There is a feeling of strong medicine in the Scorpio Full Moon on May 16th. This is a total lunar eclipse occurring on the night of May 15th into May 16th. A Scorpio full moon always brings up something we thought was long buried but needs to be exposed and with the eclipse energy this could be something pivotal in our growth. With a square to Saturn in Aquarius there is a possibility that we feel tested, perhaps in regard to the plans we have made for our future.
Whatever is revealed at this full moon contains healing energy with Venus conjunct to Chiron in Aries. Relationships, values, aesthetics and finances may undergo a transformation at this time. It may be like pouring alcohol on an infected wound in that it could sting but that’s how you know it’s working to clear out the poison. Next month Mars meets Chiron for the Sagittarius full moon which is like a follow up on this cathartic moment. The after math of the eclipse will play out over the next six months.
Speaking of Mars, he is conjunct Neptune during this lunation which could have him feeling less focused, more scattered and indirect. This is good for creative energy but less helpful when we want decisive action. The Moon is sextile to Pluto and the Sun is trine to Pluto, adding to the intrigue and sense of uncovering something from the depths.
The full moon occurs just after midnight, at 12:14 am EDT and the Moon is at 25 degrees Scorpio, the Sun at 25 Taurus. If you have points in your natal chart near this in any fixed, water or Earth signs you may feel it with more intensity than usual.
