Monday, May 12, at 9:56am Pacific, the Full Moon will reach its apex at 22 Scorpio 12. Mercury (in Taurus) will be in a square to Pluto (in Aquarius) at this time, inviting us to have deep conversations and communication with our shadows, to bring into light things we have kept silent about. Chiron will also be in a sextile with Jupiter, giving us an opportunity to look at old woundings, and continue the work of processing, healing, and growth.
The intensity of this full moon will be palatable. Scorpio, ruled by Mars and Pluto, is the sign of depth, death, sex, mental health/psyche, power dynamics, and intimacy. With Pluto, one of the rulers of this lunation, in a square to Mercury, this moon will encourage our conversations, with ourselves and those close to us, exploring our connections, our shadows, and power dynamics, that we both yield and suffer from. Mars, the other ruler of this lunation, in a very loose trine with Venus, looking at our relationships will be beneficial, including the ones that are no longer nurturing or nourishing and allowing them to devolve and end as they need.
The moon phases give us different lenses and ways to look at ourselves, our healing, our relationships, our lives. Every month is an opportunity to look at things differently, to explore, to understand, to unfold, to devolve, to evolve, to unlearn, to learn. Moving with the flow of the moon and sun, allows us to slow down, to come more intune with our own natural rhythms, to break free from our social indoctrination to conform, to self abandon, to isolate. Allowing our healing, our growth, our lives, to move with the pace of the sun and moon, is both an act of rebellion and an act of self and community reclamation.
