The Full Moon in Scorpio starts on April 26th on the day of the Moon – Monday. The Full Moon serves to awaken uncomfortable aspects of our psyche that we may try to numb or escape from by engaging in the material indulgences of Taurus (Moon semi-square Neptune). We might see this as an emotional wake-up call to make changes to what we own, bet it material or otherwise, and what we choose to value. Powerful feelings come up as an indicator of what we have to change to move forward. This lunar phase prepares us for the last quarter square to come, which will be the final push of hard work to secure a more pleasurable life experience that adheres to our evolving value system.
Venus, Uranus & Sun opposite the Moon through aspect, but Mercury (information/understanding) is just outside of orb. We may find hidden information or stumble upon a realization of what we truly value (Venus), how we want to lead our lives (the Uranian impulse) and what we feel confident and happy taking ownership for. Scorpio has a problem with letting things go. They cling and hold onto toxic emotions – hence the poison stinger tail.
Moon’s Dispositor is Mars (Debilitation)
Mars is in a 2nd/8th aspect from the lunar nodes and is in full aspect to the Full Moon, which rests in the 12th and 6th position from the lunar nodes.This interchange of rulerships with a malefic and sensitive planet creates a powerful combination for psychic activity. The sensitive moon has intentions that align perfectly willful the willful and emotionally aggressive Mars. Normally, this debilitation creates a weak will to change or transform one’s life for the better. But, this Full Moon’s aspect creates powerful energy to heal psychological wounds surrounding one’s own identity and what we share with others.
Full Moon Square Saturn
Saturn is the focal point of a T-Square between the stellium in Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio. Between emotional consideration for the needs of others and preoccupation with our own personal security in life, there has to be a lot of work done to establish how much we can give and take within ourselves and others. Scorpio represents what is joint or shared with another. Saturn and Jupiter are in the 10th house from Taurus, which shows us the need to work on large collective social projects after securing our own kingdom. Keep in mind that Saturn also rules government power.
From the kingdom of Taurus, which represents the state of grounded nourishment and self-sufficiency, the Moon, normally exalted within Taurus, sits in harsh aspect to a dominant malefic planet. One’s feelings travel far from the grounded physical reality of Taurus, and into the metaphysical underpinnings that work behind the scenes in life.
