Full Moon in Scorpio

28. April 2018

Are you ready to enter the deep, dark waters of Scorpio? Your answer might be no, except Scorpio isn’t one to care to much about if we are ready or not; this transformative water sign is more likely to simply throw us into the fire – or in this case, the deep waters, and simply see if that will teach us how to swim.

Consequently, with a powerful full moon in Scorpio illuminating the night sky on April 29th/30th we may all be headed for an intense trip into our deep emotional reservoirs; the dark ones, the ones that always tends to take us under no matter how skilled swimmers we are.

Yet, uncomfortable as it may be, please do not fight your darkness. Merely ask yourself why you are so uncomfortable with it. Is it because it is unfamiliar? Or maybe it’s way too familiar for your own liking? Or are we simply so afraid of the answers we might get if we slow down enough to hear our souls whisper? Only you know the truth. Take the question to your journal and ponder upon it. Light a candle and dare to be in stillness tonight with your thoughts. What do you hear?

The simple truth is that light cannot exist without darkness, and the darker the night, the brighter the light shines. That goes for you as well ♥ Thus, do not avoid your darkness; embrace it. Befriend it. Just like the tides, our inner world and emotions naturally ebb and flow with the cycles of the moon, and it is nothing wrong with that. We are human beings, we feel things, and sometimes it gets intense. That is simply the nature of things. Besides, we all know that fighting upstream will exhaust us to the point of drowning at one point or another, so even when the intensity of what you feel scare you to the point of panicking, do not fight the current. Rather, surrender to it and let take you where you need to go.

The Scorpio moon brings you the gift of transformation, don’t refuse it. Let its cleansing waters carry you deeper into yourself. Listen to its promise of change and renewal. Let the moon illuminate you, helping you to uncover new layers and parts of oneself. The darkness always carries wisdom and answers, and you would be wise to listen. What treasures have you hidden away for the world to see? Trust that you are worth knowing. And trust that you are worth loving. All of you. The darkest parts too.

It is easy to pretend the darkness is not there, if we never go there. And the fear that we cannot possibly be loved for all that we are, both our light and dark, including all our past mistakes and the skeletons in the close, keeps us trapped in a lifelong lie. We are convinced it is better to hide the truth from ourselves and from them, so certain that being loved for half of what we are is better than not being loved at all. But the truth is that this is just a poor reflection of what love truly is, and if you want it all – and most of us do, even if it is just a whisper in the back of our heart – we need to reveal it all.

Thus, I believe one of the one of the biggest teachings of Scorpio to be that it is indeed possible for even the meanest creature to transform into something higher. With its many layers, Scorpio reveals to us the true path of transformation: from the lowest, darkest, energies of death represented by the sting of the scorpion, through its higher energy, represented by the wisdom of the eagle, to the promise of rebirth held by the symbol of the phoenix. Scorpio, embrace the whole spectrum of life, from good to bad and all the nuances in-between. Scorpio teaches us growth, and shows us that change is indeed possible with enough heart.

Because, just like Scorpio, on the surface layers, we humans are also run by our reptilian brain. By jealousy, possessiveness and fear. by our ego. But also, like Scorpio, at our core, in our heart center, we too hold the treasure of unconditional love and compassion. And like the mythical bird we too can rise from the ashes if we just have the courage to transform into that highest version of our being.

Yet, even with its intense and sometimes dark energies, the Scorpio moon is always a healing moon, so use it wisely. True healing starts at our deepest core, so let your guard down and expose your heart to the full moon. Let it illuminate the dustiest, darkest corners of your soul. Ask yourself what must die in you for you to experience the highest version of your being? What have come on this Earth to achieve?

The truth is that no matter how much work we have done and no matter how many challenges we have been through, there is always more. I wonder how many times I have thought “this time it must be done”, just to have another round of challenges six months or so later. Though harsh as it may seem, that doesn’t mean that life is a constant battle. It only becomes one if you fight against where you are guided. The trick is to learn to trust and surrender. To remember that this is how you grow. More importantly, to remember that this is how you are guided. Because even though growth may be painful, it is way more painful to be stuck someplace you don’t belong.

And though hiding how you truly feel might get you through life, does it let you live your life? The time of hiding your emotions and your true desires are over. The time is here to open your heart to the world and embrace your whole range of emotions. What do you think would happen if start to make friends with the places that scare you? With uncertainty and fear? We all have the opportunity to become fearless, but as with everything else in life it takes practice to become good at it.

The time to start is now. Let your heart guide you and connect with you true essence. Let what needs to go, go; let what needs to stay, stay; and never stop to shed, heal and transform in to the fullest expression of you. And if all the water, emotions and intensity of the Scorpio moon simply gets too much, know that you can always draw on the grounding, loving Taurus sun, as well as a positive aspect to solid and reliable Saturn. Besides, the moons connection to Saturn will also help your full moon transformation be long-lasting, so what are you waiting for? This is the uncovering of your truth.  You are on the path, exactly where you are mean to be, and you have the power to create the life you truly desire. It is time to rebirth into your own kind of magic!

Full Moon Blessings

Radical New Beginnings – New Moon in Aries

13. April 2018

Welcome new moon and new beginnings, and welcome to Mercury moving forward again! Yay!

With the communication planet being retrograde, these past weeks may have felt like a vicious circle of chaotic energy and miscommunication, but with Mercury direct once more, and Sunday’s new moon in Aries conjunct the sun and innovative Uranus, it is finally time to get proactive!

The time of the new moon is our monthly rebirth, always providing us with a rejuvenating fresh start. It is a time to forgive ourselves for our past mistakes, and to courageously plant seeds for the future. And, even though all new moons represent new beginnings, the Aries new moon is by far the most powerful new moon for setting intentions and starting afresh.

Aries  being the first sign of the zodiac brings with it the energy of moving forwards and gives us the courage needed to take the leap towards new adventure and new growth. And if you add Mercury direct – no more miscommunication or delays, please! – and a conjunction to wild-card Uranus, I’d say now’s the time to revamp your goals and wishes and to just go for it! No more delays. The ram doesn’t do procrastination. Aries makes plans and takes action. Aries gives you the drive, passion and initiative needed to go after what you want. Most importantly, trailblazer Aries waits for no one, Aries ‘just does’, so make your new moon wishes clear, because ready or not, here they come!

And with groundbreaking Uranus in the mix, the energy of innovating yourself is even more intensified. Uranus is known as the “great awakener”, and Uranus in Aries is meant to spur you into action. Plant some bold intentions now, and there is a great chance they will bloom into fresh new adventures and great opportunities within the next six months.

Moreover, this is the last time Uranus will conjunct the new moon in Aries in another eighty years or so, so embrace this energy for what it’s worth, as in May this revolutionary planet will move into earthy Taurus, bringing in quite a different pace of energy.

In other words, this is your last chance to draw upon this revolutionary energy to make a radical change. Uranus in Aries can truly change anything and everything. Ask yourself how can you step into the highest version of yourself? What would you do? What would your life look like? It’s time to invent YOU.

Be aware of the sometimes-selfish energy that can surround Uranus in Aries  though. With sun, moon and wild Uranus all transiting hot-headed Aries, don’t let your temper get the best of you. This is a bundle that prefers action over thought, and easily bring us into a fight or flight mode. Still, hard as it may seem, try and see if you can manage to be mindful about it.

When you get angry – and we all do sometimes – before latching out, make an effort to return to your breath and ask yourself why you get angry. And no, it is not the other persons fault. You alone are responsible for how you feel. Still, there is always a reason for our anger, most of the time it is just not the first reason that comes to mind.

You see, we don’t get angry where a wound is not triggered. Believe it or not, anger is pretty much fear on steroids. But instead of beating yourself-  or whoever triggered your anger(!) – up about it, see if you can use these moments of anger to get to know yourself better. The darkness that always surrounds the new moon, presents the perfect backdrop for stillness, introspection and some real soul searching. And too often we are scared of what we will find in the stillness, and that is why it is so much easier to latch out in anger and blame the world around us, rather than looking within. But, even though fiery Aries may have a temper, he is a brave one too, and never afraid to step into the unknown, so why not draw in some of the ram’s courage before facing your demons.

In fact, the confident energy from Aries  might make you realize that you are capable of so much more than you have given yourself credit for. Remind yourself that you are worthy and deserving of all your heart’s wishes – then go for it! I mean, if not now, when, right? Life is way too short to sit around and wait for second chances!

Moreover, Aries  being the sign of Self, this new moon also calls you to set an intention solely for you? Self-love is always integral to the path ahead, and who said a date night with yourself couldn’t be just as fun! If you take the time needed to re-ignite your inner fire, you will see how life almost instantly becomes bigger, brighter and more passionate ♡.

So what are you waiting for? This new moon in Aries  is here for you to take charge of your life. Remember that the Universe rewards those who dare to follow their heart, so embrace this unique and radical new moon energy while you have the chance. Believe in yourself, to make bold choices and take action! You don’t get to harness this powerful energy often, so be sure to make the most of it.

This is a time to upgrade and update. It is a time to do you. So set that bold new intention and find the courage needed to take the first step forward. Everything else will fall into place after that.

Trust that the world is ready for you, and let the magic happen!

New Moon Blessings
