Our next Full Moon phase – the 2019 Scorpio Full Moon – occurs in the sign of Scorpio on Saturday, 18th May at 2:11p PDT (27.65°). To understand this energy, we must explain the dynamic between Taurus and Scorpio. Both signs deal with matters of safety and security, but Taurus deals with these matters from a physical and material perspective. Scorpio deals with them from an emotional and spiritual perspective. With the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio, these are the perfect conditions for some major personal transformation work to occur.

We’ve been dealing with Taurus energy for the last four weeks with the Sun in the sign of Taurus. Taurus is all about finding and establishing a hold on physical comfort, ease, safety, security, and stability. It likes to find its shade of gray between the extremes of black and white, then stay with it. Once that shade of gray is determined, Taurus does not waver – it does not want to give up its comfort zone. When it comes to matters of lifestyle, it is focused on maintaining that comfort zone at all costs and often by any means necessary. As result, Taurus has a reputation for being rather manipulative in that it does everything it can to force others to change their ways to accommodate its desire for comfort and convenience so it can feel safe.

But with the Moon entering Taurus’ opposing sign, Scorpio, we find the presence of an energy which almost always deals in extremes. Scorpio does not like “gray area”. In fact, Scorpio needs matters to be definitive – either black or white. There is no gray in Scorpio’s world. There’s no maybe – only ‘yes’ or ‘no’. That way, it can be clear about where it and others stand. When a definitive position is not clear, Scorpio will push matters to their breaking point in order to force a stance to be made. This is why Scorpio has a reputation for being relentlessly controlling. It’s going to do everything it can to push people and things to extremes so it can have the clarity and decisiveness it needs to feel safe.

So, how do these energies show up during a Full Moon phase?

A Scorpio Full Moon brings up our feelings, specifically, how we feel about our lifestyles, the resources which support our lifestyles, and how we are willing to obtain and maintain those resources. For this reason, Scorpio Full Moons always seem deeper – more raw, more primal, more desperate. Yet that’s because we are being asked to face and deal with the emotional and spiritual truths behind our most fundamental “survival” needs – the fulfillment of our physical, material, and financial lifestyle needs and desires becomes the focus of our energies at this time. Many of us will find ourselves overwhelmed with emotion and ready to purge our emotional and energetic overloads.

Emotional purges often lead to physical-material purges as well. This is definitely a time to make the most of any urges to clear things out and cut things off… yet also to remember that everything has an equal and opposite reaction. When you clear things out, it makes way for new things to come in. If you let go of a little, you’ll get a little. But sometimes, you’ll get more, and that more will need to be offset by the release of even more in order to make space.

In other words, be careful what you ask for. You might get it, and then it may cost you something you weren’t expecting to have to release.

This isn’t a bad thing. In fact, you may realize after the fact that you needed the change(s) more than you’re willing to admit. However, it will require some of us to be more honest about how we really feel than we might have wanted to be.

This 2019 version of the Scorpio Full Moon comes with some interesting dynamics. Most important are the elements of physical satisfaction, emotional satisfaction, and the communication of one’s physical and emotional needs. The conversations which occur under the influence of this 2019 Scorpio Full Moon will likely lead to shifts and changes in the dynamics of your relationships… and not just the relationships you have with others. Also affected will be the relationships you have with your physical, material, and financial resources; the relationship you have with your own physical body; the relationship you have with your personal values, morals, and ethics. Every relationship dynamic is under review during this 2019 Scorpio Full Moon phase with the intention of assisting you in finding and/or reclaiming your personal power.

You’ll likely recognize during this time just how much of your personal power you give away by having your energies expended on matters which have nothing to do with what you value in and for your life. You may also notice just how emotionally or materially invested you are in others’ lives and how that not only compromises what you can do for yourself but also allows others to have power over you in those areas. By reassessing these power dynamics, you may find yourself ready to take your power back, or at least to restore a balance of power between you and others. This 2019 Scorpio Full Moon acts as a reminder that you do have power in and over the matters of your life, even in the areas you may feel helpless. This remembering may assist you in (re)learning how to access that power to manifest what you truly need and want for yourself and your life.

This is also occurring with the numerological energy of an 8 universal day in about half the world – an energy in which power and influence are at the fore of collective awareness. Power dynamics are certain to be clearer than usual, and each of us will be more sensitive to those dynamics. These sensitivities will be the catalysts for the changes we’ve been hesitant to make. Yet for the other half of the world, this Full Moon phase reaches its maximum on a 9 universal day – a day of fulfillments, completions, endings, and clearings. This energy will find people exerting their power by making choices and taking actions to bring matters which no longer serve to an end – a clearing of the slate to make space for new and true elements to come into their lives. Both of these energies are occurring under the influence of an 8 universal month (power and influence amplified) and a 3 universal year focused on growth and expansion. Each and all of us are being prepared for greater achievements, and things are being cleared out in order to make room for the growth and expansion which enables those achievements to be made.

Let’s look at the specific transits occurring at the time of maximum phase for more details.

  • (Taurus Mercury conjunct Sun) opposite Scorpio Moon (24-27° – wide conjunction +0.24°) – Emotional truths below the surface bubble up to be dealt with. There are some conversations to be had now, with yourself and with others about what you value and want you really need and/or want for yourself and your life, especially in physical, material, and financial terms. You’ll likely find yourself making decisions you’ve resisted making for a while regarding certain aspects of your lifestyle and/or livelihood.
  • SEQUENCE: Pisces Black Moon Lilith semi-sextile Aries Chiron semi-sextile (Taurus Uranus conjunct Venus) (3-4°) – Emotional victimization or martyrdom leads to some of us to seek the healing of our self-identity wounds, which may find us (desperately) looking for others to accept the more unconventional aspects of our self-expressions and/or lifestyle choices. Don’t be surprised to find yourself asking others to accept the weirdest or most secretive aspects of yourself and/or your life at this time. Also, don’t be surprised if you find yourself ready and willing to move on from your relationships with those who don’t or won’t accept what you need them to.
  • BLESSING TRIANGLE: Pisces Black Moon Lilith sextile (Taurus Uranus conjunct Venus) sextile Cancer Mars (1-4°) – That same emotional victimization or martyrdom present in the previously-mentioned transit may find itself leading to unexpected relationship changes in this configuration. Suddenly, certain connections may not align with your personal values anymore… or maybe you’ll find that your values no longer align with your emotional or material realities. The energy created by this configuration leads to actions being taken to find emotionally-satisfying connections… which also means actions being taken to walk away from the connections which can no longer provide the emotional support and encouragement you need, or which are not capable of providing the new level of emotional support you need now.
  • Virgo White Moon Selene square Sagittarius Ceres Retrograde (3-4°) – The desire to attend to the practical needs of yourself and others in valuable ways is challenged when you realize that not everyone shares your values. The question becomes… do you divert away from your personal values in order to serve others in the ways they want to be served, or do you adhere to your values and seek those who will receive your practical service because they align with your values?
  • Sagittarius Jupiter Retrograde makes a trine with Aries Vesta (20-22°) to reveal a commitment to one’s individual personal growth. In other words, how committed are you to your growth and expansion, especially when others are trying to get you to grow in ways which align with their values (which are values you yourself may not align with)? The more you learn about what makes the world turn, the more you may wonder if you can even find a place within it which honors the truth of who you are. Yet with this dynamic in play, you’ll likely find yourself more determined than ever to find that place. Sagittarius Jupiter Retrograde also makes a semi-sextile transit with Capricorn Pluto Retrograde at this time (22-23°), which reveals that the more you become aware of how the world wants (or expects) you to grow, the more you become interested in transforming the world you’re experiencing.  And there’s one more – Sag Jupiter Retrograde’s quincunx transit with Taurus Mercury (22-24°) reveals that the conversations being had about lifestyle resources and the values, morals, and ethics around them are no longer matching up with the growing truths being revealed in the world.
  • Taurus Mercury trine Capricorn Pluto Retrograde at this time (23-24°), and this makes you hyperaware of how “the powers that be” are affecting how you think about your lifestyle and livelihood. The more you realize that their actions really can affect the way you choose to live your life, the more likely you find the courage to make changes to how you go about living your life.
  • Libra Pallas Athena Retrograde sextile Sagittarius Ceres Retrograde (9-10°) –You are quickly recognizing which relationship patterns you’ve outgrown, largely because these patterns make themselves apparent the more you interact with various people. These interactions provide you with feedback about your adventures and expansion so far, and you become increasingly aware of which partnerships/relationships are not growing with you and/or are doing their best to hinder your growth.
  • (Capricorn South Node conjunct Saturn) sextile Pisces Neptune (18-20°) – The “old ways” are exerting their power again, promising what cannot be done – a return to the past. However, this promise seems more delusional now that it has before. That’s largely due to the fact that this Capricorn South Node + Saturn conjunction also makes a square transit with Aries Vesta (18-20°), which actually indicates a Nodal T-Square, reminding us that we create our reality in the present moment by placing a commitment to self-identity at the center of this paradox between the past and the future.

The energy of this 2019 Scorpio Full Moon will be felt from Wednesday 15th May through Tuesday 21st May. During this time, let yourself feel and acknowledge your personal power, your comfort zones and boundaries, and discover what it takes to not just make changes in your life, but to allow those changes to transform your experience of your life… for the better.
