Full Moon in Scorpio: Deeper Down and In

Full Moon in Scorpio: Deeper Down and In

Moon opposite Sun- 5/7/20 @ 5:48am CDT

The Flower Moon is full while many collective shifts are taking place, ushering us into new phases of this endurance test we are all going through.  On the 5^th, the lunar nodes shifted from the Cancer-Capricorn axis (Cardinal Water and Earth) into the Gemini-Sagittarius axis (Mutable Air and Fire).  This is an initiation to a two-and-a-half year cycle of new lessons for the Collective Soul.  The Soul directive now is to release some past beliefs and ways of envisioning our world so that we may open up to new information, new ideas, and new ways of communicating. 

We are also about to embark on multiple retrograde journeys in the week ahead with Saturn, Venus, then Jupiter joining Pluto as a Cosmic Clean Up Crew.  It’s a time of shifting perspectives…looking at things with wiser eyes.  Retrograde planets are in the part of their cycle where they come closer to Earth.  So this tends to shift the focus inward, bringing all that is happening even closer to Home.  In these Retrograde times, we often retrace some steps…finding something important that we may have previously missed so that we can eventually integrate that wisdom into the Collective Storyline.

This Scorpio Full Moon brings us to the threshold of deep soul changes that must occur…much like a rebirth.  Often the rebirth is very personal, very internal, for each of us…but it carries an impact for the Collective rebirth.  This Moon is potent and transformational…you can feel it opening us up to what wants to change.

The luminaries have some support at this time from both Mercury (conjunct Sun in Taurus) and Neptune in Pisces in flowing aspects.  This can be a very inspiring time…but remember:  Attention is the Coin of the Realms.  So what you are paying attention to will be integral to your experience.  Are you paying Fear or Love with your attention?  We’re in Taurus Season, so what you give to will grow. 

Mercury can lend a voice to the magic within this time…sending the messages through the loving earth of Taurus.  And Neptune brings in some creative and spiritual opportunities that we can dream into being.  On the flip side of this coin though is some confusion through mixed messages.  Connect with your intuition to find the flow that you really need right now.  Take your time, no need to rush in these vibrations.  Planets are slowing down to station and the Taurus-Scorpio axis of our luminaries coaxes us to be more deliberate with our process.  Taurus inclines us to savor the experience and Scorpio inclines deepening the investigation of what we truly desire.  You may want to ‘sit for a spell’, allow the unfolding to occur within.

 

Interestingly, all this is happening in the midst of questions of ‘relaxing restrictions’ so that things may return to ‘normal’.  Outward activity is somewhat at odds with the cosmic message at this time, and ‘normal’ is already a passing and transforming concept.  Yet, many are feeling the need to break out from this transitional period we’ve been in for months already.  A message to do the internal work this time is calling for is not so welcome for those who want to resume ‘business as usual’.  The full shift of this time has not completely occurred.  It is an uncomfortable transition year we’re in, yes…but an outward push to get back in action may be premature.  It could be like opening up a chrysalis before the butterfly is ready.  There is a natural timing underlying this shift that needs much more patience than what is being collectively displayed. 

Scorpio often brings up these crisis points where we see what we’re made of.  And a Full Moon is inherently an opposition of the luminaries…which calls for finding a balance between opposing sides.  Extremes are often illuminated in Scorpio Moon light; it can take us to our edges.  Instead of getting pulled to one extreme or another, Taurus urges us to find some common ground from which we can grow.

P.S.  The evening before this Full Moon, I discussed Rites of Passage with Amanda Pua Walsh of Astrology Hub...as Humanity is collectively going through an important Rite of Passage this year.  I hope it will inspire others to look at the many transitions of our lives in new ways.  You can view/listen here:  Rites of Passage.
