The Full Moon in Scorpio arrives on May 1st and is the first of two Full Moons this month. The month promises to lead us to decisive clarity and breakthroughs, but only if we go into May prepared to do the hard thing, face the hard thing, the stickiest and long standing issue or maybe not even an issue, but something that we have convinced ourselves is one. This lunation is equipped with all the tools needed for us to pierce into the murkiest of waters and discover that our fears and control mechanisms grow stronger the more time we spend building up monsters that exist within those murky waters. By diving into the spaces avoided for long we see that the only thing we need to be wary of is building our adversaries, internal or external, into a much greater force than they are. Doing that is the only thing that can bring you/us defeat.
May books are open, after which I am taking a pause from consulting in case you wanted to work with me.
This is Mars ruled lunation, and the fight is in the cards, and it is against the shadows, real and imagined. This is a shift in our perception about what is hard and about our readiness to meet the challenge. With Mars in its domicile in Aries, we are given the sharp tool to get to the core of the challenge, that is either placed before us by others, or and it is my hope that you can take reigns and dive into the challenge on your own accord. You know which knots need untying and where your efforts are required the most, venture there. With Mars six houses away from the lunation, the catharsis and resolutions can be related to your daily priorities, your health, your work, what should be prioritized now in your life, so that you can be better prepared for the changes ahead.
The Moon in Scorpio tends to prepare for the worst, imagining the ruptures is the means of self protection, because if you are prepared for the collapse at all times, it is hard to catch you off guard. But oftentimes this leads to sabotage and a great deal of anxiety. This month we need to defy our internal programming when it comes to navigating the central challenges in front of us, and find ways to meet them head on, instead of burying our heads in the sand. The first aspect after the Full Moon perfects is trine to Jupiter in Cancer. Yes, the initial notion or narrative can seem overwhelming and too much to navigate, but the development down the line holds support and new paths are opening up. The first aspect that Mars is doing is also to Jupiter, the square, which will take place on May 4th. So some key events in regards to this lunation will take place around May 4th. The core idea behind this Mars/Jupiter square, where both planets are super strong, is that the solution exists for almost every problem, but we can’t arrive there with the same attitudes and belief systems, something in both our approach and what we consider to be true about our current reality has to change.
May is a very consequential month, and it is psychologically transformative, the force behind these energies is in their ability to shift something within us that freezes evolution of our human experience, and gives us illusion of control. Mercury is in conjunction to Chiron, the aching points within our mental wirings are revealed, the stories we tell ourselves about independence and dependency are cracked open, the truth is being separated from the familiar and often unsupportive perception of our path.
