There
are a few things I would rather be doing right now (sleeping and sleeping:) but I feel a strong
compulsion to write and share my ramblings about the coming Scorpio Full Moon
on Monday 4th May, exact at 3:42 am UT/GMT.
In Native
American lore April’s Full Moon is called Planter’s Moon, Pink Moon, Do Nothing
Moon and Big Wind Moon, to name a few. The Scorpio Full Moon is Wesak, the
legendary time of Buddha’s return. In Chinese Astrology this is the Dragon Full
Moon, and in Celtic Astrology it is the Ngetal/Reed Full Moon whose symbols are
the white hound and the stone. In both Modern Western and Modern Celtic
Astrology this Full Moon is ruled by Pluto.
Scorpio’s
waters are deep, dark and oftentimes feel murky. We are feeling within the realms
of the subconscious. At Scorpio Full Moon buried emotions and psychological
impulses surface, sometimes very unexpectedly, into our conscious awareness. In
other words a spotlight shines on a deeper truth behind our impulses,
compulsions, emotions and thoughts. Scorpio probes deep. Scorpio and it’s
planetary ruler, Pluto, rule the underworld and transformation. We may find this
Scorpio Full Moon illuminates our transformation so that we may appreciate how
far we have come and make a leap forward.
At New
Moon seeds are sewn from both our conscious wishes and our subconscious and
unconscious dreams and desires. At Full Moon we see what we have sewn. What is rising into our conscious awareness
from our inner depths at this time?
I am
reading “Yesterday’s Sky: Astrology and Reincarnation,” by Steven Forrest. The
process of understanding my chart’s deeper meaning, in terms of past-life
issues which have been restricting me this life, at least on an emotional
level, is proving to be very transformational. The impulse to dig to a deeper level
of self-understanding is very Plutonic and Scorpionic. I am discovering that everything
I have ever felt, thought and remembered about my previous life-times is in my
birth chart. This is illuminating and confirming the depth of my self-perception
and understanding over decades which is wonderful as I had started to question
if perhaps I had been accessing collective memories rather than personal
past-life experiences. I feel transformed and empowered at this Full Moon and
it feels crystal clear to me that the only way through to fulfilling my destiny
and embodying my full-potential is to be in a state of super awareness and
consciousness in every moment. It’s a huge ask but I feel this is the same for
many… The Scorpio Full Moon is in perfect time.
In
between writing this, I am watching “Selma,” a movie which chronicles, in part,
Martin Luther King’s Civil Rights Movement. I was already thinking deeply about
my purpose and what raising consciousness means to me when King was quoted in
the movie as saying something like, “we need to raise white consciousness if we
want racial equality.” What does raising consciousness mean to you and what is
its purpose in a broader spiritual sense? What can we hope to achieve as the
old world gives birth to the new? Will the new be a creation of elevated consciousness
or the creation of unhealed deeply buried and subconscious psychological
impulses? What is the Scorpio Full Moon illuminating for you so that you may
raise your consciousness even further? When we raise our consciousness we
contribute to the raising of the collective consciousness…
Last
weekend (the weekend of the First Quarter Moon) while I would have liked to have been sleeping soundly, I was both
wide awake and feeling expanded. Part of me would like to keep the experience
to myself but I also feel it’s important I share the possibilities, the grace
we are being afforded at this time, as well as expressing gratitude for the
period of personal grace we were all given, which has come to a completion so
that we may level- up, step-up, or man-up (a sporting expression and a line in
the closing credits track in Selma).
Whether
we have been aware or not, we have experienced a period of grace where all were
given the opportunity to experience raised states of consciousness and receive
information that may have otherwise been beyond our state of consciousness and awareness.
Doors were unlocked and left wide open for us to walk through energetically.
The doors are still wide open, but in order to stand on our own feet in
self-achieved expanded states of awareness, our support structure has
completely shifted. The purpose of this period of grace was to demonstrate, from within, what
we needed to align with to be whole, healed, aware and a more expanded being.
When this period abated or abates we may experience anything from feeling
abandoned, to dead inside, to understanding that the training wheels are off
and perhaps even being excited at coming into our own empowerment. We each
experience this at a different moment in time for reasons that are complex and
beyond me to explain in his moment.
After
the Full Moon, light begins to wane and there is a break-down of what is no
longer useful or relevant. The forces of creation and the forces of destruction
are one due to the cyclic nature of energy. Like the dark and the shadow,
destruction is feared. Like the light, creation is held in high esteem. Yet,
light cannot exist without dark and creation is made possible through
transformation of energy. Nothing is ever really destroyed, rather, energy has
been transformed. The breakdown of energy which is to be transformed, is oftentimes
experienced as a form of destruction, no matter how gentle.
Last
week I heard the words, “I feel like destroying something, I feel like getting
even with those who have caused harm…” Gentle words were spoken to the likes of
the Fates, the Furies, Shiva, Kali, or whatever we may call the Goddesses and
Gods of Divine Retribution, Karma and Destruction. Personal vendettas and vengeance
for its own sake will not be supported. The priority is that Mother Earth and
her inhabitants shift as gently as possible. Apparently spontaneous collective
consciousness raising is set for the coming months and will take place in
unprecedented ways. In honour of Mother Earth’s wishes I will call the cyclic
transformation of energy, deconstruction and construction, rather than
destruction and creation.
The
Earth Keepers continue to dance through time. We are invited to join the party
at any moment and we may leave at any moment. We dance to support Mother
Earth’s shifts and to assist the conscious creation of the new where each being
is valued and celebrated purely for being, and no being is in need of
nourishment; Body, mind or spirit.
Our
personal objectives will be supported when they serve the greater good and Mother
Earth’s plan and our true purpose and destiny. Greedy personal gain, at the
expense of Mother Earth and her inhabitants health and well-being, will likely
fail because the collective consciousness will be elevated to such an extent
that support will simply and gently be withdrawn. Liars and cheats will be
exposed and their former methods no longer tolerated. I believe we will be
gentle as these shifts take place, understanding that once old behaviours have
been released we will not hold others, or ourselves, to what they/we were,
rather, we will believe in all the wonderful that we and others are capable of,
and we will embody this from that moment forth, in all directions of time,
across all states of awareness and dimensions.
Lastly,
a timeline, of sorts… I saw within the boughs of the Willow tree, two sea
serpents and their cosmic egg at a Full Moon. The new was birthed as though
from a woman whose thighs were the two branches of a Willow tree. In Celtic
Mythology the Willow Tree was the first tree and the Sea Dragon’s egg,
contained within its boughs, gave birth to the Cosmos and the Earth. The last
New Moon was both the Aries and Willow New Moon. The Willow Full Moon is late
in the year, and I expect it will be a time when the new will be seen and
experienced as never before.
Let’s
celebrate what is rising from the depths of our beings and into our awareness
at this Full Moon.
The
party is in full swing, we only have to remember our eternal invitation to
attend and celebrate together; Both the deconstruction of what no longer serves
Mother Earth’s plan, and the construction of what does.
Let’s
dance!!! LOVE!!!!!!!!!!
