Scorpio is ruling the roost astrologically, so to
speak. Its two ruling planets, Mars and
Pluto, went retrograde on April 17th and 18th
respectively, and on April 22nd we have a full moon in 2 degrees of
Scorpio. This full moon will deliver a lot of emotional intensity and longstanding
secrets may be revealed. This is huge
for Scorpios because of their intrinsically secretive nature. A major theme of
the moon in Scorpio opposing the Taurus sun is Scorpio’s need to change and
transform conflicting with the Taurus need for personal security.
How is this going to play out? My tweets on the full moon reflected the
energy of the day:
“#FullMoon
in Scorpio today trines Neptune in Pisces which can feel hypnotic, but also
offers opportunities to reclaim power & end victim role.”
“Venus
conjuncts Uranus in Aries today & they square #PlutoinCapricorn. Deep emotions may suddenly surface &
conflict with security needs.”
So this full moon in Scorpio prominently features Neptune,
Venus and Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn stirring the emotional
pot. Venus conjunct Uranus can bring
some unpredictable emotions, but it can also manifest in financial upsets. With both Venus and Uranus squaring Pluto
during this full moon, there could be major financial and government upheavals.
The Venus Uranus conjunction in Aries squares my Cancer midheaven, so I’m not
ruling out any surprises on that score.
While a Scorpio full moon is definitely intense and not for
lightweights, it doesn’t have to be all gloom and doom. There can be positive energy present and
pleasant surprises can occur if we remain open to it.
Mercury in 21 degrees of Taurus will be favorably trining
the north node in Virgo on the day of the full moon, which will increase the
likelihood of our being open to new ideas that support us as we embark on our
soul’s path. And while Mercury
automatically sextiles the south node in Pisces, we have another favorable aspect
that empowers us to let go of our past in the form of karmic baggage that is no
longer serving our best interests.
Jupiter in Virgo is another team player in this Scorpio
full moon. It trines Pluto in Capricorn
and will also sextile the moon in Scorpio.
These aspects can lend a note of optimism to this deeply intense, complex
full moon. Just be mindful of Jupiter in
Virgo squaring Saturn in Sagittarius, as this will undoubtedly make us more
aware of the challenges and limitations we face in love relationships and
finances. Discipline and patience will
be required in order to achieve our goals.
I realize that no one likes to hear the lecture about patience (least of
all myself, with a natal Saturn squaring both my sun and Mars, and a cardinal T-square
to boot), but hopefully the Taurus sun will instill in us the need to plant
some seeds that will yield a fruitful harvest.
This full moon in Scorpio is conjunct my Mercury, which
will bring me increased emotional sensitivity and intuition, as well as the
potential for volatile mood swings. I
will need to make sure that my emotional attachments don’t cloud my
perception. This piece could get rather
tricky, because my natal Neptune in Libra forms an out of sign conjunction with
that Mercury in Scorpio. The full moon
may be great for my work because of the increased intuition it brings, but
there may be an emotional cost. I
experienced a great deal of frustration with communication and transportation
issues (typical Mercury stuff) on April 21st, so the full moon
intensity is alive and well in my chart!
I would wager that Hillary Clinton will benefit favorably
from this full moon in Scorpio. It is
exactly conjunct her Scorpio sun and I am convinced that her solid win in the
New York primary earlier this week was evidence of that full moon conjuncting her
sun. Full moons are about endings, and if nothing else, her New York win
certainly slowed down her competition’s recent winning streak. She has waged a
hard fought battle with Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination for
President, and she may very well be coming to the end of that journey.
The north node in Virgo has an underlying theme of service to
others. In that spirit of pursuing my
path as a healer, I am channeling that north node and Jupiter in Virgo energy
by offering my Reiki services. If you are in the Boston area, please consider
getting a Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to
destress, revitalize and remove blockages to healing. It’s a perfect way to start your weekend off
and can also be described as a spa for the soul to boot! Reiki is the most profound treatment for stress
relief because it concentrates on CALMING your body.
For more information on my Reiki services, please see this page on
my site:
For my clients who can’t fit Friday into their schedule
for a treatment or have difficulty traveling, I have also recently begun doing
distance Reiki sessions for them. I have
a conversation with them about what they hope to achieve from a session, we set
up a time for the session to take place when they will be in a state to receive
healing energy and I follow up with a telephone conversation to discuss their
experience and my perception of their blockages. If this appeals to you, please feel free to
contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com
or call me at 617-304-2205.
I have also recently become a member of the Fellowship of
Massachusetts Energywork Practitioners. It
is a great resource for those seeking energyworkers. Please feel free to check out this site at:
