Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Scorpio 2023

The Full Moon in Scorpio on Sat 6 May AEST (5 May in Europe and the Americas) is a penumbral Lunar Eclipse, heightening the emotions that come with this Scorpio Full Moon.  A penumbral lunar eclipse is one where the Full Moon darkens as it moves into the half-shadow of the Earth.

Even normally, the Full Moon in Scorpio is a highly emotional time.  When it coincides with a lunar eclipse, the potential is hugely intensified.  Typically this is a time when deep and passionate feelings are likely to be revealed, and there’s a strong possibility of secret or intensely private matters coming to light, often with a sexual or financial content (or even both!).

With Uranus strongly configured with this lunar eclipse, we can expect surprises (maybe shocks) and disruptions too.

It’s extraordinary how the British royal family plans events around eclipses (again & again!) – the days of court astrologers are obviously long gone!  Charles’ coronation is set for Sat 6 May in London, where the lunar eclipse falls the previous evening.  I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s unrest and disruption with all the various astrological influences at play.

The eclipsed Full Moon is at 14 degrees Scorpio and is exact at 3.34am AEST (Queensland time), so the best time for Full Moon celebrations will be the previous evening.

Find where this degree falls in your birth chart to see which part of your life is under the spotlight and where changes may be afoot.
