Full Moon Energy

The following article comes from www.moonsurfing.com. I love the simple truth astrology can provide us...enjoy.

The 2nd of two rare consecutive Scorpio Full Moons in a row is on the rise.

Scorpio represents such emotionally intense and complex energy that it takes 4 symbols to describe and encompass its journey of transformation...from Scorpion (stinging itself or others to express power or hide pain), to snake (shedding the constricting skin of the past), to phoenix (rising from destruction into rebirth), and finally, the eagle (able to soar higher and see father than any other bird). I'll bet you're seeing one or more of these archetypal energies at work somewhere in your life.

Adding major stress to an already-intense Full Moon is a planetary face-off in all four fixed signs (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius). This really ratchets up the intensity...especially if you were born with planets in those signs...underscoring the need to LET GO, so you can turn some corners. It may feel VERY unsettling, but it's a divinely designed reality check guaranteed to increase your awareness of what's not working...demanding you face your illusions and peel away some significant layers of stuckness. It's time to change or be changed, so be ready and willing to move out of your comfort zone. Positive constructive focus is really a key to your sanity now and this makes your lunar journal indispensable.

When that first Scorpio Full Moon occurred at 0º on April 20th, you were called to initiate a process of physical and emotional release in at least two areas of your life. Now this 2nd Scorpio Full Moon at 29º...the last or "critical" degree...indicates that a phase has come to an end in these areas and a test regarding your mastery of the lessons is being presented. Wherever this Full Moon shines its light in your natal chart tells you where transformation is underway. If you'd like to know what areas these are, what this means for you, and how to make the most of it...contact me to schedule an appointment for a personal reading.

The last Full Moon provided a 6-month checkpoint for the intentions you seeded at the time of the New Moon in Scorpio on November 9th. Your insights told you where you had more forgiveness and release work to do regarding old hurts and undermining habits. This Full Moon reveals how well you've used those insights, what's still not working, and where completion is now called for.

These reference points I speak of really clarify things and they're easy to check back on IF you've been lunar journaling. If you haven't shared this experience with us...don't wait to get this "insider information", you'll have me handy to inspire you on a phase-by-phase basis, and you'll be using the rhythms of the universe to create and attract the life you really desire.

A new order and new life...that's what it's about in this "1" year...that's what you've been working on for some time. It's as though the planets themselves are conspiring to kick-start your journey through the birth canal...and the process that really began with your intentions for 2008 will culminate at the time of the Summer Solstice. You'll want to streamline your evolutionary journey if possible, right?...be as free of old excess baggage as possible...and that's what this challenging lunation encourages you to do.

Pluto rules this Full Moon, and it's moving in retrograde motion...hovering at the portal (that's 00º) to Capricorn...reminding you that tranformation begins internally, and truly owning your power implies responsibility. Heavyweight energy?...yes, but you also have the opportunity now and throughout the summer to explore new methods and tactics and reflect on your long-range goals and the beliefs that will and won't take you there.

Two Scorpio Full Moons brought you a double dose of Pluto's sometimes terrifying alchemical powers of death and rebirth. However, the Sun in Taurus has lit up both of these Full Moons, meaning you're also getting a double dose of Venus. And therein lies the key to successful navigation of these deep turbulent waters...beauty, grace...and most importantly, love. (All Venus strengths.) Taurus highlights your values...so make love your highest value and the beauty and grace are sure to follow.

Transformation comes from "trans" meaning change, and it's not like changing your favorite color. It's deeper and more profound...like the caterpillar becoming a butterfly...a complete metamorphosis.

You're currently in the chrysalis stage as significant endings and new beginnings are occurring. Remember to take care of your body, spend time connecting with nature and the earth, reflect and acknowledge your true feelings, and... forgive everyone and everything... especially yourself. Then prepare to spread your wings.

With Lots of Loving Full Moon Blessings,
Claudia
