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,
Claudia
