Flower Moon Horoscopes – May 2023
This year’s Flower Moon (May 2023) is unique because it undergoes a penumbral lunar eclipse while Mercury is in retrograde. According to astrology, eclipses are believed to be three times more energetically intense than any regular full Moon and tend to align with significant life events. Often times, lunar eclipses bring major news, turning points, breakthroughs, or breakdowns on the day, week, or month surrounding them. For these reasons, we considered our popular Zodiac Calendar and consulted globally recognized astrologer Kyle Thomas to create a special horoscope report for you. Here are ways that May’s Flower Moon may affect you according to your zodiac sign …
Flower Moon 2023 Astrology
Historically, people from many cultures around the world feared eclipses. These times were often linked to tragedies, famines, plagues, and wars. Nowadays, even though we don’t fear these astronomical events in the same way, we may still find them to be particularly potent times.
From an astrological angle, there’s a lot to note about this eclipse. Since the end of 2021, we’ve been experiencing eclipses on the Taurus-Scorpio axis. May’s lunar eclipse occurs at 14 degrees Scorpio and will be the last eclipse in Scorpio until the 2030s.
Lunar eclipses radiate the energy of the zodiac sign that they fall within on a collective scale, highlighting the themes the zodiac sign rules on a global level. This lunar eclipse in Scorpio will cause us to take a deep look at the shadow self within us all — as well as on a collective level.
Scorpio is the zodiac sign of sharing, investments, assets, and intimacy. We will likely notice a greater focus on what we give and receive. Because eclipses are such high-powered events, it is best to lie low, not make impulsive decisions, and see what the universe is bringing up for you to face. Don’t rock the boat — especially because Mercury, the planet of the mind, will be retrograde until the middle of May. Once we get closer to the middle and end of May, life will likely start to feel a bit more productive and less chaotic.
