Full Moon in Scorpio
Friday, May 1 at 1:23 PM EST, we have a full moon in Scorpio. Full moons are the peak of the lunar cycle when the sun and the moon are in opposing signs. The sun, our conscious mind, is in Taurus, and the moon, our subconscious mind, is in Scorpio. Taurus is an earth sign. It's grounded, stable, slow but steady. It focuses on material and physical security finances, the sensual, the tangible. Scorpio, a water sign, focuses on depth, truth, transformation, intimacy, and power. Where Taurus wants physical security, Scorpio wants emotional security.
With our conscious and subconscious mind being in these opposing energies, it creates friction, tension and things that we may have tucked away coming to surface. The Taurus Scorpio axis emphasizes security, especially financial security. Scorpio is also emphasizing hidden truths, emotional depths, things we may have tried to hide, ignore or control, coming to light.
This Full Moon in Scorpio is asking you to trust the process of release. Taurus builds the new foundation. Scorpio clears the old rubble. Both are necessary.
During this full moon, we also have a mercury Chiron conjunction. Conjunctions are when to planetary bodies are right next to each other, emphasizing each other's energies. Mercury, the planet of communication, how we think, speak, share and process information, will be right next to Chiron and asteroid called the wounded healer. Chiron shows where we have our deepest wounds, but also greatest gifts. With mercury, how we process information, and Chiron, our deepest wounds, amplifying each other's energies, this full moon could be particularly sensitive, enlightening, or transformative. It's asking us to pay attention to where we need to heal where we need to let go of things where we need to speak our truth. If you've been holding off on important conversations, avoiding emotions or simply not stepping into your power out of fear or lack mindset this full moon will illuminate what needs healing. What pain is asking to be voiced? What story am I ready to rewrite? What truth could set me free if I allowed myself to speak it?
