Applying the Lunar Wisdom Formula
The Scorpio Flower Moon♏️🌕 marks the time of year when Spring is in full swing across the Northern Hemisphere of Mother Earth and flowers are reaching full bloom. Normal lunar events and eclipses differ from one another in that the Earth, Sun, and Moon are in alignment. There is a consequent energetic and physical pull that has greater force and unpredictable strength – hence my position on not doing ritual at this time.
This final eclipse on the Taurus/Scorpio Axis, while the Lunar Nodes are still in these signs will be Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. which will occur during Mercury Retrograde in Taurus and its square to Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius. This rare cosmic event holds immense power and significance, and understanding its astrological implications can help us navigate the intense energy that it brings.
First, let's start with the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio. Scorpio is a transformative and intense sign that governs the depths of our emotional and psychological landscape. During this lunar eclipse, we will be called to confront and transform any limiting beliefs or patterns that are holding us back from achieving our fullest potential. This is a time to let go of old wounds and emotional baggage and step into a new phase of growth and expansion.
Adding to the intensity of this cosmic event is Mercury Retrograde in Taurus. Mercury Retrograde periods are notorious for communication breakdowns, technological glitches, and misunderstandings. In Taurus, this retrograde cycle asks us to review our values, our relationship with money and possessions, and our physical senses. It's a time to reflect on what truly matters and to reassess our priorities.
But what makes this particular Mercury Retrograde even more potent is its square to Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius. Pluto is the planet of transformation and power, and its retrograde cycle encourages us to confront and release any deep-seated fears or patterns that are holding us back. In Aquarius, this energy is focused on our connection to community, the collective, and our vision for the future. It's a time to let go of any outdated belief systems and to embrace a new vision for ourselves and for humanity.
Anyone with a Scorpio♏️ or Taurus♉️ Sun, Moon or Rising will be impacted greatly by this lunation. Adding Pluto, recently starting it’s retrograde journey for the year – this will also include those with Leo/Aquarius placements for major activation points. This lunation increases the collective energy around all things Community Finances/Sex/Birth/Death and Transformation – activating the 8th House of Mysteries. It will also impact anyone with planets at the 14/15th degrees in their chart.
So let’s use this final eclipse of the Spring Season to help us transform and release anything that we don’t need for our highest good. The reality is that whatever it is that needs to go right now is fated and will exit the building. The opportunity that we have let go freely and not get dragged – and this is my recommendation as this powerful event takes place.

The Final 8th House Eclipse♏️ Of The Taurus/Scorpio Season: Assessing Your Own Timeline Shift & Affirmations
So, what does all of this mean for us in the days ahead?
How will this impact your timeline shift?
Let’s start here, the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio during Mercury Retrograde in Taurus and its square to Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius is a powerful opportunity for transformation and growth. It's a time to confront our fears, our limiting beliefs, and any patterns that are holding us back. By doing so, we can tap into our fullest potential and create positive change in our lives and in the world around us.
This particular eclipse is not only the end of the 18-month cycle (yes there is a Taurus eclipse in October 2023 but it’s a pseudo-eclipse and the nodes will have shifted out of those signs), but it also harkens back to 18-19 years to the date May 4, 2004.
Eclipses are an amazing spiral of timeline shifts that occur in 18-19 month chunks, with the sign order repeating every 9 years, and eclipses happening in the same sign and degree of the zodiac every 18-19 years – give or take.
For me as a Scorpio, I graduated with my clinical therapy degree 4 days after the 2004 eclipse, ending a chapter of being in professional school and training and making less than $10 an hour. The new timeline was one where I had my graduate license before walking across the graduation stage and 2 new jobs (in education and therapy) that allowed me to more than triple my salary in an instant.
This is what I mean by timeline shifts. Your life will experience a fated event that will shift the trajectory and events in a way that you close out one chapter and start a new one. The intensity of this shift is based in your willingness to shift and let go, which is what Full Moon’s and Lunar Eclipse ask us to do. Eclipses are timeline shifts, because they come in predictable increments, to the same place and help us advance each time by bringing us a fated event that we must respond to.
Now to make the most of this cosmic event, it's essential to practice self-care, stay grounded, and remain open to the lessons that the universe is trying to teach us. Journaling, meditation, and other mindfulness practices can be particularly helpful during this time, as they can help us process our emotions and connect with our intuition. It's also important to prioritize rest and self-care, as the intense energy of this cosmic event can be draining.
