Each month, you can always count on the Full Moon to unleash power and magic in the night sky. However, every once in a while a total lunar eclipse (aka a Blood Moon) interrupts your usual lunar programming. Instead of a Full Moon, which radiates a soft pearly glow, the light of a lunar eclipse burns in the color of a dark and ominous red.
Instead of the usual chaos that tends to happen with a Full Moon, a lunar eclipse has the power to evoke sudden and unexpected changes. It may all sound like drama, but your May 2021 Blood Moon horoscope proves that the experience is happening for a reason.
About every six months something called “eclipse season” begins. This is a short window of time in which at least one solar eclipse and one lunar eclipse will occur within a few weeks. However, a lot can happen in a matter of weeks. In the case of eclipse season, it can result in major ramifications in your life and the lives of others.
An eclipse occurs when a Full Moon or a New Moon activates the lunar nodes. In essence, the lunar nodes represent your ultimate destiny, the north node represents the direction you are heading and the south node represents the energy you are moving away from.
When this happens, big changes tend to happen very quickly. In fact, an eclipse has the potential to accelerate you towards your inevitable destiny. The next lunar eclipse, scheduled for May 26 at 7:13 a.m. ET rises in an adventurous, open-minded, free-spirited Sagittarius at 5 degrees.
This particular eclipse is a continuation of the solar eclipse in Sagittarius that took place on December 14, 2020. To better understand what this eclipse means to you, think back to what was going on in your life back then. There is a good chance that you will receive answers to some of the questions you were wondering at the time.
Each zodiac sign will feel the effects of this eclipse. However, if your natal chart has planets in mutable signs (especially between 0 and 10 degrees), you will feel its impact even more intensely. Here’s what you can expect, according to Astrology:
