Lunar Currents:
Full Moon In Scorpio
The full moon in Scorpio on Saturday, May 9, one minute after midnight Eastern Time, is designed to expose a missing piece of your own nature. Have you been keeping something from yourself? Has someone you love been keeping something from you? If you feel an intense pulling in your gut, that's the reason why. Just remember, Scorpio's great lesson is that external difficulties are produced by the part of your own inner nature that hasn't yet owned something buried in the shadows. Scorpio works territories of the taboo, verboten, those boogey-men that find ways to keep coming back until you wake up and realize they're products of your disowned nature. The craziness of Scorpio occurs when the demons strike and we get all caught up in the artificial drama of it all, which the ego creates in order to justify its own existence. Beyond the drama of ego, however, lies a more direct realm, where profound breakthrough becomes the main reason for why you got yourself in the thick of dilemma in the first place. Let the midnight Scorpio Moon shine its penetrating rays in this part of you, and you'll be in store for a reunion.
Sunday, May 24 brings a new moon in early Gemini at 8:11 AM Eastern. The great gift of a Gemini moon is the ability to make way for the unknown, open up a portal to let fresh currents blow through. Along with this evolutionary portal goes the reluctance to accept life as normal. Boredom with the way things are, restless search for the opening, now are signs that you're tuned into lunar currents. During each new moon, though, it's more important to open than to know, more timely to imagine than to nail down. The sheer tentative quality of new moonness fits Gemini's fabled restlessness. Staying alive, keeping touch with the cool track of improvisation, trying on the coat of many colors, reimagining your path to the future are the best ways to use this moon.
