The stirring of change, deep feelings rising to the surface, pulled between past and future, fated endings and beginnings, mystery and chaos…
The energies are building toward the culmination of eclipse season – Friday’s lunar eclipse in Scorpio – and it’s intense.
The eclipse conjoins with the South Node, signifying karmic completions. We’re being shown what is ready to be released, composted, healed or alchemized so we can create a new reality aligned with what we love and value.
This extra-potent full moon coincides with true Beltane – the cross-quarter holyday marking the halfway point between equinox and solstice and celebrating the beauty, abundance and fertility of the natural world.
The eclipsed Scorpio Moon opposes the Beltane Sun in Taurus, revealing what needs to die so we can become more ALIVE.
This eclipse asks: Are you just getting by, or truly thriving? What’s holding you back from living your best life? Where have you lost your power, merging with others’ emotional pain rather than grounding in your own frequency? What are the old childhood, familial and ancestral traumas that have kept you stuck in self-destructive patterns?
Uranus conjoins the Sun and opposes the Moon, amplifying the potential to break through and break free, to make a radical separation from the past and take a quantum leap into a new reality. The Uranian energy can feel speedy, extreme, chaotic and wild… but we’re advised to move slowly, pay attention to the body’s needs and messages, and take time to feel whatever comes up.
For more insight into what this full moon means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 14° Scorpio.
The areas of life represented by that house are where major changes are stirring, strong feelings are rising to the surface, and events are coming to culmination and completion. And, where you’re invited to:
Release what no longer serves you and what you may be holding onto out of fear rather than desire;
Free yourself from old patterns and attachments based on early childhood or ancestral trauma;
Acknowledge the truth of your feelings and desires, face your shadow, and love all the parts of yourself that arise;
Reclaim your emotional authority and power and break through internal limits.
In my 47-minute full moon recording, I go into all the details about how you can best navigate and co-create with these powerful planetary energies.
