How to See the Last Supermoon of 2020

Even if you’re stuck indoors during the pandemic, you can still catch May’s full moon, the last supermoon of 2020, which will appear full from Tuesday evening through Friday morning (May 5-8).

Technically, the full moon, which will be in the constellation Libra, will last only a moment. That will happen at 6:45 a.m. EDT (1145 GMT) on Thursday, May 7, when the side of the moon that faces Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, according to NASA. Skywatchers may also notice the “evening star” planet Venus, which was shining at its brightest of the year just last week, according to Space.com, a Live Science sister site.

May’s full moon is also known as the flower moon, a fitting moniker given that wildflowers and gardens are blooming all over the Northern Hemisphere. Other names for May’s full moon include the corn planting moon, milk moon and Vesak festival moon, which commemorates the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.

Daily Horoscope Thursday, May 7, 2020

Moon Alert

Until 10:15 PM EDT today (7 PM PDT) we have the “all clear” to shop and do business. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Financial issues might come to ahead today because of the Full Moon. Nevertheless, as Mercury dances with Neptune, you might be tempted to paint a rosy picture on things. Perhaps something looks better than it really is?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year. This is why you might be at odds with a close friend or partner. Nevertheless, your ESP is heightened, which allows you to “tune in” to others with greater sensitivity. Interesting! (“I see dead people.”)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today’s Full Moon might bring a situation related to your health or a pet or your job to a head. If so, you will instinctively know what to do because you are in touch with your vibes and your inner being. Trust your hunches.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Issues with kids might arise today. They might have hissy fits or meltdowns because of the energy of the Full Moon. Meanwhile, you are tuned in to the needs and wants of friends or a member of a group. It’s as if you can read someone’s mind. (Maybe you can?)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and public reputation today because of the opposition set up by the Full Moon. Whatever happens, you will stay in touch with your outer world and your public status.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be careful because today’s Full Moon creates slight accident-prone influence. This means you have to be aware and mindful. Think before you speak; think before you act. Make sure you are clear about important ideas before you endorse them.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Disputes with the government or with someone about an inheritance or anything to do with taxes and debt, today this situation might be resolved. Furthermore, you will feel sympathetic to the needs of others. This is a good thing but do not ignore your own self-interests because you count, too.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. This could introduce increased tension with you and someone close to you. Fortunately, Mercury, opposite your sign, in touch with Neptune, will increase the sensitivity of your communications with others. It also increases someone else’s ability to “read” you. (You’re all vowels!)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Avoid work that requires attention to detail and solid logic because today an element of confusion exists at your job or for any task that you set yourself. (This also includes important decisions regarding pets.) Think carefully before you make any decisions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Fun activities with kids might appeal to you today because you’re in a playful, fanciful mood. You might bring this same mood to a romantic situation. Nevertheless, today’s Full Moon could create confusion. Tread carefully.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You cannot ignore the demands of home and family today even though you feel pulled in another direction. If you explore matters at home or within the family, you will find that this is where your sympathies lie. People are aware of you today because you are high viz.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an accident-prone day for you because of the energy of the Full Moon. This means you have to pay attention to everything you say and do. Slow down and take it easy. Meanwhile, your psychic abilities are heightened today. (Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

CBE, physicist/meteorologist Joanna Haigh (1954) shares your birthday today. Although you value your security, you put the needs of others before your own. Because this is a year of teaching and learning, you will learn something that sets you in a new direction, which could be crucial for your success next year. Explore meditation, yoga or any discipline that will help you to get a better understanding of who you are.

(May) Full Moon in Scorpio

The Full Moon in Scorpio resonates with the mysteries of sex, birth, death, and rebirth. On this Full Moon we shine light into hidden recesses of our psyche. It is a time to shed old skins and let go from whatever is keeping us from growing. Under Scorpio Full Moon, we have the opportunity for profound personal transformation. This is also a good time to reflect on how we can reclaim our sense of personal power. This Full Moon is an especially potent time to work with the goddess associated with the scared dark. It is also a time for working all kinds of banishing, releasing, and cord cutting rituals. Scorpio helps us surrender to the process of transformation. Scorpio has a fierce compassion that tempers us, deepen us and turns us into beings of wisdom.

Inanna, walk beside me in my time of descent, and help me see that they are the pathways to wholeness, healing, and hard-won wisdom.

Guiding Goddess: Inanna, the Morrigan, Kali, Cerridwen

Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.
