Scorpio Lunar Eclipse 2023

Flower Lunar Eclipse Moon in Scorpio May 5, 2023

My garden is popping! Texas Wildflowers are in full bloom. The trees once filled with tiny buds have bursted into abundant leaves. It’s no wonder where this month's moon gets her name from, Flower Full Moon. 

There is so much to touch on with this Full Moon. The Flower Full Moon is in Scorpio with the Sun in Taurus. Not only will we have a Lunar Eclipse, we will also experience Pluto going Retrograde. 

South Node

A lunar node represents the 2 points (North or South) where the moon crosses the ecliptic, which is the great circle on the celestial sphere that represents the sun's path during the year. Lunar and solar eclipses can occur only when the moon crosses it. The Scorpio Eclipse is positioned in the South Node. The south node represents lessons we have learned, clearing & letting go.  

Scorpio brings in lots of transformation, death and rebirth. It may be a bumpy ride as we recognize what isn’t working for us anymore. There may be a sense of new realizations or desires to move through this discomfort. Know that deep emotional healing is possible. 

Along with Mercury, Pluto is also now in Retrograde. Pluto going Retrograde is a historic moment of our lifetime as Pluto has not gone retrograde in Aquarius since the 1700’s. Pluto went Retrograde on May 1st and will stay there for the next 5 months! During this time power struggles will be broken. Pluto brings positive breakthroughs in your understanding of why things are the way they are, more importantly how to change them! Pluto can assist with your emotional power and show you what to let go of with ease. As Pluto moves through Aquarius and on to Capricorn, remember your past to see a clearer future. Pluto has the power to bring you profound transformation.
