Full Moon May 2020 – Healing & Compassion – Astrology King

The Scorpio full moon on Thursday, May 7, 2020, is the first positive moon phase for six weeks. Full moon May 2020 has a spiritual, healing and compassionate influence because of Mercury sextile Neptune.

The May 2020 full moon will make people generally more sympathetic and understanding. It will make you more sensitive but also better able to understand your conflicting emotions. Importantly, it will then help you envisage a brighter future once the loss and suffering from the coronavirus pandemic begin to subside.

Full Moon Meaning

Sun opposite Moon brings your home, family and intimate relationships into sharper focus for the following two weeks of this moon phase. Opposing forces such as work versus home, or what you need versus what you want, create inner tension and external pressures. This can lead to conflict and crises that drain your energy.

The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts reach their peak at a full moon. So use your increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an impartial and balanced look at your personal relationships. You will clearly see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.

Full Moon Aspects

Full Moon opposite Mercury makes the understanding and communication of your feelings a major theme of this moon phase. Inner conflict between your thoughts and your feelings may occur, resulting in confusion, polarized thinking or anxiety. Tribalism, nationalism, and other prejudices are possible.

Misunderstandings and arguments are possible but the harmonious aspect to Neptune reduces these risks. This is a good full moon for spending quiet time in reflection or talking to a close friend about your inner feelings which you sense are holding you back.

Full Moon trine Neptune heightens your emotions, imagination, and creativity. Increased intuition and psychic awareness help you understand your feelings. This reduces anxiety and makes misunderstanding less likely. And if disagreements do occur, this harmonious, compassionate and spiritual influence encourages compromise, cooperation, and forgiveness.

You may dream up or fantasize about an ideal partner but are just as likely to meet someone special now. Relationships formed during this moon phase would have a soul mate feel to them. Friends may come to you for comforting or a shoulder to cry on. Your caring, sympathetic side is enhanced so this is a good full moon to be of service to your loved ones and also the wider community.

Mercury sextile Neptune is virtually exact (0°00′42″), occurring only 3 minutes before full moon May 2020. So this positive aspect far outweighs the challenging influence of the full moon opposite Mercury. People should generally be sympathetic and understanding, with an idealistic view of how the world should be.

You will still be extremely sensitive to all vibrational energy from other people and the environment. But you can trust your gut feelings. This aspect gives accurate intuition and perceptive skills, and very often psychic abilities. You may receive spiritual information through dreams, meditation, your spirit guide or through chance encounters.

Your intuitive abilities will be an asset in all of your communications. Relationships will benefit from this spiritual and compassionate influence. Your words become soothing and can actually be healing to others. Your hands can also be healing so this is a great full moon for romantic massages.

This is a good full moon for creative pursuits like literature, poetry, drama, singing, art, design, and fashion. It is also good for relaxation, movies, yoga, astrology, tarot, lucid dreaming, and meditation.
