The eclipse is very long in duration, happening May 16 at 12:14 AM EDT that’s just after midnight of May 15. Visible totality is in the USA, Canada, Central and South America, parts of Western Europe, Western Africa, New Zealand and Antarctica.
At 25:18 degrees Scorpio it connects to the South Node and due to magnitude should be spectacular. Just two weeks ago was a solar eclipse in the opposite sign Taurus that is an axis between the two signs affecting all aspects of money, from how you earn it to how you save and accumulate material goods. This has been an ongoing energy for most of the year and is active for the next three months. Inwardly your sense of value is triggered that brings up self-worth consideration and at this degree can cause anxiety.
Taking time to restore calm and connection to higher energies of wisdom is helpful to squelch bothersome emotions. Mortality and immortality are aspects of Scorpio and with this visual impact alone there’re stirring feelings about how you want to live and about the future. Many want to renew and rebirth due to that open dimensional doorway.
This is a gateway to other dimensions and so is also to the realm of spirits, making this event akin to a big All Hallows Eve when the veil is thin and those that have passed on can walk through into our space, and likewise we can walk easily into theirs. It’s a wonderful time to commune with loved ones on the spirit side of life and as well, connect to ancestral links and guardians.
A Blood Moon is atmospheric in that it can appear in various shades of red due to particles between Earth and the Moon and while that’s a logical reason, it still comes with lore and prophecy that’s not necessarily negated by a scientific explanation. There’re always esoteric energies to alert us to purposes beyond the mundane.
A Super Moon has to do with the location that creates an illusion to size and it rides heavy.
For some (me included) life already feels like a time warp with recollections of the past merging into consciousness that helps to see a fuller journey of this lifetime. Angles to planets and Mars conjunct Neptune in Pisces enriches spiritual knowledge and furthers the mystical within and without – as above, so below. This is a theme related to the South Node. My suggestion is to be forthright with what you feel and intuitively sense and not to be shy about seeing truths and revelations. Jung’s shadow self, dreams from your subconscious or elsewhere, unusual experiences and phenomena and numerous responses to this profound ray are happening. Even the history of UFO’s and UAP’s is stirred that has resulted in Congressional hearings beginning next week about revealing secret data collected over many years. Covert activity is Scorpio ruled.
Involved is the star, Unulkahair, that’s a red star at the heart of the snake constellation Serpens. Ironically, or maybe not, I just began watching a gothic TV series called The Essex Serpent along with a few other Scorpionic activities. Legends and spiritual texts abound with allegorical tales that testify to the reality of transformation and often the intensity that activates it.
Unfolding influences are healing that happens during sleep or deep meditation and if you want that then this opens those avenues for you. Healing of the heart is strong and realization of immortality is part of it.
Taking a moment to quietly bask or doing something more elaborate such as a feast or ritual is okay as long as you’re paying attention. Honoring life on the planet and reinforcing your heart connection is a soul action.
It’s easy to find instructions about times and where the eclipse is visible.
