Instead of controlling our emotions, perhaps we can look at them honestly and find ways to face our fears about speaking the truth about ourselves to others. Learning to be more objective in our relationships and questioning our emotional responses to situations can help us change beliefs and behaviors that arose from childhood experiences that now need to be purged. These old habits no longer fit into our new story.
This purging will be aided by Pluto's positive relationships to both the Sun and Moon. Pluto can help bring up whichever emotional patterns need to be released and then help transform them into positive elements of our new story.
Uranus in Aries--the call to awaken to our destiny--is also in a helpful relationship to Jupiter in Leo. Fire to Fire. Our awakened archetypal energies (Uranus) fuel Jupiter's creativity and curiosity, bringing sudden insights and synchronistic experiences to aid in the process.
This Scorpio Full Moon is a call to learn tolerance for ourselves and others, to be more curious about life, and to look for meaning in everything we experience. The tension of these three planets wants resolution. When the bow is released, where does the arrow end up? With Jupiter in Leo pulling the sting, it ends up in Aquarius, where the asteroid Ceres, the Great Mother Goddess, resolves these tensions by encouraging us to share our insights and light with the world.
This Taurus/Scorpio Full Moon occurs on Sunday May 3rd at 8:42pm PDT/11:42pm EDT/ and at 3:42 am GMT on May 4th.
The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 14* Taurus is: On the beach, children play while shellfish grope at the edge of the water. This image suggests that we have to become like little children and play in the imagination so that new contents from the Collective Unconscious (shellfish) can emerge. We need these new ideas, perceptions and feelings to become conscious, and they first appear through our imaginations.
The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 14* Scorpio is: Telephone linemen at work, installing new connections. This image suggests that we need new forms of communication, especially in our intimate relationships--but also within ourselves. We need to open up to our right-brain imagination and then connect to our left-brain rationality to name what we sense and bring it to consciousness.
The Sabian symbol for Jupiter at 14* Leo is: A human soul, seeking opportunities for outward manifestation. This is an image of the soul that wants and needs self-actualization. It's time for the Soul to steer our course. It's time to show that we 'exist'.
So, let your soul open up new lines of communication with your 'child' self and take the time to play, daydream and entrain with Mother Nature. That's what I'm going to do!
Three other planets form another T-Square in this Full Moon chart. The planets are Mercury in Gemini, Neptune in Pisces and Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius, with Neptune pulling the string between Mercury and Saturn.
Neptune rules Pisces, and so you can expect lots of dreams, images, delusions and illusions to be cast up into the more logical mind of Mercury opposite Saturn's disciplined beliefs. Saturn in Sagittarius can hold rigid beliefs and likes a disciplined mind (Mercury in Gemini) but can be swamped by Neptune's enchantments if those beliefs no longer serve us. Maybe things are not as they seem. Once again -- it's a repeating theme -- let the imagination lead the way. Great wisdom can come of this aspect if we let go of limiting beliefs and look compassionately and creatively at our world. It's time to integrate the head and the heart, which means letting the heart, the imagination, the right-brain lead the way and making sure the head, our left-brain rationality, is the servant who finds ways to 'make it so!'
Sending you blessings on my birthday,
