Full Moon in Scorpio

The Moon will reach her shining glory on Sunday, April 20, 2008, at 6:27am, EDT, in the mysterious sign of Scorpio. This is bound to be an emotional time that is saturated with passion – encouraging us all to step outside of ourselves, in order to embrace this lunar gift of, “living in the now.” Expect to feel the effects of the full moon a few days before and after – or longer, depending on where it falls in your chart (some full moons will affect you more than others).

Scorpio is the sensual energy of mystery, the sultry passion of sex. Confidence and intrigue tend to ooze from this sign, along with a sense of deeper wisdom that floats to the surface with calculated precision. The surface of Scorpio energy is that of calm water, still and smooth as glass. Like any lake, or ocean, what lies beneath the surface can burst into a spray or explosion, should the currents be stirred.

Each month when the Moon reaches her peak, she brings with her the manifestation of efforts and energy spent the month before. This Scorpio moon promises to bring answers to questions, solutions to problems, and the chance to view things from a different light. As she rises high in the Scorpio sky, you may uncover more truths than you bargained for!

The power of now
Allowing yourself to live for each moment, as it passes by, can be challenging – but also very rewarding. The Full Moon in Scorpio offers us all the chance to feel more, understand more, and be more by exploring our own desires and soul.

This is a gift of change that we all can tap into during this time. Scorpio is the sign of regeneration, of death, and rebirth in its most natural state. It is only when we are consciously aware of the life going on around us, as it exists, that we can more clearly see how things will evolve, piecing together fragments of secrets, making quiet sense of what would otherwise remain unknown. Scorpio energy always pays attention – even the smallest detail is not over-looked.

Always prepared with an idea, goal, or plan, Scorpio energy embraces the now, caressing and encouraging this moment in a manner that will be beneficial to the next. While many of us lack in Scorpio’s patience, we can still embrace the Scorpio theory that if the objective is worthwhile, no sacrifice is too great.

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Tap into your intuition and back it with Scorpio’s lunar shower of shrewdness, to advance your goals on the material plane. If money is your mission, use that passion to bide your time and think through the plans that will bring you the success you deserve.

Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
The Scorpio Moon is likely to enhance your personal creativity, especially when it comes to expressing your emotions to the people you adore. Find some time in your carefully scheduled life to enjoy some fun with friends and family.

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Follow Scorpio’s quieter side, by talking less and listening more. Personal and professional relationships are likely to grow, because your attention and intuition will reveal what you need to know.

Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Passion flows as ideas are exchanged, and plans will be laid to accomplish goals. Support is likely to be offered and compromises met, boosting your ego with confirmation that you are on the right path.

Desire
Scorpio understands that if you live as if you have all you desire, your desires will ultimately be met. Desire in and of itself, is passion. Take some time to focus on your goals, and unleash your passion for obtaining them! Every moment passes swiftly, bringing fulfillment just as quickly – especially when you strive to make the most of what you have.
