Super Full Moon in Scorpio: Releasing the Darkness into the Light
The first Full Moon of April, also known as “Pink Moon”, will fall in 7°05’ of the mysterious and magnetic sign of Scorpio on the 27th of April. We are given the opportunity to plunge deep beneath the surface and shine a light on some jaw-dropping revelations.
Depending on how you use this energy, this week could either be healing and transformative, or hectic and possibly even dramatic! Let’s have a look at the 3 faceted energy we’re going to be experiencing.
Nurturing the Soil
After a fire-fuelled, action-driven trip through Aries season, we are slowing down this second half of April as we enter the Earthy, feminine, and Fixed sign of Taurus.
If Taurus season had a motto, it would be “Relax, time and attention is the secret behind every masterpiece”. The stubborn, yet patient and enduring energy of Taurus is reminding us to take things slow: the intentions we planted earlier in the month during the Aries New Moon are now having a chance to be consolidated, to materialize, and to blossom.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, so grant yourself the permission to give and receive, to indulge in your senses, and to shift your awareness to the incredible abundance you’re surrounded with on a daily basis.
With a Stellium in Fixed signs (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Lilith), patience, determination, and resilience may be collective themes during this second half of April; but we could also be plagued with resistance, stubbornness, and even rigidity.
Find the right balance between a firm grasp and holding on way too tight. Don’t take things too personally, keep a practical approach and watch out for the inability to compromise. Like Ani DiFranco once said in her song, what doesn't bend breaks indeed.
Water, please!
The Full Moon is like a big cosmic climax where emotions are at the forefront. So it is without surprise that, in the deepest water sign, this Pink Moon in Scorpio will be all about sensitivity and intensity.
The Full Moon is also a time of completion when we harvest the fruits of our labor and release what doesn’t serve us anymore on an emotional level. This lunar phase has a magical way of bringing things to the surface, may they be hidden wounds or forgotten dreams.
Scorpio is related to secrets and taboos, but also to the process of metamorphosis, death, rebirth, intimacy, change, and healing. During these upcoming lunar days, we will be challenged to release our resistance to inner change, and potentially face the darkest sides of our psyche.
Ask yourself the following questions: What do I need to let go of in order to reach my goals? What emotions, patterns, behaviors, or limiting beliefs would the best version of myself release? What needs to die within me, in order to birth new life?
This lunar phase will act as a reminder that there is tremendous power in expressing and acknowledging the uncomfortable emotions of life, the shadows, without identifying with them or suppressing them. Or else, we could fall into the shadow side of Scorpio: decay, obsession, morbidity, jealousy, or even manipulation.
Whenever the Phoenix-like energy of Scorpio is involved, profound and mystical spiritual experiences arise. Connecting with others on a soul level and utilizing this magnetic energy to gain insight, psychic mastery and wisdom will be highly beneficial this week.
Here’s a little bonus tip: taking a look at where 7° of Scorpio falls in your chart may be useful to see where this Super Full Moon energy could unfold in your life, and to anticipate any sudden events or unexpected fallouts.
Deeper into the rabbit hole
The assertive, driven and action-oriented Mars enters the emotional, defensive, and protective Cancer on the 23rd of April. In this placement until June 11, our deep-rooted emotions, our family, and our loved ones will become our fuel to move forward.
With the Moon and Mars in water signs this week, this tendency to turn our emotions inwards will be even more so amplified, allowing us to heal certain areas of our life. Make sure to find healthy and creative ways to express your feelings to avoid being overwhelmed.
Allow these cosmic placements to reconnect you with your roots and give your steps a new flavor, but do not confuse wearing your heart on your sleeves or being passive-aggressive. Starting April 27, we will have to dive even more so into self-reflection and internal dialogues with Pluto entering its retrograde motion. So buckle up!
