The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of May 16th has Moon at 1 deg Vedic Scorpio and Sun at 1 deg Vedic Taurus.
Be aware that this is a Threshold time. A Portal time. The nodes of the moon have just changed sign into Aries/Libra with a new pathway needing to be seen ahead, a new pathway for us to take our first step on by going through the Triumphal Arch that is the symbol of Vishakha, which is the Nakshatra in which this Eclipse falls.
See the Part 1 Video : The crucial things to know about this Eclipse
Rahu is at 28 Aries
Ketu is at 28 Libra.
See the Western and Vedic charts for this Eclipse on the May 2022 page of my Starwheel Astrology website.
Eclipse time and dates for different localities are below.
(Eclipse Moon is at 25 Scorpio Western Tropical Zodiac and Eclipse Sun at 25 Taurus Western Tropical Zodiac).
What is Eclipse energy and effects?
The important thing to be aware of is that the energy of Eclipses un-dams tensions that have built up, just as earthquakes shatter tensions that have built up in the strata of the Earth’s crust, even causing Tsunamis.
How should I manage this Eclipse?
The crucial call of this Eclipse is to find time to stay secure in a setting of fearful tense energies. Pace yourself. Ensure you discharge your responsibilities. Ensure that you have tied up loose ends. Focus. Develop Fearlessness – embody this virtue, then pas through your Triumphal Archway and decide upon your pathway for the coming 18 months ahead, and place your first step on your pathway as you pass through the triumphal arch you see.
Be aware that this Eclipse at its highest is a tense and demanding Triumphal Archway.
Connect to Jupiter and Jupiter’s blessing at this time, sense of purpose and Guru energy – Jupiter is casting a benefic 9th House aspect on this Eclipse, and Jupiter rules Vishakha the Nakshatra in which this Eclipse falls.
Be aware of what Houses in your birth chart this Eclipse activates. See the Houses summary below. Houses = our Life-areas.
Be aware of any Planet of your birth chart that the chart of this eclipse conjuncts or aspects.
Be forearmed and prepared with the sense of what the energy of this might mean for you:
For example, in my case, this Eclipse:
Conjucnts my Chiron at 1 Scorpio (which is conjunct Mars)
Saturn, which squares this Eclipse, squares my Chiron
Uranus is square my Pluto
Neptune is square my Jupiter
Pluto squares my Mercury
The Nodes have changed sign: Rahu into my 10th house, Ketu into my 4th House
I expect a demanding activation of my existential wound, yet career and relationship success, and coming into my power.
What will it mean for you?
Get a Reading from me.
The nine other crucial things to be aware of about this Eclipse are as follows:
1.
The Moon is very Debilitated in Scorpio.
2.
This Full Moon Eclipse is square Saturn at 0 deg Aquarius.
This means:
Delay. Enforced demands. Responsibilities. Enforced completions. Enforced dotting I’s and crossing t’s. implacable demand for hard work and determination. Fear. Bitterness. Self-pity.
3.
The Sun of this Full Moon is conjunct dreadful Fixed Star Algol (The severed head of Medusa)
4.
The Eclipse occurs at a tense time of change caused by the shift of the Nodes of the Moon into the Aries-Libra axis on 12.4.22.
5.
This tension is further increased due to the following planets having just changed sign or turned Retrograde:
Mars into Aquarius 7.4.22
The Nodes changed sign into Aries-Libra Axis 12.4.22
Jupiter into Pisces 13.4.22
Neptune into Pisces 18.4.22
Venus into Pisces 27.4.22
Saturn into Aquarius 29.4.22
Pluto turned Retrograde 30.4.22
Mercury turned Retrograde 10.5.22
6.
Venus is conjunct Chiron exact
7.
Mars is conjunct Neptune (+vision/insight breakthroughs OR – Delusion stuff energy)
8.
This Eclipse falls in a place of stagnant energy left by the Eclipse of 19.11.21 where Moon was at 3 Taurus and Sun at 3 Scorpio. And in the energy-patch left by this eclipse, around 1st August gather Mars, Rahu and Uranus, all in Aries, at 24 deg Aries – all in the sign-axis of the Nodes of this Eclipse.
9.
The chart of this Eclipse is divisive Kal Sarpa Yoga energy: all planets to one side of the Nodal axis – this energy will be felt to exist even though Sun and Retrograde Mercury will be just over the sign border from Rahu in the sign of Taurus.
10.
And finally, as I have said: This Eclipse can be made to be a Triumphal Archway – the symbol of Vishakha Nakshatra in which it falls: power animal is the Male Lion!
Part 2: Vision Work suggestion for This Eclipse:
It can be very helpful to do a piece of vision work/meditation at the time of an eclipse and in the days run-up and following.
Here is an outline which you can usefully adapt to navigate your way through this eclipse with strength, peace and power:
Sit in a quiet place.
Have both feet on the ground
See the Moon : Moon is angry and Debilitated in Scorpio, frustrated and willful, boiling and retaliatory.
See the Sun : Sun is materialistic and fixed, ponderous and stuck in Taurus, coveting beauty and sensuality. And see the severed head of Medusa lit by the horror of star Algol making this Sun wilt as her blood drips like venom.
Then see Saturn holding the two luminaries in his grip, at 90 degrees to each: His demands are grim and cannot be evaded: Have you discharged your responsibilities? Have you cut corners? Do you need to tie up loose ends? Obey!
Feel the tension.
Feel the demands.
Check if you are holding any Fears.
Now, bring in your awareness of any planets or life areas of yours that are caught up in this.
See yourself – how you are standing, holding yourself in this energy fulcrum.
Now, breath and take the effort to calm yourself and stand very strong.
See yourself standing in this new way.
Feel the Divine energy in which you stand. Feel it flood down through your Crown chakra, through your body to the ground. Stand in this Light.
Cultivate Patience.
Cultivate Determination.
Cultivate Courage.
Claim the Rewards that you feel are justly yours.
Promise yourself that you will return to this state of Hero being whenever you notice you are lapsing into the tension and fear.
Ask yourself: ‘How should I keep open to mystical awareness and inspiration?’
Be aware that this is a Threshold time. A Portal time. The nodes of the moon have just changed sign into Aries/Libra with a new pathway needing to be seen ahead, a new pathway for us to take our first step on by going through the Triumphal Arch that is the symbol of Vishakha, which is the Nakshatra in which this Eclipse falls.
See the Portal clearly
Peer through it and see YOUR pathway for the coming 18 months stretching ahead.
Take careful note of what you see and feel
Then take that first step through the Portal, onto the first step of your New Pathway
Then close: Bring yourself now out of your vision space, but walk from it as your new Hero self.
