One quality of Scorpio energy that I don’t think gets talked about enough is its ability to regenerate and renew itself. Like an octopus growing a new limb after a bite from a shark, or a snake growing a new skin after shedding its old one, Scorpio reminds you of your ability to rebuild and come back even stronger after a setback or a life transition. Because this is an eclipse, the second one of this spring (eclipses typically come in pairs), think back to two weeks ago during the solar eclipse on 4.30. Most likely a pattern or situation emerged at this time that you’ve been working through, and you are on the precipice of a breakthrough or attitude adjustment about it.
You are getting real with yourself about some self-imposed fears and too-small boxes you have put yourself in. Saturn squares this eclipse, which can feel like a boulder has landed in your path. The best way to handle it is to catch your breath and look around. Self-discipline is required to keep yourself on track. It’s fine to have a little “woe is me” moment, but honestly, the rest of the astrology of this eclipse is very much about flow and opportunity, so don’t procrastinate making a decision that has been a long time coming. Keep your head up and focus on what you want.
Mars is aligned with Jupiter and Neptune, which means any actions you take now are inspired and deeply connected to your spiritual truth. You are bringing what before seemed intangible into your felt lived experience. Sometimes we have those moments in our lives where we realize we are at a threshold of something miraculous. Or we might finally understand/appreciate all that has led us to this moment. This lunar eclipse is one of those moments. It’s not about cheap spiritual thrills and psychic tricks, although those are definitely on the table if you are so inclined. It’s more about feeling an opportunity with your whole being and knowing with clarity where you stand and how your values are living through you. It truly doesn’t matter if you go for it or not. What does matter is that knowledge of self that is emerging from your lived experiences.
Personal power and Scorpio are inextricably linked. I believe one reason for this is that Scorpio has a very adept B.S. detector. Someone can talk a good game, but those with a strong Scorpio signature will see through the facade. It can be limiting to view anything new with suspicion immediately, but Scorpios can’t really help it. You have to earn their trust. It’s not automatically given. Because Mercury is retrograde in Gemini, there will be messages flying around that don’t add up. Use this Scorpio ability to see through the fluff to what is underneath the words being used. More will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Questions to Ponder: Where am I taking inspired action in my world right now? In what ways am I stronger and wiser than ever? How am I accessing deeper levels of clarity and knowing in my being?
