Working with the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio

This upcoming lunar eclipse on the full moon will be taking place on 15 or 16 May depending on when you live (it will be on the 16 May here in Australia), and will be in the astrological sign of Scorpio.

Full moons offer us the opportunity to let go of things that we are holding on to that no longer serve us, so during this full moon focus on letting go of fears, obsession, control, early psychological trauma etc.

Under the Scorpio full moon, emotions can run deep and surprise with their intensity. It emits alchemical energies that can help us transform our buried fears into pure power. First however we may need to plunge into the shadows and excavate the source of our pain in order for us to release it.

We are spiritual beings and if we want to truly improve our lives and be more in alignment with our soul’s path, we need to stop our toxic spiritual practices – starting with suppressing our alleged “negative” feelings and emotions as this is not good for anyone. We are human and being human means that we will come across instances and people who simply irritate us (to say the least) for various reasons. And that is perfectly fine. The universe is made up of polarities after all. To believe that we need to be all “love and light” is delusional to say the very least.

With an eclipse added to the mix, details may come to light that we may not be consciously aware of, such as secrets, hidden agendas or even scandalous activity. Remember that Scorpio has the “phoenix rising from the ashes” ability when you are letting things go.



Be cautious of emotional resentments, as this is a time where past feelings can surface and block your very heightened creative energy, so fight the urges to be suspicious, secretive, and moody. This is a time of regeneration and cleaning out of emotional debris from the previous month. There is great energy to complete things and focus on certain areas that you have found yourself too scattered to deal with the previous cycle. Take the time now for sexual exploration, as well as relaxation.
