Hi everyone!

Yes! Resurrection and revival is at hand as we step out of the eclipse energies and find ourselves in new territory.

Here we come! Out of the tunnel into the light of a new day, filled with the light of a Full Moon in Scorpio!

Out of the past 6 weeks of confusion, ‘unknowingness’, dissipated energy and containment in the change process.

Culmination of this eclipse cycle: Emergence!

The Scorpio Full Moon marks the end of this eclipse period which has taken has through an amazing change process combined as it has been with the Grand Cardinal Cross including the 5th meeting of the Uranus/Pluto Square.

The new doors are open for a new chapter. Embrace the death of the old ways and new possibilites emerging over the next 2 weeks up to the Gemini New Moon.

15th May: Full Moon in Scorpio at 5.15 am AEST at 23 degrees 55 Scorpio...transformation!

Endings are inevitable:

Scorpio rules death, rebirth and transformation, whilst Full moons bring something to completion, culmination. Transformation is inevitable!

Close the doors of the past:

Letting the ‘ghosts’ go!

A Scorpio Full Moon brings in a sense of finality with doors closing behind us. Ghosts will be laid to rest this time...if we are prepared to let them go. There is a tendency for us all to go back and rake over the bones of the past, reliving any pain, regret, heartache, disappointment or grief.

Saturn in close proximity to the Full Moon: Karmic patterns released!

Saturn rules karma and being so close to the Full Moon, which is about letting go and a Scorpio Full Moon which is about BIG LETTING GO, the opportunity for major release of the haunting ghosts of the past, is at hand!

Revelations and insights: Scorpio parts the veils of illusion!

Secrets revealed!

The Full Moon brings the greatest light to our subconscious, bringing to light memories which need release as well as knowledge about ourselves. Scorpio is the master of secrets and the hidden depths and when the full moon in Scorpio arrives, the veil is parted for us to see into our souls and into the soul of humanity.

Information is likely to come forward from within and without at this time. Information about who we are, what we desire, our future direction as well information about others in both our private lives and in the public eye!

Inner authority brought to light:

Focus on earthly manifestation from that inner light!

With Saturn rubbing shoulders with the Full Moon, we are likely to be put in touch with our inner spiritual authority which

is the wellspring of our power to manifest in the world. Let’s not forget that Saturn rules Capricorn, a powerful earth energy which has the capacity to bring earthly dreams into manifested form.

The Full Moon opposite the Taurus Sun:

A balancing act between the material abundance of Taurus and Scorpionic destruction!

We have to destroy and release what is undermining our forward movement if we are to be fulfilled in our earthly existence. Life is filled with these endings which lead us to new beginnings. We all know this, even though at times we struggle with the letting go of the familiar.

Surrender the unhealthy attachments to materialism at the expense of inner spiritual depth:

The Taurus Sun calls us on to earthly abundance, love, prosperity and well being whilst the Scorpio Full Moon calls us to slash, burn, release whatever holds us from attaining joy on earth. If there’s been an over reliance on the earthly at the expense of the spiritual fire within, this Full Moon will bring it to light.

At this Full Moon:

Venus conjunct/close to Uranus in Aries in square/challenge to Pluto in Capricorn: Heart awakening rebellion!

This aspect will bring forth energies in our heart which will help us release issues related to love and money.

In Astrology, Venus rules both love and money. Pluto rules deep power and big money/government/multinationals etc.

Not surprisingly the austere Australian budget has just been announced under the leadership of a Scorpio Prime Minister. It’s very much a slash and burn in relation to public services such as health, the aged, education and the unemployed. I guess someone and some governments have to destroy the illusion of a patriarchal system which cares for its citizens! Just my take on it of course.

On the personal level:

Breaking with the bonds of tradition and letting the heart have her head!

Personally, this energy gives us the power to break out of the heavy energies of Pluto in Capricorn which is about systemic change of the status quo. Watch the next 2 weeks for these bonds of the past to keep releasing as we head to the New Moon in Gemini on 29th May.

Rebellious Uranus is firing up our heart energy, increasingly so over the next week as Venus and Uranus come to a meeting in a couple of days.

Don’t be surprised if you take what appears to be sudden and unexpected action which breaks you through to new territory! After this Full Moon, anything could happen!

15th May:

Out of the eclipse vortex through the Scorpio Full Moon doorway!

Phoenix rises! Resurrection is nigh!

The Phoenix is associated with the Scorpio energies which carry the death/rebirth/transformation energies. When we have trouble letting go, it’s a good idea to keep in mind the Phoenix and its capacity to be reborn in a stronger, more powerful form.

Body recalibration:

Anything’s possible with the Scorpio Full Moon assisted by Saturn, Master of Manifestation!

I certainly have been feeling a gradual release of the heavy energies since the New Moon in Taurus but have to stay ‘on the job’ as the masses awake to the imprisonment and the fear that arises with that sense that life isn’t what they thought it to be. Of course, those who are most affected, are likely to feel these arising emotions in their bodies. Sensitives/empaths most vulnerable. Daily ‘cleansing’ is vital for us all in these times. Just call in the light!

From Rev. Irma Kaye Sawyer:

First Full Moon of May is known as the Wesak or ‘Buddha’Moon

The Wesak or “Buddha” moon (first Full Moon of May,) is one of the most spiritually powerful of the year. Based on history and legend, it is when the two streams of consciousness represented by Master Jesus Christ and Lord Buddha, come together to illuminate the Earth and all sentient beings upon her (if they would so receive the blessing.) This moon is one of my absolute favorites, and this year it will be making contacts with the Grand Water Trine (Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces.) That's a lot of water to dream on, indeed!

The Sabian Symbol for the full Moon is Scorpio 24:

Crowds Coming Down The Mountain To Listen To One Inspired Man.

‘Crowds’ are ‘Coming Down The Mountain To Listen To One Inspired Man’. There is a message that needs to be heard and people are making their way to the ‘One’ who can deliver it. There must be a reason for them to come ‘Down the Mountain to Listen’ - there is probably something important and stimulating that they come together to receive. This ‘One Inspired Man’ probably has some gift, certainly they are likely to have the gift of speech, knowledge and communication. There’s no guarantee, however, that everyone is going to be receptive to what’s being said; people will have many different responses to the messages being given. Although it’s fairly clear that not all will be swayed, the message is likely to resonate with many.
Whether you are one amongst the ‘Crowds’ or you are, indeed, the ‘Inspired Man’, you may feel that you have had some wonderful realizations and insights and now you need to bring these insights, these messages, ‘Down’, from ‘The Mountain’, and integrate them into your everyday life in some way. It’s wonderful to be turned on by an inspired speaker or message, but what will be done with these revelations or new information? The truth may very well lie within yourself - listening to the positive messages from your higher self, or from others who can lift your focus. This can move you to take charge of your less positive thoughts and actions. However, there may need to be some kind of thoughtful discrimination about what’s being said as blindly accepting what’s being imparted can lead to a loss of one’s individual mindset.
