Scorpio Lunar Eclipse Miniscopes

Eclipse Miniscopes
A Phoenix Rising.
The Lunar Eclipse is in Scorpio 14º on May 5th at 1:34 PM ET. 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 Lunar Eclipse. 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.
We reflect the dichotomy of our 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 Lunar Eclipse, someone or something may be eclipsed out of our lives.
Uranus will be in a hard angle to this Eclipse, pushing us to seek liberation and change from the inside out. It will be coaxing the Scorpion from its lair and forcing up its defenses. Luckily, Mars, the leader of this Full Moon, will be supportive. It will be in compassionate Cancer. 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 by 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 right 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 a perfecting square to Jupiter, reminding 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 9º to 19º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and 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 end of a cycle – one that has focused on Taurus/Scorpio and will finish out this year. This is the final Scorpio Lunar Eclipse of the said series, 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. In some ways, this eclipse will feel like a re-emergence — a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with shadows that have sat beneath the surface. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
Uranus opposes the lunation, throwing thunderbolts of electricity from your 2nd House. You could be facing self-confidence or self-worth issues. Maybe this creates doubt in how you expend your energy. Alternatively, you could be battling something financial around this Full Moon that is making it harder to keep your cool. There could be an unexpected bill, or maybe a dream/idea comes at a cost. Uranus is a wildcard, and it is hard to see how it may play out. Expected the unexpected.
Luckily, Venus will bring a softer edge to this eclipse as it reaches out to Jupiter. Its influence is one that allows for reception and attraction. Venus will ease the tensions that the eclipse may bring overall. A place of power and peace can come from you being more open and willing to cultivate important dialogue with those around you.
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. The 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.
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. This ecliptic cycle is coming to a close. 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. Soon we will see them finish in your sign and your polarity. 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.
There may be hiccups as Uranus sits in opposition. Uranus is sitting in your 1st House, creating waves for the last few years. You have been finding new ways to change how you approach your identity and motivations. This is about freeing yourself from past versions of yourself. Because of the tension between the Full Moon and Uranus, one of the freedoms must be around external validation and worries about perception. Uranus will create surprises, so watch people’s behavior. Don’t try to control what or who you can’t. We just have to go with the flow with this Full Moon.
On a positive note, Venus will make things easier in this eclipse. It reaches out to Jupiter. There can be a desire to focus more on standing strong in your values and worth. Be proud of the person you are becoming. Venus is your ruler, and you will feel its impact more than most.
Now, Mars and Neptune are very helpful at this lunation. They work well from your social houses. 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 and communication. 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.
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 finish at the end of the year. This series will highlight some of the changes you have already been making since November 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.
Perhaps you have been overthinking things lately or just not focusing – thus scattering your energy into too many things. The Full Moon is opposed to Uranus, creating tension. Uranus sits in your 12th House. You are trying to talk things out, but you aren’t being heard. The 12th House rules all that’s hidden: secrets, dreams, subconscious energy, and even endings. Emotions will run high at this Full Moon, but know with Uranus in the 12th House like this, it will bring an ending. Maybe it is time to finally let go of something or someone in your life. Uranus wants you to trust your intuition more than anything.
Venus will make things easier in this eclipse, however. It reaches out to Jupiter. It smooths over anything that may come up. There is a sense that valuing yourself, your desires, and your needs should take precedence. Jupiter shows a support system as you show up more authentically.
Mars and Neptune work well this eclipse from your 2nd and 10th Houses. 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 Cancer. You could find out some really good financial news in the weeks following this eclipse. Alternatively, you could see yourself rethinking how to spend your time and resources. This may require some self-reflection and re-imagining of what those resources even means to you.
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.
Cancer & cancer Rising
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.
Uranus is creating activity and little tension from your 11th House. It seems that a friend, relationship, or dream is being questioned. They could be depleting your resources (emotional and financial), as well as having you think about the longevity of it all. If it is a dream, maybe you are trying to figure out how to fund it. Well, with Uranus — inspiration can come! If it is a friend or relationship, Uranus is much more unpredictable. It is hard to figure out the outcome, but know you must have open and honest communication. The 11th House, where Uranus is, rules the future. So, your future is coming into focus and something needs to be addressed that impacts that. It will take some tact and maybe overcoming the fears you hold to help you see things through. At times, all we need is a little trust fall.
Venus will add ease to this lunation. It reaches out to Jupiter. Venus will look for softness and serenity now as it sits in your 12th House. You could be doing something behind the scenes that you are proud of, but may not be able to share just yet. This positive reception to Jupiter in the 10th says that whatever it is will be very beneficial to your career, life direction, and/or personal legacy.
Mars and Neptune are also quite helpful at this eclipse, luckily. They bring harmonious energy to the Moon from your 1st and 9th Houses. There is a possibility of you needing to take a risk, or feeling motivated to leave an unhealthy dynamic. Mars leads this Full Moon and tells you to seek adventure — acting from a place of personal desire. 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.
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 the Taurus/Scorpio ecliptic cycle and one that we will finish up by the end of this year. Family, home, sanctuary, space, and your emotional past will come into play during this time.
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.
Uranus creates electricity from your 10th House. There is something going on at work. There could be a restructure, a surprise, or a change in your career, office, work — or even in your own life direction! You may be questioning your vocation or might need to reframe your perspective to align with where you want to be. This could encompass working for yourself, changes to your personal life, or even a promotion. But whatever it is, Uranus is definitely bringing a call for attention — and possibly action. Know if something comes to an end, there will be something new that comes just as quickly. Uranus is the liberator, so you could be freeing yourself from the confines of your work and moving into a new field entirely (whether by your own accord or not). But it is unpredictable, so we have to roll with the punches with Uranus.
Venus will add ease to this lunation. It sextiles Jupiter in a harmonious aspect. You are valuing your community more. Your willingness to explore, travel, and seek is only met with the joy you find in those who share this same sentiment. Moments of pleasure unfold when you surround yourself with people who truly see you for who you are.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also very helpful at this eclipse. They sit in your 12th and 8th Houses, 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 feel like you need to slow down, sewing things up behind the scenes. Mercury retrogrades in your 10th at this eclipse, so this would be a powerful time to reconnect with people from your work’s past. There may be good opportunities for you there.
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, and 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.
Uranus is sitting in your 9th House opposing this eclipse, so you could be questioning your next leap in life — your next steps. Your goals and future are being reflected upon. Perhaps you are trying to find new ways to grow and this requires a shift in perspective. Morality and education will come up here. You will have to take a stance on something you believe in and not be afraid to share this viewpoint with others…even if it upsets them. You may also be facing a crisis of consciousness, trying to learn to have faith, even when you may doubt yourself.
Venus will add ease to this lunation. It reaches out to Jupiter. Here it gives you a good amount of visibility and positive validation on the work front. You are being seen right now. With Jupiter’s help, you may receive an attractive offer or an opportunity could come up, as well.
Mars and Neptune are also very helpful at this lunation, luckily. They are showing you a level of support that is unmatched from your 11th and 7th Houses. A partner, close friend, or relationship in your life is giving you some much-needed peace and clarity. Mars leads this lunation, so there could be some positive influences from your inner circle or friend group. Perhaps someone in your life will come in and support you, taking the lead without a 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 help — people will show up in droves.
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 Taurus/Scorpio 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 of the world and everything around us. You alternatively could have changes to your income and 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.
Uranus is in your 8th House of intimacy, shared resources, and healing — opposing this lunation. There needs to be a bit of a death…metaphorically of course. An outdated idea or mentality has to go so that you can actually achieve a dream. This also requires that you get intimate with yourself and others. Are you sharing the deepest parts of yourself? Do people know what is really going on behind the scenes? You can’t hide forever, and Uranus will have you feeling electric as you are itching to break out of your own skin. You have to be willing to confront your shadows or your demons. Seeking counsel will be important— even if it is just from a friend. You have to get out of your own way.
Alternatively, Venus, your ruler, will create a smoothness to this eclipse. It is in a beautiful aspect to Jupiter. Here it gives you a chance to believe in yourself. It reminds you of the power of your aspirations and your inherent wisdom. Jupiter in your 7th also brings a partner or person into your life to support your dream or vision.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also well aspected to this eclipse. It can ease tension even more. 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 image, legacy, and career. Perhaps there are necessary conflicts that need to be addressed. Whatever it is, you will do it with great energy. As work-related matters come up, don’t turn a blind eye. Mars is definitely ensuring that you are working your way into being noticed. Something is coming to a close, but a new beginning is right around the corner. As Mercury retrogrades, take time to reflect on how far you’ve come and your visions for the future.
Use this eclipse to reflect on your values, morals, and beliefs. Also, take stock of 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. Your efforts are not in vain.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
1st House | Space
You are in the spotlight now. 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 begin to bring closure to issues surrounding 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.
Uranus is the planet of surprise, with an unpredictable nature. It opposes the lunation from your 7th House. You may be shocked at what you discover around this Full Moon — particularly around your partnerships or closest one-on-one relationships. You may be ending a partnership (business or romantic) or be presented with something you had not considered before. Whatever it is, it doesn’t seem you were privy to the reaction or information. Of course, this could be a good surprise — as you never know with Uranus. Some of you may unexpectedly get a job offer, asked to be engaged, or take a relationship to the next level! With Uranus at play, it is best to not try to control the circumstances. This is a time to take a leap and see where it takes you, even if it shakes your sense of security. Keep in mind the 7th House, where Uranus is, rules all one-on-one relationships: business, familial, platonic, romantic, contractual, etc.
Venus is in your 8th House now, creating ease at this eclipse from a quieter place. It is sextile Jupiter in your House of health and daily affairs. Venus will have you mind the details of your life and your emotional well-being. Some of you may receive a bonus or commission at this time, while others can find joy in being more intimate with those you trust most.
Now, Mars and Neptune are also well-aligned at this lunation. They sit in your 9th and 5th Houses, highlighting areas of joy, pleasure, adventure, and growth. Mars leads this eclipse and tells you to focus more on the future. It invites you to find creative solutions and take a risk for yourself. You could have some good news in regard to an educational endeavor, publishing, writing, or traveling. Others of you could find some much-needed excitement in exploring new horizons and being part of something you are passionate about. Additionally, 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.
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 the Taurus/Scorpio 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.
Uranus is sitting in your 6th House, opposing this eclipse. Work or your daily life seems to be busier than ever, almost a little overwhelming. You have been running around with no clear direction. It is muddying what you hope for and causing you to not see the big picture…your goals. Uranus is creating changes with work, health, and routines. Some of these are outside your control. It could be feast or famine, or maybe you are just looking to free yourself from the norms you have always known. Uranus pushes you toward understanding that you can’t control the circumstances, but you can control the outcome. You need to reframe your security. If you are having health issues, take charge. Alternatively, if this is about lifestyle, then maybe you need to rethink how you go about your routines. Make health a priority so that you can live out your future goals.
Venus is creating ease at this eclipse, luckily. It touches on Jupiter in Aries. Venus asks you to be open with a partner or close relationship. One of the more positive notes how supportive and nourishing your relationships can be now, the more open you are. There is to expand places of creativity and joy. Do something sweet for yourself. Value your pleasure.
Mars and Neptune are well aligned to this lunation. They sit in your 4th and 8th houses, 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 motivation to you in terms of your healing. Avoid burnout by taking those moments of respite where you can. A theme of breaking cycles and knowing how to get off the merry-go-round is important. What you inherit isn’t always yours to keep. Sometimes we can alchemize that into something else, something useful and joyful.
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 5th of May. This will continue a cycle for you where you have been 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/reframed. You may have to come to terms with a friendship or community that needs to be addressed. Perhaps you are ready to approach these relationships differently or welcome the possibility of growth with a 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 as you may nourish them.
Uranus is making things a little unpredictable. There is a feeling of uncertainty around this Lunar Eclipse. Uranus sits in your 5th House of expression, creativity, love, and self-confidence. You could feel that your confidence is shaky or that you are not expressing how you feel correctly. Uranus is itching to help you break free from limitations and choose to take that plunge, that leap. You have to put yourself out there, even if it seems hard so that people can see the real you…all of you. You can’t hide anymore. The ways in which you have made yourself small are coming to a head. Positively, this can be a very inspiring creative time for you! So lean into this aspect.
Venus is smoothing any rough waters at this eclipse. It is in a positive relationship with Jupiter. Venus is reminding you to take things easy. It may help you find joy in your routines or the mundane things. With Jupiter’s relationship to Venus, this could also remind you of the power of family (chosen or given), and how they can be a point of growth and inspiration.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also 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 sharing with those close to you can be empowering. Some relationships will be motivating for you, especially those that are close like a partnership. Information could come to you suddenly around this eclipse, as well — listen and digest first before acting.
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.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
10th House | Pinnacle
This season will have you refining and reflecting. However, there will be moments of you working hard. This could not be more true than at this Lunar Eclipse. It will put you front and center as it sits at the top of your chart.
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.
Uranus is in your 4th House, opposing this lunation. So, it seems that you may feel pulled in two directions. You could have shifts coming at home that you were not privy to. There may be surprises that pop up, and in turn, this could place stress on you. This Full Moon makes alterations to how you view your family. Perhaps shifting your home/family itself (is there a new member coming, or is your family dynamic restructuring/changing?). You may feel the need to nest or ground yourself. This is a call to withdraw a bit. It is hard to tell what will happen, as Uranus is a planet of unpredictability. However, it is your co-ruler, so the outcome could be favorable for you. It helps you bring an end to something that may have been holding you back — or it could allow you to listen to your intuition more.
Venus is smoothing any rough waters at this eclipse. It is positively aspected to Jupiter. Venus welcomes creativity and moments of joy amid uncertainty. It will show up as an energetic boost. Jupiter will expand your ideas and help you see things differently as well, only fueling that creative energy more.
Luckily, Mars and Neptune are also both very helpful at this eclipse. They work from your 2nd and 6th Houses to give a gusto of motivation to your resources and daily life. Mars leads this lunation, and it finds that you could be bringing in a new job, a form of work, new resources, or even a new client. You may find that you are willing to tackle the details or small mundane tasks you may have put off. You are really finding a routine that can work for you.
As there is so much happening around this Lunar 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.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
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.
Uranus is in your 3rd House. So, it seems that you may get unexpected news that shakes you up a bit. There may be information that comes out that really changes your perspective. It may come from a friend, sibling, neighbor, or someone in your local community. Alternatively, you could find yourself in high demand or spreading yourself too thin. Be careful of biting off more than you can chew. Alternatively, you could get an unexpected offer for a job, client, or creative project! Uranus is unpredictable, so it is hard to know how it will manifest in your life completely. One of the best ways Uranus can manifest is through inspiring ideas in your 3rd House. Uranus may push you to be more vocal or share — perhaps in ways you had not considered before.
Venus is in a fellow Mutable sign, making the eclipse have a dash of softness. It is in a very good aspect to Jupiter. Venus reminds you to slow down and take it easy. It may ask that you prioritize your home, family, and sanctuary space. As it touches on Jupiter, there may be a positive financial outcome for you, as well.
Luckily, Mars in Cancer and Neptune in your sign are both very well-aspected for 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 your hunches and from a place of joy. 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.
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.
