There is something about the Full Moon in Scorpio, which happens around this time every year, that has us scouring our souls and contemplating deep truths. Springtime is not all tulips and daffodils in our consciousness; it’s a time of rebirth and renewal, which necessitates awareness around who we’ve become and what we’re leaving behind. The good news is that you’re due for insight into how best to chart your own path, based on the honest truth, for any place that you may be feeling stuck or unsure.
For the last couple of months (or more, depending on where you live), our daily lives have been altered by isolation, and Scorpio craves deep, profound connection. We’ve had to make radical adjustments to how we get our needs for connection met, and this full moon serves as a potent marking point: how is that working for you? Next week Venus in Gemini will go retrograde, placing additional emphasis on our relationships and relationship patterns. This is a great time to learn new communication skills with your partner. Are you able to ask for what you need in a compassionate way? Do you have time set aside where you can talk to each other without any interruptions? Is it time to establish some ground rules for tackling topics that are charged/bring up defensiveness? This full moon will help you prioritize what patterns/habits you are ready to let go of and therefore focus your attention on where you seek to build your relating skills in the next couple of months.
Neptune squares Venus, softening and opening your heart. This is an aspect of vulnerability as well as inspiration. You are opening up to a new dream for yourself in your relationships, and Neptune enters stage left to blur and soften your focus so that you can receive this new dream. Mars in Aquarius is in a nice trine to Venus, helping you to take appropriate, aligned action on your desires. As both of these planets are in air signs, you should have technology on your side to support authentic connection with others, no matter your physical distance from them.
Saturn is moving into a square with Uranus, which will wane in effect for the last half of 2020 and then move into full force in 2021. You’re getting inklings of where you want to make some dramatic changes. Now is not the time to necessarily make them, however, it is a good time to attend to the stirrings in your soul directing you towards areas that you are desiring more freedom in. These are long term transformations and you have the time to implement them in a way that is most compassionate to yourself. Right now your job is information gathering without jumping to conclusions prematurely.
Questions to Ponder: What stirrings in my soul are presenting themselves? Where is my emotional energy strongest right now? How can I be honest with myself and those I love about what really matters to me?
