On May 7th, at 6:45am EDT,<\/strong>\u00a0the Full Moon in almost 17.5 degrees of\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0becomes exact. The Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong> opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong>. This is also another SuperMoon.<\/p>\n

There are many Station phases<\/em> going on simultaneously this month, as a lot of planets are starting their Retrograde phases. Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio<\/strong>, was the first one to go retrograde, on April 25th — and its Station phase will still last until May 17th<\/strong>, which makes this planet more exalted until then.<\/p>\n

Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn are exalted<\/em> in the sky as well. All three of those planets will start their various Retrograde phases within three days of each other, between May 11th and May 14th<\/strong>. Since Venus rules Taurus<\/strong>, we have both planetary rulers of this Full Moon exalted<\/em> at this time — a rare occasion \ud83d\ude42 We will talk about this in more detail in a moment, but first….<\/p>\n

This Full Moon shows us how far we have come, as well as\u00a0what we must still release or transform, if we are to manifest what was begun at the time of the New Moon that occurred on\u00a0April 22nd.<\/p>\n

For the next two weeks<\/strong>, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities — and we are more aware that something needs to be brought into alignment.\u00a0The balance in question is between our physical attachments, aversions, and connections — symbolized by\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>— and our emotional attachments, aversions, and connections (Scorpio<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

The time of the Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears or disempowering behaviors, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution, individually and collectively speaking.<\/p>\n

So, here’s this Full Moon’s central question: <\/strong>As a society, are we living in alignment with our values, with what makes us happy and satisfied? As individuals? Do we feel empowered and emotionally fulfilled?<\/p>\n

All right, let’s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with\u00a0Taurus: Taurus<\/strong> seeks…<\/p>\n

Taurus<\/strong> seeks comfort and material stability. It’s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general — and also with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \u201cself-esteem”.<\/p>\n

Of course,\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>\u00a0also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures, immovability and wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don’t experience physical discomfort.<\/p>\n

Scorpio<\/strong>, on the other hand, craves transformation \u2014 and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing them into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or whatever has become stale or toxic. Put another way, it helps us\u00a0move from a “survival mentality”, to a passionate engagement with life.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0Where in my own life do I observe a “survival mentality”? In what ways might I have protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more \u201cempowered\u201d. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.<\/p>\n

What is\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u2019s\u00a0shadow?<\/p>\n

Attachment to emotional connections\u00a0(even if they are toxic), avoidance of emotional pain,\u00a0armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)… and anything we want to prevent: Scorpio’s shadow has us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.<\/p>\n

Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks,\u00a0ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0Where do my behaviors bring disempowerment to others or myself? Where do my behaviors simply bring pain? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?<\/p>\n

Now, let’s talk about some of the aspects of this Full Moon chart,<\/strong> and let’s start with the planetary rulers of Taurus<\/strong> and Scorpio<\/strong> since they are both exalted:<\/p>\n

Pluto, <\/em>the modern ruler of Scorpio, is currently retrograde in\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>,\u00a0closely aligned with Jupiter<\/em>, so both planets are exalted<\/em> at the time of the Full Moon.\u00a0This exalted duo heightens our desire for an emotionally authentic connection to our long-term goals and social aspirations. Survival urges could be strong at this time, especially when it comes to anything we think we have no control over.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> What is “forcing” me to look beyond my current understanding to a larger perspective so I can grow and evolve? In what ways do I need to take a deeper look at my belief system and my assumptions or perspectives at that time?<\/p>\n

How do I want to better myself? What situation in my life requires a “rebirth”? How do my survival strategies show up at this time? Am I trying to hold on to what was? I am I resisting what is? Am I scared of what might be?<\/p>\n

How could I feel more empowered on my current journey? How could I be my own “authority” in the world? What would it look like to connect to a deeper truth — and live from that truth every day, no matter what “authority figures” say or advise?<\/p>\n

Pluto trines Mercury in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0This is a perfect opportunity to take a look at our long-term goals — and empower ourselves by being completely honest about where we are with them, and where our divine purpose wants to take us.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> What needs a closer look (and deep honesty with myself) when it comes to my long-term goals or achievements? In what area of my life do I still not feel fully empowered? What needs to be addressed and brought up into full consciousness in order to get to a place of emotional authenticity with myself and the world?<\/p>\n

What scares me the most about this? What if I had the courage to do this in spite of all my fears or concerns? What would that look like? What would be the first small step towards my own empowerment in the world?<\/p>\n

Venus, <\/em>the ruler of\u00a0Taurus, is currently in Gemini<\/strong>, <\/em>also exalted due to her Station phase, <\/em>and in a wide conjunction wit the North Node<\/em>, which moves into Gemini<\/strong> only 2 days before the Full Moon becomes exact. The spiritual quest of Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication.<\/p>\n

We are invited to learn to listen to others, for the next 20 months<\/strong>, so that we can discover the value of true communication and exchange, and to see both sides of a situation.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> If I am really honest with myself, could I make 5% more of an effort to communicate in a way that is beneficial for everyone involved? What if I chose to listen with a 5% more curious mind? How could I improve my relationship to myself and others by keeping my mind 5% more open?<\/p>\n

As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini<\/strong> <\/em>represents the “bringing together of opposites” — people with different values, for example.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of view? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?<\/p>\n

For the next two weeks,<\/strong> we are invited to\u00a0ponder and discuss Taurean<\/strong> issues: resources (oil, metals, gold, finances), appreciation of physical matter (our planet, art, food, etc.), natural beauty (nature, trees, flowers, colors, landscapes, etc.)<\/p>\n

Venus also makes a square to Neptune in Pisces<\/strong><\/em>: We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money at this time; if you plan on making long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it’s likely you will not see things as they truly are.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> How does my intuition guide me at this time? Could I take a moment, to tune in, before charging ahead? Are there any spiritual or creative endeavors that are calling for my attention over the next two weeks?<\/p>\n

Another thing worth mentioning: Venus in Gemini<\/strong> also makes a “mutual reception” to Mercury in Taurus<\/strong><\/em> — in other words, these planets are in each other’s signs until May 11th<\/strong>; during that time, they “mutually” support each other’s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.<\/p>\n

We seek out mental stimulation (teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc) and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I’d be heard? What\u00a0might I discover about my thinking processes in regards to my value in the world?\u00a0Is it possible my value doesn’t need to be “earned”? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?<\/p>\n

Mercury aligns with Sun in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0This is a time when our opinions are unusually strong — and we are proud of them, and of our thoughts — and may therefore be more stubborn as well\u2026<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0If people hung on my every word, what might I say then? What might I hold back from saying? Might it serve me to consciously practice listening to others and myself? What might a practice like this look like? What if I acted as if I was being 100% heard by others? What if I returned the favor?<\/p>\n

For the next two weeks,<\/strong> please keep in mind that it may not always serve us to dig our heels in, so choose your battles wisely.<\/p>\n

For some help with this,\u00a0ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0On a scale from 1-10, with “10” being extremely important and “1” being not important at all… how important is this? How important will it be a year from now? If it’s below a 5, could I simply let it go? If it’s a 5 or above, could I express myself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions, knowing that I communicated what was important to me, and that’s all I can ever do?<\/p>\n

Mercury opposes the Moon in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0this is an invitation to\u00a0find a balance between connecting to what we value on a physical level, and what we need in order to make deeper emotional connections with others, based on trust and empowerment.<\/p>\n

This combo can make for very focused and deep conversations; however it is also possible that we might find ourselves unable to get in touch with our feeling-body, because we are too caught up talking about what’s important to us, and how we want to manifest this in our lives. We may also prefer to have peace rather than to explore emotionally complex situations with others.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself\u00a0here:<\/strong> What might it require of me to have emotionally fulfilling relationships? What happens when I suppress my feelings? Or when I don’t process emotionally difficult experiences? Is is possible to work through my traumas with others and find peace in the process? What might a dash more trust and courage do for me?<\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong> The larger the reservoir of unprocessed emotional experiences, the more intense things can become, precipitating conflict, illness, and crises of all kinds.<\/p>\n

The question here\u00a0becomes, what would you rather have: a moment of discomfort and vulnerability — like getting caught in the rain — or an immersion in pain and crisis when your dam bursts?<\/p>\n

To sum it all up:<\/strong> This Super Full Moon reminds us that every new beginning is the end of something else, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end to make way for me to\u00a0create more abundance?<\/p>\n

Trust your inner truth-meter! Choose love over fear!<\/p>\n

We have the persistence to go after our divine purpose for the next two weeks<\/strong>, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience… As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you\u00a0actually\u00a0have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change things beyond your control.
