Full Moon in Scorpio : Cultivating Our New Foundations and Releasing the Old

On Saturday May 18th 2019 (at 2:11 PM PST) we will have a Full Moon in Scorpio. We are out of the last two Moon cycles which dealt heavily with relationships and heralded many turning points. Now with what we've learned from those phases it's time for some major release. Since the New Moon in Taurus you may have been planting new seeds and watching them grow, but with the beginning of certain things we must shed some old things. 

This Full Moon is taking place on the Scorpio/Taurus axis. Taurus is about building new foundations and is a stable, yet fertile sign. Scorpio is about transformation and ending the old. Pluto is the planet that rules Scorpio and it's been a big player in the astrology lately. We've really been confronting things coming up from the depths of our own being and really being shown what needs to end, be transformed or released. Now is the time! 

Mercury is traveling close to the Sun during the Full Moon. I feel like it's bringing us information and insight we need during this time of culmination and release. Since it's traveling near the Sun in Taurus I feel like we may be getting insight around the new things we've been creating. Seeing in a practical way how to keep growing seeds we've planted. 

Venus and Uranus will basically be conjunct in Taurus around the Full Moon as well. Change is definitely in the air. There could be an element of the unexpected. Particularly around relationships. There's been tremendous changes and shifts around relationships and this time is no different. Whatever happens could be unexpected, but provide necessary shakeups. 

Neptune in Pisces is trine the North Node in Cancer during the Full Moon. This means we need to trust the universe, the flow and most of all our feelings. Our feelings and emotions need to be our guides for what to release and what to fertilize. This can be a very emotional time. Not just with this watery aspect, but because a Full Moon in Scorpio in general can be a time of a lot of emotional release. Purging feelings from the depths. Also, Mars just moved into the water sign of Cancer. We may be very emotionally driven at this time. The feelings are running high. 

~This may be feeling like an intense time! It's bringing lots of great opportunities for transformation and change however. Life is about cycles. There are times to cultivate the new and then times to release that which isn't serving. You could think of our lives as gardens, which we are in the midst of planting and tending to. While we tend our gardens there are inevitably weeds we must pull. That basically describes the current energy we are going through~ 

New Moon in Taurus 🌱

Since March 20th we've been dealing with some interesting lunar cycles what with two Full Moons in Libra. Relationships and our own independence and identity have been front and center. People were dealing with so many different scenarios and turning points. Now that phase has come to an end and we have reached a point where we can start fresh with this New Moon in Taurus on May 4th ( at 3:45 PM PST). 

New Moons represent a time where we can plant seeds and really start fresh. The New Moon in Taurus in the northern hemisphere seems to have an extra emphasis on starting fresh since it takes place during the height of spring right after May Day. With the fertile earthy energy of Taurus we can really ground in new energy in our realities. It's prime time to manifest what we'd like in our physical lives. 

During the last month or so we may have ended some phases that weren't right for us, had some realizations about what we'd like in relationships (both romantic and otherwise) and made significant discoveries about our personal journeys and identities. Perhaps we feel clearer about what we want or perhaps some things are still being revealed. Regardless, now we can start fresh in a way. 

This energy could impact any area of your life depending on your personal chart. Since Taurus is a physical sign however this is of course a good time for tangible new beginnings related to work, finances etc. Taurus has to do with the foundations of your physical world. Since we've been dealing with lots of relationship energy and Taurus is ruled by Venus there can definitely be new beginnings in love. Venus is in Aries right now and with Venus being the first sign in the zodiac, I'd say there is definitely a lot of new, fresh energy in that department. Also, with Venus in Aries our relationship to our own selves and our independence is of the utmost importance. We may have new beginnings in terms of how good we feel within our own identities and self-worth. Also, with any new beginnings in relationships we are going to want ones where our own selves are honored. Where two individuals can share, but never give up their own selves. 

While the New Moon isn't exactly aspecting all the Capricorn energy, it's flowing with it quite nicely. This really shows that we are really able to ground new things into our realties and create new structures at this time. There's been lots of changes and old things falling away, now we get to start building the new. 

~It's so nice to be at this New Moon phase. Spring is in full swing and just like the flowers, we can start to see new things blooming in our lives. It's a fertile and fresh time. ~
