You’ve probably heard of this full super moon being called a ‘blood’ moon, which actually refers to the Earth’s reddish shadow that’s cast onto the moon during an eclipse.
When La Luna is classified as 'super', the moon is closest to Earth, which is why it appears big and juicy! Astrologically, any super moon amplifies the effects of the sign that it's in. So, in this case, the super moon is highlighting the eclipse in Sagittarius' message.
It’s no coincidence that this full moon in Sagittarius occurs a few days before Mercury’s retrograde. And, as this notable cosmic event is also a total eclipse, its effects are guaranteed to be long-lasting and quite possibly life-changing. This is especially true if you have a planet in your birth chart at five degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces.
Mercury’s retrograde and May’s lunar eclipse are in cahoots, magnifying each other’s message. While Gemini’s job is to relay ideas, data and knowledge, Sagittarius’ eclipse encourages you to arrive at new conclusions. An eclipse can conceal facts because as the moon is hidden by shadow, the same can be true about information. This doesn’t mean that what you need to know is unavailable, but you’re going to have to dig a little deeper. My hot tip for this eclipse? Prepare for a belief system overhaul.
In a nutshell, it’s time you question your opinions based on new, incoming intel.
But beware of gossip or false information! This can be Gemini’s trick. Yet, La Luna, in the sign of the Archer, points its arrow towards high ideals that are ultimately in search of the truth.
During this eclipse, it’s your task to sort fact from fiction and reset your sails towards your true North.
