Not only is this moon in the dark, mysterious sign of Scorpio, it includes a rare blood moon lunar eclipse, which exponentially intensifies its energetic influence! Look at the cards in this tarot & oracle card spread. It’s pretty intense. Wouldn’t you agree?
This transit is activating the collective as well as the individual on a profound level. Literally, we are being guided to allow things to end in our life that are or have been exerting a negative influence and/or pulling us off our divine path. In our daily lives, you will see these aspects intensify so that whatever this is for you: people, situations, environment, habits, etc. cannot be ignored any longer. The universe is removing all doubt you may have about needing to release them! But as always, you have a choice. It is YOU that must initiate the change or decide on a new direction. Look at the moon oracle card #19. It’s as if the universe is standing at the fork in the road with you, waiting for your decision.
Take time to be still and access your inner voice. That is where the truth is.
Knowing your truth is what causes the excess to fall away. The choice becomes easy.
Lilith is the goddess energy influencing this transit. She was demonized because she would not submit. Her truth was that she was not “lesser” and deserved to be treated as an equal. To her, staying where she was not allowed to live the fullest expression of herself would in fact, trap her within the limits of someone else’s reality. In other words, she refused to sell herself short in order to please someone else. The price she paid for her conviction was high, but not as high as if she had stayed. We all have been in situations like this. Whether individually or collectively, the result is the same. When we allow others to limit or define us, we give them power over us. As most of you probably already know, these types situations tend to get worse over time, not better.
Does Lilith’s story resonate with you?
Scorpio energy has no choice but to transform itself continuously. Its symbol is the phoenix, which repeatedly goes through the death and rebirth cycle. That is what this moon is activating within us. An internal transformation. Who are you? I’ll bet you are not the same person that you were two years ago, two months ago, two weeks ago, or even two days ago.
What in your life is ready to be released? What have you outgrown? In what area(s) of your life are you over-compromising? Is there an agreement that needs to be renegotiated or voided completely? Are you feeling “blocked”? Do you feel it is time to align yourself with a more empowered archetype?
As a side note, some of you that are psychically sensitive may be physically feeling this moons effects, especially if there is a significant emotional transition and/or psychological breakthrough coming to light at the same time. You may feel confused, dizzy, angry, overly emotional or mentally foggy. Be patient with yourself. If you are feeling this way, protect your energy. Give yourself permission to withdraw for a little while in order to recalibrate. Just as when a snake is shedding its skin, it knows it is vulnerable. Therefore, it withdraws into its hide until the process is complete. If you are resonating with this message, save the big decisions and heavy conversations for after this transit.
I’m going to take this post to the next level here. Yes, this is a powerful moon. But in addition, this transit is supported by other beneficial planetary alignments. As such, we have the ability to work with this potent energy to release the chords of ancestor karmic ties, soul contracts that do not serve our highest good, energetic blockages, painful stories, and patterns that have been repeated over and over due to soul wounds that we have incurred in this life, or even from past lives.
Mercury, the planet that corresponds to communication, is retrograde during this transit. I refer to Mercury retrograde as “Repeat a Grade”. This transit is giving us a chance to “RE-view” our story. Many of these stories have been a part of our experience for far too long as I mentioned before. Every time we re-visit the old narrative, we re-open the old wounds and we re-live the pain of it. Is time to re-lease ourselves from this toxic storyline? The Death card in this reading is our message that a cycle has reached its conclusion.
The Scorpio Moon in regards to agriculture is an ideal time to plant hearty vegetables such as squash, beans, tomatoes and leafy greens. It is said that the roots of plants are able to recover quickly from being transplanted into new soil during this moon phase.
We have Temperance in this reading. One of my nicknames for this card is “spiritual alchemy. This moon is our catalyst, if we have not begun the process already, to do “the great work of inner transformation” by burning away those old narratives and subconscious programs, in order to access the divine “gold” within. If you are reading this, this is your wake-up call. If you are not satisfied with the current trajectory of your life, you have the opportunity with this transit to turn the page and begin a new narrative.
Shifting ones thoughts to a healthier state of being can be difficult at first. If you need help with this, seek the assistance of a trusted counselor or therapist.
