Full Moon in Scorpio – April 22, 2016
According to the Moon cards, this Full Moon in Water is a time of Fulfilment. Of course, it being a Scorpio Water moon, this is all about our emotions. “Feelings, nothing more than feelings”
The great news is that this Moon indicates a successful outcome to an emotional issue. You are feeling satisfied, accomplished, and fulfilled. That being said, don’t revel in it. Don’t get too cocky about it. The very nature of Scorpio – extremism – could cause you to get a little too dramatic or over-emotional about the whole thing. It’s okay, you don’t have to share your bliss with EVERYONE. Nor do you need to talk incessantly about it. The safest bet is to hug your good news close and just enjoy it quietly.
For further info, I pulled a Goddess and a Moon Mansion card. The Goddess who appeared is Hectate, a Black Earth Goddess. Hectate is HUGELY powerful and indicates that you are seeing in all directions, but warns you to not get too caught up in the past. Hectate wants you to let go of past pain and move confidently toward future opportunities. Hectate showing her face for a Scorpio Moon tells me that it’s definitely a time to let go of emotional attachments – past lovers, former friends – who no longer serve you. Release them with love and move on. It’s time. Hectate – and I love this – is a death and rebirth Black Goddess who demands that you get your priorities in order. The sadness that surrounds you over past losses – no matter how significant or recent or painful – serves no one. Least of all you.
The Moon Mansion Card – Bouquet – at first glance, certainly appears to illustrate happy news around love and romance. But don’t be fooled by appearances; this card actually denotes the occurrence of an unexpected or illicit love affair or relationship. Whoops. That being said, the good news is that you can prepare yourself to experience a sudden, intense feeling of love. Rather than an affair, perhaps the card merely represents falling in love with the last person you’d ever expect to…..that certainly sounds more positive than falling in love with the worst person you could choose for yourself, right? But know that with Bouquet showing, the possibilities are endless. As with everything else in life, awareness is key. Eyes wide open.
This is a very interesting spread. If I had to break it down for a client, the key messages I’d want her to receive would be as follows:
This is a time of contentment for you, you’re feeling fulfilled. But the cards strongly indicate that it’s time to let go of the past, and especially any past romantic entanglements that you are holding on to. As well, at this time, beware of being swept off your feet by instant and intense connections to new lovers. There’s an energy here that has the potential to knock you on your ass, it’s big and it’s all-consuming, and it might not be at all healthy for you. So proceed with cautious awareness!
