiritual connection. Mars is a fearless, warrior-driven energy, whereas Neptune is all about a higher love and connection.

This combination of energy under the Blood Moon Eclipse guides us to focus on our spiritual wellbeing and to remember that we are souls here for a human experience.

This is also a highly dramatic Moon as Scorpio Full Moons tend to be with every potential of conflict, argument and power and control games. If not for the help and support of Pluto, Mars and Neptune, this one could be a train wreck.

Full Moons are known for making big emotional waves, but with supportive aspects from Pluto in Capricorn (integrity and truth), as well as Mars and Neptune in Pisces (action guided by spirituality, faith, and compassion), we are offered many possible paths to finding smooth cleansing with this energy.

There will be one more Blood Moon Eclipse this year in November and it will be visible to us in Australia ?. These two Eclipses will work together. It is very likely that the November Eclipse will carry similar themes to whatever is unfolding for us under the Scorpio Blood Moon Eclipse.

Pay attention to what comes up during the Eclipse, if it still needs time to bubble up to the surface then we just need to observe, catalogue it and allow it to unfold as needed.

Super Blood Moon Eclipse ♥

This Wednesday the 26th of May we have a Super Blood Moon Eclipse falling in the sign of Sagittarius… and for most parts of Australia it will be visible weather permitting.

The Eclipse takes place just a few hours after the Moon reaches perigee, the closest point to Earth on its orbit, making it a Super Blood Moon.

This Eclipse also marks the beginning of an “almost tetrad” because it kicks off a series of four big Lunar Eclipses in two years. Three of these Eclipses are total, while one of them, on November 18-19, 2021, is a deep partial Eclipse. So deep that it is almost a total Eclipse.

The Penumbral Eclipse begins at 6:50pm for us on the East Coast of Australia & the Full Eclipse begins at 9:11pm with its peak at 9:18pm. The duration of the Full Eclipse lasts around 14 minutes, so fingers crossed for cloud free skies.

Blood Moon Eclipses are quite special and get their name due to the reddish colour the Moon takes on when there is a Total Eclipse.

The ancient civilizations often saw them as ominous and signaling troubled times ahead. Astrologically a Blood Moon Eclipse are about sudden change or a need to transform or shift our lives in a new direction. The spiritual tone behind this Blood Moon Eclipse is about ethics and morals.

Falling in the sign of Sagittarius the Blood Moon Eclipse takes on Sagi vibrations. Sagittarius rules over the higher mind and wisdom. Its energy allows us to focus on the bigger picture and to see things from a more expansive point of view.

Represented by the arrow of the archer, Sagittarius energy allows us to set our intentions and aim our arrow in that direction. Even though our intention guides its journey, it is not in our complete control as to where it is going to land.

Whatever unfolds at the time of this Eclipse, we can connect with Sagittarian energy for guidance. Use it to focus on the bigger picture, see if we can expand our mindset, and look at things from a more abundant perspective.

We need to trust and honor wherever our arrow has landed, even if it is not where we thought it would end up. Knowing that the time will soon come for new intentions to be set, and a new adventure to unfold.

On a Blood Moon Eclipse, we may find that something is released from our lives or a path is cleared for us, even if we were not necessarily looking for a clearing.

The thing with Eclipses is that they put us where we need to be. They represent portals that elevate and push us to that next chapter and to a higher evolution of our soul. They represent a quantum jump into a new and higher state of consciousness.

We need to trust what falls away from our lives around the time of an Eclipse, even if it feels challenging, for Eclipses are often direct messages from the Cosmos that it is time to let go.

Due to planetary aspects around the Super Blood Moon Eclipse, we may also discover secrets or hidden information rising to the surface. It is this information that may inspire change or transformation, but it is this information that can also give rise to an awakening.

Knowledge is power, and we may very well find that this new information can give us much-needed clarity and answers to where we are heading and what our next steps need to be.

Mercury, the planet of communication will be close to Venus at the time of this Eclipse, signaling a time to speak from the heart, to speak with compassion, and to come from a place of love, not fear.

Eclipses can affect us all differently, but we are all bound to feel the deep stir of emotions that they can bring.

Full Moons are always a time where our own emotions can bubble to the surface, and on an Eclipse, especially a Blood Moon Eclipse, this can be amplified.

As the Moon falls into the darkness, it symbolizes all our own dark emotions rising to the surface. All the shadows that have lurked behind the scenes suddenly come into our awareness.

Honor any emotions that come, but if you begin to feel overwhelmed, it may help to give yourself space and compassion until the Eclipse energies have passed.

As Eclipses are powerful, we may not reach the other side of its energy until the Solar Eclipse of June, so be patient and know that any funky things will soon pass.

Blood Moon Eclipses are also said to bring an increase in extreme weather and can also amplify tensions that are playing out on the global stage.

As the shadow falls across the face of the Moon, our intuitive & hidden powers are elevated. We are encouraged to take our focus off the 3D world and enter into the unseen world of spirit, higher consciousness, and infinite possibilities.

Eclipses are magical events that are gifts from the Universe and put us where we need to be. They challenge us to walk that bridge into a new state of our evolution. They bring change but they also bring awakening and an opportunity to level up on our soul path.

Aspects

The Moon is square Jupiter which is not usually that challenging and the orb for this aspect is over four degrees which is not strong. But this is a total Lunar Eclipse, and all the other significant aspects are very challenging. The Eclipse is also affected by nasty Mars-Saturn-type stars. So, the more negative qualities of Jupiter are likely to be expressed. These include greed, excess, waste, immorality, overconfidence, and over-optimism.

We may experience changeable moods and changing tastes can present relationship difficulties. You may also have to watch a tendency toward excess when it comes to food, alcohol, drugs, and gambling, especially if you have problems with addiction.

Mercury & Neptune stays within a two-degree orb from May 25 to June 9 because Mercury stations retrograde on May 29. So, confusion, deception, insecurity, and misunderstanding have a major influence on the Super Blood Moon.

This aspect can distort our thinking which can complicate discussions and business dealings. So, it is important to listen carefully and speak in simple, clear terms. Allow no room for misinterpretation. If you must deal with any very important business, government, or legal matters, seek professional advice or help from a trusted friend.

There is some icky energy floating around about treachery and scandal. Even little white lies could lead to major embarrassment or the need for more convoluted cover-ups. Avoid conspiracy theories or strange and extreme spiritual and religious views. Protect yourself against loan sharks, pushy salespeople, cult leaders, and psychic vampires.

Venus & Neptune gives a heightened need for tenderness but also increases the risk of over-idealization. A tendency to form a distorted image of someone else could lead to disappointment, scandal, and being taken advantage of. Matters of trust may become an issue in relationships.  Low self-esteem and feelings of insecurity are possible.

With both Mercury and Venus square Neptune, it is very easy to become confused, deceived, and generally get the wrong impression. This applies to our thoughts, communications, love life, finances, business dealings, and our health and diet.

Saturn square Uranus brings restrictive change or unexpected restrictions. It can bring change that we don’t really want. It also makes it harder to make the kind of changes we do want. This can be a very frustrating time of rising tension and sudden, expected changes. But it does not have to be like that. If we stay open-minded, patient and flexible, what at first seem like challenges, can be turned into opportunities to rid ourselves of negative, restrictive, and limiting things in our lives.

Things will become clearer and move forward with more ease with the sister Solar Eclipse in June.

We can use the energy of the Lunar Eclipse to dive in deep, connect with our inner, true self. Recognise that any changes or transformations that unfolding are part of our destiny and are there to take us to the next chapter of our story.
