Two weeks after the Solar Eclipse on April 20th, there will be a Lunar Eclipse on May 5th. Lunar eclipses are usually a time for endings and epiphanies.
This does not mean that Lunar Eclipses are bad, but they tend to bring the hidden into the light.
The May 5th Lunar Eclipse is in powerful and transformative Scorpio!
This means this eclipse will have to do with themes of transformation, power struggles, deep intimacy, and uncovering hidden secrets.
The Eclipse Sun will be conjunct Uranus, so expect the unexpected during this time. Uranus is the trickster of the zodiac, and favors unpredictability, thinking outside the box, and sudden events.
So, you can expect deep, transformative events to occur very suddenly and unexpectedly.
Thankfully, Venus will be in sextile aspect to Jupiter at the time of the Eclipse, which will help to ‘soften the blow’. Lead with understanding and kindness, and it might be rewarded.
Moreover, the Eclipse will occur while Mercury is in retrograde, which may delay some of the decisions or results the Eclipse promises. Click here to find out more about how Mercury Retrograde will affect you.
