The Hidden Forces Beneath
A calm lake bathes in full moonlight. But what hidden forces lie beneath? This is the question posed by the mysterious and powerful Scorpio Full Moon. We arrive at the peak of the cycle that began with the intention to harness courage at the Aries New Moon on April 11th.
The Sacred In The Ordinary
Full Moons describe the natural human condition of dealing with paradox. In this case, the practical stability of the earthy Taurus Sun opposes the intense, transforming concerns of the Scorpio Moon. Taurus establishes material resources and maintains tranquility, sometimes to the fault of becoming possessive and obstinate. On the other hand, Scorpio demands depth and passion, diving beneath to investigate psychological ramifications. Descending too far means getting ensnared in obsession or negativity.
Finding the sweet spot between Taurus and Scorpio means eliminating accumulated detritus and turning turmoil into practical accomplishment. We recover a sense of the sacred in the ordinary. It becomes possible to be vulnerable AND grounded in our most intimate relationships.
Constructive Use Of Power
This Full Moon tangles with the most prominent theme of the year, as we continue to witness seismic shifts in the old paradigm. This struggle ripples across all levels of society, drawing our attention to race inequity and supply chain issues. The Scorpio Moon shines a penetrating light through the thin veneer of niceties, revealing the rusting undergirding beneath. This is the time to grapple with the constructive use of power and systemic transformation.
