Full Moon in Scorpio: Releasing From the Depths

On May 14th 2014 at 12:16 PM (PDT) there will be a full moon in Scorpio. Full moons are always a time for releasing and this one is certainly no exception. This will be a time where we have to dig deep into our subconscious depths and release anything that isn't serving us. Any emotional patterns, obsessions, negative thought patterns or anything else that is not helpful that we are obstinately clinging to, we should let go of at this time.  Saturn retrograde in Scorpio was opposing the Sun lately and it will be loosely conjunct to the full moon.  This means that we should add any control issues to the list of things we should concentrate on releasing at this time. Saturn and the Sun represent the father in astrology at times and the Moon represents the mother. These are the three planets that are involved in the full moon, because of this I feel that some people may need to release any parent issues that may be nagging at their subconscious and possibly contributing to some negative patterns. 

Besides releasing, finding some balance is an important part of this full moon. The full moon in Scorpio is opposing  the Taurus Sun. Therefore this is a good time to try to find a balance between stability and change. It's time to find a happy medium between these two aspects of life, so you can feel more grounded and secure in your life. Emotions are a big part of Scorpio, so of course this full moon is going to deal a bit with deep emotions. Trying to find a a balance between feeling your feelings and expressing them and keeping them stable might be an issue.  Some may even feel a great need to control their emotions because of the Saturn influence. The key is to let yourself feel your feelings without letting them get out of hand. 

You may feel emotional or a bit frustrated during this full moon. It will pass quickly though. Just remember to shine a light on the darkest innermost regions of your subconscious mind and release whatever doesn't serve you that you may find there. That and finding balance in your life and your emotions are the keys to this full moon.
