The Full Moon will be diving deep into the sign of Scorpio, shining its light on our hidden desires, fears, & perhaps on the spoilt parts of ourselves that have been bubbling to surface. With Taurus energy dominating the sky right now we’ve already been feeling it in our physical realm. Taurus rules my 12th house of hidden things & other/higher realms, such as dreams. I saw my ankles swollen with welts & faint red rings, signifying my true desires & personal truths have surface from my subconscious into my consciousness in the form of my physical dream self. For others it will show itself on some other level, depending on where the Full Moon shines it light in your chart.
Take initiative & activate the sextile to powerful Pluto, who has his shovels & spades ready to help you dig through the mess, release or transform what has been curdling deep down or itching for manifestation. The opposition to Mercury in Taurus might seem tense, as the practical & realistic rivals with gut intuition & unexplained intensity. Quell the tug of war by understanding how to balance the two contrasting energies.
With the fixed star to menacing Algol conjuncting Mercury, decisions can be influenced by fear & past mistakes. Algol is associated with the mythological Medusa, a horrific snake-haired monster, who was punished for her beauty & past actions. Her gaze turned those who looked into it into stone. Beheaded by mythical Perseus, she was eventually defeated by her own sinister powers, birthing from her blood a winged horse Pegasus—known as a good-hearted creature, who aided Perseus in the end. This influence can reflect the ugly side of ourselves, old scar tissues, losses we’ve endured. Do as Perseus, turn the ugliness on itself, ending fears & manifesting desired results.
The Scorpio Full Moon will seem like an intense ride down the deepest parts of ourselves, as we encounter enemies along the way, but through the use of intuitive powers & courage to face the ugly, all the unsettledness or festering will surface, giving us a chance to finally heal, move on or manifest our true desires.
