"Blood Moon Revelations: A Tarot Forecast for the Lunar Eclipse"
This spread carries deep esoteric weight, particularly in relation to the upcoming Full Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse on Thursday. The eclipse, combined with Mercury-Venus conjunct, signals revelations in relationships, transformation through communication, and the resurfacing of hidden emotional truths. Let’s break down how your Thoth Tarot spread interacts with these celestial forces.
General Themes of the Lunar Eclipse & Your Spread
A Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse signifies endings, deep emotional shifts, and revelations. This one, happening with Mercury and Venus conjunct, highlights themes of love, wisdom, communication, and hidden truths—especially those repressed in relationships, personal desires, or spiritual growth.
Your spread echoes these lunar energies, particularly through:
Internal conflicts and crossroads (2 of Swords at Kether)
Transformation through desire, wisdom, and choice (Lovers, Lust, Magus)
The play of fate vs. free will (Fortune reversed, Hierophant, 4 of Wands)
A disrupted intellectual and emotional process (Prince of Swords, missing cards, 5 of Cups reversed)
Kether: 2 of Swords ("Peace") – The Illusion of Stillness
At Kether, the 2 of Swords represents an intellectual impasse at the highest level of spiritual consciousness. In the Thoth deck, this is not just indecision, but a forced peace—a delicate balance between conflicting forces, like a moment of calm before something must shift.
Eclipse Connection: The lunar eclipse will break illusions, and the 2 of Swords in Kether suggests that a higher truth is being concealed. This could relate to the missing cards in the Mercy pillar—something is hidden that must soon be revealed.
Mercury-Venus Influence: This suggests a choice or a mental block in love, desire, or spiritual connection. The eclipse may force this hidden conflict into awareness.
Middle Pillar (Balancing the Self)
Above (Kether-Tiphereth): The Magus – The force of manifestation, Mercury itself, active thought.
Tiphereth: The Lovers – Union of opposites, choice, divine integration.
Below (Yesod): Lust (Strength in RWS) – Sexual/spiritual passion, primal forces of transformation.
This sequence suggests that you are at a crossroads (The Lovers) where you must channel raw energy (Lust) into divine will (The Magus). The eclipse will amplify this, forcing a reckoning with the raw force of suppressed desires and the conscious act of choosing one’s path.
Mercury’s influence through The Magus: Communication and mental agility are key. Mercury conjunct Venus during an eclipse means hidden thoughts or emotions about relationships may be exposed.
Lust under The Lovers: The eclipse may unleash buried desires, creative energy, or force the integration of shadow aspects.
Severity Pillar (Facing the Challenge)
Binah (Top): 4 of Wands – Completion, stability in fire.
Geburah (Middle): Fortune (Reversed) – Resistance to fate, karmic delays.
Hod (Bottom): Hierophant – Structure, divine knowledge, dogma.
This pillar represents the strict spiritual lessons that must be faced. The reversed Fortune in Geburah suggests that the eclipse is forcing you to confront where you’ve resisted change or been unwilling to accept fate. The Hierophant below suggests that these changes may involve deep-rooted spiritual beliefs, societal roles, or traditions.
Eclipse Connection: This pillar shows stagnation in the flow of destiny—something needs to be torn down and rebuilt. Expect sudden, unavoidable changes in matters related to belief systems, commitments, and personal philosophy.
Mercy Pillar (What’s Hidden / Awaiting Revelation)
Chokmah (Top): Prince of Swords – Sharp intellect, analysis, restlessness.
Missing Card (Chesed, Middle) – A hidden influence or unknown factor.
Missing Card (Netzach, Bottom) – Repressed emotional truth, desire, or artistic expression.
Malkuth: 5 of Cups (Reversed) – Emotional healing, moving past disappointment.
The missing cards in Chesed and Netzach are important. They conceal aspects of divine mercy and emotional expression, suggesting a hidden force or revelation coming during the eclipse.
Prince of Swords: A cold, detached approach that may need to be softened.
Missing Chesed: A hidden benefactor, unrecognized opportunity, or spiritual force is working in the background.
Missing Netzach: Repressed love, unexpressed desire, or blocked creativity may surface during the eclipse.
Malkuth (Physical Manifestation) – 5 of Cups (Reversed): This suggests that once the missing truths are revealed, emotional healing will take place.
Final Interpretation: The Eclipse as Catalyst
This eclipse will force hidden thoughts, emotions, and relationships into clarity.
There is a powerful karmic shift coming, but there has been resistance to accepting fate (Fortune Reversed).
Love, passion, and spiritual integration are the major themes (The Lovers, Lust, The Magus).
Missing information will be revealed in the coming days, likely regarding suppressed emotions (Mercy Pillar).
The result is emotional rebirth (5 of Cups reversed).
The Mercury-Venus conjunction in the eclipse ensures that whatever happens will involve revelations about love, self-worth, and spiritual direction. Expect a moment of undeniable clarity or confrontation—one that ultimately leads to empowerment and healing.
