Do you have any buried feelings that need to be revealed or creative ideas that are begging for your attention? Then the stars are here to help you release and move forward into new and exciting territory!
There are two major transits occurring this week that are here to seriously change things up, beginning with a Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Scorpio on May 16th. This lunar transit is incredibly charged and extremely palpable, meaning that you’ll be able to feel those heightened emotions and reveal information harder than ever.
It’s important to pay attention to any hidden information or feelings that surface under this transit, especially as Scorpio is mysterious and deeply drawn to the truth. Scorpio energy strongly urges you to explore your psyche and your inner world now.
Next up, the Sun brings transformation as it moves into intellectual, Airy Gemini on May 20th. Gemini is a sociable sign that requires plenty of mental stimulation and intellectual entertainment.
You desire enticing conversation and the acquisition of new information during Gemini season, making it a great time to learn or study new things.
Gemini season also gives you a chance to learn more about your intellectual preferences and which like-minded individuals you should spend time with now. Embrace the duality of Gemini season and try to understand that changing ideas and moods are just part of the fun!
May 16th – May 22nd is a Week to Feel Deeply & Explore Mentally
The Full Moon and Lunar eclipse in Scorpio will definitely bring some deep, heavy emotions that may feel uncomfortable to face – but it’s crucial that you do. Embrace those emotions and express them in a manner that feels safe and cathartic to you.
Gemini season, on the other hand, turns your attention to the mind, urging you to stimulate it with new information and conversations.
Let those feelings out and then allow yourself to obverse them through the intellectual lens of Gemini season.
If you aren’t comfortable with heavier emotions, a personalized astrological reading can help you learn how to embrace your feelings, based on your birth chart.
