Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio May 5th 2023

An unsettling time during spring break. The fifth of April we have the last lunar eclipse in Scorpio. It is at 14 degrees. The eclipse energies can be felt a few days before in the waxing gibbous fase.

This lunar southnode eclipse is in the middle of a Mercury retrograde which brings unclarity and miscommunications. More on that later.

Foremost an emotional time when things come to light that need to be acknowledged so they can be healed. Scorpio energy brings things to the surface to be purified. It does not feel comfortable. The southnode implies a death of some kind. It can be a situation, a way of being, a person or relationship. A fase that lasts about 6 months.

You might feel a difference in your health. Wh8ch i feel to be true for all Scorpio full moons. Perhaps your body will ask for more water and less food. A perfect cleansing time. Follow your intuition. For me it means less coffee and more water for example. Also a good time to go swimming or connect with water consciously.

Scorpio energy is a lot about dependencies. Values of others, material of others,taxes, loans and morgages. Empowerment and disempowerment. Check your natal chart to see where Scorpio is in your natal chart. What do you need to let go of? Or focus less on? How can you empower yourself?

A few examples on how these energies can play out.

A Scorpio ascendant person will for example need to focus less on seclusion, being in emotions, overly controlling or observing. He or she needs to shift the focus on the other. Step into connection with others and / or coöperation with others. As well as being more outside in nature. Connect with the senses. Issues can come up with the body the coming time.

If you have Scorpio on the 3rd house of your astrology chart than you can expect to let go of unhealthy communication patterns. Perhaps you have a less honest and more dominant way of speach that needs to change. Perhaps there are dependencies on your direct neighbours or close family members. You will experience some difficulties in these areas the coming 6 months. Absorb less of your direct environment because it could be toxic.

Me and my son have a 12th house Scorpio which rules confinement and seclusion. Since saturday afternoon I am with my son in and out the hospital in waiting rooms with only water and a tv with cartoons to watch. Complete surrender to the system. Can we go now? No madam we have a protocol to follow….

These are just some examples on how this eclipse can turn out.

Whatever is happening in your (inner) world you can observe and breath through it. Important to acknowledge and feel your emotions they are all valid. Say to yourself this is challenging but keep calm. This too will pass.
