As we journey into mid-spring’s first days, a truly spectacular lunar event on the horizon, just waiting to occur: a Full Moon in Scorpio, set to appear sometime mid-month. This energetic Full Moon is no ordinary full moon; it charges us with the powerful, change-oriented energy of Scorpio, forcing us to peer under to prepare us for a cycle of passionate emotional letting go and deeper change.
Scorpio’s Depths: Revealing Buried Truths
Scorpio, a water sign governed by a transformation-ruling (and once an action-ruling) planet, has dominion over the subconscious, power, intimacy, and change. It’s a sign not afraid of going into the darkness; it instead likes to explore what lies beneath us and the world. Because the Moon, our internal and emotional location, is full in Scorpio, it illuminates these dark and many times unspoken realms.
This Full Moon will likely surface emotions and realities that have been simmering just below the surface. What have you been keeping under wraps? What secrets, yours and others’, can be uncovered? Get ready for a time when superficiality will feel tenuous, and the need for authenticity will be overwhelming.
The Call for Release: Letting Go of What Doesn’t Serve Us
Full Moons are always times of peak and letting go. In the intense sign of Scorpio, this invitation to let go can be especially powerful. We can find ourselves facing attachments, habits, or even relationships that are no longer for our highest good. This isn’t about gentle cleansing; Scorpio energy has a way of making this experience more like a necessary shedding of old skin, maybe painful but ultimately freeing.
Reflect on what burdens you’ve been bearing, what grievances you’ve been holding, or what anxieties have been restraining you. This Scorpio Full Moon will give the emotional power and depth necessary to release these restrictions forever.
Transformation and Empowerment: The Potential for Rebirth
Though the process of release can feel daunting at a Scorpio Full Moon, it is actually a precursor to deep transformation and empowerment. Through facing our shadow places and releasing what holds us back, we open up room for growth and a greater closeness to our own inner power.
This Full Moon invites us to reclaim portions of ourselves that have been pushed down or denied. It’s an opportunity to transmute suffering into strength and to emerge at the end of this lunar cycle more real and more empowered.
Getting Ready for the Intensity:
As the Scorpio Full Moon approaches, do the following to prepare yourself for its powerful energy:
- Introspection and Journaling: Take a few moments exploring your deepest desires, fears, and emotions. Journaling is a very powerful way of making unconscious patterns conscious.
- Identify What Needs to Go: Reflectively examine those places in your life where you feel stuck, burdened, or constricted. What are you willing to let go of?
- Space for Emotional Processing: Anticipate that strong feelings will arise. Permit yourself to feel them without judgment and open space for processing.
- Set Intentions for Change: Having made the list of what you intend to let go, set deliberate intentions for change you want to adopt.
- Practice Self-Care: Now at this emotional intensity level, focus on self-care activities that benefit your best and center you.
The upcoming Full Moon in Scorpio is a time of tremendous power for deep emotional healing and radical personal transformation. With our openness to working fearlessly with our shadows and the act of surrendering, we can potentially tap into the dynamic energy of this lunation and come out feeling renewed, empowered, and closer to our authentic selves.
