Interpretation

This full moon is said to bring a wave of introspection.  Imagine yourself floating on a calm lake, gazing beneath the surface.  Just as the moon's light illuminates the night, this full moon energy can illuminate the depths of your subconscious.  Hidden fears, emotions, and desires might bubble up, prompting you to confront them.

This can be an intense experience.  You might find yourself brooding more than usual, lost in thought as you grapple with these unearthed feelings.  But remember, this is a chance for growth!  By acknowledging these hidden aspects of yourself, you can begin to release them and create space for something new.

The full moon isn't just about dredging up the past; it's about stepping into the future.  This lunar phase is believed to be a potent time for change.  With a newfound awareness of your outdated thoughts and behavior patterns, you might feel a strong urge to break free from them.  This could involve anything from finally quitting that unfulfilling job to letting go of a toxic relationship.

The full moon's energy is often associated with heightened emotions, and vulnerability can be a big part of that.  You might find yourself craving deeper connections with loved ones, feeling a stronger desire for intimacy and emotional support.  This is a beautiful time to open up to those you trust, to share your newfound insights and experiences.

Remember, the full moon isn't about becoming a different person; it's about embracing your authentic self.  By confronting your inner world and letting go of what no longer serves you, you create space for growth and transformation.  So use this full moon energy to illuminate your path, embrace your vulnerability, and connect with those who matter most.

The Mercury Influence 

With Mercury Retrograde conjunct the North Node in Aries, get ready for a communication do-over! This is a strong influence pushing us to speak our minds and be upfront with what we think. However,  watch out for falling back on old habits in our relationships, like saying what we think people want to hear instead of being honest. This is a time to find a middle ground: be yourself and express your ideas clearly, but also build real connections with others through open communication.

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon occupy the same degree of opposite signs of the zodiac.  As you can see from the chart above, the Moon is at 17° Scorpio and the Sun is at 17° Taurus forming an opposition creating a dynamic of challenging one another; something is being split or divided.  

The Big Picture

Taurus is all about me. My money, my possessions, my values. Scorpio is about us. Our money, our possessions, our values.  So there is a dynamic here of being torn between what is mine and what is ours. We can see this energy play out on a grand scale by watching the news, looking at our newsfeeds on social media, and listening to the people around us. As I write this blog entry the big news story is about the conflict between radical people who want to open up the government and businesses now (Me) and those who wish to exercise caution and a safer approach to "getting back to normal" (Our)

The Personal Touch

To understand how the Full Moon in Scorpio affects us on a personal level we would look to see where Scorpio and Taurus falls in our natal charts. For example 17° Scorpio in my Natal Chart falls in my first house and 17° Taurus falls in my 7th house. These houses rule over the self and one's relationships respectively.  Therefore, for me, I may feel torn between my own needs as a person and the needs of my partners in business, friendships, or relationships. 

Whereas the New Moon brings new beginnings and new opportunities the Full Moon brings completion and endings. The Full Moon in Scorpio (my natal 1st house) can mean a time of introspection and self-evaluation. This can be a time wherein I am more emotional and I have to recognize and confront what I need to release in order to grow and evolve.  In addition, the Full Moon at 17° Scorpio is making a sextile (soft aspect) to my Natal Sun at 22° Virgo. What this mean for me is that the intense, passionate nature of my emotions will be in harmony with the urge to express the practical, critical, and meticulous aspects of my personality.

How to Use Full Moon in Scorpio Energy
