LUNAR ECLIPSE IN SCORPIO
We'll be experiencing the Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio @ 25 degrees on the 16th of May 2022.
This energy will be most potent at the time of this Eclipse (04:12 BST) and over the following fortnight.
The Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio carries the potential to activate the shadow aspects of ourselves and others that we often disassociate from or dismiss. Scorpio represents transformation, truth, fear, intensity and desire - bringing all these themes to the collective forefront.
In order to successfully move through our emotions, it is imperative to acknowledge and embrace the full spectrum of our quips and complexities. Our willingness to accept, transform and surrender will provide us the key to our destiny.
It is time to trust that we are our own inner locksmith. Only we hold the keys to the answers we wish to seek.
These keys are kept in a place of remembrance, deep within us. It is time to unlock the doors of destiny.
By looking into your personal house and planetary placements around Taurus, Pisces, Scorpio and Capricorn, we can gain deeper insight and context towards setting intentions moving forward.

This Total Lunar Eclipse has a harsh square aspect between Saturn, the Sun, Moon and Lunar Nodes, which can create a somewhat challenging disposition when it comes to liberating ourselves from the shackles of our past.
We will clearly be shown areas of resistance, limitation and the changes we need to create for ourselves moving forward.
This celestial configuration will also continue to beg those big questions. Encouraging us to weigh up the difference between our wants versus our needs, our essence can be placed upon the karmic scales of Saturn and the Lunar Nodes.
To say this time will bring a level of intensity is an understatement, especially with Mercury recently stationing retrograde in Gemini, where it will eventually move back into Taurus in early June.
Though we may feel a sense of impending doom, this energy presents us with an expansive opportunity for both collective and individual growth. Through the process of reflection and surrender, we can weather existential storms by transmuting any habits, tendencies or dynamics that no longer support our core values and livelihood.
This Lunar Eclipse will be in opposition to Mercury Retrograde in Gemini which can bring an element of confused or polarised thinking and communication styles, especially related to our emotions. Retrogrades are always an invitation for reflection, revisitations and reviews, so by allocating some time to process our emotions without judgement is a trusted remedy.
This can come in the form of journalling or communicating with trusted friends, mentors or therapists as a sound board to our inner understanding. It would be wise to accommodate extra time, attention and care when discussing or exploring sensitive topics or making any important decisions.
Pluto is the main influence and ruler of this Lunar Eclipse. Pluto’s influence can unearth deeply rooted dynamics, creating a portal for deep transformation providing lasting change. Pluto is the planet of death, rebirth, the subconscious and power. How we utilise the concept of power will be revealed to us. This can include any behaviours or traits we hold that empower or disempower ourselves and others.
This Eclipse is sextile to Pluto which will support the processes of transformation and regeneration through the power of our intuition as well as journeying the depths of our subconscious undercurrents.
Pluto is also aspecting the Sun and Mercury Retrograde which further emphasises the energy of deeply intense experiences.
This can provide us with greater influence over the events and people we are involved with, so to move forward with intuition, discernment and the mindset of decluttering will prove to be powerful tools moving forward.
Pluto can also bring an energy of obsession, combined with Mercury Retrograde in Gemini, we will want to be mindful of any rumination or overthinking. It is important to remind ourselves to observe any thoughts, insights or feelings with compassion and deep acknowledgement.
Neptune, Mars and Jupiter’s conjunction in Pisces is trine to this Lunar Eclipse which can amp up our sensitivities, hyper-idealism and levels of paranoia. This is a deeply spiritual and subconscious aspect which can bring an air of magnetism, magic and charisma to our endeavours.
How these traits manifest themselves in our individual realities will vary depending on our perspectives. It would be wise to ground our energies through the channel of compassion for ourselves and others. We’ll be treading fine lines, as this energy can also create dynamics of idealisation, deception and potential to be be taken advantage of.
By tuning into ourselves, we can place appropriate boundaries where applicable. This is a time to stand up for ourselves and others through advocating our core values compassionately.
Pluto is also in a sextile aspect to the Mars and Neptune conjunction in Pisces, as well as Jupiter in Aries. Though this time may feel tricky and challenging, Jupiter’s influence can provide us with successful positive change through natural inclinations to promote our personal and spiritual growth. Any investments we have made can undergo a type of growth spurt, depending on where this aspect falls into our individual charts.
The Mars and Neptune conjunction in Pisces will also be sextile to the Sun and North Node in Taurus. This aspect further supports our individual and collective journey towards our growth, values and striving to keep building the secure foundations of our livelihood.
I pulled some cards and created some additional journal prompts to further contemplate navigating these energies, so you can check that out below or book a bespoke reading with me here.
