Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
We are in extremely chaotic times. We are getting messages in many forms, from our bodies, from chance encounters with strangers or old acquaintances, unfinished business coming to the surface, interpersonal challenges, real life obstacles... We are likely having hard conversations, or experiencing realizations that could be uncomfortable or different than what we had expected, or realizing what we thought that we wanted actually doesn’t matter to us anymore (or vice versa).
This Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is demanding our full attention and presence. We are being called to release old habits and patterns that are keeping us from shedding the skin that we no longer fit in. If you can, put rest at the top of your to do list. Listen to cues from your body. Turn up the volume on your Intuition. When you feel like you have to deny your Self in order to fulfill the need of someone or something else, ask yourself if it really deserves the level of urgency you are giving it. As we are releasing old ways of being and thinking, big emotions are stirring up as we mourn the death of our former selves. The only way is through. The energy for some will feel like it’s just too much. If you turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, notice how this makes you feel - I invite you to get curious about the ways you respond to uncomfortable emotions. When we turn to maladaptive coping mechanisms that numb, we AVOID the whole process, the energy gets stuck, and it stays in our body until we consciously make the decision to let it out. It prolongs our healing process and keeps us in lower vibrations, preventing us from experiencing our most vital expression of our Selves. What if you responded differently? What if you self-regulated in a way that completely acknowledged your experience? What if instead you wrote how you felt in a journal, called a friend, let out a scream, cried your eyes out, ran until you couldn’t breathe, danced until you collapsed… when we have big feelings, it helps to move, so they can move out. After a big release, rest. Drink lots of water, take a bath, cozy up with a cup of tea, order your favorite meal, watch a movie or a show you like - release judgment you have about what brings you comfort. Medicine comes in all forms. We are learning to re-parent ourselves - treat yourself as if you were your own child in need of soothing.
What sorts of insightful, charged, passionate conversations have you been having lately? Nothing is a coincidence, pay close attention to the themes that are coming up now, because we will see them being amplified as the cosmos spiral… Mercury Rx and Uranus in Taurus are sitting with this full moon, spotlighting our values, both personal and collective. How have they changed? We may be realizing that things that once seemed really important don’t actually matter to us. We are seeing beyond the limitations of an archaic lens. As you begin to form the foundations of a value system that is aligned with YOUR truth and YOUR path, what is now revealing itself as non-negotiable? What ways of being are you permissioning yourself to assert that you denied in the past because of social norms or group think? Transformation is happening, and we are along for the ride. Ride the wave, or get caught in the undertow… either way, we will all somehow end up on the shore…
These times are really challenging, and also extremely exciting. Change is in the air, and fear and doubt can sneak in and keep us small. If we do the work, stay authentic, and continue to put one foot in front of the other, magick happens. Stay honest about what you want, and know that you deserve exactly that.
Stay curious, stay kind. Take a f*cking nap :)
