April’s Intense Scorpio Full Moon

SUPERMOON

This full moon in Scorpio is known as a SUPERMOON - it's closer to the earth than normal, and we feel it's affects more than usual.

Anytime the moon is in a water sign, emotional sensitivity is heightened, and it is especially so with this supermoon in the transformative + powerful + deep sign of Scorpio.

Scorpio is all about diving to our depths and facing the truths that we may prefer to shy away from. Through this process, we can allow ourselves the deepest and most transformative form of healing.

POWERFUL CHANGE

As with all full moons, the sun and the moon are in opposite signs, with opposing energies.

Right now, the sun is in security + comfort-driven Taurus, while the moon is in growth-oriented Scorpio. To top it off. Uranus, the planet of change + unpredictability, is conjunct the Sun.

All of this speaks to this being a time of powerful change. With Uranus in the mix, there could be some unsettling/disruptive energy. It's important to keep in mind that these changes have the potential to serve our higher purpose, but only if we are willing to tap into Scorpio's energy and face what's there.

DEEP HEALING

The moon is also making a harmonious trine with Mars, the planet of action, in Cancer, the sign of the healer.

This planetary aspect is supportive of the inherently intense energy that Scorpio brings. It highlights that if we are willing to confront our shadows and shine light on the truth, we can heal ourselves and then bring that healing to others.

Mars in Cancer also reminds us to nurture ourselves in the process. To treat ourselves with care and love and kindness while we work through our challenges.

DO THE WORK

Squares are always indicative of tension that has the potential to spur on our evolution. Right now, the moon is making a square to Saturn, the planet of responsibility + boundaries + our "Great Work", in Aquarius, the sign of the individual.

This underscores that the "work" of this full moon is to take personal responsibility and be accountable for our emotional reactions. To set the boundaries that allow our individual natures to shine through. To really do the work that this full moon is asking of us.
