★ALL Full Moons have the strongest effect on us 3 days prior and up to 3 days after★
The Moon is Full in Scorpio 2 °, the sign of the Scorpio, on Thursday, April 21st, at 10:24pm {pacific time}.
Full Moons are a time of Manifestation, Contemplation, Balance, Realization and Letting Go!
This Full Moon in SCORPIO is opposite our Sun in Taurus. Scorpio is a Water sign that is about self-mastery, determination and focus, living from the soul, intuition, looking beneath the surface, mystery and secrets, transforming and rising above struggles and obstacles, expressing sexuality, passion, and living on purpose, empowered. This energy can also come across as intense, jealous, manipulative, resentful, seeking revenge, power hungry, obsessive, secretive, too secretive, calculating, and unwilling to let go.
Anytime a Full Moon is here we need to focus on BALANCE. Our goal is to balance the opposite energies of the Sun {personality/character} and the Moon {Mood/Emotions} as they oppose each other in the sky, pushing and pulling in opposite directions, this puts our energy at odds.
With Sun in Taurus and Full Moon in Scorpio you need to find balance between material and spiritual importance. Inner needs vs. material wants and desires. What makes you happy at your deepest core vs. what material needs support that. Being overly concerned with material wealth and values vs. soul/spiritual wealth and values. Physical stability vs. emotional stability. Logic vs. suspicion.
Are you overly concerned with what you own putting too much value on the material side of life? Or do you overemphasize the psychological, getting lost in the depth of emotions without considering logic and the physical world?
What are you overly obsessive about?
Are you so caught up in emotion that you make things more intense and dramatic then they need to be?
Are you holding grudges, resentments, and wanting revenge for things from the past?
Can you stay grounded while still appreciating the depth of your emotions?
Mars went retrograde on Sunday, April 17th and will stay that way until June 29th. Pluto went retrograde on Monday, April 18th and will stay that way until September 26th. Both of these are Scorpio’s ruling planets. When planets go retrograde it brings our focus around that planet more inward and reflective in nature. Mars is the planet of action, anger, and force. When it goes retrograde it is bringing up anger issues and how you deal with conflict. Whether you suppress it, run away from it, or whether you direct it outward or inward. Issues with anger from yourself or from others directing it toward you will come up now to be dealt with and possibly in an unexpected and not so pretty way. Pluto is the planet of power, transformation, control, and intensity. When it goes retrograde it deals with control, power and compulsion. This shows you where in your life you are being controlling, smothering, jealous, or having a deep need and inner struggle to make things or people go your way or do what you want. This could also bring your awareness towards what or who in your life is controlling you and in turn, inhibiting your spiritual or personal growth.
With the Full Moon in Scorpio your deepest and darkest desires are brought to light. They want full expression, or at least acknowledgment, in order to be released. First, you must understand them and not be afraid. Then you can transform them and rise above. Fantasies around sexuality, revenge, power, and control emerge now. With the Moon trine Neptune you will easily get lost in your own private world of fantasy and imagination. Find healthy ways to express your needs in the real/physical world. Feelings are intensified and you could be overly sensitive now.
Affirmation:
“I easily find myself choosing good over evil: the high road of integrity that is best for me in every area of my life”
Mars is squaring Jupiter and Neptune and this asks you to use self-control and avoid trying to escape, or getting discouraged when things get intense as they will when the full moon is in Scorpio. Remember you are in control of yourself and your growth. You are empowered when you own ALL of who you are, ALL of what you feel, and ALL of your secrets, desires and needs.
Pluto is squaring Venus and Uranus conjunct. Your urges, compulsions, psychological issues will be addressed in your relationships with others. Destruction may ensue unexpectedly and that is because there is change and growth happening beneath the surface. Some bridges need to be burnt in order for you to find full growth and expansion that you may not yet see or fully understand. Make sure that you are not being controlled or manipulated into staying in tumultuous, jealous, and hurtful relationships that are no longer serving you and those involved. You are NOT trapped. You can break free from whatever is holding you back you just have to realize you can. Everyone deserves to be who they are without blame, criticism or guilt. Love and acceptance of your intense feelings and needs is what is needed now. Instead of hating on yourself for what you feel or desire, strive to understand and reinvent. How can you rise above it? How can you learn from it? How can you transform it?
“Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.”
HEALTH
YogaSTARology: Belly Bonfire Breath in, Malasana, Yogi Squat.
Affirmation:
“Total healing occurs in the area of my reproductive system, bladder and/or prostate. I release any blocks or disturbances in this area of my body. I am well.”
Benefits: Helps to open hips and bring energy to the low belly, bladder, prostate and reproductive system connected with Scorpio.
Directions: Come to your feet and squat all the way down, bringing your seat towards the floor. Soles of feet stay grounded. If your heels won’t come to the ground you can stay on the balls of your feet and support yourself with a folded up blanket or pillow under your heels. Begin with your hands in front of you, on the ground for support and lengthen your spine. This helps you to lift up out of your waist and create space in the lower abdomen. You can bring your hands to your heart in prayer and use your elbows to press into your inner knees, press your knees into your elbows.
Breath: Breathe deeply through your nose. Inhale into your low belly and feel everything relax, soften, and expand. Exhale and feel the low belly tighten, contract, and draw in and up towards your navel. Bathroom muscles and more. Inhale, expands and softens the area. Exhale, lifts, tightens and contracts.
Repeat for 1-3mins
LESSON
★ Use that Scorpio focus and determination to rebuild your life in a way that suits your soul.
★ You don’t have to be jealous of anything. Jealousy is your soul’s way of telling you that you want that which you are ‘jealous’ of. You can have it too. Go for it.
★ Embrace your shadow side. Love the intensity for the insight it brings.
★ Let go of your attachment to how things were. Allow for the old to die so the new may be born.
★ Check yourself before you wreck yourself. 😉
