The Moon moves into Scorpio on Saturday evening at 6:47 p.m. Pacific Time and becomes full on Sunday evening. Because this month’s Full Moon falls in the domain of the Scorpion it will highlight personal power dynamics, possessions, other people’s money, sexuality and deep internal transformations. As a water sign, Scorpio represents our emotional realm and most specifically, our deep subconscious—also known as the underworld by the native shamans.
This lunation cycle has the potential to suddenly illuminate hidden agendas and encourage long overdue transformation. If you desire change you will want to embrace this powerful Full Moon to transmute and transform your life.
Scorpio is feminine in nature and symbolizes the element of water. Its spiritual essence is symbolized by the divine shakti—energy and power—which is recognized as the many faces of the divine feminine. In the Hindu tradition the divine shakti is known as the divine mother, the universal creator, destroyer of evil and sustainer of all life. Her many faces are acknowledged as Kali, Durga, and the only female companion of Lord Shiva—Parvati. The divine union of Shiva and Parvati is symbolic of the powerful merger of equality between the sacred feminine and masculine.
Scorpio encourages us to embrace the mysteries of death and rebirth. Cycles of darkness that encourage us to go deep within will eventually awaken us to the wisdom and light of our true nature. If you find you are stuck in a defeating karmic cycle it may be that you have allowed yourself to become disempowered in that area of your life. Therefore, embrace this potent Full Moon as a powerful catalyst to transform self-defeating patterns and give birth to new and self-empowered aspects of YOU!
The Full Moon in Scorpio only occurs once a year during the Lunar cycle when the Moon is in opposition to the Sun and reflecting the solar energies of the zodiac sign Taurus. This is important because Saturn will be retrograding out of the sign of Sagittarius and will move back into Scorpio for a period of three months from June 15-September 18. Therefore, this Full Moon may offer a sneak preview of what is to unfold for your summer.
