Full Moon in Scorpio 4/23/24

Tarot cards representing the Scorpio full moon 4/23/24 (Rider Waite deck)

The upcoming full moon in Scorpio is illuminating unresolved issues that have been lying beneath the surface for some time now. This is not an “easy” transit, as Pluto, Scorpio’s modern ruling planet that represents transformative change, is closely involved with this full moon, squaring both the moon and the sun. This harsh aspect is Pluto inviting us to take part in a difficult conversation. To consider how certain situations, friendships, partnerships, etc. are affecting our current well-being as well as our future potential.

With Mercury retrograde paired closely with the North node in Aries, a conflict could arise if there is a low vibration pattern or circumstance that wants to be resolved. This will most likely be an energetic signature that you have been aware of for a while. As I mentioned, there is some tension with this transit, so tread carefully, as those who are normally quite stubborn and/or self-centered, will be even more so in the days leading up to the full moon. As such, conflicts or small disagreements, could escalate quickly.

My advice is to think twice about who you are dealing with and what influence they have in your life. A small disagreement could turn into a battle of wills with both of you drawing lines in the sand. You may be right, but is there a danger of your winning the battle but losing the war? This could result in sudden changes that you may not have anticipated. Scorpio energy is quite strategic. Play your cards right, and you will soon have the winning hand!

Emotions may bubble up to the surface, so it is important to stay grounded and clear-headed. Be careful of possible overindulgence of food, drink, or other substances that may affect your emotional or mental state. For some of you, this full moon is highlighting challenges regarding your health. This may pertain to you or someone close to you. Helpful insights on the best way to move forward will come to you on or before the end of this month.

Mars and Jupiter are working well together. These two are inviting you to be proactive with your future financial goals and happiness. Where do you see yourself in two, five, or ten years? Does your current situation support this path? There is no need for a big jump now. However, the full moon will reveal where some action is required to get the ball rolling, if you are ready to make a change.

This could involve an initial small investment towards a plan or future goal that grows over time. On the flip side, you may be considering cutting ties and making new plans, if current circumstances are not yielding the results that you have hoped for.

This transit, while intense, is empowering at the same time! Its influence is encouraging us to purge both internally and externally to release what is at the very least unhelpful and at the most, toxic. We are being reminded that when life gets complicated, or when we are ready for something new, the power of transformation first comes from within. This gives us the clarity we need to make changes to our outer world with confidence and grace. ❤

12/4/23: This week’s card-Judgement

Judgement tarot card from the Rider Waite Smith deck.

This week’s card: Judgement.

We are in the last month of 2023, and we’ve got some busy planetary transits happening! Mercury moved into Capricorn on the 1st, Venus enters Scorpio on the 4th and Neptune goes direct in Pisces on the 6th. Collectively, we are being supported to begin mapping out the direction we want to take in 2024.

In numerology, 2024 adds up to an “eight” year. The number eight represents success in the physical world through self-mastery & acknowledgement of one’s divine sovereignty. Initiative, truth, leadership, harmony, balance, and faith are some keywords for number 8.

Judgement. Gabriel’s trumpet. Do you hear the call?

Judgement is one card away from the end of the major arcana. Its overall theme is transition and rebirth of the soul. It indicates the closing out of a cycle, a shift in perspective, or a significant life change. The question most often associated with this card is: Have you been upholding normalcy in an area of your life that needs to be revised, reconciled, or released? Often this card appears when we are on the cusp of change. Once begun, the process itself can be joyful or challenging depending on the situation. But ultimately, it serves the highest good for all involved.

Planetary support:

Neptune direct in Pisces enhances our connection to the ethereal realm. Pay attention to synchronicities and intuitive messages this week. The universe speaks in symbols, so be aware of your surroundings! Venus moved into Scorpio on Monday. She is quite intense here. Powerful and perceptive, she has no qualms of showing you the truth of what lies beneath. Expect the unexpected. Talk less, observe more. You will notice subtle shifts & nuances that provide valuable insights as well as an opportunity for growth and/or closure.

If you are ready to make a significant change, December may not be the best time to take the leap, unless a plan has already been in the works. Mercury is going retrograde on the 13th and will stay there until January 1st. We are in the shadow period now, so things can begin to get a little wonky if you try to push it. Something here needs more time. Put excess energy to good use by taking care of items on your to do list and spending extra time with pets, friends & loved ones.

There is a divine metamorphosis happening behind the scenes. Don’t be too hasty. Trust the process. Others may be on edge due to planetary shifts. Extend them grace while you stay calm and go with the flow this week. ❤

Crystal recommendations: selenite, clear quartz, amethyst, celestite, apophyllite, prehnite, bronzite, moss agate, snowflake obsidian, aventurine, blue lace agate, pyrite, sunstone, bloodstone, malachite.

Have a great week! ❤
