LUNAR ECLIPSE MAY 5, 2023

On May 5, 2023 we will experience the effects of a Lunar Eclipse at 14° Scorpio. Transiting Uranus is in opposition to the Moon at 18° Taurus. If you have planets or significant angles within three degrees of this placement either by conjunction or opposition then this Eclipse will influence you. Much depends on the houses involved and other factors in the natal chart.

With Moon in Scorpio there can be very powerful effects on sexual indicators in your chart and what surfaces at this time will bring about change and development which is now required. This can be a romantic relationship that no longer suits your evolution or a relationship that now goes to the next level. You will have to be careful of manipulation either directed towards you or coming from you. This is a very alluring time and seductive energies can be strong.

Scorpio tends to bring things to the surface and with Uranus in opposition this can take place in a sudden or unexpected manner being somewhat out of your hands and often initiated by outside forces. The transformation that takes place can be profound but the forces which may seem beyond your control are aiding and pointing you in a new direction far more suitable at this time.

This can be a time of reflection and in many cases the Eclipses often indicate letting go and starting over. Let go of emotional baggage that no longer suits your evolution. Move either into a new situation or make changes so that “the new” finds its way to you. Part of the evolutionary plan is to promote healing where needed, instigate new avenues of expression and being in a place where the door is open for further growth, although the transformation and eventual change may not be an easy one.

The effect of this Eclipse is often strong during the first month and is often in effect for up to 3 to 4 months. Use this time wisely and do not fear what is unfolding. Sometimes we can’t see the trees for the forest and bringing what needs to surface out of hiding can in turn create a required change.

REASONING AND FOLLOW THROUGH

Fortunately for most of us our reasoning abilities are strong and reliable although we may have restraints and reservations whether to follow through on some issues. We make decisions in the present moment yet fortunately or unfortunately the past influences this process.

The mind can interfere creating fear and anxiety based on past experiences, on “what ifs” or on something that may not be logical. We can follow along blindly reacting to what the mind dictates or sift through information to make decisions. The final decision always lies in your hands. Be practical and realistic in our approach but go with your gut. Often we can stop ourselves short because of worries and halt advancement because we listen to the reactive chatter.

Sometimes other people’s input influences our decisions and again this can be detrimental or advantageous.

Stagnation is often what transpires because of fear or insecurity. We cannot let fear stand in the way unless protection from something specific and real is required.

Listen to the nonsensical chatter from your mind so that you can recognize it. As we become acquainted with our mind and its interaction, we become better at recognizing when what is being transferred is accurate or fear based. We can become masters of recognizing the mind’s interference.

Believe in yourselves. Trust your instinct and reasoning abilities. Do not allow fear or panic to breach your decision making. You’ve got this, trust!

T SATURN IN OPPOSITION TO N MERCURY

As Saturn transits through our natal chart, it will eventually reach opposition to our natal Mercury. Saturn takes about 2 ½ years to move from one sign to the next sign and 29 years to make a full cycle returning to its original placement when we were born. Mercury is a neutral planet; it needs something to activate its energies. Transits and Progressions will act as a trigger.

The energies of the opposition between Saturn and Mercury will largely depend on the state of Mercury in your natal chart as well as the placement of natal Saturn. If Mercury is poorly placed, the opposition will be more challenging than if it were placed more comfortably with favourable aspects.

Mercury is the planet of the mind and has to do with our communication techniques, ability to formulate ideas and create concrete action based on our thought process. It also has to do with our speech and rationalization and can also speak of our reaction to life’s events.

Saturn has to do with the building process when linked with Mercury and how we view our objectives and what we might think our processing might reveal. Saturn often indicates hard work and disciplined effort. We must work towards finalizing our ideas when we are dealing with Saturn and Mercury. Saturn can make us worry about outcomes, fear mistakes or making the wrong decisions and usually requires some degree of concentration and deliberation before we move ahead. This can be a good thing or a difficult situation depending on how deep this thought process runs. The houses involved will define the areas of life involved.

Saturn can also produce concrete results with viable solutions and can build slowly towards solutions built to last. Oppositions are considered challenging aspects and often includes other people. People may be opposed to your decisions or think that you might be making the wrong choices moving ahead. There may be some obstacles in the way and it may take longer to achieve what you are setting out to do because of others’ influences or because of the slow moving progress which is often indicated by Saturn’s influence.

Your goal should be to clear your mind of obstacles/influences that hinder your decision making and also to listen to what others might have to say. After careful consideration push yourself forward towards your objectives ensuring it is the right way to go.
