On April 26th, at 11:32pm EDT<\/strong>, the Full Moon in 7 degrees of Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. The Moon in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong> opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This Full Moon has heightened\u00a0effects on us for two important reasons<\/strong>: first, it is a “Super Full Moon<\/em>” (i.e. the Moon is at its closest distance to the Earth) — in fact, it is the first of three Super Full Moons<\/em> in a row!\u00a0Secondly, Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, is exalted,<\/em> preparing to go Retrograde at 26.5\u00ba of Capricorn<\/strong> — less than 24 hours after the Full Moon becomes exact! All of this could increase emotional volatility but could also facilitate larger shifts in consciousness.<\/p>\n

There are lots of other aspects<\/strong> worth mentioning in this Full Moon chart: a Stellium in Taurus<\/em>, a T-Square with Saturn as the Focus point<\/em> — and we will address all of them in a moment. If you are currently a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Super Full Moon video here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I should also mention that we will focus on Pluto’s powerful involvement with this month’s Super Full Moon chart,<\/em> as it relates to our own individual birth charts, in our upcoming Forecasting Forum: click here<\/strong> for more info and to register.\u00a0<\/a><\/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 11th.<\/p>\n

For the next two weeks<\/strong>, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities, and are 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.<\/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? How about as individuals? Do we feel empowered and emotionally fulfilled? Are there any fears in our way to achieving progress? Or any rigid thought processes?<\/p>\n

All right, let’s look at the signs involved in this polarity,…<\/p>\n

All right, let’s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with Taurus<\/strong>:<\/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<\/strong>: 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\u2019s\u00a0shadow?\u00a0<\/strong><\/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> starting with the planetary rulers of this Super Full Moon:<\/p>\n

Venus, the ruler of\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>, is currently in its own sign, and in a close conjunction with Mercury, Uranus and the Sun in Taurus<\/strong> — creating a Stellium in Taurus<\/strong> that also opposes the Moon in Scorpio<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since Uranus is a major player in this Stellium<\/em>, we are definitely invited to be flexible and expect the unexpected — we need to be inventive, authentic, and willing to operate without social approval. We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways.<\/p>\n

We are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities. Financial freedom, equality, and progress are important to us right now!<\/p>\n

We might want to break away from whatever keeps us from honoring ourselves. It’s time to develop some awareness around what is genuinely our own values,\u00a0versus those we may have adopted or inherited.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What’s mine? What isn’t? What if it were ok to have a different outlook from others, even those we love? What about different values?Could I have some space around this rather than conflict?<\/p>\n

The Stellium in Taurus<\/strong> opposing the Moon in Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0means that we are seeking\u00a0balance between our body\/physical comforts and our emotional authenticity with ourselves and others.<\/p>\n

We are more aware of what we have (and what we don’t have, yet). On the one hand, we want to cultivate and maintain something real and tangible in our lives; on the other hand we want to discard anything emotionally inauthentic and toxic, so we can connect deeply with others, and passionately.<\/p>\n

Even though we are quite aware of the importance of honoring our physical experience and taking care of our body and finances; we also see that deep emotional connections with ourselves and others are essential as well, especially those based on trust and empowerment.\u00a0However, we may prefer to have peace rather than to explore emotionally complex situations with others.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> How might a conscious connection to my own breath help me stay present and grounded in my body? How might this honor my physical connection to myself? My sense of abundance in my life?<\/p>\n

What still feels inauthentic or toxic in my life? Could I at least start to acknowledge it? Could I perhaps even talk about it with someone I trust? What happens when I suppress my feelings? When I don’t process emotionally difficult experiences? What if it were possible to work through my traumas with others and find peace in the process? What might 5% more trust and courage do for me?<\/p>\n

The larger the reservoir of unprocessed emotional experiences, the more intense things can become, precipitating conflict, illness, and crises of all kinds.\u00a0The question here\u00a0becomes, what would you rather have:<\/strong> a moment of discomfort and vulnerability — like getting caught in the rain — or an immersion in pain and crisis when the dam bursts?<\/p>\n

The Trine between the Moon in Scorpio<\/strong> and Mars in Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>might be able to help us with this. Under its influence, we are more easily able to act in favor of establishing emotional connection with loved ones, and have the courage to let ourselves be vulnerable. We can more easily share about deep emotional issues stemming from the past and support each other in loving and nurturing ways.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> What might be possible if I trusted others and myself just 5% more? Could I then be more open to receiving support from the people I love? How might I lend loving and nurturing support to others? What if I allowed my feelings to flow, and released anything that feels outdated, stuck in the past? What are some favorite fears or concerns that I might just have the courage to address now?<\/p>\n

Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, is currently stationing in\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0This exalted energy heightens our desire for an emotionally authentic connection to our long-term goals and social aspirations. That said,\u00a0survival urges could be strong at this time, especially where we think we have no control.<\/p>\n

We will feel this exaltation especially strongly\u00a0for the two weeks<\/strong> after the Super Full Moon becomes exact — and will still feel it fairly powerfully\u00a0until May 12th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until then, ask yourself:<\/strong> Where is “rebirth” called for? What cannot be denied?<\/p>\n

How do my survival strategies show up at this time? Am I trying to hold on to what was? Am I resisting what is? Am I scared of what might be?<\/p>\n

Where do I give my power away to something outside of me? Something that I don’t have control over to begin with? How could I feel more empowered in connection with my aspirations? How could I step into my own “authority” in the world?<\/p>\n

We also have a T-Square<\/em> in this Full Moon chart: Saturn in Aquarius<\/strong> is the Focus point of this T-Square, making many Squares to\u00a0 all the planets in Taurus<\/strong>, and to the Moon in Scorpio<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

All of this invites us to slow down and reassess our commitments around intimate relationships — and become more aware of our need for space and a flexible approach to the body and our finances.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> What might communicating what works for me look like? What about what doesn’t? If I were going to set healthy boundaries right now, where would I set them?<\/p>\n

What if I slowed down in the moment and assessed\u00a0what is appropriate for me? What if any attempt to rush this process would result in inappropriate boundaries, rigidity, anxiety, overwhelm? Would I slow down and reflect if that were so?<\/p>\n

As best as you can, let your “inner adult” be mindful of what your body requires to be functioning at a “normal” pace, and what needs to be eliminated so you can feel fully empowered in financial or intimate relationships.<\/p>\n

We are feeling a very strong pull to be responsible citizens of the world who build lasting social interactions and mutually-supportive sustainable communities.\u00a0 All this\u00a0creates a lot of stress around our need to make progress (Saturn\u00a0in\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Since the solution always lies with the\u00a0empty leg of a T-square<\/strong>, let’s take a look at\u00a0Leo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Leo<\/strong> is inviting us to focus on our own self-expression and joy — to\u00a0balance any over-seriousness around our interactions with our ability to have fun and enjoy ourselves. Of course, this must take place within the boundaries of what is possible at any given time —\u00a0a healthy, mature approach to this will be the best antidote to anxiety and overwhelm.<\/p>\n

For the next 2 weeks,\u00a0ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What might open up if I placed 5% more focus on enjoyment, gratitude, and healthy self-expression? How could I connect with others and have some fun, while honoring the boundaries and restrictions that are required at this time?<\/p>\n

If I focused on all of the above (i.e. healthy self-expression, joy, gratitude, etc.), how might that impact my experience of abundance and emotionally authentic connections?<\/p>\n

Could I be 5% easier on myself and still take responsibility for how I show up (both in “the world” and within my various communities)? How much more progress might I make if I focused on gratitude first?<\/p>\n

To sum it all up:\u00a0<\/strong>This Super Full Moon reminds us that every new beginning is the end of something else, and vice versa.\u00a0Ask 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?<\/p>\n

What behaviors and habits need to come to an end to make way for me to\u00a0create more abundance in my life? How can I balance my need for a deeper, more empowered experience with others, against my wish to honor my personal values and desire for freedom? (This can be connected to feeling separate vs. feeling “at one”)<\/p>\n

As the first Earth sign, Taurus<\/strong> reminds us of the importance of connecting with nature and honoring our body as the temple of our Soul — without a healthy body, our Soul cannot do the work it came here to do.<\/p>\n

Spending time in nature reduces blood pressure, eases depression, boosts the immune system, eases stress, and provides inspiration. Ask yourself:<\/strong> Could I give my body “the gift of Nature”? Perhaps for 15-30 minutes per day?<\/p>\n

Break the routine in your relationships<\/strong> (the relationship with yourself included) and as best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through our lives — so let it!<\/p>\n

Do your best also\u00a0to release what you have outgrown. Focus where you\u00a0actually\u00a0have influence rather than forcing things and struggling to change things beyond your control. And, as always, choose love over fear whenever possible!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
