Being the 8th sign of the Zodiac opposite Taurus (the 2nd sign), Scorpio often represents the flip side of our basic survival needs and our financial-material-physical resources which have us feel safe and secure. It represents the emotions behind those resources, the real motivation for our needs and desires in that regard.
With the Full Moon arriving at 4:09a PDT on Tuesday May 17th, this intense and polarizing energy makes its presence felt in a powerful and highly emotional way. And because we are in a Taurus Sun period, financial-material-physical resource and security matters are likely the focus of those emotions. If these matters have been in limbo for you, you can be sure that something is going to be decided or chosen around this time through emotion-based response(s).
Scorpio is an “all-or-nothing” kind of energy. It tends to go from one extreme to the other to seek and find your desired result(s) or to gain control or power in a situation. It is an intense and transformative energy that encourages destruction so that the slate may be cleared, encourages “death” in order to give “birth” to something new. It is a water sign, so it is emotional in its nature and origin. It is similar to Taurus in that control and power are at the heart of matters…yet in water-based Scorpio, those matters are dealt with in an exact opposite manner to Taurus’ earth-based tendency to stand firm with unwavering determination.
If you have more Taurus influence in your chart, this Full Moon period may find you wanting to make a decision in a particular area of your life just to make one so any indecision you may be experiencing comes to an end. If you fear that things are going in a direction you do not want them to go, you may do something to counter or oppose that direction, trying to control the situation.
If you have more Scorpio influence in your chart, this Full Moon period may find you waiting for a decision to be made rather than your usual forcing of the issue. You may find that you are less inclined to destroy and start again, and more inclined to hold your position. In fact, you may find yourself feeling pressured by others or by circumstances to do something you don’t want to do or to make a choice you don’t want to make.
Chances are you are experiencing circumstances and facing choices that have you asking what you’re really willing to go “all-in” for. There may be reason for you to question the course you are on. This may have you feeling quite a bit of pressure. The funny thing is that most of this pressure may be coming from your own emotional undercurrent. It may be influenced by those around you…but likely it’s being generated from within.
Some of us may feel like we’re being tested. And the question at hand is…what are you really committed to having in your life?
Is what you have in your life right now what has you feel safe, secure, and fulfilled?
Are your current circumstances what you truly desire for yourself and your life?
Now’s your chance to earnestly choose for yourself. Keep it or let it go. It’s up to you.
Make the most of this Scorpio Full Moon energy, and enjoy the week.
Until the next post…
~ Light, Love, and Blessings,
Grace
