Full Moon in Scorpio

Tuesday 27th April 4.31am

This is an intense, no nonsense Full Moon…

Our deepest subconscious memories are being dragged up to the surface.

Our feelings are under the spotlight and there is nowhere to hide.

Scorpio is the sign connected to the collective traumas of humanity, where repressed anger starts rising. It is the sign of death, change, transformation and release.

With tense aspects to Saturn, Mercury, Venus and Uranus it makes this full moon even more explosive.

What is helping our moon is the planet Mars. Mars is in Cancer (the sign of the moon), and the moon in the sign of Mars (Scorpio).

They are in mutual reception which means that Mars will help the moon. This means that we may be triggered into action by our emotions and in defence. Work with Mars!

Full moons are always an emotional time. This is going to be even more so, where our emotions help us to release that which we have been resisting the letting go of…

Preparation for our Full Moon:

Prepare a special Full Moon bath to immerse yourself in Scorpio waters. Include crystals around your bath, candles, petals and something to represent death and change.
We are going to explore a taboo topic this full moon, death… A Scorpio themed moon.
This is an amazing time to end something. The moon can grow no more and has reached the end of the line.
What has reached the end of the line in your life? What is dead in you and that does not give life to you?
What does Scorpio rule? The anus. The elimination space in our body.
Enough is enough, Scorpio is the sign that teaches us to cut ties and move on without looking back.
Think what do you need to release. What has kept you constipated? (The constipation is the tense aspect to Saturn in the sky)
What is calling to you in nature to include in your Full Moon ritual? Shells, flowers, crystals, coal?

Ritual Ingredients

This is a powerful Full Moon to release something you may have been resistant to let go. Something that has been lying dead inside you. Scorpio rules the body’s elimination system and we need to support this by drinking more water and staying hydrated. In this way we honour the waters of Scorpio and release the stagnation within…

Ingredients List:

Prepare a bath for yourself over this Full Moon period - we are in Full Moon juice for at least 48 hours either side of Tuesday’s Full Moon. A salt bath with flowers, a body scrub, candles and crystals.

Prepare some thoughts on what you want to release on this Full Moon
Have you been gifted shells, flowers, stones, crystals? I’ve been gifted a small white egg shell from a newly birthed bird. A new beginning.
To welcome in new beginnings we must clear the path ahead. Think about what is dead inside you and holding you back. What is an old story and what are you holding onto that no longer belongs on your path ahead? What is ending for you and has reached the end of the line from your life.
Our Moon is in some tense aspects with planets in Taurus and Aquarius. For instance she is in a very challenging aspect to Saturn (fears, resistance and constipated/stagnant energy).
Gather any of the below or add what you wish:

Your Moon journal and pen
A candle, a feather, water in a small bowl
Something to represent what is dead and ready for release. Something to either bury, release in the river or into a fire. (I have a cup that was gifted to me by an ex that I shall be releasing into the sea)
A Mars or Scorpio crystal(s) or any stone black or red, even a piece of coal will do…
Flowers/petals (you do not have to buy any as nature is plenty with them while the sun is in Taurus :-)
Tarot cards or oracle cards. Do not worry if you do not have these.
A wand or stick (do not worry if you don’t either, it is not essential).
Nettle tea / turmeric tea / ginger tea prepared with care. Do not worry if you do not have these. A warm drink will be just fine.
