Flower Full Moon in Scorpio
Friday, May 1 @ 11:22 (MTN)
Happy Full Moon in Scorpio!
Welcome to the month of transformation. It’s the first Full Moon of the month, as May begins and ends with a full moon. Full moons are times of closure. They are times of release, of saying good bye to what no longer serves. And every time we let go of something, we create space to welcome in what is in even more alignment.
This full moon occurs in the sign of Scorpio, which is the sign of transformation. It is the sign of light and dark, of death and rebirth, and of passion. This full moon is asking us to turn inward and reflect on what it is that we have outgrown. What are we hanging onto that is stuck in our past, that we do not want to carry with us into the future?
Full Moons allow everything that has been hiding to come to light. We have the ability to see clearly what has been hard to see (or understand). As Scorpio is an intense and deep sign, it is hard to continue to avoid what we have been putting off. Allow the intensity of this air sign to welcome in what has been hard to understand or feel.
Grounded Taurus helps us reflect with control and a clear head. Earthy Taurus loves being comfortable - allow Scorpio to help shake things up. It can be easy to get too comfortable and simply stick with what we know.
A Full Moon in Scorpio feels like the balance between light and dark. It feels like the deep magic of the soul combined with the bright magic of the sun. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of transformation, this sign is always encouraging us to be true to ourselves. To see the light and dark that is within all of us. To allow the rebirth and death to happen again and again. Such is life. Experience the life -death - life cycle. And while it may feel scary at times, scary is good.
Use this full moon to get in touch with your shadow self. Revealing your true shadow to yourself helps you get to know all sides. It allows you to dive deeper into your introspection and expansion towards yourself. Knowing what your triggers are, how to get yourself back into your enlightened state, and having a relationship with your shadow state is so beneficial to your forever journey within.
Without our shadow state, we cannot fully transform. Allow your shadow self to help you come to terms with what you need to release. Shadow loves what is comfortable. How can you get uncomfortable in order to expand into your highest self?
ALIGNED ACTION
Make a list of the qualities of your highest self, and then make a list of the qualities of your shadow self. Compare the two. What makes you feel like your highest self? What brings out your shadow side? Think about the times in your life where it is easiest for your enlightened side to shine through. Think about the times in your life where it is easiest for your shadow side to come through. We are made up of light and dark. It is important to know our shadow side just as much as it is to know our enlightened side. Do not be afraid of your shadow side. Get familiar with it, so that when it shows up, you know what to do. Greet it by name and ask why they are there. Know how to shake things up so that you don’t get stuck in your shadow state. Doing these things and becoming more aware of all sides of yourself leads to deeper and deeper self discovery - exactly what Scorpio loves.
JOURNAL QUESTIONS
What is your shadow side like?
What is your enlightened side like?
What do you need to let go of right now? How will you feel one month from now, during the Sagittarius full moon, when you have already released what needs to go?
as always, thank you for being here - and thank you to the Moon for always guiding us.
all the love,
