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 May 7th 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.

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

With the sun in Aries, April 8th brings a soft, pink full moon (exact at 04.35 AM Oslo time) in Aries’ opposing sign, lovely Libra. Libra being the sign of love, harmony and partnerships this is an especially potent time to heal your past wounds and create new healthy relationships in your life.

As you may already know, all relationships mirror you in some way, and therefore can be amazing platforms for personal and spiritual growth. Our closest relationships are usually where our deepest insecurities and wounds are triggered, and by learning to slow down, take a step back to act out of understanding and love, finding compassion and patience to try and understand both ourselves as well as our partner – instead of reacting out of fear and insecurities – we can learn to grow, evolve and heal on a much deeper level. Because the hard truth is that if it feels like you’re in a never-ending hamster wheel, repeatedly falling into the same patterns in your life over and over, this is usually due to unresolved issues. And, as it is impossible to move past what you have not yet fully moved through, you can only truly heal what you are brave enough to feel. You need to feel it to heal it as they say <3

But this full moon is not only about relationships and romance. Libra may constantly wear rose-colored glasses, but she is also a peace-loving activist who craves balance in all aspects of her life. As always, the sun and full moon are zodiacal opposites, and with Libra opposing Aries, this an excellent time to do pause and check in, taking time to balancing out the opposing forces represented in your life at this time.

Aries and Libra represents the eternal dance between the masculine and the feminine energies of the universe: Ambitious, go getter Aries, ruled by action planet, Mars, and peace-loving Libra, ruled by the Goddess of love and abundance, Venus. It’s the ebb and flow of give and take, self and others, war and peace, endings and new beginnings. It’s the fiery light of Yang and the introspective darkness of Yin, both forces equally important, as one cannot exist without the other. Use this time to re-center yourself, then watch how the future path unfolds more clearly as your energy gets more balanced, making you more aligned with the Universe. 

But more than anything, wrap yourself up in the loving blanket of the harmonious and loving Libra energy. Shower yourself with self-love and shower those around you with love too. Embrace the imperfections of yourself and others, knowing that a beautiful facade more often than not masks a messy interior. Find you inner voice, speak up and be true to your authentic self.

Be accepting and forgiving. Practice daily gratitude, and be grateful for all that has been and for all that will be, well aware that your past challenges has simply been lessons of growth, helping you shed your layers and unwrapping your unique gifts of how you can be of service to heal the world around you.

Now, take some time to slow down and connect to April’s soft and loving pink moon. Be proud of how far you’ve come and congratulate yourself on all your hard work. Then go out and shine your light bright!

Today, March 9th, the sun and moon are again facing each other and it is time to welcome the last full moon of the astrological year at 19° Virgo (Exact tonight at 18.46 Oslo time).

And being the host of not only the last full moon of the astrological year, but also the Spring Equinox, March can indeed turn out to be a magical turning point in our lives.

March 20th (exact 04.49 am Oslo time) the sun stands still as the whole world balances on the tipping point of equal night and day. The sun then enters the first sign of the zodiac, go-getter Aries, and we will start the journey around the wheel of the zodiac once more. And, as we all know, new year means new beginnings, and with a stellium of planets in hard working Capricorn to drive us forward, we should all feel a not to subtle need to get s**t done at the moment.

But first things first. A full moon in the earthy and rational sign of Virgo brings with it an air of structure and neatness. Virgo needs to feel needed, and thrives best when she can be of service. This goddess is the natural ruler of the zodiac’s 6th house of health and service, so why not use this full moon to be of service to yourself and your loved ones? As always the full moon is a time to do some personal inventory, so start by checking in with yourself as well as your loved ones, then make a plan as to how you can be of service to the world and take care of yourself at the same time. A good plan is indeed the key to a Virgo’s ♡.

This full moon is not only structure and neathness though. Opposing the Virgo full moon is the sun in the emotional water sign of Pisces, currently in a close conjunction with its ruler Neptune. Both Pisces’ and Neptune’s energy have a tendency to cloud our perception and the Pisces sun may therefore bring with him a feeling of distortion and confusion. Thus, however grounded and structured Virgo may be, when she is forced to face the sun head on in fluid, irrational Pisces, the energy surrounding us at this time may for some feel far from grounded, and closer to an internal war zone between our head (Virgo) and our heart (Pisces) instead.

Virgo likes plans and structure. Pisces likes to ebb and flow. Virgo likes to have her barriers up. In Pisces our guard is down. This water sign leave us feeling soft and malleable. Fluid and changeable. And utterly ruled by our emotions. This is not an easy task to handle for a structured Virgo who prefer everything in order, in it’s right place, at all times. Virgo simply doesn’t know what to do with it. It’s like trying to grasp water with a strainer or controlling the tides of the ocean, which needless to say makes Virgo feel both anxious and overwhelmed.

On a positive note, if you can find the means to not get carried away by your emotioms you have the opportunity to really ground yourself here on planet earth at this time. Truth be told, we are having quite an overwhelming amount of earth energy spinning around as we speak, so why not draw in the practical and structured energy Virgo, mixe it with a powerful stellium of Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter, Mars and South Node in goal-oriented Capricorn and add a sprinkle of Venus + Uranus in resilient Taurus and get those goals rolling?!

Be sure to add some patience to your mix too though. We often tend to grasp for answers we are not supposed to have yet, but the earth element is here to remind us that we are indeed ALLOWED to take it slow – as long as we keep moving that is. Slow and steady wins the race as they say. There is simply no need – at least not at this time – to resolve everything at once. If you feel lost and confused, all you need to do is stop, breathe and touch base with your roots again.

Often seem to think that all the answers are ‘out there’, when the truth is that intuition comes from rooting down and feeling grounded, NOT from ‘flying high’, which means that the answers are more likely to be ‘down there’. In other words
, if you can manage to ground yourself properly, the intuitive influence from Neptune in Pisces may bring a couple of insights and missing pieces to the table.

And truth be told, with Virgo’s diligence, Taurus’ rock steady patience and Capricorns practicality surrounding you, you shouldn’t have too much trouble staying put if a Neptunian emotional tidal wave is about to hit you. This earthy trio will help you sort confusion and delusion from true universal guidance and guide you down the right path.

The dept of Neptune in Pisces, can also help us to add some much needed water to all the earth that may be cracked and dry. In other words, if you feel that you have run dry, you can draw on the water element to help you soften a bitor if you feel to emotional, draw inn the earth. You can’t build anything from dry, brittle, earth, and neither from a mud pond, but mix just the right amount of water woth earth and you have clay to build an empire!

Sort out everything in your life that isn’t serving your highest good. What you are filling your days with? Your life? Practice self love, and be patient with yourself as you restore and heal what may be broken. Trust that whatever is coming up for you around this full moon are the areas in your life that truly needs healing, and let your intuition guide you toward the perfect solution, knowing that if you just dare to trust your souls soft guiding, you are indeed capable of amazing things.

Set an intention to be guided, then surrender yourself to the magnificent wisdom of mother moon. Breathe and sit in stillness, honoring that quiet voice within. After all, you need to be quiet to hear your souls wisper.

Full Moon blessings ♡

The sun is in earthy and stable Capricorn and opposing the ambitious, structured Capricorn sun, we have Friday’s Full Moon and lunar eclipse in domestic and loving Cancer.

These two signs in many way represents the yin and the yang. The masculine and the feminine. The Capricorn sun is strong, solid and disciplined. The Cancer Moon is soft, fluid and adaptable. And with the Full Moon in a watery and sensitive sign as Cancer, this lunar eclipse will be highly emotional for many, bringing emotional wounds, deep rooted fears and vulnerabilities to the surface.

In combination with the lunar eclipse and the extremely intense Capricorn energy that surrounds us at the moment with Jupiter 8°, Mercury 20°, Saturn 22° and Pluto 22° ALL joining the sun 20° in Capricorn as we speak, this planetary juju will for many feel like their very foundation is collapsing. Not to mention, with Saturn+Pluto in exact conjunction in Capricorn at the time of this lunar eclipse in sensitive Cancer, emotions are likely to be running high, bringing feelings such as anger, fear, guilt, shame and deep wounds to the surface – pushing a transformation whether we like it or not.

The old paradigm and the old structures have to fall. This a time of death and rebirth, calling you to embrace your inner power, finding the strength to truly open up to cry, release and let go. Remember that pain, sadness and depression is there to be released, and that in order to create a revolution, darkness has to rise to the surface. But when January 2020 feels like one long renovation project – with the project being renovated being you – remember this; when you’re close to have a breakdown, when it feels like everything is lost and your floating around in your groundlessness with nothing to hold on to, that all breakdowns are really breakthroughs, and what we all need to be able to expand, grow and evolve our heart and soul. Whatever leaves our lives between a solar eclipse (the new moon two weeks back) and lunar eclipse (Friday’s full moon) is usually final, and destined to end at that time. It will most likely not be coming back. And even though it might hurt like h*** at the moment – breathe sweetheart ♡. Remind yourself that when everything seems to be falling apart – it is more often falling in to place. And, that when tings are lost in your life – or people leave – it is often to make space for better things to enter.

Be gentle with yourself through the process, and give yourself time to rest and restore, gently reminding yourself that this is a transition phase. The one thing certain is that “this too shall pass”. Trust that whatever issues arise, your heart already holds the wisdom you need to guide yourself and reach the shore. Most importantly; rest assured that what is ment for you will always, always find you ♡.

Take some time for yourself tonight, and connect with your inner guide, letting your inner divine gently guide you. Remember that you are never ment to see the whole path, just to trust the next step, and that if you are brave enough to surrender and let go of the eternal need for control, you will see just how perfectly everything is unfolding when you let go and let the Universe do her magic. The Universe has your back, never doubt that ♡.
