Dear Moonsurfers,This Full Moon set up is big celestial news.
For starters, it's the first of two consecutive Full Moons in Scorpio...which is more potent and a much bigger deal than a Blue Moon. (A Blue Moon is the 2nd of two Full Moons occurring in the same month.) You're potentially in a time of great shifts and the initiation of a deep release process is indicated by the Sun and Moon rising at the very first degree of Taurus and emotionally intense Scorpio respectively.
The pressure to let go will peak when the next Scorpio Full Moon occurs at the last degree on May 19th.
Plus Pluto, ruler of Scorpio, is moving in retrograde motion at the first degree of Capricorn guiding your journey deeper on an inner level, so you can review your methods and tactics.
And...here's the big celestial news...the Moon heads up four planets forming a cosmic kite. This dynamic pattern motivates you and ramps up the potential for you to make a great shift.
Three of the four planets involved are at 1º of fertile feminine earth signs bringing your values, money, and the way you handle material resources to your attention. To make the best use of this energy, heart-centered tactics and strategies along with consistent practical steps, accountability, commitment, and patience are called for.
You may feel challenged to maintain your equilibrium now, because some of the volatile energies you've been experiencing since the New Moon...the anger and fear or downright ego displays you've been witnessing or perhaps taking part in... are in effect until April 24th. Continue being sensitive to the needs of others...relationships and your interactions with others are a big key to successful navigation. Also, remember that writing in your Aries Lunar Journal is a great way to stay on track.
The Aries New Moon two weeks ago spurred you to make a fresh start and leave the past behind...and this Full Moon set up says the universe is helping you out. For clues to where you keep hanging on...look back in your lunar journal to the Scorpio New Moon six months ago on November 9th. You were preparing for a quantum leap then and you used forgiveness and the power of surrender to release old wounds and patterns. You also vowed to focus on feeling the exciting possibilities waiting for you in this "1" year and jettison the emotional drag of the unreleased past.
As you look back, if you feel your ability to move forward continues to be held back by old stuff, this Full Moon will put you in touch with just what that stuff is.
From this Full Moon to the next you're in the midst of a major shift culminating in a grand letting go. It's wise to spend some time recharging your spiritual connection now, because the planetary dance I mentioned initiates a deep release process leading to transformation and rebirth in some area of your life. You can find out what area of your life is ripe for rebirth and how to make your labor easier with a personal reading.
It's time to choose the unfamiliar path. Ask yourself what no longer works, what you want to grow, and how you could be a better gardener of both your life and of this exquisite planet.
"Transformation means literally going beyond your form" says Wayne Dyer... and that's the promise of what's being set in motion now. Stay in touch with the truth of the love that you are at the core of your being... then you need not fear... you'll weather the process. But you'll be so much lighter... more playful... like a kite soaring.
