We are having a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius on May 26th which is peaking at 11:18am Universal Time. It will be a ‘Total’ Eclipse which is commonly referred to as a ‘Blood Moon’ as it will appear red. It will also be a ‘Super Moon’ which is when the Moon is near its closest point to the Earth and therefore appearing larger. This eclipse will be visible (weather permitting) wherever it will be dark in part or all of its duration. This includes most of the Americas, half of Asia, and Oceania. However, its totality will only be visible from the Western half of North America (including Hawaii), some parts of South America, the far East of Asia, as well as Australia, New Zealand and all the islands in between.

This is the first of two eclipses occurring back to back, with this one followed by a Solar Eclipse in Gemini on June 10th.
These are part of a series of eclipses in the Gemini-Sagittarius axis that began in the spring of 2020 and will conclude in the end of 2021. (Join my mailing list here to receive my future eclipse articles and other content.) Eclipses reflect evolutionary changes in specific areas of our lives which can play out over the following 6 months and can begin up to 6 weeks prior. However, they are also part of a 1.5-2 year process in which the Lunar Nodes and most Eclipses are in the same signs.
The changes that occur are connected to the sign they are in, the planets they are configured to, and how this all lines up with our individual astrological blueprints (natal chart). This eclipse puts an emphasis on Sagittarius which is where the South Node is. This indicates changes and developments associated with this sign that can have a decreasing effect in how its themes are expressed. However, negative expressions of this sign can also come up more so to bring it to our attention and to facilitate some sort of change. In this situation, Sagittarius energies and aspects of life can be more constructive when they are expressed in harmony with a Gemini emphasis. Sagittarius is associated with beliefs, philosophies, religion, idealism, morals, righteousness, travel, exploration, expansion, optimism, and perspectives based on experience. It is associated with media, marketing, and education. Sagittarius energy can be excessive, blunt, egotistical, argumentative, judgemental, fanatical, opinionated, preachy, unrealistic, disregarding of consequences, and have a ‘know-it-all’ complex. This Full Moon Eclipse is opposite the Sun in Gemini which is where the North Node is.
There is an emphasis on increase and growth around the themes/energies of this sign. Gemini is associated with facts, communication, articulation, learning, different viewpoints, neighbors, neighborhood, close friends, siblings, extended family, as well as our local and immediate surroundings. Sagittarius expressions will work best within a balance in which it serves the interests of Gemini. For example, some people may find that their immediate experiences are at odds with their beliefs and therefore this should help to reshape one’s perspective if we are working with this constructively.
There are other ways this can play out in the areas of life mentioned above. This Lunar Eclipse is in a T-square with Jupiter which has recently entered Pisces, one of its home signs. Considering Jupiter is also the ruler of Sagittarius, this can emphasize many of the themes mentioned above. With it being the focal planet as part of a T-square with the Sun and Moon, it could also offer solutions to these luminaries’ opposition within the Gemini-Sagittarius axis. Pisces themes such as compassion, oneness, sympathy, empathy, sensitivity, creativity, and spirituality can help to overcome negative qualities of Sagittarius and for the polarity to work in harmony. However, this aspect can also play out as overextending ourselves as well as issues with boundaries or blind spots. This eclipse is also in a trine with Chiron in Aries.
Themes of healing, personal development, holistic perception, problem solving, and bridging fragmented areas of life or expressions of ourselves may come up. We can experience developments or circumstances that trigger old wounds, negative patterns, or behaviours rooted in the lack of holism, which can ultimately help us to release or change our relationships with these things getting in the way of our growth. This energy can come up from June 1st to 3rd when it is triggered by the Sun but is still part of the backdrop for months to come.
The Sun and Moon are also applying a supportive aspect with Saturn in Aquarius. Although the energies of this eclipse can be scattering considering the mutable signs of Gemini and Sagittarius in a square with Jupiter, this Saturn aspect can help to mitigate some of that. It can also bring a level of realism and responsibility to the equation. This will be strong from June 2nd-4th when the Sun is trine Saturn. During this eclipse and in the days following, Venus in Gemini is in a square with Neptune in Pisces. This can reflect confusion, lack of boundaries, delusion, deception, or flakiness when it comes to friendships, matters of love, or finances.
The potential for escapism and avoiding work is also high at this time. This can be great for any creative or artistic pursuits that don’t require any sort of precision or specific expectations. Venus then makes a conjunction to Mercury on May 28th/29th which will be going retrograde less than a day later. Pleasant social communications, touching base with friends, or perhaps even old lovers can be a factor at this time. However, with Mercury about to be going retrograde it’s possible that certain interactions at this time may contribute to the shifts you may experience over the following month. I will be writing a separate article on this Mercury retrograde, so stay tuned for that. (Join my mailing list here to get notified when my articles are published.) Venus will then enter Cancer and be in a trine with Jupiter in Pisces on June 3rd/4th which will be around the same time the Sun is in a trine with Saturn as mentioned earlier. This can be socially or romantically expansive and optimistic. Our relations can be a source of learning and gaining perspective. Generosity and/or luck may be experienced or expressed on this day and some people can benefit financially under this sky. This can be good for any media or marketing efforts around art, aesthetics, or social endeavors. Mars in Cancer is moving towards a trine with Neptune which is strongest from May 30th to June 1st. This is good for actions that require us to flow without rigidity, which is also recommended considering Mercury’s positioning at that time. Asserting ourselves in a creative, artistic, spiritual, inspired, or intuitive way can be a theme. Sexually, this period can be magical. This can also be good for activities that involve water. Mars then moves towards an opposition with Pluto in Capricorn which will peak from June 4th-6th. This aspect can be intense and we may experience power struggles. Conflicts or issues may come up around control, obsessions, secrets, or other things being revealed. We can feel more forceful and aggressive. At best, this energy can be passionate, highly sexual, and can also be good for taking action towards making necessary changes or purging. What has been coming up for you regarding your beliefs and are they in conflict with certain facts or real life experiences? What have you overlooked and what are your blind spots? Do you express judgements or opinions in ways that are doing more harm than good? Are there areas of life or perspectives you hold that you are being unrealistic about? Do you have any excessive behaviors that need to be addressed and do you need to be more disciplined? What do you need to change or release to help you be more whole and a better version of yourself? These are just some examples of what can be playing out for you but not limited to these either. Keep in mind that the themes of this specific eclipse will play out until the Fall. It is best to try to tune into this energy as it happens and pay attention to your feelings to help you in decisions you need to make in the future. After the Moon begins the wane following the peak, and during the following two weeks, can be a good time to initiate any sort of releasing process if you feel necessary.
The eclipse process begins at 8:47am Universal Time on May 26th with it peaking at 11:18am and finishing at 1:49pm.
