These are powerful times and this Full Moon in Scorpio adds intensity and a sense of urgency. All around the world things seem to be teetering and unstable. Even some of our former allies appear to be pulling away. When the Moon is in Scorpio,emotions and passions run deep and bring strong opinions to the surface. Scorpio is a water sign with a powerful and fixed sense of purpose and acute focus. Scorpio needs quiet and alone time to gain perspective and not lash out with that Scorpio stinger. This would be a good time to stay calm and out of the fray, no mater what your astrological sign, until Mercury is out of its storm phase on the 13th and beyond its conjunction to Uranus in Aries on the 20th. Very little good can come into a situation and stick as communications are mitigated by big changes and unexpected and aggressive shifts from Uranus in Aries.
With the Sun in Taurus, however, we feel an inner drive for harmony and balance. This energy is the polar opposite of Scorpio and lends more discipline to the urge to lose control. Remember that you are ultimate responsible for your responses to any situation. Taurus energy also pushes us to be more creative and to be in nature. These are high frequency energies which nurture and restore us. Find time for art and gardening and love in all its forms. Remember too that Taurus is a fixed sigh as is Scorpio. This means that you prefer at this time to have your will be the deciding factor in what you do. You will not like being bossed around or pushed until you decide you are ready to move.
Mercury, the lower mind, and Uranus, the higher mind, while in a conjunction, can spur futuristic ideas and flashes of insight, while working in the positive. But caution is required as it can produce sudden bursts of anger and impatience. These to mind generators are also in a trine to Saturn in Sagittarius. Saturn represents the structure, duty and work side of things. What work do you need to do or finish up to claim your reward or desire. Use the good idea aspects of Mercury and Uranus to inspire your commitment to do your personal work. On a global level these energies are helping inspire ideas that will help humanity moving forward to create structures that are sustainable and healthy for our earth and in the best interest of us all. Send your love and blessings to those on the front lines of this critically important work.
In addition to the above mentioned aspects, there is a lovely trine with this Scorpio Full Moon and Neptune and Chiron in Pisces.This can bring a sweet healing and compassionate element to your spiritual pursuits and your relationships. This Full Moon window of the next couple of days is a good time for you to spend quiet time in meditation or conversation with your God and your guides to deepen and broaden your spiritual practice and connection. This is the time you can get more clear about what your soul wants you to do next. Follow that instruction.
