April 23
The Scorpio Full Moon is exact at 7:50pm at 5 degrees. The Moon in Scorpio intensifies the emotional landscape and encourages you to explore your feelings more deeply. This Full Moon culminates what began at the Aries solar eclipse two weeks ago, and six months ago at the Taurus Full Moon. Expect revelations around sex, death, other people’s money, shared resources, what’s hidden and taboo, and secrets.
The aspects made by the Full Moon foretell the energy to come over the upcoming two weeks. The only aspect made by the Full Moon is a square to Pluto (ruler of the Full Moon). This indicates over the next two weeks you'll address power dynamics and other intense and uncomfortable emotions that have been buried. Unconscious fears and desires may creep into your psyche for you to confront. You'll become aware of the use of manipulation by others to dominate you or gain control. Also, expect to face your dark side and the tactics you use to get take control and assert your power regardless of how it impacts others. Be mindful of feelings such as jealousy, possessiveness, or obsessiveness. The best way to use this energy is to shed what’s old and no longer working for you, and move forward more empowered. Clinging to what’s dead doesn’t leave room for new growth. Purge toxic and old energy to catalyze a catharsis.
The Full Moon is conjunct asteroid Elatus (31824). Elatus is said to mean, “eloquence, to mislead, to deceive, “dodging a bullet”, and “the ability to escape from the most difficult situations.”
