The April 2013 Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio: A Pit Stop in the Evolution of Human Consciousness

The starry heavens will be presenting to us a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees Scorpio on April 25th. Is it just me, or does it seem like 1 thing after another...the skies are always filled with drama. We just came off of a very difficult Mercury retrograde period in Pisces (Mercury isn't good in Pisces as it is), and a very tense square involving Uranus, Sun, Mars, Venus in Aries, squaring Pluto in Capricorn. Before we have a chance to catch our breath, in comes the Eclipse.... and its in Scorpio....conjunct Saturn.... opposing Mars, Venus and of course the Sun in Taurus. In and of itself the Full Moon can be a handful, but its a LUNAR ECLIPSE and eclipses in their own right are intense "course changers", so to speak. A HUGE Spotlight will be thrown onto Scorpio, AND on all of our dysfunctional behaviors, choices and patterns (usually unconscious) that have messed up our lives, AND that no longer serve a purpose for us. By now, you should know what they are. The **it has already hit the fan for everyone with Saturn and the Node transiting Scorpio for a while now... we all have had our tango with some wound, hurt, power struggle, blind spot, behavior, pattern, and deep-dark emotion/issue. So, we are already aware on some level of the issue(s). This Eclipse simply rubs our face in it and makes it CRITICAL.

It takes us deeper into the heart of it and with Saturn conjuncting the Moon, a very serious and responsible tone characterizes this Eclipse. This is the time to take ultimate responsibility (Saturn) for our "STUFF". This is "Dragon Slaying" time. Its time to cut loose the things that drag you down. Scorpio is the realm of psychic vampires that suck all of your precious energy and resources. These are varied and can include toxic friendships, toxic relatives, toxic partnerships, toxic ideas, toxic beliefs, toxic emotions, toxic behaviors, toxic thoughts, toxic patterns, and the list goes on.

Hopefully you've got the idea here. Get out the scalpel and start "cutting". To give you an example of this....My father was having car trouble recently.... it was having trouble starting up periodically. He found out it was a bad battery, but something was draining the battery. When the battery is drained, the car cant function properly. What is draining your "batteries".... emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually? Your task for the next 6 months (the length of time an eclipse lasts) is to figure this out. Master this task and Saturn will reward you... if not now, later.

Thanks for the insight, I'm already in the process of elimination 🙂

I'm really looking forward to this eclipse.

Does this make me twisted? OR does it just making me a capricorn sun with saturn in scorpio? ...wondering where oh where will this rabbit hole take me?

mark my words, it will have something to do with work. lol. OH, to be a capricorn!!!! 😛


Nope, I'm really curious to what might happen too. Even though I can imagine a whole load of stuff going wrong in the meantime. My mind is just going through all the planning for the different contingies. 😛

I expect it will have something to do with a Scorpio friend of mine. Our relationship has hit a sour note, but trying to fix it long-distance over messaging is kind of hard... Or it could be something completely different. This thing is supposed to blindside and surprise us.

I look very much forward to it. Here's a clip from Terry Nazon, one of my other favs. I believe any Scorp that has their shit together will glide just fine 😉

""The Full Moon at 5??51?? Scorpio is a Partial Lunar Eclipse at 3:57 pm EST. It is the 1st of 3 eclipses through the month of May, 2013, that along with the planet Saturn in Scorpio and the Lunar North Node in Scorpio are very karmic, volatile and yet somehow freeing. Whatever, or whoever gets in your way, this month you??ll walk though, over, or past to get to your goals. Eclipses foretell or forewarn about events. The Full Moon eclipse is an ominous aspect because the stationary direct degree of Saturn in Scorpio is 4??49??. Saturn transits 5??51?? Scorpio three times, the first time was Nov.24, 2012, the 2nd time will be after the Full Moon Eclipse June 2nd, and the 3rd time after the Full Moon Eclipse, will be Aug. 12-13th, 2013. Additionally, the lunar North Node which forces forward destiny or movement forward, will transit 5??51?? Scorpio Dec, 23-14th, 2013. How this Full Moon eclipse affects your life personally depends on your Natal Birth Chart and the planets, and house cusps, you have at 5??51?? Scorpio. The Eclipse this month is in your Sun sign and brings a turning point and a big decision. Scorpio can easily take matters into their own hands as the ellipse forces you to rely upon yourself. It is a Full Moon of consequences for Scorpio.
Overall April is a month for you to do what you want to do. Follow your heart, and live your dream. For Scorpio this month gives you new ideas and a fresh direction to go in. Let go of the past, get organized and put all that you??ve learned thus far into something new. A new direction. Call for more details!"

Block option is so inconvenient, I blocked you by accident when I was using my phone. I have to sign in and out to read your posts.

I thought Saturn was going to teach a valuable lesson? I guess i'm pertaining to some Scorps who will try to attain their goal even if its selfish.



I have read many articles that Saturn (which moves slowly and with the recent retrograde that is now direct) is affecting mainly 1st decan Scorpio. It slowly begins to move into 2nd decan Scorps in the fall.

I only shared part of it..here's the entire month. She really is very good, the pros all charge for astro readings as they should as well as advertise for those services.
April 2013

Scorpio: (Oct. 23-Nov.23): As your astrology horoscope month begins without the heavy influence of the outer planets, it's a great month for personal progress. We are free to walk in the rain, lay in the Sun, or work hard unimpeded by anyone or anything. This month Scorpio has the personal planets in their 6th house of work, health, and helpfulness and Jupiter in the 8th house of —what's in it for me?? and other people's money. If you??re in sales this could be great. More than likely you could be in a position to hold the purse strings for someone else or at least dip into their cookie jar. Scorpio likes to position themselves as a fiduciary for others.

Change and big dreams aren't just for the young; they??re for the young at heart. Anyone at any age can change their life. This month the planets can push anyone into making big life changing decisions, you just have to start; so start somewhere, start now. Launch a dream, take a chance, and make a change. Throw yourself whole heartedly into a desire, a hope, and an aspiration. The details, the particulars, and the specifics will meet you somewhere down the road, and more than likely they??ll iron themselves out. If the possibility of financial freedom comes along Scorpio will take it this month. Helping a rich old lady or old man take care of their shopping and bank deposits, well, it could happen. Scorpio could also find a fabulous sales job, be asked to endorse products or come up with a great new product that will be the next best thing.

The New Moon in Aries at 20??41?? on Apr.10 starts a new cycle of enthusiasm and activity in yur solar 6th house of work, health, service to others and dependents. A —Me first?? attitude prevails, and has its advantages. Everyone wants to be first at something, the head of something, a major player, a leading lady or man, or just be first in line, first to work, or first out the door. Independence is essential and sharing the spotlight isn't so easy now. There's always going to be those loud mouths and big talkers, this month but, if anyone brags or shows off too much they could be in trouble. If you get an opportunity to be helpful, take it. It might turn into so much more than you could ever dream about.

With Saturn RX retrograde in Scorpio and Pluto going retrograde in Capricorn April 12th hopefully you have gotten stronger in certain areas of your life and gotten more independent, restructured, tore apart certain areas of your life, let go of people you??ve outgrown, and begun the rebuilding process. If you have done the dirty work and have begun to handle the challenge of reshaping and realigning your life, you won't have a problem when these two planets go retrograde. In fact, they??ll work quietly behind the scenes for you ferreting out any gaps you might have missed, and when they both resume direct motion in the fall you can get back to the work, reshaping, restructuring and tearing down those structures and walls in your life that are needed anymore. If you haven't done the work, the 2nd pass of these planets can be tough, (the retrograde period). Check your Natal Birth Chart for degrees between 4??-9??, paying attention to the aspects involved. With Saturn retrograde in your 1st house, it's like starting over, but this time you have lots of experience under your belt and so much yet to do. Pluto retrogrades in your solar 3rd house and Scorpio is trying to outwit, out maneuver and sometimes just outright lie and that won't win you any brownie points let alone friends.

The messenger planet Mercury enters Aries your 6th house of hard work and service to others and as it does it aspects all the planets one by one. Mercury in Aries, is impatient to start something, (that —something?? depends on your birth chart), and Mercury is getting information from every planet it aspects. It's one of the reasons Mercury is called the messenger planet. It's a boon to health matters, diet, exercise, pets and work, especially if you are having trouble in this area of your life. Lots of information will come to you.

As the Sun enters the fixed Earth sign Taurus, your 7th house of other people, and personal relationships it reminds us about what's most important to us. Not only does the earth sign of Taurus rule money, wealth, and fixed assets, it rules what makes us feel good about ourselves. That can be holding hands with someone you love, or a child; it could be a favorite meal or worn out shoes. Feeling good is what the sign of Taurus is all about, and if anyone threatens what makes us feel good watch out! Arguments can happen all too easily if we don't respect each other when the Sun??s in Taurus. This month what you put into relationships you get out of them. Partnerships are favorable and lucrative, especially business partnerships.


...add the part I shared initially about the lunar eclipse.

Here's another snip on Saturn and a description how Satrun affects us and the about one has in Scorpio, but overall Saturn is giving us all a magnifying glass to fix what needs to be fixed. As Saturn goes through the decans it reinforces what we refuse to see. (mind you this is a snip from early November when Saturn was retro)

"Saturn is currently retrograde, having turned last February 18 at nearly 12 degrees Scorpio. This means Scorpio with birthdays that fall October 23 to November 3 have had a visit of Saturn to their Sun. Soon, in July, if your birthday has been named, Saturn will move on to visit other members of the Scorpio. As you experience these visits, welcome Saturn. He will ask you to commit to a dream, and then he will show you how to achieve it. He may make you work hard, but you will be proudest of all that you achieve under this gaze.

You will likely experience a rite of passage when Saturn hovers over the degrees of your birthday Sun. You may find you work on goals that were previously beyond your reach, for until now, you were not ready. Whichever goal you choose to take on while Saturn is near, it is a goal that cannot be reversed or "taken back," so don't expect life to return to where it was before. Specifically, some goals that you might be choosing among (to get you thinking) include getting married, having a baby, starting a business, buying a first house, writing a book or screenplay (and selling it), caring for an elderly parent - you get the idea. These are the goals that form the very pillars to the structure of our lives."

Just in case people think this moon is only going to affect 1-11 degree Scorps..think again

"A Lunar Eclipse occurs on April 25, 2013 at 5 degrees and 46 minutes of Scorpio (opposite the Sun in Taurus), affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 1 to 11 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Sorry i'm too lazy today to read all of the responses 😢 but does this mean that a new career change at this time is a good idea? Idk what came over me 2 weeks ago but I decided to put my determination on full throttle & now I'm taking a big nursing exam on Monday that I've been studying like hell for 2 weeks & I don't remember the last time I was this focused. I hope this eclipse helps with my exam & future!
