Full Moon in Scorpio – a pink Moon that brings release

The current activation of the Scorpio-Taurus axis highlights the inner conflict we all experience, to some degree, between our drive to ensure survival by gravitating towards the familiar and our Soul’s desire to transform, grow, and challenge existing limitations. The Full Moon in Scorpio reminds us of the necessity of letting go of something to allow evolution.

 

On April 24, we experience the Full Moon at 4º17′ Scorpio. This emotionally intense lunation invites us to explore our resistance to change, become intimate with our fears, recognize unacknowledged desires, and illuminate the shadows within.

 

The Full Moon in Scorpio is essential for those born with personal placements close to 4º of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Individuals more personally affected by this lunation will be able to access greater clarity about their emotional world and habitual reaction patterns. They can deepen their intimacy with themselves and others, face their inner demons, and uncover unconscious desires.

 

Full Moons are the peak and the maturing point of the lunar cycle. They occur two weeks after the New Moon and offer us an opportunity to clarify the process we embarked on when the lunar month began. The current Moon cycle started with a total solar eclipse during the New Moon in Aries, and the journey that began then is now becoming more apparent. This Full Moon in Scorpio offers us more insight into the process unfolding, revealing potentially uncomfortable truths previously hidden from our awareness and illuminating our path forward.

 

Embracing complexity and intensity

We have just entered Taurus season and experienced the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, which is still active. Energy shifts from Yang, fire, the cardinal sign of Aries, to Yin, earth, the fixed quality of Taurus, which gravitates toward simplicity, comfort, and slowness.

 

During a time of year focused on deepening our embodiment, cultivating self-sufficiency, and getting back in touch with our inherent worth, the Full Moon in Scorpio sheds light on our relationship with other people and their resources, values, and finances, as well as issues surrounding sexuality, entanglement, and power.

 

Full Moon in Scorpio: Exploring Resistance to Change

The current activation of the Scorpio-Taurus axis highlights the inner conflict we all experience, to some degree, between our drive to ensure survival by gravitating towards the known and familiar and our Soul’s desire to transform, grow, and challenge existing limitations. The Full Moon in Scorpio reminds us of the necessity of letting go of something to allow evolution.

Representing the climax of a lunar cycle that began with a powerful total solar eclipse during the New Moon in Aries conjunct Chiron, this event offers us an invitation to explore our resistance to change, understand where it comes from, become intimate with our fears and bring light to our unconscious.
