Are you ready for the magic of the May 5th Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse?
This is going to be a super intense and exciting event, probably the most exceptional cosmic happening in the month of May.
The Scorpio Lunar Eclipse arrives in our skies on May 5th, 2023 and it brings intense energies, karmic transformations, huge life transitions and so much more.
It is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, which is when the Full Moon enters the penumbra of the Earth. When this happens, the Earth blocks some of the Sun’s light from directly reaching the Moon’s surface and covers part of the Moon with some of its shadow.
It’s generally not as strong as a Total or Partial Lunar Eclipse, but this particular May event is going to intensify the Full Moon energies and bring deep insights and changes to us all.
There is an extra piece of magic about this eclipse because it falls on the 5th day of the 5th month at 14 degrees of Scorpio. (1 +4 = 5) making the energies of the number 5, particularly strong.
Uranus, the planet of innovation, freedom, awakening, and change is also very active under this eclipse. Uranus is a bit of a troublemaker in that it shakes things up, reveals what doesn’t work, and forces sudden and unexpected change.
As Lunar Eclipses are always usually symbolized by closure and endings these are likely a big part of the theme of this May 5th event.
It’s very likely that anything you need to let go of once and for all will be shown to you in an intense way during this time. Sometimes these are things that are simply in the way of our most aligned path.
Things that block us and hold us back – even if we cannot see it ourselves. That’s why the Lunar Eclipse serves as a great illuminator of what needs to be shown to us!
Full Moon Eclipses always have a big impact on us bringing situations to light that nudge (or in some cases forcefully push!) us to make important and life-altering changes.
You can think of the eclipse as a sort of giant prod from the Universe to move you faster along your very own evolutionary unfolding.
It’s said that the veil between worlds is always thinner during times of eclipses and other powerful cosmic events, and in that way, this eclipse acts kind of like a doorway between the material and the ethereal world.
Be prepared by taking an honest look at what might be likely to arise for you in your life to be looked at and then released
It’s also important to remember that the more surrendered you are to the Universe, the easier it will be for you to receive any messages coming your way about opportunities, new doorways, and invitations meant just for you.
Allow the light of this powerful eclipse to pierce through anything old and stagnant and allow it to transform your life.
You never need to be fearful about Eclipse energy and what it might bring, instead use it to help free you from whatever needs to be released in your life.
Think of any old ghosts from the past, behaviors, ways of thinking about yourself, limiting beliefs, pains, unhealthy relationship dynamics, lack of confidence in your talents and gifts, etc and just allow those things to be shown to you and then let go of and purged.
You can think of this period of time as a special window of opportunity to move on from the past and anything outdated in your life.
Release, let go, breathe a sigh of relief, and allow yourself to settle into a calm place of surrender and trust in the Divine Universe.
Do not cling to the old or try to micromanage anything that is being shown to you – remind yourself instead that even the hardest challenges are transformative and can bring you to a better, more aligned place in accordance with your highest good.
The most wonderful thing about being surrendered to the Universe is that you relinquish the need to control everything. In being open and willing to look at even the most difficult challenges and situations in your life, you invite positive change.
Your willingness to let go of the old is what brings in the new. It takes far more energy to try and control things than it does to let go – so choose the path of least resistance.
That is a wonderful affirmation to use during this Eclipse window:
I am releasing the old to make space for the new.
During this time be very conscious of any signs and messages coming to you during your dreams and waking life.
Look out for:
- Animal signs or totems
- Unusual events or conversations
- Chance meetings and synchronistic opportunities
- Nudges to change direction in life
- Truth surrounding situations you have been confused about
- New inspiration and creative ideas for business and projects
It’s a good idea to keep a notebook, especially for noting down things that seem to pop out to you like messages, signs, symbols, and nudges from the Universe.
That way you can easily review everything (even the strangest things that happen), and analyze what might be being shown to you personally during this time.
The most important thing to remember is to surrender to the Universe.
If you can trust in divine timing, and have the hope and positive faith that what is meant for you will make its way to you in due time – you will find life smoother and it will be much easier for you to go with the flow of whatever happens.
Allow what comes to come and what goes to go and in the midst of all of it remain calm, steadfast, and deeply surrendered to the magic of the Universe.
