Week 16 - 22 May 2022
There is a Blood Moon Eclipse in the sign of Scorpio ♏️
Hello and welcome to another week in astrology…
This night, the evening of 16 May, sees a Lunar Eclipse in the shadowy sign of Scorpio.
Keep in mind that the eclipse energy has been building for some time now, and it will continue to grow tonight and into tomorrow.
You will probably feel the effects for some time to come although the emotional intensity will start to dissipate as the week goes on - timetable in about two to four weeks for the eclipse to fully shake itself out!
The Scorpio Blood Moon Eclipse asks us to let go of what is no longer working for us, and we need to trust that this eclipse may rock our foundations but ultimately make us happier and healthier both mentally and physically in the future.
Areas that will be affected by the eclipse globally include stocks and shares, cryptocurrency and the chart of Her Majesty the Queen - so look out for news regarding those.
A word of advice: do not go out in the light of the Moon today or tomorrow and stay away from areas with enhanced spiritual vibrations such as woods, cemeteries or bodies of water.
Lunar eclipses also tend to make us feel exhausted, so get as much rest as possible.
Here's how the eclipse will impact your sign…
Aries: shared resources and money
Taurus: toxic relationships
Gemini: health and routine
Cancer: children
Leo: home and family
Virgo: communication
Libra: money
Scorpio: image
Sagittarius: mental health
Capricorn: community
Aquarius: work
Pisces: travel
