Full Moon Eclipse May 5, 2023 in the Sensual Sign of Scorpio & Motivations for May
Eclipses are Potent Times
As an astrologer and empath, I feel added emotional intensity at eclipse season. At an eclipse, the Sun, Earth and the Moon are in direct alignment. Eclipses reveal the shadow. As symbol, we see something during an eclipse we don’t normally see. Eclipses may highlight the good, the bad and the ugly.
Since Moon represents emotion and the Sun is a symbol of energy, there is added fuel for emotional energy during eclipses. Eclipses provide challenges and opportunities to feel a full range of emotions.
Note: Mercury retrograde began April 21, 2023 near The Awakener, Uranus
There is extra energy this week between the eclipses. Mercury is retrograde April 19 til May 14, 2023. Mercury Retrograde started with unsettling Uranus in the steady sign of Taurus. Mercury represents the mind, while Uranus amps things up.
Mercury and Uranus are both planets of speed. Together in the same sign of Taurus, they have energy to get things going. New thoughts or ideas may come your way to get you motivated. The lunar eclipse May 5, 2023 plus this months Mercury Retrograde in the zodiac sign of Taurus is a symbol to slow down.
7 Tips for Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio with Sun in Taurus on May 5, 2023
Slow down. Surround yourself with your favorite comforts. Turn yourself on by enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
Self Care. Take care of your physical body. Taurus time is a reminder to be in touch with the physical world. Shine light on the physical senses: touch, taste, smell, listen, feel! Receive a massage.
Express yourself. Sing, laugh and shout! The Zodiac sign of Taurus relates to the throat and neck. Music can make over your mood, sing in the shower or blast the tunes in the car.
Remember your priorities. The planet ruler for Taurus is Venus, emphasizing what matters most. Appreciating the present moment, giving thanks for the here and now.
Stay steady. Emotions often run high during eclipse seasons. Sun and Moon in the Earth sign of Taurus serves as a reminder to remain grounded.
Be honest with yourself. Eclipses reveal whatever is behind the surface. Ask yourself if you have anything to hide. Be honest and get real.
Acknowledge emotions as it arises. Feelings are not good or bad, they just are. Like the Moon, emotions are an ebb and flow. Ride the wave, remember, emotions don’t stay.
