J-Ma’s Moon Influences
SUNDAY, MAY 3rd 2015
8:42pm Pacific Time
★ALL Full Moons have the strongest effect on us 3 days prior and up to 3 days after ★
The Moon is Full in Scorpio on Sunday, May 3rd, at 8:42pm {pacific time}
Full Moons are a time of Manifestation, Contemplation, Balance, Realization and Letting Go!
This Full Moon is in Scorpio, opposite our Sun in Taurus. Scorpio is a fixed, water sign that is very perceptive, intuitive, tenacious, dedicated, sexual, loyal and focused. This energy can also be jealous, attached, resentful, manipulative and secretive. The influence of Scorpio is not overly trusting or open, and having the Full Moon illuminate our deep dark places can feel a little uncomfortable.
Being opposite our Sun in Taurus, where the focus is more materialistic in nature, a balance needs to be found between the physical {Taurus} and spiritual {Scorpio} worlds. Allowing your need to understand the deep, psychological, underlying spiritual meaning of everything to be BALANCED with a sensible, logical, and pragmatic perspective. It’s time to have an understanding of not only one or the other, but BOTH. Seeing the value in this physical, material world and keeping your feet firmly planted while still having a deeper understanding of the mysterious, the underworld of emotions, desires and the unseen.
Full Moon in Scorpio ignites our suspicions and a knowing that there is something more than this physical existence. While at the same time knowing that for all that exists beyond what we see, we are still living on this physical, material plane of existence. And what is here now, in front of you NOW, all that you see, taste, touch, and feel is just as important as what lies beneath, beyond, and within. There is something very spiritual about being here now, a deeper intelligence in living within this present reality.
Are you escaping your physical reality by hiding behind spirituality and avoiding your practical responsibilities?
Where are you giving into your desires and emotions and completely disregarding logic?
Are you so focused on the spiritual and emotional world that you have forgotten the importance of your physical body and what it means to show up and work for what you want?
Is transformation so important to you that you cannot see the value in who you already are?
The intensity and transformation we’ve experienced lately is beginning to sink into our psyche. We have crumbled, collapsed into a pile, broken into a million pieces, and turned to ash – only to rise again. Rebuilding, renewed, stronger and more resilient than ever. We are beginning to see now why the destruction was necessary and how our recent struggles and losses have reshaped our life and destiny for the better.
I know it’s been hard. Letting go is hard. And Scorpio energy isn’t particularly a fan of releasing attachments. What was loved was loved with every inch of your being, heart and soul, and then it was ripped away. Now you are trying to pick up the pieces. Wondering what went wrong and how you can rise above. You don’t have to know HOW, You just have to know YOU CAN. YOU WILL. YOU ARE.
There is also peace in knowing that what has been lost in your physical, everyday life and can no longer be experienced with your five senses, still has a place in the unseen and in your heart. Though it may have changed form, it can still be felt, loved and appreciated for what it once was and what it now is.
There is a tendency toward extremism now with the Sun {personality} & Moon {emotions} squaring Jupiter {overindulgence & exaggeration}. We can blow things out of proportion and push it to the limit if we’re not careful. For the most part this influence can bring you a sense of confidence, new opportunity, the ability to win others over and dedicate yourself to your artistic pursuits and a higher cause. Use caution when expressing your beliefs that you do not become overly self-righteous in your approach and attempts to win others over to your side, perspective and spiritual beliefs.
There is not a trace of shallowness with the Moon in Scorpio. Moon sextile Pluto brings an intrigue of the mysterious, psychology, the occult, astrology and anything that requires deep thinking, investigation, or personal transformation. There is not much interest in superficial encounters under this full moon’s influence. Watch for becoming obsessive or controlling in any parts of your personal life. Any areas of your life that have become distorted or difficult can be cleaned up now.
Sun Trine Pluto indicates we really have an ability to examine our underlying motivations and what changes you need to make in order for your life to run more smoothly and for you to live more deeply. There is a strong force at your disposal. Use this energy to continue moving upward and onward.
At the time of this Full Moon there is a need to withdraw into your inner, spiritual, dream world. Escaping into fantasy and away from reality seems quite delightful. Imagination is strong. Sensitivity, and artistic ability is increased.
Delve into the intensities and mysteries of life, without reserve. Be unafraid of the complexities, your dark, shadowy side and the unknown. Deepen your spirituality but beware of getting on a high horse and allowing a ‘holier than thou’ attitude run away with you. Caution that ego is at work when you believe you’re a savior, or that it is okay to condemn those whose beliefs are different from your own. GROUND your spirituality into REALITY.
Know that you can help but you cannot SAVE. Know that you can teach but you cannot convince. Know that we are ALL on our own journey of understanding and transformation. You are doing your best and so is everyone else.
PLUTO RETROGRADE
Pluto began its retrograde phase on April 16th and will continue in this introspective movement until through September 24th. This gives us a chance to review and examine all of the recent changes in our life. We are looking much deeper within and reexamining what needs to disintegrate and be rebuilt. What needs to be processed fully and completely in order for us to gain better control over our life?
“Pluto helps us accept that solutions are not possible until we can clearly see what the problems are.” ~Anne Reith
Pluto represents destruction, endings, evolution, and transformation. The area of your chart that Pluto retrograde falls in, is the area of your life where you will feel a need to eliminate and renew.

” Overall, this Full Moon in Scorpio is asking us to stay in touch with our feelings (Scorpio) while still realizing that we need to be realistic about the use of our resources (Taurus). Several planetary aspects at the time of the Full Moon provide us with an opportunity to clear out the clutter in our lives, including anything that is hidden or suppressed in our subconscious. This excavation may not be comfortable given the emotionality of Moon in Scorpio, but the tension motivates us to take action, which could lead to major breakthroughs in how we view the world and ourselves. We need to be sure to use this supportive energy to purge what no longer serves us and to keep asking ourselves what is our hearts desire. And it may help to remember that sometimes, “You must be brave enough to release something good to make the space for something great.” (Cheryl Richardson) “ ~Anne Reith
LOVE
Venus, planet of love, is in the sign of Gemini until May 7th when it moves into Cancer. Love is playful, flirtatious & lighthearted. We are more talkative with our loved one. Variety is the name of the game when Venus is in Gemini. We seek experiences and change. Keep things interesting by doing new and different things with your partner, spending time with friends, playing games and anything that is mentally stimulating.
When Venus moves into Cancer you will prefer a more quiet time, tender moments, time spent at home and with your family. You are more affectionate, temperamental, sensitive and romantic. You will prefer security over fun.
If single, you will start off the month not wanting to settle down as much as to have fun and meet many new and entertaining potential romantic interests. Once Venus has moved into Cancer you will prefer to slow it down, feeling drawn to those you are more comfortable and familiar with.
HEALTH
YOGA EXERCISE: Upavista Konasana-Wide Angle Seated Forward Bend
Scorpio is connected to the Reproductive organs. Sit in this pose with your feet flexed/flointed-Toes turn toward your shin and press forward through the balls of your feet. Grounded into both sitting bones evenly & firmly, lift up out of your waist, creating space in the low abdomen. Sit up tall with a long spine and relaxed shoulders.
Bring your hands to your low belly and begin to breathe deeply through your nose. Focus on drawing the breath into your low belly as you breathe in, feel the low belly expand into your hands and the whole low abdomen and internal muscles & organs relax. As you exhale feel the low belly contract away from your hands and towards the spine. Drawing the energy up from the perineum, bathroom muscles and more, draw in & lift up toward your heart. Visualize light and healing coming into this part of your body.
Sit up tall for at least 7 or 11 deep breaths {inhale and exhale}. Then, fold forward and hold 3minutes continuing to breathe deeply into the low belly and hips.
BENEFITS: This pose is grounding. You are massaging the reproductive organs with the breath, you are bringing energy and healing to this area of your body.
