According to estimated calculations, the period in which it will be fully covered will be from 00:29 to 1:54.

What is lunar eclipse?

This is the second of four eclipses in 2022 (see dates here) two solar and two lunar eclipses, all on the Taurus-Scorpio axis. In a lunar eclipse, the Moon is eclipsed.

A moon in astrology it has to do with the past and with the sense of security, that is what is more precarious in this phase.

Eclipses are linked to the onset of crisis situations, they can cause imbalance and impulsiveness, so the period calls for more care.

What is the effect of eclipses on the Taurus-Scorpio axis?

The proximity of eclipses (three weeks before and three after) are usually marked by unexpected turns and events. The last eclipse was solar and occurred very close, on April 30 (remember here). Therefore, the months of April and May can already bring these surprises.

Both eclipses will act together for 6 months. And it is not uncommon for some effects to occur months after the phenomenon, just when nothing else connected with it was expected.

May’s total Lunar Eclipse falls in the 25th degree of Scorpio. Since November 2021, eclipses have been happening on the Taurus-Scorpio axis and all eclipses in 2022 will occur in these two signs, which greatly affect the economy and what was thought to be stable (Taurus), and bring out more intensity ( Scorpio), both collectively and personally.

The invitation that eclipses bring is to make a profound review of values, self-esteem, talents and what you really want.

It is good to remember, however, that eclipses in a pair of fixed signs reiterate stubbornness, whether in international terms, such as the Russia/Ukraine war, or in personal terms.

Remembering that the effects of the April and May eclipses will last until the elections in Brazil, and that the phenomena do not favor good coexistence as long as people remain in positions of intolerance.

What to Expect from a Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio

The April 30th eclipse brought about turning points, sudden happenings and the need for releases and changes. The eclipse of May 16th will have the Sun and Moon in tension with Saturn, marking the opposite, which are restrictions and contentions.

Is that the previous eclipse – characterized by the impulsiveness of Uranus – tends to burst situations that, under the effect of the new eclipse, can generate restrictions, lead us to face charges and have the maturity to solve the issues that arise.

The April eclipse, despite the more sudden side, had a triple conjunction of Venus with Jupiter and Neptune, which brought benefits to relationships and partnerships (along with illusions) and which made things more festive and relaxed.

The Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio calls for maturity and realism, but also helps to bring solutions through more “yin” ways, as it highlights signs of this polarity, of Earth (Taurus) and Water (Scorpio), favoring practicality (Earth) and good doses of intuition (Water). Understand here everything about elements, rhythms and polarities of the signs.

What Can Happen in a Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio

Pandemic: this eclipse has Mars together with Neptune, which is a dangerous combination for the pandemic, and may indicate an unexpected contamination potential at some point in the 6 months of the eclipse’s duration.
Tragedies: it can mark situations that get out of control, whether human, such as, for example, crowds of people that end in violence, or linked to nature, such as heavy rains.
Personal life: Mars/Neptune can make some people more lost or, on the contrary, ask to act on intuition.

In Brazil, focus on education, restrictions and inflation

In the country, the 3rd, 9th and 12th houses will be highly emphasized, as this is where the tense configuration that marks the eclipse chart takes place, a “T-square” with Saturn at the tip of the T and opposite Sun and Moon.

Sun and Moon occupy Astrological Houses involving travel, communications, education, brainstorming, universities, law, and interactions with the outside world. Eventually, Saturn may have to do with “pulling ears”, restrictions and warnings in the themes of these Houses, such as legal ultimatums and other situations.

The 12th house, in turn, where Saturn is, traditionally has to do with concrete or other prisons (as was the pandemic), backstage that usually remains hidden and with the most vulnerable layer of the population. You can understand more about the 12th house meanings here.

Both the previous eclipse and the one on 05/16 lead to rising inflation and the financial restrictions that this generates, especially for the poorest layer of the population.

It also has to be considered that the previous eclipse fell on the planet Saturn on the Independence of Brazil map, a symbol that has to do with governments, authorities and structures, which can generate a lot of instability in this area.

Voltage for United States and Russia

The current eclipse, as well as the one in November 2021, squares the Moon on the Independence map of the United States, which for months has been one of the countries involved in the tension between Russia and Ukraine – which occurred within the validity of that eclipse.

In addition, the May eclipse falls in exact conjunction with the Sun of US President Joe Biden, with the coming months still being decisive for the entire international imbroglio.

In Russian President Vladimir Putin’s chart, on the other hand, the eclipse makes tension with Pluto in the natal chart, bringing to the fore intense questions of power. No wonder the map of modern Russia, from 1991, also has the eclipse triggering the Venus/Pluto conjunction.

Performance of this eclipse in personal life

In private life, areas involving communication, teaching and learning, expanding horizons, broadening ideas, academic life and knowledge will be highlighted by many people.

With Saturn’s touch on all of this, it calls for seriousness and effort on our part. It’s important to remember that this planet’s role in this eclipse chart is to pull you towards reality – and sometimes it’s not exactly what we want, but the sooner we face it, the better.

The challenge will be not to fall into the extreme of pessimism, which can lead to a lack of focus (one of the risks of Mars/Neptune in this map), fears and stagnation, and the invitation of the previous eclipse, which works together with this one, was precisely that of change.
