FULL MOON IN 17 deg 20′ SCORPIO
SYD – 7/5 – 8:45pm NYC – 7/5 – 6:45am. LON 7/5 – 11.45am
Welcome to this full moon in Scorpio, a ‘Super Moon’ and the third one in a row. Which means it’s very close to the earth and appears so large. It will however bring a big energy being in the powerhouse sign of the Scorpion. It should bring some breakthroughs in research and within the political arena. Money, investments and all that may have not have been revealed will surely come to the surface on the back of this energy. It is also a time for us personally for some deep contemplation. We rarely escape having to come to grips with some deep emotions during this time and it all depends on what we are dealing with, but it can sometimes be a little unsettling but always for the better, so hang in there!
The great thing here is that this moon is making a lovely water trine (harmonious) to Neptune in Pisces. So this will bring moments of great inspiration, creativity and in a really divinely guided way. This is so helpful in this time of social isolation or at times, a lock down. As frustrating as this may be we also have an opportunity for great ideas to manifest. We will also be asked to question what and where we may have given our power away and where we need to make changes. The more we connect with our inner selves the better we can connect to others. This is a really important time to find our authenticity and be totally honest with ourselves. This may feel like we are being reborn and very much transformed. Just like the phrase – a Phoenix rising out of the Ashes; a vision that describes the alchemy at work during this powerful Scorpio full moon.
We also have a bit of celestial traffic going on at this time that I might touch on. The moon’s north & south nodes have just shifting from Cancer / Capricorn into the Gemini / Sagittarius axis. This is a very different mode of operation for us all. Gemini is the conscious mind ruled by curious Mercury. So the change from Cancer – family, the emotions and very much about nurturing functions is now more about the discernment between the emotional triggers and the facts. The ‘feeling’ nature is not as attached to the actual circumstances in our lives. The NN is about what we should be moving towards, like our ‘true north.’ It’s about growth and expansion. The SN in Sagittarius speaks to belief systems and consciousness and now needing this left brain to merge with the right brain in order to expand one’s belief systems. The lower vibration of Sagittarius tends to make one feel they are right all the time and refuses to take on new information or concepts. Assuming we know what others are thinking, so ask the questions and also work on really listening.
Also this new phase is very reflective of this surge in technology lately. Especially since Venus has now moved into Gemini as of 3/4 and with the onset of Covid-19. She stays here until August as she goes Retrograde on 14/5. This is not then a great time to decide to marry or start what may look like a serious commitment in a relationship. The retrograde motion and especially with the planet of love and relationships – Venus, can really present some U-turns and speed bumps. I would recommend waiting until at least mid August for any serious commitment or clear communication around these issues. Also we’ll see Mercury retrograde from mid June to mid July, so another reason to be patient and see it out until calmer energies prevail in the middle of 2020. The retrogrades will make us all feel that the year is dragging somewhat as well, already a very strange year indeed.
This is a great year for introspection however. The earth is feeling the benefits with less pollution and human traffic in general, as different as it is for many, it’s definitely a year of shifting from one reality to another. On the 12/5 Saturn stations for his retrograde journey in Aquarius to the 30/9 and then it’s back into Capricorn. He moves into Capricorn again as he moves backwards on 3/7, so this freeing up of constrictions is evident with the swings between Aquarius (freedom) and Capricorn (restrictions, boundaries).
With Mercury moving into Gemini on 12/5 we will feel a speeding up in general as this is Gemini’s ruler and Gemini does not do ‘slow’ very well. Of course the retrograde motion may put the brakes on in mid June so avoid any big financial decisions or buying or selling of investments or housing etc. during this time frame. We have a lot of planets going retrograde this year. Mercury on 12/5, Venus on 14/5, Jupiter on 15/5, Saturn on 12/5 Uranus on 15/8, Neptune on 23/6 & Pluto on 26/4. The outer planets aren’t really felt in the same way as the closer personal planets such as Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.
So with this powerfully intense full moon in Scorpio, just be aware of the closures, secrets, possible betrayals and endings in your life. If you know what house the moon is in it will really help you see where this focus is. Trust and betrayals are highlighted. Scorpio and his modern ruler – Pluto are both related to sexual matters, wealth, other people’s money, the psyche. Again, secrets may be revealed in any or all of these arena’s. Also in the world at large. Jupiter as well will help to open this up as he resides also in Capricorn as does Pluto, ruling corporations and big business in general. Also at this time Venus in Gemini makes a square aspect to Neptune in Pisces. Gemini = information and Neptune = lack of clarity and deception. There are many layers of truth everywhere at this time and also a yearning for romantic love with Venus aspecting the visionary and dreamy Neptune. It’s not so comfortable especially with this current social distancing, but it can shine a light on the struggles of any relationships. It’s not all negative though as we are seeing some really beautiful expressions of love and compassion during this incredible time. Scorpio helps us all to dig deep and explore the depths of our souls. He has a way of shining a laser beam on certain issues and helps us to ultimately achieve great results for our highest good.
I wish you all well and hope you are well and thriving in your own individual ways. Dig deep and keep positive, practice daily meditations, commune with nature, take time to think about how your life can better serve you and how you can better serve the world around you.
