Full Moon in Scorpio on April 22nd, 2016: All About 'The Full Pink Moon'

Full Moon in Scorpio on April 22nd, 2016: All About 'The Full Pink Moon'

• April 20, 2016
  

Friday, April 22nd, 2016 brings us a Full Moon in Scorpio – and between Mars Retrograde, and the Full Moon, it may feel as though you’re being pulled in all different directions. Unresolved issues from the past are becoming ever-present in the present, and worries of the future may cause you to feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. While it may seem like everything is falling apart, in reality – things are falling together, and whatever is breaking down right now, is creating new room for a more expansive experience.




Astrologically speaking, this Full Moon creates a standoff between Taurus and Scorpio, which calls for us to find balance and personal security, but to check our ego and do some deep work on our soul. Everything is changing rapidly, but as things shift their shape – don’t forget to stay grounded, and try not to allow the energy to thwart your equilibrium. If you keep your balance, you may find a pleasant surprise over the weekend when Venus joins with Uranus, which will open your heart and mind to abundance…but don’t be too pushy, practice the art of allowing and let it be what it’s meant to be.
April’s Full Moon is also referred to as the Full Pink Moon, which carries a very powerful energetic signature…

“The kind of grass that is called pink or wild ground phlox is one of the earliest, widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this same moon were the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and — among coastal tribes — the Full Fish Moon, when the shad came upstream to spawn.
April’s full moon will also coincide with the peak of the annual Lyrid meteor shower but don’t expect a dazzling display of shooting stars. The bright moonlight will wash out most meteors this year. The moon also will NOT turn green this year despite an Internet rumor. ” (via Space.com)

In using the nature energies that surround this Full Moon as a guide to deepen the appreciation and understanding of the shape of things to come – both the sprouting grass, and the egg can serve as great metaphors for guidance. For grass to grow, a seed must be planted, cared for, and tended to…while it takes time, light and care – eventually the grass breaks through the dirt/darkness, and reaches the surface to stand tall and proud in the sunshine.
The same thought process can be applied to the egg as the “teacher” and a great quote to serve as a mantra for this time period is the following “if an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If an egg is broken from an inside force, life begins. Great things happen from the inside”.
Stand tall and proud, look within and allow what’s meant to manifest, remember to stay balanced and calm – and not allow the ego to trick you. Look deep into your soul, enjoy the change of seasons, fall in to what’s meant to be and let go of what’s not.

Understanding the Energy of Tonight’s Full Moon in Scorpio

April 21, 2016 Alexandria 0 Comments




There is a full moon in Scorpio tonight! Scorpio is the eighth astrological sign in the Zodiac and quite an intense one. The most used word to describe Scorpio’s is intense. Much like a scorpion, scorpios can act with a tough exterior, when they are much more sensitive on the inside.
The ruler of Scorpio is Mars, the planet of passion and fire, which are naturally more intense than other traits. Pluto, the planet of depth, secrets and power is also a sub-ruler of Scorpio. There are always opposing signs, so now that the moon is in Scorpio, the sun is in Taurus.
So there is a pull between the intensity of the scorpion and the push of the bull. Taurus is all about the push, the motion and moving life forward. It deals with practicality, solidity and staying true to yourself. At times, it can seem pushy, greedy and insensitive. Those are the two poles that are reflecting each other.
Scorpio’s energies come through many different ways, is it up to our perception to deem them either positive or negative. The up side of scorpio is about transformation, love and passion. The down side reflects obsession, control, jealousy and manipulation.
This sign is about creating your destiny, putting yourself in the spot of the creator and taking the actions that will produce the results you’re wanting. Take the time in this full moon to reflect on what you truly want in life, and see the steps you can take to get there.

 As we move forward, Mars and Pluto are already in retrograde. This means the energies of Scorpio are even more intensified as it’s ruling planets get amplified. Because Mars just went into retrograde and the full moon is in a Mars-ruled sign, the energies of passion, aggression and transformation are completely amplified. 

During this time, try to work through any frustrations you have towards people that have been building up over time. Try to use the wave of intensity to your benefit, as it will allow you to see how people act under pressure and bring out their true colors.
Conflicts might be more explosive, bigger and last longer while Mars is in retrograde. Many people get anxious during retrogrades because emotions get very sensitive and it’s easier to aggravate people than normal. This is a perfect time to practice patience and compassion with the people in your life.
Allow any blocked emotions, past issues or miscommunications to come up, and instead of getting upset or dismissing the problems, hear them fully. See the purpose they serve in your life and the lessons you can learn from them.
You just might find that old issues that kept you in the same energetic patterns can become understood so well that they are no longer repeated.
The planets come out of retrograde in early May, so until then, use this time to accelerate your personal growth and expand in ways your might have been scared of doing before. Understand everyone is affected by these energies, even if they don’t feel it. So everyone will be a little off, and that is a perfect time to see different sides of people you’ve never seen before.

Full Moon Blessings – Creating and Receiving Blessings at 4/21 Full Moon

Full Moon Blessings                
Creating and Receiving Blessings at 4/21 Full Moon
by Selacia 


Full Moons can be powerful times of personal growth, breakthroughs, and celebrations. At times like the April 21-22 Scorpio Full Moon, you may notice energies are more intense and amplified. Emotions, perhaps normally under wraps, tend to come to the surface. You could be over-the-top joyful and fire-hot angry, all in one day.
 
Full Moon Spotlight
 
There’s a spotlight on things around this time, bringing to awareness details of things. Insights can be profound – whether from dreams, meditation, simple inner inquiry, or observation. Solutions can come to you, seemingly from out of nowhere, helping you to make life shifts or heal difficult situations.
 
Many people feel an expanded energy for several days in advance and afterwards. While it’s common to feel on overload when things get intense, don’t overlook the blessings of this monthly cycle. Right now in particular, with everything else going on, it can be very useful to focus on potential blessings you can create and receive at this Full Moon.
 
Full Moon Blessings Tips
 
Applying these tips over the next few days can help you create optimal energies and outcomes. When you are in optimal flow, you are a better magnet for blessings.
 
You: to receive available blessings, keep yourself in the picture. You are at the helm of your creations after all, and that includes managing your own energy so you are open and available to receive from the universe. As a divine changemaker you remember your role at the helm of creating positive change. Continually strive to embody this role more fully.
 
Space: insights and breakthroughs can come more easily when your inner and outer space is clear and uncluttered. Even one key insight you didn’t have before could lead to huge blessings in your life! Manage your inner space with regular stillness, meditation, and contemplation. These states are more easily accessed when you turn off your runaway mind with its repetitive thoughts about the past and future. Manage your outer space with a combination of de-cluttering and choosing the circumstances of how you spend your time. Know that you choose who or what you let in during personal time – consciously or unconsciously. Even an unconscious choice to allow unnecessary distractions is a choice and can impact your ability to be still.
 
Windows: use the potency of this Full Moon to benefit from windows of opportunity. At times like this, those windows can open wide so you want to be awake to them. Keep in mind that some opportunities may be some sort of lesson in disguise – something your soul wants you to see or move through to get to the next window that has amazing blessings. When you consider things that way, even the preparatory window is a blessing. In other circumstances, your window may actually be associated with a huge blessing on its own, arising from recent struggles now being transformed into a wondrous gift. Still other windows of opportunity can come like a lightning bolt. Blessings like this are sometimes missed because the person was not present and did not expect something to happen. As an example, a man could meet his soulmate when out with friends but not connect the dots.
 
Considering the above factors, do your best to be consciously in charge of yourself and surroundings over the next few days. That sounds so easy, of course, but in practice it indeed is a developing skill. Trust that you are encoded as a divine changemaker to become a master of such skills. Know that you have abundant resources to create blessings and to be a blessing to the world.
