Full Flower Moon in Scorpio

May 5th @ 8:35pm

May's full flower moon, also called Mother's Moon, Milk Moon, and Corn Planting Moon, marks a time of increasing fertility with temperatures warm enough for safely bearing young, a near end to late frosts, and plants in bloom.

As the May flowers begin to bloom and to fill the air with the kaleidoscope of colors and smells to awaken our senses to our hopes, our wishes and to our anticipation of what is to follow.  So too, does the energy of this month's moon ~ revealing the complexities, intrigues and secrets we need to face in the coming months and the area we need to concentrate on, if we are to meet the challenges head on.  This is the second of five Super Moons this year which indicates that it is at its closest distance to the Earth, which intensifies our actions, emotions, and our involvements in everything that concerns us at this time.  This moon phase is emphasizing that we need to look through the eyes of others to see a different viewpoint then our own.  In this way we will be able to learn to treasure and to alter how we view our selves, our abilities, our surroundings, our supports and how intricately involved and connected we are with all that the Universe has created.  In this way the essential truths and desires of any situation or circumstance may be more easily deciphered, and the benefits and the disadvantages are revealed and exposed.   

Scorpio is the sign that takes us to the soul depths, and through a healing catharsis, has a transforming effect. What's sick and twisted in our psyches can come out of the shadows, since Full Moons are about illumination. All the secret rages, jealousies, obsessions and resentments that dwell in the subconscious rise for expression, and sexual passion peaks. It's a Full Moon to exorcise personal demons, by shining light on them.

Scorpio is about the death and rebirth cycles we go through in life. At this Full Moon, you can identify what's dead weight in your life, and perform a mercy killing to transform it into something new. It might be behaviors that you know are a waste of your vital energy; some that come to mind are 1) keeping a negative situation alive by feeding it with gossip, 2) overdramatizing your troubles, so they eclipse anything good that happens, 3) wallowing in what's toxic, and being romanced by the violent or sadistic, 4) going along with shadenfruede of our times, taking secret pleasure in others' pain.

We all have a shadow side, and only you know when you're letting it control your life. Only you know how it keeps you from being your best self. Since the Full Moon is in opposition to the Sun in Taurus, the questions are how to best channel all this raw intensity, to making life better day-to-day. The polarity of the Sun and Moon are in fixed signs, so what we're dealing with is deeply rooted, stubborn, possibly stuck in one way of doing things. What's opened here, with the Full Moon, is a moment to really see the entrenched structure of the psyche, and how it shapes our lives and relationships. When approached with unconditional love for yourself and others, there can be a casting off, a shedding of the skin, like the snake, always associated with Scorpio's promise of renewal.
