Every FULL MOON BENEFITS us in many ways:
*Works with our emotions and mind/energy field
*brings peak clarity of mind during the lunar cycle,
*offers us feedback and shines a light on what is or is not working,
*while gifting us the power to transform and release what is no longer serving us.
*Causes pressure on the waters of our planet, the waters of our bodies and the layers of our psyche shining light into the parts that have been forgotten or hidden. So it is important to stay grounded and as calm as possible as to not get caught up in the waves of your shadows and/or surrounding fellow humans.
*Cleansing energy for your crystals and sacred items (place them under the moon!)
The moon energies are most potent at time of fullness, however, you can tap into that energy quite easily about 24 hours before and 24 hours after.
FULL MOON IN SCORPIO ENERGY INSIGHTS:
* Deep Emotions + Conscious Awareness = Embodied Power with Emotional Intelligence
* Emotional Intimacy - strengthening relationships through intimate connection and shared expression. Most intimacy we desire isn’t sexual at all.
* Intuition & Empathic abilities heightened. These are tools to advance your journey into the Mystery of this life experience, your connection to it and your abilities within it
* Shadow made visible. Scorpio is the depths of the shadow, and mixed w/this eclipse, we have a great opportunity to see what’s lurking beneath, what’s needing attention, what’s ready to be brought into resolve / wholeness.
* Opportunity for powerful transformation of monies, relationships and your connection with your life in general
* Lunar Eclipse - even more potent energy supporting inner transformation of the emotions/mind.
* Mercury Retrograde - supportive energy to slow down and bring yourself into the moment. Patience & adaptability needed for the next few weeks.
DIVING DEEPER:
This is an extremely powerful combination of energies going on this month in general, but this Full Moon is extra special!
We are in the midst of an Eclipse Season, and by that I mean we had a solar eclipse last new moon and this full moon we have a lunar eclipse. The energetic effects of these combos can be powerful times of transformation assisting us in moving beyond old life patterns and helping us move forward in our personal and collective evolution. (HERE is a great article on Lunar Eclipses)
Mercury goes Retrograde on the 10th, which also supports us in seeing truth, speaking truth and making moves to complete, resolve and evolve. You can read more on that HERE.
All of this in combo with a Scorpio Full Moon - Just. Wow.
Scorpio represents the depths of Emotional Intimacy, Sensuality, Intuition, the Mystery, the Shadow and absolute Transformation.
Many of us have been going through quite the learning curve of emotional intelligence these last few years, and that was triggered into a deeper learning curve as many people’s deepest fears were triggered within these last two years specifically. This is all part of our collective evolution as we reawaken our emotional bodies, learn their language and allow ourselves to recalibrate and evolve our human race as a whole.
Scorpio energy is BRAVE and is willing to see & feel all that has been being ignored, denied or hidden, as a means to bring resolve and evolution through it all.
I personally feel that this full moon is asking each of us to allow even more awareness in to see what fears or energetic distortions in our lives we have been avoiding (the shadow), which ones haven’t been nurtured and brought into the light for resolution, and to also notice where and with whom we feel safe to share / process our emotions and feelings.
Finally, there is great opportunity to utilize the CREATIVE and MAGNETIC energies with Scorpio to bring in any adjustments or flat out changes in your projects, business ventures, occupations, or anything else that you may be utilizing (or wanting to utilize) as a money/abundance generator.
If you have found yourself to be unhappy, uninspired, unmotivated, ‘sick’ of work, etc., chances are you have certain feelings that may or may not be being acknowledged and/or fully expressed, and definitely have not found a way to shift that energy into prosperity. That’s okay! And yet, this is a great time to see the reality that which you are partaking in, and if it’s unhealthy, reach out for support / assistance in making some changes.
Sometimes these shifts are easy. Sometimes it just takes talking about your feelings, hashing out your problems/challenges with someone who has different perspectives and seeing things in a different way.
Other times it takes a completely different approach, and when we see no other option, sometimes we need a plan B to opt into. Meaning change the work place, the position, the scenario completely. This doesn’t mean make a rash decision and quit your job without having something safe to move into yet. This also doesn’t mean ditching your apartment without a new one to move into….again, we Are in Mercury Retrograde, so ungrounded changes aren’t really suggested at this time.
If you are feeling stoked on life and where you are at, this is a supportive time to dive into learning something new, maybe some occult areas of focus - the mysteries of life, the things that have been labeled ‘taboo’ by those in fear, the things that have been all but forgotten in some places (e.g. nature, natural healing, holism, energy, quantum physicals, the power of the mind, consciousness, etc.).
A BIG Reminder: This is all temporary. This too shall pass. So embrace it, live IN it, experience it, breathe with it and move through it, and remember to laugh at the humor within it all along the way! Happy Humaning!
