Lunar Eclipse In Scorpio, 2023: Release The Emotional Baggage That holds You Back
The chaotic lunar eclipse in emotionally-deep Scorpio aligns on May 5/6, 2023. Expect sudden conclusions and emotional closure as hidden feelings and secrets are forced into the light. This is the final eclipse to align in Scorpio until 2031, so karmic cycles that began in January 2022 are coming to a dramatic climax. The full moon lunar eclipse is an opportunity to let go of your emotional baggage once and for all. Confronting your deepest feelings will lead to profound psychological and spiritual healing.
Seek closure from within
The lunar eclipse in Scorpio greatly contrasts last month's solar eclipse, which was far more empowered and progressive. This Scorpio lunar eclipse is charged by the lunar south node — representing your comfort zone and subconscious instincts stemming from your past. This deep, dark, and investigative energy urges you to realize you cannot move forward until you break free from toxic and self-destructive patterns. Explore your subconscious terrain and unload your unresolved feelings to let go of the past. Seek closure from within rather than looking to others for an apology or affirmation of your feelings.

Dive deep into your emotional waters
Scorpio — a powerful and penetrative water-ruled zodiac sign — brings an emotional and introspective focus to the lunar eclipse. Expect an increase in your sensitivity as you take a deeper look at yourself with a higher level of awareness and accountability. Healing your subconscious motivations and freeing yourself from the emotional attachments that hold you hostage is the final hurdle before your next life-changing rebirth and awakening. Consider how you have unconsciously amplified your suffering by dwelling on the past. Reflect on how your pain or fear has led you to carry negative energy from the past into new situations. Identify what you can give to yourself to ease the discomfort of moving on.
Choose your future over your past
Uranus — the planet of disruptive change — opposes the lunar eclipse, amplifying intense transformations in your life. Move without resistance to the universe’s plan by choosing your future over your past, your healed self over your wounded self, and the lightness of freedom over the heaviness of psychological attachments. Thankfully, Venus’ outreach to wise Jupiter generates optimistic background energy to pull you through the intensity of this transition. Keep your heart open and trust that this wildly unpredictable cosmic connection will lead you to spiritual and self-alignment.
