While the full Moon may be dramatic in itself, layer on a lunar eclipse and it’s a full-on Greek tragedy — or comedy, depending on how you look at things. The victim? The beasts lurking within your psyche that desperately need taming.
This lunar eclipse is a blood Moon because the shadow of the Earth over the lunar surface is total and, in it, the Moon will look ruddy. Fittingly, it takes place in Scorpio, the sign of sex, death, and transformation. Scorpio energy loves to break things open to suss out the stuff within, and this eclipse is all about opening your own Pandora’s box of inner maladies.
Take heart, dear friends. Hope remains with us despite the beastly flaws that haunt our humanity. This week, in the blood light of the Scorpio full Moon, will you have enough curiosity to peek within and empty your heart of its creatures? When you do, what is there guiding you through the night?
When reading personal horoscopes, read your Sun sign for the “big picture” and your rising sign for “where the work is.”
