Wednesday, May 10th at 5:42 pm EST we have a full moon in Scorpio. Pluto will be in utmost harmony with this full moon. Saturn retrograde will be in trine with the recently perfected Uranus Mercury conjunction. Neptune will be beginning to form a square with Mars. Mars will be beginning to trine Jupiter. The forming aspects will perfect a day or two after the full moon but their influence will already be felt around this time. And last but certainly not least, as this next transit will have have a major influence on us all for the next 18 months or so, the Lunar nodes would have just changed signs the day before this moon. This full moon is not only about a culmination as all full moon are, it’s also about deep transformation and the resetting of our collective destiny.
This full moon happens in the sign of Scorpio, Scorpio is ruled by pluto, Pluto retrograde in Capricorn will be sextile the moon and it will be in trine with the moon’s light source, the sun. This is about exceedingly deep transformation. And a very positive transformation at that since pluto is making harmonious aspects to the two elements that compose this full moon. To further highlight this energy of transformation it is happening in the sign under pluto’s rulership. This full moon is swollen with scorpionic energy. It is about passion, intensity, and extremely transformative experiences. The full moon represents a point of culmination, whatever comes to a head around this time transforms us deeply. This is when metaphorically the caterpillar leaves its cocoon and discovers its brilliant new wings. This culmination gives the opportunity for our best selves to emerge from deep within our inner recesses.
This is highlighted by the north node moving into Leo the day before. The north node in Leo is about following our heart. Putting ourselves on stage. Giving ourselves over to joy and revelry. The culmination around the full moon transforms us and gets us ready to embody our nascent collective Leo destiny. The concerns of Virgo are put aside for now. What was mastered while the north lunar node transited that sign now gives way joy. Virgo is about perfecting, tweaking, dotting i’s and crossing t’s. Now that is done. Now it’s time to enjoy. To give ourselves over to creativity and fun. This deeply scorpionic full moon uses the transformative powers of Pluto positively to shed us of whatever is getting in the way of that. Again, this moon gives us the opportunity to shed the desiccated husk of our former caterpillar selves, and emerge brilliant and light. There could be very deep intense emotions around this time. Almost obsessive proclamations of love could surface. Things can become passionate and carnal. Feelings are felt with such intensity that they seem as if they are erupting through our bodies. It is the moment where joy is so intense it inspires tears and it becomes almost indistinguishable from sorrow. Everything is felt to the very core of our being and it inspires deep lasting transformations that move us towards our bliss. This full moon heals in a manner that is hard to convey. In the future when we look back around the time of this full moon it is very likely that we will recognize it as a moment when something in our lives changed and moved us towards greater fulfillment.
Mercury and Uranus will have just perfected their conjunction for the third time in three months a few hours before the full moon. The moons transformative elements could carry the energy of this conjunction. The energy of this conjunction is that of surprise, breakthroughs, fast progress, and reversal but it will be in the process of becoming trine with Saturn and that should really stabilize things. It makes the breakthroughs and progress around this conjunction very real, lasting, and tangible. This signature of breakthroughs, of fast pace change, of the caprice, are very active around this scorpionic full moon. It could be something of this nature that sparks the transformative culminations indicated by this moon. It is an exceedingly special time.
Mars will begin to square Neptune. This aspect will perfect the day after the full moon. Its influence will be active during this full moon. This could be a bit of confusion. It could represent some disorientation around this deeply transformative time which is to be expected. It’s a reminder to be somewhat measured. The temptation to push forward into something nebulous, where all the details are not clear or known is high, this is just warning us that though we are having all of these breakthroughs and deeply transformative experiences that are moving us towards our bliss, to not let that blind us and cause us to wantonly partake in things without proper examination. The flip side is that Mars will be simultaneously beginning to trine Jupiter and will perfect the aspect on the 12th, two days after the full moon, again, still influencing this moon. This is very lucky. It imbues our actions, our desires, our drives, our self-assertion with luck and grandeur. It can make us somewhat egotistical but a bit of ego can be fun when measured and I think that is what the square to Neptune is warning us of. It is reminding us to be measured or we can get carried away in a flight of fancy or delusion. Overall though, this full moon is spectacular. It’s fun and sexy. It’s intense and lends itself to deep positive transformation. It is magical through and through. Take advantage of it. Enjoy it. Let it transform you into your best self.
