Scorpio Full Moon – May 18, 2019; 2:11pm PDT Scorpio is the most intensely emotional sign in the zodiac. Where Scorpio resides in your chart, feelings go deep. They are either easily accessed and blazing for all the world to see or buried so deeply only a ‘journey to the center of the earth’ expedition could drag them out. Scorpio is ruled by intensely powerful and secretive, Pluto, so during a Full Moon with this intensity, things hidden are suddenly revealed or emotions long suppressed surface. Feelings will run high so it’s important that we remain aware of how we interact with others. This Full Moon time is also psychically sensitive so pay attention to ‘downloads’ and aha moments that come to you. All Full Moons are a time for releasing, but a Scorpio Full Moon gives an additional push to this. An excellent use of this energy is to allow the old baggage to surface so that it can finally be released. In order to rebuild, we must demolish first. Use this energy to begin the process.
Mars remains out-of-bounds until June 12th and reaches its most extreme position around May 19th. I’ll spare you the technical explanation of what it means for a planet to be out-of-bounds and just say that when a planet is in this position its expression is more ‘unbounded’ – it is an exaggerated version of itself. Mars is typically associated with words like assertion, aggression, warrior, courage, initiation, and ambition. At the time of the Full Moon, Mars sits on the World Axis at 1º Cancer. This brings the tendency for the aggressive or assertive nature of Mars to be projected out onto the world stage. Mars in the sign of Cancer shades the energy with insecurity and vulnerability so during this Full Moon, many of us may feel unsure of our worth, particularly in relationship. The feelings of vulnerability are emphasized by Mars’ square to Chiron (the Wounded Healer). Be aware that unkind words or situations may trigger long suppressed trauma and wounding.
Uranus and Venus are also combining their energy at this Full Moon which can stimulate a desire for freedom and independence. This combination can also bring a romantic involvement from ‘out of the blue’. If that happens for you, hold onto your hat because you’re in for a wild ride. Fortunately, with emotions stimulated and running high there is a heavy emphasis on the Earth element now. Use the grounding effect of this energy by getting out into nature. If you feel like you want to blow your top or run for the hills, go hug a tree.
