The Scorpio Full Moon marks a massive change point. What’s been repressed, hidden, avoided, denied… is rising into awareness, demanding to be acknowledged and felt. Significant life chapters, projects and relationships are coming to culmination – and completion.
This Full Moon is both a Total Lunar Eclipse and a Supermoon. As lunar energies are living large, the tides of emotion rise and the collective cosmic weather turns tempestuous (“stormy” didn’t seem like a strong enough adjective).
We’re advised to lean into the Taurus North Node – to get grounded in our own bodies and energy fields, rooted within our center and to the Earth, and become the eye of the storm. Helpful: unplugging from media, spending time in nature, putting bare feet on the ground and hands in the dirt, doing something kind and loving for our bodies.
The Moon will conjoin the Scorpio South Node – the karmic past – highlighting what we’ve outgrown, what’s become stagnant, what we need to release and purge. Scorpio is the sign of death, rebirth and regeneration – what do we need to let go of to reenergize our vitality and create the life we really want?
Leading up to this epic eclipse of endings and release, Jupiter just moved into Aries, for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter in Aries sparks excitement about the future, catalyzes our courage to create, and marks the opening of a whole new chapter.
As we purge the past, we can have faith in our own ability to initiate a new direction, to reinvent ourselves and our lives, to start a new story. The more we’re willing to let go of what we’ve outgrown, the more energy we free up for the new.
To get more specific about what this Eclipse means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 25° Scorpio. The areas of your life signified 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;
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 break through internal limits;
Make or break a commitment.
In my one-hour Full Moon recording, I go into all the Virgoan details about this game-changing time and how you can best navigate the wild ride.
I cover:
Mercury turning retrograde as Jupiter moves into Aries (big turnarounds!);
Mars in Pisces conjunct Neptune as the key to this eclipse (aligning with spirit and going with the flow);
Saturn squaring the Nodes AND the eclipse (karmic crossroads culmination);
and more!
