Scorpio Lunar Eclipse Miniscopes

May 12

scorpio lunar Eclipse
Miniscopes

Evolution, Transformation, Death.

Taurus Season is known for its fresh, lush landscape, perfect for creating a foundation for growth and abundance. However, below the earth lies a slow-burning fire at the core that can’t be ignored. This is the Scorpio Full Moon. There is a connection between Taurus and Scorpio that is often overlooked; they are polarities. Where Taurus can be fixated and stable, Scorpio brings in a sense of change and clears out the old to make way for the new. We can’t have one without the other, as release sets the stage for what’s to come. The eclipse is exact on May 16th at 12:14 AM ET in Scorpio 25º.

We reflect the dichotomy of our own natures with a Full Moon: the internal & external – intimate & exposed. This lunation, in particular, is an eclipse – illuminating uncertainties in our lives and forcing us into a place of change. Eclipses show us the truth. When we see things for what they are, there is no mistaking. However, as the dust is swirling around us from this influx of energy, we must step back and see the big picture. What is really happening here? How does this relate to my life overall? In a Full Moon Eclipse, someone or something may be eclipsed out of our lives.

As Saturn comes in to square both the Sun and Moon, we may feel quite restrictive, making our foundations feel weaker than we had initially anticipated. Luckily, Mars, the leader of this Full Moon, will be supportive. It will be in compassionate Pisces. Although this is not always an ideal placement for Mars, it can remind us that our energy lies in our ability to live confidently in our vulnerabilities. This message is reinforced with the Scorpion’s need to expose our fears and break down the phobias that keep us from fully unearthing our potential.

This eclipse will make us dig in the gardens of our past to rediscover pieces of ourselves. Mercury invites us to reflect and step back to see what we have growing in front of us. Even if fresh flowers are blooming—know that the further we go, the more room the roots have to grow.

Pluto finds its way into granting us some relief from the stress of Saturn. Pluto reminds us that we must embrace the Scorpio energy of this lunation. Transformation occurs when we embrace the power within and take control of every facet of our being —no matter how shadowed, how deep, or how misunderstood.

Let go, to grow. Release to Rise. The Phoenix has been awakened.

If you have any personal planets in your chart at 20º to 29º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon (Lunar Eclipse) the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign!

ARIES TO CANCER

Aries & Aries Rising

8th House | Cycles

We are now in the midst of eclipse season, where changes are swift and inevitable. You can think of an eclipse as a cosmic broom and dustpan. It comes to sweep away what is no longer working. This is the middle of a new cycle – one that focuses on Taurus/Scorpio and will carry us through this year and parts of the next. We continue this series with a Full Moon, meaning that some things may need to end in order for new ones to begin.

As the Moon reaches fullness, it will shine a light on your 8th House. This is an area of your chart that rarely sees the light of day. Here, the focus is on all you share intimately with others — your resources, your emotional nature, your fears, and your healing. There is a call to get deep and reflect on your path up until this point. The 8th House points to cycles, and in many ways, you will be ending and beginning new cycles. Your resources will be in question or come to mind — in a material sense and otherwise. You are asked to share more deeply with those you trust and open up, especially when you find yourself in a place of fear and uncertainty. The 8th House exposes all that sits below the surface. It’s time to swim in the deeper waters.

Saturn creates some tension at this eclipse, where it will restrict, restrain, and otherwise hold the Moon captive somehow. It sits in your 11th House, and it forms a T-Square with the Sun and Moon. Perhaps a dream, a friend, an idea seem to disappoint. Saturn brings obstacles, and there could be a few unnecessary blocks in your life, especially regarding your network, future, or friendships. But don’t fret; there are a few outlets for this energy. One is to look at where Leo sits in your chart. This is the opposing energy of Saturn in Aquarius, providing a sense of relief from the stagnation at this eclipse.

Mars and Neptune are in a very harmonious position at this lunation. They collectively bring a sense of awareness around an ending or an area that may need closure in your life. Mars leads this Full Moon, and it helps to give you the gusto you need to start bringing something to a close. Endings are not bad. Instead, it feels much like something that you have been meaning to review or reflect on for a while. This is especially true as Mercury retrogrades during this eclipse. Take time to consider where you could use some proper closure. Remember that oftentimes, closure is internal more than anything.

As an aside, Jupiter has recently entered your sign, adding a flair of adventure, excitement, and growth into your life over the next 5 months. You now carry the Midas touch. Whatever you wish can turn to gold.

Use this Full Moon to break bad habits. Shine a light on the shadows in your life and face your fears. Open up about things more intimately with people you trust and allow others to more deeply support you. Reframe your financial picture and focus on ways to alleviate a scarcity mindset. Even as the material resources may ebb and flow, there will be plenty of opportunity for a fresh start. Reclaim your power. This is only the beginning.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

7th House | Harmony

The tides change, and the focus will shift during your season. The beginning of a new ecliptic cycle has started with this Full Moon. Of course, eclipses are potent energetic portals that bring sweeping changes in our lives. They come and go in waves, and some will feel more powerful than others. The next few months will see them fall in your sign and your polarity, Taurus. So, expect to see important shifts in you and your relationships with others.

This eclipse will be lighting up your 7th House. How you relate to others is what comes to mind here. The 7th House rules partnerships — platonic, romantic, business, familial, and otherwise. So you could bring a close relationship to an end or have it taken to the next level. In some ways, the ball is in your court. Alternatively, you may be asked to see more of another person’s point of view. Maybe there have been misunderstandings with someone you care about, –– now is really your chance to find peace, resolution, and unity together. Whatever comes of this eclipse, just know that boundaries will change and dynamics will end, but new ones will be brought in their place.

Saturn adds a level of focus at this eclipse, where it creates a T-Square with the Moon and the Sun. This means that tension arises from the point in your chart where Aquarius lies. There could be something that bubbles up around your work, career, people in positions of power, and how you are being witnessed or viewed. It seems that you may be given an extra level of responsibility, but it doesn’t seem to match what you are worth. Additionally, it could be that whatever is going on at work will detract from your personal life. Look to where Leo is in your chart as a form of an outlet. Perhaps you need to re-focus some energy back home.

Now, Mars and Neptune are very helpful at this lunation. They sit in your 11th House. Friends, connections, and those around you seem to be willing to aid you. Mars leads this lunation and welcomes the chance for you to find power in community. Maybe you need to reconnect with someone or a group you have not spoken to in a while. You may be needed, or they could help you in your time of need. Mercury retrogrades at this eclipse, bringing up pieces of the past and asking you to reflect and reconnect. Your value and worth will be re-iterated to you by those you keep close. Don’t be too afraid to ask for help if you need it.

Additionally, Jupiter has recently entered Aries, sitting in the sign just behind yours. This can bring a sense of openness to seeking closure and finally putting something to rest. There is power in your peace and growth in your solace. Take time to expand in your solitude. Your intuition will be heightened over the next 5 months.

Use this Full Moon to focus on the others in your life. Figure out the dynamics and how you show up to your relationships — and how the other people show up for you, too. This is all about the two-way street. You could have to make decisions or find a conclusion. Create boundaries where necessary and allow for the right relationships to flourish for you. You are on the brink of so much change.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

6th House | Ritual

As we shift from one eclipse to the next, you will start to feel the weight you have been carrying lift a little more. This Full Moon will continue the Taurus/Scorpio cycle that we will carry for the rest of the year. This series will highlight some of the changes you have already made during the eclipses in your sign from June 2020 - December 2021. However, you may be asked to dive a little deeper.

The Full Moon will be bright in your 6th House, where your health, daily routines, and even work will come into play. You are faced with ways to reschedule your life and create better rituals and regimens. If you have been dealing with health issues, this is not a time to sweep that under the rug. You will have to face the facts and get the answers you need. Some of you could be trying to be healthier or just find the balance between work and life. You will be busier than normal around this eclipse, so care for yourself. If people try to overstep your boundaries, you have the power to let them know. Your workplace will likely be going through changes — try not to internalize them or bite off more than you can chew. If you work for yourself, consider how much you can realistically take on right now.

Saturn will be adding to this energy, creating a T-Square with the Moon and Sun. It may be restraining your sense of adventure and how or where you seek growth in your life. Saturn’s weight is a bit heavy, so we could feel lower around this Full Moon. Perhaps a disappointment may come up, or maybe you are not feeling as confident as normal. Look to where Leo sits in your chart as an outlet for this energy. Perhaps communication and the willingness to speak up are what will help you. This is even more true as Mercury retrogrades in your sign. Your voice matters — use it.

Mars and Neptune work well this eclipse from your 10th house. It seems that others may not fully see what you are working through, but there is a strong sense of motivation to make a dream come to fruition. Mars leads this eclipse, and it finishes its transit through Pisces. You could break through the fog by trusting yourself a bit more. This may require some self-reflection and re-imagining of what success means to you.

Jupiter has recently moved into your 11th House, where it will remain until October 28th. Consider that this is a call to community. Maybe the re-imagining of your success is steeped in the growth of your personal network, dreams, and the community around you. The next 5 months will bring the right people into your life and have you willing to see the possibility that the future holds.

Use this Full Moon to focus on your health and body. Take control of the details and mind the little things. Create better boundaries with work and cultivate a work/life balance. Seek a job change or shift in responsibilities if you are not happy with what you are doing. Find new clients if you work for yourself and implement a better way to serve your needs first.

11th House | Vision

5th House | Joy

We know that change is inevitable. It comes with sweeping gestures that push us in one direction or another. To see the power in change as a potential new beginning shifts our mindset. Eclipses are known to bring swift and chaotic energy that blossoms into a fresh start. Sometimes, this happens within the 18-month cycle, and sometimes it happens during a 4-week period. Either way, we know that things are about to gain momentum, especially as this lunar eclipse begins to culminate.

We see the Full Moon shine a light on your 5th House, a place of creativity, conception, expression, love, and children. This is an area of joy and pleasure. So, what makes you happy? You could be reflecting on how to bring more fun into your life and opening yourself up to new adventures. You feel ready now. However, this means repairing the relationship you have with your self-image. Why shy away from the spotlight? You deserve space as much as anyone else. To allow yourself to be seen, is to be proud of who you are. Don’t hide for the sake of someone else’s perceptions. If you are looking to conceive an idea, a project, a child, or a relationship, let this Full Moon help you. It takes a level of risk to make it happen, but what do you have to lose? You are becoming more aware of your ability to manifest your desires into reality.

Saturn adds a level of restriction at this eclipse. It creates a T-Square with the Moon and Sun, holding both captives through tension. At this lunation, there may be a feeling of stagnation that stems from old habits that need to die or fears that hold you back. Saturn sitting in your 8th House has been bursting the shadows within you open, and now you are tasked with confronting them. Personally, your sense of intimacy or power may be called into question. Release outdated stigmas. Look to where Leo sits in your chart as an outlet — perhaps it is time to find value and worth in yourself again.

Mars and Neptune are quite helpful at this eclipse, luckily. They bring harmonious energy to the Moon from your 9th House. There is a possibility of you needing to take a risk, or are feeling motivated to leave an unhealthy dynamic. Mars leads this Full Moon and tells you to seek adventure. Once you take a leap of faith, you may gain the clarity and closure you seek. Mercury retrogrades, so it seems that your mind will revisit an area of your life that you have left unresolved. Maybe part of that leap of faith is tying up that loose end and having the courage to do so.

Additionally, Jupiter has recently entered your 10th House. It aims to bring a sense of expansion and auspiciousness to your career life and image. Over the next 5 months, you may find significant growth in your work — leading up to a promotion, raise, self-employment, or just overall personal success. Jupiter will gift you a fortuitous opportunity in the months/year.

Use this Full Moon to play, create and get in touch with your inner child. Repair the relationship with your self-image and feel more confident in how you express yourself. Open your heart up and show people what you are made of. Take new risks and really put yourself out there. This is a time to be seen and take up room like you never have before. You are worthy of this.

LEO TO SCORPIO

Leo & Leo Rising

4th House | Foundation

We are now submerged into eclipse season, and with this comes a full wave of activity. However, for you, things are a bit different. You are craving quiet, stability, and emotional peace. Eclipses can bring swift change, and for you, this may come on the Homefront. Given the power of an eclipse, it may not be comfortable – but it will be for the best. This is the continuation of a new ecliptic cycle, and one that we will experience for 18 months or so. Family, home, sanctuary, space ,and your emotional past will come into play during this series.

Your 4th House is lit up at this eclipse, where you see changes in your family and home. There can be dynamics that alter. You could be confronted to deal with your past and find peace with your memories — even if they were hard. The 4th House is about emotional foundations, and it is from here that everything is built. Stabilizing this part of your life allows for the security you seek. Some of you may bring in new members of the family, change your living space or even update your decor. You are being asked to take control of this private part of your life. Home is where the heart is, and you have to ensure that your heart is safe and protected.

It can feel a bit like a time of pressure, especially as Saturn forms a square to the Sun and Moon. Saturn has been touring your 7th House, looking for you to make commitments and build on reciprocal relationships. It has highlighted the people in your life who aren’t giving you what you deserve. At this eclipse, this feels more on the forefront of your mind. Saturn may bring up a disappointment around a relationship or close partnership. Maybe someone isn’t being so forthright or is seemingly not respecting your boundaries. Interestingly, Leo is the outlet for this energy at the eclipse. So, there is much to be said about you focusing on your desires, motivations, and autonomy. You can’t compromise your being for the sake of someone’s security.

Luckily, Mars and Neptune are very helpful at this eclipse. They sit in your 8th House, bringing a willingness to find some quiet. You may actively decide to do something that betters your healing or break a specific cycle/habit that no longer serves you. Mars leads this lunation, and it could even make you more motivated to invest your resources differently. Mercury retrogrades in your 11th at this eclipse, so this would be a powerful time to reconnect with people you enjoy.

Lastly, Jupiter has just recently entered Aries, where it will emphasize your own sense of adventure. You may be inspired to travel, expand your horizons, or take a few classes in the coming 5 months. With Jupiter in a fellow Fire sign, you will deeply feel this energy!

Use this Full Moon to bring it all back home. Spend time with your family. Redecorate or reorganize your home. Prepare yourself for a move or a change in the home/family front. Focus on your emotional well-being and tend to places where you feel more vulnerable. Create stability in the quiet and make time for personal reflection. You redefine your peace and carve out space for you to process how you feel. Your foundations are changing.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

3rd House | Teach

You may be wary about using your voice, but sometimes speaking up can be the greatest tool we have to reclaim our power, peace, and freedom. You will be changing how you use this tool over the next few months, especially as we continue this eclipse series with this Full Moon in Scorpio. The stories you have been told change, especially as you are the one who will write the next chapter. Your flexibility will be tested, which will be a testament to your growth.

The eclipse comes to shine brilliantly on your 3rd House. You will feel as if your phone is ringing off the hook. It seems that a lot of people are contacting you and trying to get ahold of you. The 3rd House rules communication, so dialogue is going to be very important now. Watch what you say and how you say it, listen to what others are saying as well. You could be signing a contract or need to make something more official. Whatever it is, you are busier than you have been in a while––and it seems that it is coming from all sides. This is also a space for learning, adapting, and integrating. In this House, we find power through words and through what we learn in daily life. Perhaps you are being asked to be more proactive and take more control of your daily affairs. Scheduling and organizing will be helpful.

Saturn will add a bit of weight around this eclipse. It is touring your 6th House, so your health will need to be maintained. You could be feeling lower energy than normal or having some deadlines at work that are keeping you from truly unwinding as you’d like. Saturn forms a T-Square with the Sun and Moon, making an outlet Leo. There is a big call to slow down around this time and find moments of respite. It seems that your busyness may catch up with you if you are not careful. You will need to re-evaluate how much time and energy you are giving people and projects in your life — especially with Mercury retrograde at this eclipse.

Mars and Neptune are very helpful at this lunation, luckily. They are showing you a level of support that is unmatched from your 7th House. A partner, close friend, or relationship in your life is giving you some much-needed peace and clarity. Mars leads this lunation, so things could be moving quickly or with much verve with someone you are close to. Perhaps they take the lead without word, especially if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed or in need of a break. Lean into this and allow them to show up for you. Alternatively, ask for the help and know you are supported.

Jupiter recently entered your 8th House, bringing some much-needed shifting in your life. This movement adds to strong levels of clarity and growth in your own sense of intimacy and power. Jupiter could be quite auspicious in this space financially, but also spiritually. There is a call to explore your own shadows a bit.

Use this Full Moon to work on your dialogue. Use your voice as a tool for change and growth. Speak up and talk about what is happening below the surface. Establish strong relationships with those you trust and take a leap of faith on the things you believe in. Discern anxiety vs intuition and find peace in knowing you are still working toward what you want — even if it feels unclear. Perfection is unfolding. Right now, you have to address today to get to tomorrow.

Libra & Libra Rising

2nd House | Accumulation

We are now fully in the embrace of Eclipse Season. Eclipses are like cosmic dustpans and brooms, they come in to shake things up and – then clean up. This is to rattle any complacency and stagnation. They create a swell of energy. Lunar eclipses, in particular, like this one, are very illuminating. They shine a light on problem areas or things that need to be addressed. Perhaps something is coming to a climax. This eclipse continues the new series — one that focuses on your resource sector.

You may find that you have changes to your values, self-worth, resources, or assets. There can be a call to open yourself up more – but also to find stable ground to stand on. This eclipse brings an awareness to your 2nd House of ownership, income, value, and worth. It may be time to visit the values and traditions you hold. Do they still align with you personally? Have you outgrown certain views? This is ok. With the 2nd House, we stabilize our identity from the 1st House, thus we have to be ok with evolving our view on the world and everything around us. You alternatively could have changes to your income, financial picture, or need to address what you truly have ownership of in your life. The eclipse will highlight where you could improve. This may come as a result of some valuable insight(s) you receive from Pluto’s positive reception to this eclipse.

Now Saturn is creating a bit of tension at this lunar eclipse. It is sitting in your 5th House, where you may feel restricted in your sense of joy or pleasure. You could have a disappointment around a conception, a romance, or even with how people are receiving you at this time. Saturn forms a T-Square to the Sun and Moon, and this welcomes you to look at Leo in your chart. Perhaps you are taking on too much or trying to manifest all you desire on your own. But Leo sits in your 11th House, and it shows you the power of community and support. You need to unburden yourself from the constant need to prove your worth. Now, you must receive from others. Maybe the people who show up for you bring you the validation you have been seeking.

Luckily, Mars and Neptune are well aspected to this eclipse. It can ease a little tension. You are focusing on the changes you have made to your routines and daily life. Mars, the leader of this eclipse, is motivating you to take control of your health and well-being. Perhaps there are necessary mundane tasks that have been piling up that you need to address. Whatever it is, you will do it with great energy. Work-related matters will come up, too. Mars is definitely ensuring that you are working your way into being noticed. Something is coming to a close around a project. Mercury retrogrades in your 9th House at this lunation. Take time to reflect on your growth and your visions for the future.

Jupiter recently entered your 7th House. Partnering and sharing are going to be at the forefront of the next few months. You will create, maintain, and find yourself in very important relationships — ones that bring growth and many opportunities. The steps you take to strengthen any relationship in your life will be met with reward.

Use this eclipse to reflect on your values, morals, and beliefs. Also, take stock in what you own and your financial picture. See what could use changing, re-budgeting, or refocusing. You will be making major changes to how you handle personal and shared resources in the near future.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

1st House | Space

You are in the spotlight in a way that you have not been in a long time. This upcoming Full Moon is an eclipse, and that changes the way the energy is conducted. Eclipses are full of evolution and shake-ups, but they come with resolve and definitive answers in the end. So, what may feel like chaos is temporary. In all reality, the eclipse ends up being a guiding light. With this one being a Full Moon eclipse, there will likely be a bright light shining on something in your life that may need changing, reflecting, or refocusing. This will continue an 18-month journey for you –– where you focus on your boundaries, autonomy, and possibly even relationships.

Your 1st House is fully lit up at this lunation, which rules the self, the identity, and motivations. Here, you will be staring at who you are, what you want, and what drives you. This isn’t always easy, especially if you have been in a complacent or stagnant phase. You may have to find peace in discomfort as you know that things around you are changing, and you will be asked to step out of your cocoon –– to transform yourself and the world around you. The spotlight from this lunation will have you questioning yourself, your boundaries, your goals, and really anything that is personal to you. This could bleed into your relationships, because as you change, so will they. Pluto will be at a good angle for this eclipse, which is helpful. Pluto has been sitting in your 3rd House showing you different perspectives, and seeing the world in a new way.

Saturn throws a bit of a wrench into things, however. It forms a T-Square to the Moon and Sun, causing some tension from your 4th House. It seems that issues with family, home-related matter, emotional foundations, and the past are biting a bit more deeply now. Maybe there are unresolved conflicts that need to be addressed. Saturn asks that we handle matters with maturity and focus. This is not a time to sweep things under the rug. Instead, you are invited to take the lead. Leo is the outlet for this energy, which sits at the top of your chart. Thus, you have to be willing to put yourself out there a bit to find clarity and resolution. Work may also provide a bit of a reprieve at this time.

Now, Mars and Neptune are well-aligned at this lunation. They sit together in your 5th House, highlighting areas of joy and pleasure. Mars leads this eclipse and tells you to focus more on what makes you happy. It invites you to find creative solutions. You could have some good news around something you are trying to conceive (whether it be a project, child, romance, etc). Maybe it is time to take some old ideas off the back burner — especially as Mercury retrogrades at this eclipse. You are invited to comb through the past and find inspiration again.

Jupiter has recently moved into your 6th House. This will bring a world of growth in your work, routines, and daily life. You could find that over the next 6 months you are much busier than normal. Alternatively, you could be quite motivated to tackle health-related matters and make necessary changes to better care for your body, mental health, and emotional health!

Use this eclipse to work on yourself and focus on your needs. See what needs to be adjusted or refined. Where could you benefit from being more gentle with yourself? Where could you be more disciplined? How can you see yourself more clearly? You can make great strides in standing out and allowing yourself to be seen and heard. You are on a path toward really making shifts in your identity and overall life.

SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

12th House | Limitless

We are now submerged into eclipse season, and with this comes a full wave of activity. However, for you – things are a bit different. You are craving peace, serenity, and solitude. Eclipses can note an ending of sorts, and this couldn’t be more true as this one falls in your 12th House. However, not all endings are bad. Given the power of an eclipse, it may not be comfortable, but it will be for the best. This is the continuation of a new ecliptic cycle. You will have to reckon with your life in its intricacies, routines, grand visions, and the ways in which you might escape. Care and service will be top of mind.

Service is a word you may not actively think about, but it is one that holds value. Service is not always to another person––it can be to yourself, your body, your heart, mind, or soul. You need not always sacrifice to care for yourself. This eclipse will highlight where you could use more balance, rest, and realignment.

Of course, that may come with something being let go or being tied up, but that leaves more room for you. If you have been on a one-way train to burnout, it is time to slow that train and take active steps toward recovery. The eclipse falling in your 12th House will have you asking yourself the bigger questions in life, which could include how you find respite, faith, and how you engage in any sort of spirituality. This is a House of healing and suffering — perhaps it is time to end the things that bring you suffering, grief or pain. Make room in the waters for you to swim more freely.

Pluto aids this Full Moon so it seems you have been gradually considering who can help you and what needs to be addressed. This eclipse is all about closure for you.

Saturn squares this eclipse tightly from your 3rd House. There may be a bit of restraint, uncertainty, or anxiety swirling in your head. It may be that your words are holding more weight, or perhaps you are not being heard at all. Saturn creates tension and asks that we approach issues with maturity and focus. You will have to have difficult conversations now or have to deal with disappointment. Leo provides an outlet for this energy, so look to see where Leo sits in your chart. This may bring you to find ways of growth, expansion, and reconsidering a perspective. Other’s perceptions don’t define your value. It may be time to re-examine who you are listening to and rediscover an innate truth. This is even more important as Mercury retrogrades in your 7th House at this eclipse. Old relationships and people will find their way back into your life. Know that you don’t have to receive them.

Mars and Neptune are well aligned to this lunation. They sit in your 4th house, inviting you to take time to rest and slow down. Perhaps you have been on the go in some way. Mars leads this eclipse, and it helps to bring the motivation to you when you focus your energy back home. Avoid burnout by taking those moments of respite where you can. Family can be extremely helpful right now (consider that this can also be chosen family).

Jupiter has recently entered fellow Fire sign, Aries. This adds a dash of excitement and adventure in your 5th House. Over the next 5 months, you could find a renewed sense of energy in your creativity, love, happiness, and pleasure. Additionally, this transit is amazing for conception. Consider that Jupiter in the 5th House invites you to take a bit of a risk on yourself, perhaps even changing how you may express your identity.

Use this Full Moon to focus on the places that you escape or choose to ignore. See what needs to come to a close and what needs to be expanded. Make peace in the quiet. Find power in resolution. Explore new areas of faith, belief, and spirituality — but also be ok with not knowing or having answers. You are on the precipice of closing a chapter and starting a whole new one. What is needed to fully walk through that door?

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

11th House | Collaboration

The future can feel so far away, but we forget that it is unfolding even in this present moment. In simple terms, the future is now. And this feeling couldn’t be captured more perfectly than with this eclipse on the 16th of May. This will start a new cycle for you where you are looking at taking more risks and seeking more attention –– but also balancing this with how it all works with your visions and goals. You will be finding your space in a community. There is a desire to create but also to ensure that the output or outcome not only benefits you, but everyone around you. Some things will have to change in order to make this happen, and part of that may be a readjustment of your plans or goals.

This eclipse will shine a light on your 11th House, where you are reflecting on your friendships, network, hopes, and goals. Because it is a Full Moon eclipse, something may be eclipsed out of your life or needs to be refined. You may have to come to terms with a friendship or community that needs to be addressed. Perhaps you are ready to approach the relationship differently or welcome the possibility of growth with the friend or group. Maybe there is a call to reflect in order to see things more clearly around the situation, especially with Mercury retrograde at this time. Alternatively, you may be changing and shifting your outlook on your future self — learning how to better seek support to make dreams a reality. You asking for help or leaning on others doesn’t make you weak. It is a reminder that you can be filled and nourished by others, as much you may nourish them.

Saturn, your ruler, is creating some tension at this eclipse. It is sitting in your 2nd House, so perhaps resources are a bit tight right now. Maybe an expense may come up. Alternatively, you could be battling your own self-doubt around your value or worthiness. This is where community can come in to help! You don’t need to be your own advocate all the time. Interestingly, Leo is the outlet for this eclipse since Saturn creates a T-Square with the Sun and Moon. Look to see where Leo falls in your chart for more clarity. It could require you to do a bit more shadow work or coming to terms with your personal fears. On the other side of this season comes some of the answers you seek.

Luckily, Mars and Neptune are very helpful at this lunation. They gift you the power of words and the ability to say exactly what you need. Perfectly timed since Mercury is retrograde. Mars leads this lunation and reminds you that your ideas are good and whatever you have on your mind needs to be shared. Information could come to you suddenly around this eclipse – listen and digest first before acting.

Jupiter will now move through your 4th House. It recently entered Aries last week, and it will be growing your sense of stability and emotional foundations. It welcomes more chances to embrace adventure on the Homefront, whether through renovation, reconnection, or ancestral work. Jupiter may have you dreaming about what your sanctuary and home truly may be. Over the next 5 months, home-related matters will be auspicious for you.

Use this Full Moon to reflect on your goals and future visions. See where you are and ask for support where it matters. Don’t allow yourself to fall victim to pleasing people. Learn to find the community and friendships that are worthy. Invest in the relationships that challenge you to grow. Your hopes and dreams can become a reality when you genuinely ask for help. You are finding your strength again.

10th House | Pinnacle

We know change is inevitable. It comes with sweeping gestures that push us in one direction or another. To see the power in change as a potential new beginning shifts our mindset. Eclipses are known to bring swift and chaotic energy that blossoms into a fresh start. Sometimes, this happens within the 18-month cycle––sometimes it happens during a 4-week period. Either way, we know that things are about to gain momentum, especially as this Full Moon eclipse begins to culminate.

The eclipse falls in your 10th House. A position that sits at the top of your chart. The Moon will be beaming a light here, having you focus your attention on your career, life direction, and practical goals. You know that you want to do something different in this area of your life. Is it a new job? A promotion? A complete 180º? Whatever it is, the eclipse will bring it to the forefront of your mind. Some of you may move up, while some may quit or lose a job. Others may feel a general pressure at work, and it can be the catalyst for something new coming later on. It is hard to say how it will all shake-up, but new pathways will soon begin to show up for you. Over the next few months, any changes at work will feel monumental. Thus, its gravity can be heavy — but once it finally reaches a head, it will alleviate all of that compounding pressure.

Saturn, your traditional ruler, is causing tension at this eclipse. It brings up old, outdated wounds you may carry in your identity. Maybe someone is disrespecting your boundaries, or perhaps you personally feel low energy at this time. Saturn invites you to take time to reflect on your motivations and your desires to ensure that you can engage in them for the long-term. With it creating a T-Square to the Moon and Sun at this lunation, Leo is the outlet. Look at where Leo falls in your chart for more clarity. Maybe you need to reach out to a close relationship or rely on a partner a bit more right now. You could also not be seeing something as clearly as you need to. With Mercury Rx at this eclipse, you may need to recommit to yourself or someone else and consider where you feel the most stuck in your life.

Luckily, Mars and Neptune are both very helpful at this eclipse. They work from your 2nd House to give a boost of motivation to your resources. Mars leads this lunation, and it finds that you could be bringing in a new job, form of work, new resources, or even feel empowered to tackle that imposter syndrome. You may need to be a bit creative right now about what resources you have or own, but know that an opportunity will be opening up for you soon.

Additionally, Jupiter has recently entered Aries in your 3rd House. This brings a sense of growth in the local community. It seems that your voice, your ideas, and your sense of communication are all about to expand. Jupiter is the giver of gifts, and as it travels through your 3rd House, you may find that you gifted chances to connect. Alternatively, it may make you a bit busier than normal over the next 5 months.

As there is so much happening around this Full Moon eclipse, use this time to truly reflect on where you are. Are you happy at work? What needs changing? Are you doing what makes you happy? Take steps to get what you want out of your life. Redirect your path. Ask for the promotion. Find new employment. Witness the dynamics at work and then assess your next moves. You are beginning a new cycle where your career and home will be the two areas of your life that will change the most. It is time to lean in and go after what you want.

9th House | Extension

This is not a time to compromise what makes you feel alive. You have worked hard to give yourself more freedom. As we continue through the next few months, we find ourselves in a cycle that asks us to reach farther than we ever have before. This will require you to rewrite the narratives you had once written in your head. The perception of what is possible may be limited by what you are seeing, and not fully enveloped in what you are believing.

Eclipses shed light on what needs to be addressed or changed in our lives. As this eclipse is the continuation of the Taurus/Scorpio cycle, there will be changes in how you see the world around you. Your 9th House is being impacted here, and for the first time in a long time, you are willing and able to see the obstacles standing in the way of your growth. In so many ways, this is the beginning of a new adventure for you. One where you are asked to take a leap of faith and trust yourself along the way. You could explore new ways to expand your horizons, whether that be travel, education, spirituality or even through experiences. It can feel like a trust fall into the universe. The big picture perspective will be important, as you can reframe fear into motivation.

Pluto is really a powerhouse at this eclipse, helping to amplify your voice to a crowd. You are in a highly visible position, which is not always natural for you. Pluto is bringing a wave of support around you. Pluto has been teaching you which friends to trust. So if you are feeling overwhelmed, reach out to someone. Pluto has also been helping you reshape your future, and part of this comes from what is happening in the current moment. Your perception of tomorrow is changing as every second passes.

Now, Saturn does create some tension at this time. It is sitting in your 12th House, so you seem to have trouble closing a door. Saturn invites you to find the power within yourself to let something go, even if it feels impossible. Closure brings clarity and space for new opportunities. Saturn creates a T-Square to the Sun and Moon, and this can make you question your own intuition and feelings. Are you right? Now is the time to discern between intuition and anxiety/fear, especially as Mercury is retrograde. Wherever Leo falls in your chart is the outlet to this T-Square, so you could be asking yourself to reprioritize your needs. There is a call to ground yourself a bit and anchor yourself in your routines – maybe changing some around to make them more pleasurable or aligned with what fuels you.

Luckily, Mars and Neptune in your sign are both very well-aspected to this eclipse. They are granting you opportunities to see through the fog and maintain a broader perspective. Mars leads this lunation and motivates you to act on what you know you need. It helps to promote more autonomy and independence, especially as it adds fire to drive you forward to what you know is best for you. Mars is a destroyer and builder — similar to Saturn, it may be time to let something go.

Additionally, Jupiter has just entered Aries and has left your sign temporarily. For the next 5 months, you will see significant changes and growth in your personal resources. You can increase how and where you feel more secure in your life and welcome opportunities of personal abundance, even outside of materiality. Jupiter is the giver of gifts, so it is time to receive!

Use this Full Moon to assess the big picture. Where could you use more adventure in your life? You could feel a push and pull of acting immediately –– give things some time to settle. You will see that you are on the brink of a new journey, one that allows you to take the lead. You can explore new perspectives, educate yourself and seek out more spontaneous experiences. Nothing is perfect, but you can enjoy every moment that is set out before you. No time is wasted when you truly are living.

Eclipse Note

This eclipse pulls us into the underworld and forces us to reckon with the past. Mercury is retrograde at the time of this eclipse, having it reconnect dots from the last eclipse season in November and December of 2021 and the previous retrograde of this year (January 14 to February 3rd). It carefully brings up unresolved matters that sit like a weight on our chests. As we dive deep into our own humanities, the eclipse shows us how to move forward — and yet it doesn’t feel so easy. Saturn’s square can make this time heavy and complicated. Give it time, space, and let things flow before acting. Once Mercury stations direct in early June, clarity will come.
