The week after a solar eclipse often feels quite trippy, largely due to all the cosmic shifts occurring within and around us. This week’s energy will be potent and empowering, Scorpio. But it may also feel energetically tiring, because our bodies and minds are preparing for the lunar eclipse in Scorpio that’ll occur two weeks from now. You’re likely to start the week off in the spirit of reflection, and you’ll also feel more curious about the messages you’ve been receiving in your dreams and daydreams. Your mind may be mentally restless under the Gemini Moon, making it an ideal time for meditation and soul-searching.

Mid-week, the Moon shifts into Cancer, and this watery lunation will encourage Scorpios to be sweeter, more compassionate, and more intuitively-driven as we adjust to the new energy of the month of May. But since Mercury Retrograde will begin next week, on May 10, the Cancer Moon may feel like an emotional rollercoaster that drags us back into past lives and makes us reflect on past relationships that may have both harmed and healed us. This isn’t the week for pointing fingers and blaming others for what may have gone wrong, but rather a week for looking in the mirror and becoming aware of how our own actions and reactions may have contributed to our fate. 

This weekend, the Leo Moon can help boost your self-esteem. You may accomplish a milestone in your career around the 7th or 8th of May, and it’s time to be recognized for your achievements, and actively pause before moving on to the next big mission. This energy encourages you to have more fun — that’s part of the magic of eclipse season. If you can go on an impromptu adventure this weekend, absolutely do so. Spending time at the beach or soaking up the sun may be ways for you to activate your inner vibrancy and feel empowered by this eclipse season portal.
