Saturday May fifth, the Moon rises full in Scorpio. This is a Super full Moon, or perigee, meaning it is closer to the Earth, appearing as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than a usual full moon. This is a powerful Moon. Super powerful. We are each affected by the energy of the full moons, more so if the full moon falls in an important part of your chart. Scorpio is hell bent on transformation. Digging deep down into things. Pluto, is the ruler of Scorpio. Pluto represents the dark side of life. The stuff we suppress, turn from, try desperately to disown and defend against. This full moon you have a chance to get in touch with all that you disown. The despicable parts of your personality. Unacceptable you needs a hug, and this Scorpio super full moon makes sure you at least have a look at what you find so unacceptable.
The Sun and the Moon are in a fixed opposition now. The Sun in Taurus is opposing the moon in Scorpio- One of the reasons the full moon is so powerful is the energy of the opposition causes a light to shine on the other side of things- where we are often unconscious. Taurus wants security, stability, sameness and guarantees. Scorpio needs to continuously transform, and renew. These two forces are in conversation now. Consciously choosing growth and change, stretching yourself, leaving your comfort zone, and committing to change will bring this powerful energy into conscious use. When we resist our own evolution we begin to die, first a little inside, then the outside starts degenerating. We need to embrace life now. Let go of the outworn ways of the past and choose new futures. Dust off a buried dream, put some effort into what you do want and be willing to let go of what you don't want.
Scorpio has penetrating insight, an ability to see behind the masks that people carefully construct. Now you can see if you are using your energy un-wisely. Any drain on your life force will be easy to spot now. Scorpio energy is able to be ruthless with the pruning. If a situation or relationship is not working for you, now you can see the truth of the matter. Now you can liberate yourself from unproductive ways of being and relating. A new you is waiting to emerge. One unhampered by the past and fully focused on the present. As you let situations and people go, it is helpful to utilize the Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono, which is a practice that seeks the highest level of love and healing for all parties involved. By simply imagining the person you are having a difficulty with and using these words: "Please forgive me, I am sorry, thank you, I love you", you set in motion a powerful force for healing in all directions of time.
Now it is important to acknowledge the shadow side. The part of yourself that is working behind the scenes, thwarting your conscious intentions. Maybe you had your heart broken by your first love, a part of you may have then decided never to let love in to hurt you again. Though you go on you forget this decision to protect yourself and don't understand why you can't seem to find a loving relationship. The shadow is in action, protecting you, yet sabotaging you at the same time. Debbie Ford is an author that writes about this major obstacle in most people’s lives. The Shadow Effect, and The Dark Side of the Light Chasers are two of her books that are immensely helpful in understanding this concept.
There is a supportive grand trine, a triangle of energy, in the Earth signs that creates the stability that we need to be productive. Mars, action planet is in Virgo, flaw finder of the zodiac; contacting Pluto in Capricorn, transforming the structures of our lives; and the third spot in this triangle of positive energy is the Sun and jolly Jupiter in Taurus. Its like having a stable, supportive platform to launch from. We are rooting down, connecting more deeply with the Earth, which is the true source of stability, our sense of security comes from this connection with the planet.
So while the moon may make you feel a little crazy, and things can get intense, rest assured that you are deeply supported by your Soul guiding this process. Issues are surfacing so you can feel then release- Feel then release. When you catch yourself in a panic, or a fit of jealousy, or maybe you feel betrayed and abandoned, just feel it all. Acknowledge these unacceptable feelings so you can let them go.
You can harness this powerful full moon with some sort of physical action. Create a vision board. Burn old photos or papers that remind you of a painful past. Have a bath with cleansing oils like cypress or grapefruit, steep away the pain inside and let the past wash down the drain at baths end. Journal your new awareness and take time to set your intentions. Watch for things to manifest on or around July 31st. You will then see the results of the energy you focused on now. What you focus on grows so be sure to take an inventory of your interests and see if they are in line with your long held aspirations. May this full moon bring you deep healing and profound transformation, with blessings of Love all around.
