New / Full Moons: New 8th May in Taurus Full 23rd May in Sagittarius New 6th Jun in Gemini
This Full 'Pink' Moon is a potent moment of culmination and release, when emotions are heightened, and intentions come to fruition. This time, on the 23rd of April 2024, it occurs in the enigmatic sign of Scorpio. Expect the intensity of the Full Moon to be increased, and prepare yourself for a journey inwards which explores your deeper self.
Scorpio, ruled by the transformative planet Pluto, is a sign associated with passion, power, and regeneration. Perhaps many people cling to the stereotype of 'secretive Scorpio' because the true power held by this sign is too much to deal with. Perhaps the greatest kept secret of Scorpionic energy, is the incredible strength of resilience. Scorpio teaches us to gain strength through what may frighten us, to trust that we can transform ourselves to meet any challenge and to rise from even the most difficult of circumstances. This preoccupation with survival has an important message being illuminated for us through this Full Moon. We may feel acutely aware of our own vulnerability. But strength does not come from any infallible illusions, it is developed by approaching challenges with honesty - and choosing not to give up.
This Scorpio Moon is lighting up what has been in shadow. Scorpio energy does not shy away from secrets, or run from taboo. This Full Moon is pushing a need for standing ground and we may feel compelled to put up an impressive fight where we feel unsure. Full Moons set the scene for drama, but it is not just bad moods and arguments which tend to blow up around them. Passion is invoked by the celebratory energy of this full Moon and demands to be acknowledged and truly felt. When people are honest about what stirs them into a frenzy, emotions inevitably run high. But this energy is not necessarily destructive - it can be deeply healing.
Most of us, if we have ever suffered setbacks or heartache, know the power that what we feel passionate about has over us. Recognising what makes us feel alive can bring us back from the brink of despair and inspire us to rebirth ourselves. When we are honest about our deepest feelings, especially the emotions which we are conditioned to control, we empower ourselves to use them to fuel positive change. The Full Moon in Scorpio is pushing whatever has been repressed up to the surface, revealing what has been pressurised and allowing it to be released.
Emotionally charged and deeply intuitive, the Full Moon in Scorpio invites us to confront our deepest desires, fears, and vulnerabilities. It urges us to embrace the darkness within ourselves, acknowledging the parts of us that we may keep hidden or have worked hard to suppress. Under this lunar influence, secrets may be revealed, emotions surge to the surface, and inner turmoil can be released to allow for healing.
At the same time, this lunation offers an opportunity for profound empowerment. It encourages us to let go of that which no longer serves us, to release old wounds and emotional baggage, and to embrace our personal power. The more we learn about who we truly are, the more conscious we become, the greater the influence we can have over where we want life to take us. The release from this Full Moon is showing us how to be wiser, and kinder, by being true to who we are.
Be the light which you wish to see shining - focus on yourself. Self-preservation is paramount to your emotional well-being. If you are surrounded by situations or people which drain your energy, this Full Moon is a great moment to purge what is not fuelling your peace or inspiring you to be prosperous.
