Scorpio Full Moon, a Super Moon, the last of the year, the third Super Moon of 2020. All of this translates into some powerful, intense energies. A crescendo of all the energies from the Super Moons that have come before her. This is not a moon that can be ignored.
Full Moons occur when the Moon is in direct opposition to the Sun with the Earth smack dab in the middle. This always brings about feelings of tension. There’s a reason that we say people go crazy during a full moon. Lunacy is a word derived from Luna, the moon. With the Sun & his Yang energy on one side of us & the Moon with her Yin energy on the other, we are susceptible to feeling the strong pull from both. A spiritual tug of war occurs during a Full Moon resulting in the unveiling & extraction of all that is not serving us. It’s our opportunity to pay attention to what is being reveled & let go of all that will no longer serve us going forward as we step into the new.
A Super Moon is a rare occurrence when the moon is within 90% of perigee, closer to Earth than normal, appearing larger & brighter. This proximity amplifies the effects of the Full Moon. Shining the brightest light on the darkest parts of ourselves. It’s not something to fear. The Moon is a gorgeous flashlight of feminine energy coming in monthly to guide us to the places we have been ignoring, the places that need our attention most at this time. Allow yourself to listen to what’s coming up today & through the week, then let it go.
This intense Super Moon Energy is amplified even greater by the sign of Scorpio. Sign of death, rebirth & transformation. Scorpio is secretive & seeks the truth. This is a time when secrets will be reveled. Darker sides that have been hidden from society or the shadow side within you will be brought to the surface. The Moon will shine her light on these shadows, illuminating the truth & it is up to you what happens next. Once you can see the darkest parts, you can decide if this is something that can be transformed into a useful energy for the future, or if you just need to let it go. That is the most important message from this moon. LET IT GO! In order to be reborn you must first make space through the death or release of something that is no longer needed.
This is not a comfortable energy to sit in, but learning & growth never comes from a place of comfort. We must step out of our comfort zone to try something new. New things can be scary, but once we do it, we learn & grow into the newest, higher version of ourselves. We come out the other end stronger, more confident & land back into a place of comfort. A comfortable place built on the foundation of self-love & empowerment. Every time we make it through an uncomfortable time we feel more alive, we understand more about our power & we see how incredibly capable & adaptable we are.
This is a cycle. A steady rolling rhythm. One of comfort, taking a leap, stepping into the discomfort, working & learning, coming out stronger, feeling better than before, back into a place of comfort. If we continue to allow this wheel to spin throughout our life, we find that our place of comfort is always inside of us. We become comfortable being ourselves because we now know more about ourselves through how we tackle the uncomfortable learning situations in which we’ve been.
Discomfort is our teacher. Pain is a warning sign. The two can be difficult to distinguish however, they are messages from the body saying 2 wildly different things. Pain is warning us that we are going down the wrong path. Our body is saying stop, if you continue like this you will hurt yourself, whether that be physically, mentally or emotionally. When we feel pain we need to pause, evaluate & readjust. Discomfort, is very different. She is here to teach us & allows us the opportunity to grow. Discomfort is a gift. Recognize her when she shows up & lean into her. Because shying away & staying in the comfort zone leads to static energy. We need to move forward in life & we never feel good when we stay home on the couch having declined an opportunity to try something new.
Take time today to sit with yourself. Listen to the stories coming up for you, what thoughts are arising, what feelings are reaching the surface that you may have thought were long gone? They have returned for a reason. The Moon is trying to reveal something to you. It’s most likely going to feel uncomfortable & that’s not only ok, that’s amazing! It’s your chance to grow so take it. You’re going to feel so much better when you come out the other side.
Grab some paper, light a candle. Write down what you’re feeling. Write down what is no longer serving you, those thoughts & emotions that you don’t want to carry around any more. Write it then burn it. Release it back to the Earth. Clear out space in your life so new things can grow this Spring. You can’t fit new shoes into an overflowing closet. Time to do the clearing work to show the Universe you’re ready to receive the beautiful new gifts she has in store for you. As a Scorpio I can say that keeping secrets hidden deep down can feel so natural but that’s the comfort zone keeping you stuck. Once you allow the shadow sides the opportunity to be heard you’ll find a whole new level of comfort. One full of confidence & worth. Once you feel worthy, you become worthy of all the that the Universe wants to give you & that is where the real magic begins.
