Today is King’s Day in The Netherlands (no comment) and a Full Moon in Scorpio (here it was Full at 5.33 am this morning). This Moon is also called the Egg Moon or Hare Moon with connections to ‘coming out of the egg’, setting goals, taking steps, rebirth, fertility and protection. The theme of this Full Moon is the rebirth of nature. Use this moon energy to carry out the wishes and plans you have. You can experience this energy strongly in the period of this Full Moon, you can feel yourself as born again. Luna is a little closer to the earth than usual, which makes her influence on us extra strong. This gives you the opportunity to explore deeply deep feelings that you may have been hiding for a long time, or that you have been unable to connect with. It is also the first Super Moon of this year. This means that the moon is closer to Earth and therefore has a stronger influence on the water currents of the oceans. Chances are that this also makes us more sensitive to our inner ebb and flow currents.
Next weekend we celebrate the fire festival Beltane and celebrate that the seeds you have sewn are starting to grow. This Moon supports us to see the potential in our plans, to support them and protect the growth of our plan(t)s. Remember all you give your attention to grows, so make sure you focus on the that what you come alive and feel positive about. Make them grow!
When the sun is in Taurus, the Full Moon that month will be in the opposite sign, Scorpio. You may therefore be dealing with intensely deep feelings with a magical and very personal quality. If you don’t fear the dark depths and connect with your own shadow, you can creatively transform your traumas into something new. Things that have been hidden or covered up for a long time may come to light. Keep in mind that during this period many unexpected, violent and intense situations can take place. Many emotions from your subconscious mind can be released. Your emotions may be heightened since Scorpio is a very passionate sign, but beware of delving into too much drama. Transformation is always a bit chaotic but that’s the price of rebirth. Expect the unexpected and face your fears and insecurities as hidden truths are uncovered. Scorpio is about mystery, transformation, and the movement of energy beneath the surface. It is therefore a good time for change and spiritual growth.
My North Node is in Scorpio so this is where my biggest challenges lie and my greatest potential, in those deep dark feelings. Thankfully today is a national holiday so I can spend today in quiet reflection, journal, paint, take a walk in nature and divine.
This moon is a good time to turn your dreams, plans, and ideas into action and carry them out. Let them take shape and focus on feasibility. But make sure it remains a challenge. To scale is to achieve. So turn your dreams into reality and don’t leave it to dreaming alone.
This morning I did this tarot spread by The Curious Cardslinger for myself.
I used the Druidcraft Tarot.
Issues:
III The Lady (Empress) shows my creative block, not feeling the passion at the moment and frankly feeling infertile while nature around me is blooming. I feel barren and depleted and I am giving myself a hard time because I am not creating anything I know I should be. And that brings me to the next card the 10 of Pentacles which shows the pressure I put on myself that I feel I have to leave some sort of legacy and I feel an urgency. This card also shows me missing my family, having no family of my own and my loneliness. And the 3rd issue is 10 of Swords, yes I feel like I have hit rock bottom, I am so tired and at times I feel little hope for a better future. I need to forgive myself for feeling down and uncreative. I put too much pressure on myself to keep going and keep smiling. It is okay to admit that I am struggling just like many other people are. The 10’s show culmination and new beginnings. Time to close this chapter and start a brand new one. This is the end of a cycle.
Triggers:
I am trigger when, Queen of Cups, people try to help or nurture me. I have a ‘I can do it by myself’ attitude and asking for help or support is hard for me. Why don’t I just accept the cup damnit. Stop being so independent and proud. Open up to receive love and support and also show my own maternal side more. It is not weak to be loving and kind. Let your guard down Charissa. The next trigger is King of Wands who indeed shows that I feel stuck in setting goals and making decisions. As I feel down on the ground, it is hard to see up now. I am seeking my guided vision and it is frustrating to hear no answer. My 3rd trigger is XVII The Star which is perfect here as it shows hope and this word indeed triggers me as to me it feels like delayed disappointment. Again down on the ground it is hard to see the stars. When people speak of high prospects I feel less than worthy and when the waters in our lives don’t flow we feel disconnected from our intuition. There is hope, I just have to look up.
Release:
I can release all of the above by, XII The Hanged Man, going deeper within, let go of struggle and ‘just’ surrender, stop fighting. 7 of Swords shows me to keep challenging old assumptions and that my legacy lies in doing my studies and research. Open up to new ideas and keep expanding my mind. And the final release I can find in 8 of Cups, this is actually where it starts if I want to get up on my feet, and this is to retreat and move on. Let go and seek a higher purpose and rededicate my life.
For now have a blessed Walpurgisnacht and Beltane! See you again soon. Take care!
