Full Moon Energy

May 19, 2008

The following article comes from www.moonsurfing.com. I 
love the simple truth astrology can provide us...enjoy. 
 
The 2nd of two rare consecutive Scorpio Full Moons in a row 
is on the rise. 
 
Scorpio represents such emotionally intense and complex 
energy that it takes 4 symbols to describe and encompass 
its journey of transformation...from Scorpion (stinging 
itself or others to express power or hide pain), to snake 
(shedding the constricting skin of the past), to phoenix 
(rising from destruction into rebirth), and finally, the 
eagle (able to soar higher and see father than any other 
bird). I'll bet you're seeing one or more of these 
archetypal energies at work somewhere in your life. 
 
Adding major stress to an already-intense Full Moon is a 
planetary face-off in all four fixed signs (Taurus, 
Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius). This really ratchets up the 
intensity...especially if you were born with planets in 
those signs...underscoring the need to LET GO, so you can 
turn some corners. It may feel VERY unsettling, but it's a 
divinely designed reality check guaranteed to increase your 
awareness of what's not working...demanding you face your 
illusions and peel away some significant layers of 
stuckness. It's time to change or be changed, so be ready 
and willing to move out of your comfort zone. Positive 
constructive focus is really a key to your sanity now and 
this makes your lunar journal indispensable. 
 
When that first Scorpio Full Moon occurred at 0º on April 
20th, you were called to initiate a process of physical and 
emotional release in at least two areas of your life. Now 
this 2nd Scorpio Full Moon at 29º...the last or "critical" 
degree...indicates that a phase has come to an end in these 
areas and a test regarding your mastery of the lessons is 
being presented. Wherever this Full Moon shines its light 
in your natal chart tells you where transformation is 
underway. If you'd like to know what areas these are, what 
this means for you, and how to make the most of 
it...contact me to schedule an appointment for a personal 
reading. 
 
The last Full Moon provided a 6-month checkpoint for the 
intentions you seeded at the time of the New Moon in 
Scorpio on November 9th. Your insights told you where you 
had more forgiveness and release work to do regarding old 
hurts and undermining habits. This Full Moon reveals how 
well you've used those insights, what's still not working, 
and where completion is now called for. 
 
These reference points I speak of really clarify things and 
they're easy to check back on IF you've been lunar 
journaling. If you haven't shared this experience with 
us...don't wait to get this "insider information", you'll 
have me handy to inspire you on a phase-by-phase basis, and 
you'll be using the rhythms of the universe to create and 
attract the life you really desire. 
 
A new order and new life...that's what it's about in this 
"1" year...that's what you've been working on for some 
time. It's as though the planets themselves are conspiring 
to kick-start your journey through the birth canal...and 
the process that really began with your intentions for 2008 
will culminate at the time of the Summer Solstice. You'll 
want to streamline your evolutionary journey if possible, 
right?...be as free of old excess baggage as possible...and 
that's what this challenging lunation encourages you to do. 
 
Pluto rules this Full Moon, and it's moving in retrograde 
motion...hovering at the portal (that's 00º) to 
Capricorn...reminding you that tranformation begins 
internally, and truly owning your power implies 
responsibility. Heavyweight energy?...yes, but you also 
have the opportunity now and throughout the summer to 
explore new methods and tactics and reflect on your 
long-range goals and the beliefs that will and won't take 
you there. 
 
Two Scorpio Full Moons brought you a double dose of Pluto's 
sometimes terrifying alchemical powers of death and 
rebirth. However, the Sun in Taurus has lit up both of 
these Full Moons, meaning you're also getting a double dose 
of Venus. And therein lies the key to successful navigation 
of these deep turbulent waters...beauty, grace...and most 
importantly, love. (All Venus strengths.) Taurus highlights 
your values...so make love your highest value and the 
beauty and grace are sure to follow. 
 
Transformation comes from "trans" meaning change, and it's 
not like changing your favorite color. It's deeper and more 
profound...like the caterpillar becoming a butterfly...a 
complete metamorphosis. 
 
You're currently in the chrysalis stage as significant 
endings and new beginnings are occurring. Remember to take 
care of your body, spend time connecting with nature and 
the earth, reflect and acknowledge your true feelings, 
and... forgive everyone and everything... especially 
yourself. Then prepare to spread your wings. 
 
With Lots of Loving Full Moon Blessings,
