MAY 9-10: CHALLENGING FULL MOON IN SCORPIO

MOON IN SCORPIO from 1:01am EDT on Tuesday, May 9 until Wednesday, May 10 at 5:42pm. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Opposite Sun in Taurus. We are building towards the FULL MOON which is exact at 5:42pm on Wednesday, May 10. The FULL MOON reflects the culmination of actions, often begun at the previous New Moon, which was on April 26 when the Moon was Conjunct the Sun in Taurus. Tension is likely to grow as the Moon waxes towards fullness and Scorpio's emotions will need to be released as consciously and compassionately as possible. Ruled by Pluto and traditionally by Mars, the Scorpio Moon may indicate that anger and conflict may arise around themes of finances or personal values. Since both Taurus and Scorpio symbolize sensual and sexual energy, issues of jealousy or control may show up as well. Scorpio also reflects primal forces of life, death and especially, regeneration; so this can be a powerful time of creativity and healing old wounds. As in all oppositions, we're looking for ways to integrate the opposites by honoring both ends of the polarity. Acknowledge your Taurean self-worth and need for sensuous pleasure while simultaneously being conscious of others' values and hidden unconscious desires. Call on your integrity, courage and best negotiating skills - or find a mediator to assist you - in order to find your way to a compromise. Otherwise, actions initiated during this period will tend to have CHALLENGING results. This is an excellent time to enter psychological analysis!
