APRIL 29-APRIL 30: EXCELLENT SCORPIO FULL MOON

MOON ENTERS SCORPIO at 3:11am EDT on Sunday, April 29 and remains here until Monday, April 30 at 10:56pm. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Sextile Mars in Capricorn. FULL MOON IS EXACT at 8:58pm on Sunday, April 29. Life, Death and Regeneration are Pluto-ruled Scorpio's key descriptors. This is raw - almost primordial - creative Power! The Full Moon period is a time for bringing projects to Completion. This is a strong Full Moon when we should have abundant energy and resources to get the job done. Mars in Capricorn has its nose to the grindstone with energy to produce whatever result are is needed. Given that Mars is also just separating from its conjunction to Pluto, it's a huge double whammy of intensity. There's a lot of ambition suggested here and Scorpio's resourcefulness will find the way through any resistance that presents itself. Just make sure your determination doesn't blind you to seeing what others around you also need. Scorpio's shadow can reflect a kind of ruthless use of power to get what one wants. The Full Moon is likely to heighten the emotional element of this Fixed Water sign so, again, breathe through the tension and remember that nothing is more important than your sense of what's right. In the end, acts of kindness and generosity are always worth more than personal gain. Remember Scorpio has at least three symbols as its range of expression (seven or eight are often suggested): The sting of the Scorpion, the visionary Eagle and the ultimate transformational image of the Phoenix. Anything seems possible now. Have yourself a old-fashioned metamorphosis!

SCORPIO FULL MOON SCENE: City of Angels, 1998; Director: Brad Silberling. Life, Death, Regeneration/Transformation perfectly describes the essence of this story. A being not of this physical world yearns to become human in order to experience the sensations and emotions we take for granted. Based on Wim Wenders' German classic Wings of Desire, this script is aptly transported to Los Angeles featuring a humble Nicholas Cage as angel Seth and Meg Ryan as Dr. Maggie Rice. While a pale adaptation of the original, which is one of my all-time-most-significant films, it is moving and captivating in its own Hollywood way. Seth's story can't help but put into perspective what it means to be human. With all its suffering, knowing life for the first time newly could be an experience of ecstasy. Isn't that what being 'present' is all about? It's certainly what good acting is about! In this clip we witness Seth taking the transformative fall to earth.
