Full moons are about completion and seeing evidence of the seeds planted during the previous new moon. Did you journal about what you want to manifest around the most recent new moon? If so, check in on those things to see what progress has been made.
This month, the full moon enters Scorpio on May 18, 2019 at 5:11 p.m. EST. Scorpio has us in our emotions, and the full moon is a time of culmination and release. That combination might have your emotions spilling over rather than being kept in check as they otherwise would be.
So what does that mean on a practical level?
- You may find yourself taken off-guard by the depth of your feelings about something.
- An unexpected declaration of love or a surprising realization about how much someone means to you would not be out of the ordinary under these circumstances.
- With the Sun in stubborn, routine-loving Taurus, you may notice an inner conflict between the desire to maintain the status quo and the desire to plunge beneath the surface to see what might lie beneath.
- Don’t be surprised if you feel a desire to speak a truth that would shake things up a bit and break you out of your typical day-to-day.
If you’re making weekend plans, it’s probably not a good idea to stuff it with activity. Rather, this is a weekend of reflection so give yourself time and space to experience and process the emotions that might be stirred up.
Any full moon is a time when things come to the surface that you might not have been aware of, such as hurts you didn’t know were still affecting you or beliefs you didn’t know you had. You may even find that certain thoughts take you by surprise. Scorpio is about transformation so whatever comes to the surface may be particularly deep and important in your inner life. Pay attention to any pangs of emotion you feel. What comes up could be truly life transforming, taking you on a journey to reach a deeper segment of your soul.
The full moon in Scorpio is not a time for small talk and frivolous relationships. You may easily become bored or irritated during this period with those who you only know on a surface level. Spend this weekend with those who really matter in your life, or by yourself. This may be a time for you to ‘go deep’ with a loved one. Truths have a way of coming out during a Scorpio full moon. If there are secrets, this may be the time that they are revealed.
