Full Moon in Scorpio, May 12^th, 12:56pm EDT

Written by Cari Campbell

The Full Moon in Scorpio is occurring opposite Uranus, manifesting with the Soul Star Chakra (North Node)/Ceres/Saturn, and forming a boomerang yod with Jupiter and Chiron/Eris.  We have, yet again, another jam-packed lunation offering up flashes of insight, support for moving towards a more soul-led life, and inner friction thanks to Chiron and Eris.  

Recall that Chiron and Eris were communing with the Sun during the last full Moon, so there is a continuation of a theme.  Also recall that last month there was a boomerang yod, also featuring Uranus.  The Nodes, given we were in eclipse season, were obviously active in the past few lunations.  Even though the wormhole has closed, whatever came up for you then is still being unpacked.  Mercury, Venus and Mars have all recovered their shadows, so we are moving into new territory with all that we realized during the wormhole.  And yet…it seems there is still more to come in regards to what was unearthed the past couple of months.  Yods are also known as “Fingers of God” as the two resources point to the direction of the “fulcrum” planet.  In both this full Moon and the one prior, the Moon is the fulcrum of the boomerang yod and the Sun is the release valve between the two resources, but this time the Sun is communing with Uranus.  Interesting that only this morning I heard a notable channel state that May would be full of “trickster energy”, which is typically associated with Uranus.  “Trickster” doesn’t have to have a negative connotation- it can just quickly expose something or cause a change in course.

Chiron and Eris were also part of the previous yod- but now Jupiter is playing a major role.  Jupiter amplifies- so expect what came up last month to be bigger.  Maybe this feels good, maybe it doesn’t.  It’s possible that the Chiron core-wound feels amplified to get you to pay attention and integrate your rejected parts of yourself once and for all.  

Pluto is the dispositor of this full Moon, and he is in resource with Neptune (in a 5 degree orb resource with Venus), and forming an intersection with Mercury in Taurus and Haumea in Scorpio.  Pluto’s transformative Aquarian energy is not meshing well with Mercury’s earthy vibe, but Pluto rules Scorpio and therefore is disposing Haumea.  She is a creatrix; a Goddess who can birth from nothing.  Ponder this…are your thoughts (Mercury) leaning towards security, while Haumea is hinting that you are capable of birthing something completely new?  Haumea is a 5D planet, so she will inform your consciousness rather than trigger specific events; spending time in quiet contemplation will provide the space for her energy to flow through you.

The Soul Star, Ceres and Saturn are holding space for you to usher in something soul-led.  Ceres is the midwife who can help you cross the threshold, while Saturn provides the necessary discipline to help you stay focused on who you are becoming.  The Earth Star in grounded Virgo is probably offering something stable in an area where you already have mastery.  Are you going back, or are you going forward?  These planets are forming a stepping stone with Jupiter which means Jupiter is also forming an intersection between the lunar nodes.  How can Jupiter’s energy in Gemini be put to good use?  In 5D, Gemini is where duality is transcended.   It seems overthinking, making something an “either/or”, “good/bad”, “dharma/karma” decision would be firmly in duality and not what Jupiter is asking at this time.    A useful practice will be to get centered and in a place of presence and neutrality, and from there, let curiosity (a Gemini trait!) guide you. 

It is worth pointing out that part of duality is male vs female, and currently Venus and Mars are manifesting with one other until the end of May, so there is a nice flow between these energies.  Learning to flow between feminine and masculine energies will facilitate that centered presence where mind, body and soul are all in alignment.

Circling back to Chiron and Eris- there is probably a long-standing issue that is ready to be transformed, and this transformation is necessary for the forward movement of your soul-led visions.  What recurring discomfort keeps you “safe” (in other words, stagnant)?  If, after getting centered and navigating through the nodal intersection, you are confronted with those same limiting fears that always hold you back, it’s time for a shift.  Take those small steps through your discomfort.  Sit with the unease that arises.  Rip off the band-aid and just do something that moves you forward.   Avoiding will not make your fears disappear. 

Birthing something new, living more authentically, doing soul-led work…it can be scary.  Doing the inner work to align with a different reality and doing the outer work (there’s that female/male flow coming into play!) to actually take action in spite of fear is necessary to move into this next level.  The cosmos are encouraging us to breathe…love ourselves…notice our discomfort…and live authentically.

April 2025 Full Moon in Libra, 8:22pm EDT

This is the last Full Moon of the wormhole, and features a full planetary line up.  The Moon is communing with Arcturus, bringing some big cosmic consciousness, while the Sun is communing with Chiron and Eris.  Inner disruption and core wounds are shining brightly in the light of the Sun, and the Moon and Arcturus are helping us with emotional healing and wholing.  

The traditional dispositor of this Moon is Venus, who is stationing direct at 24 Pisces and part of a Pisces stellium with Mercury, the Soul Star Chakra (North Node), and Saturn.  In Cosmic Consciousness Sedna is the ruler of Libra.  Sedna represents a divine feminine who transcends and comes into wholeness.  This is exactly what the Full Moon is offering with Chiron and Eris sitting with the Sun.

Mars is forming an intersection with the Moon and Sun as well. Mars is still in Cancer in his retrograde shadow (he recovers his shadow around May 1st at 6 Leo).  Mars in Cancer is highlighting themes around the home, family, nurturing, and emotional power. Cancer is the sign of The Mother, and mother wounds may be showing up for purging at this time.   The Libra Moon is asking us to be aware of our reflection that we see in others, and to remember that we project ourselves onto those around us.  Libra/Aries is the relationship axis, where Libra is the mirrored self.  The key to using this moment is to stay aware that the reflections we see “out there” in others is a reflection of ourselves.   Chiron and Eris with the Sun may be reflecting our wounds back to us.  This is to catalyze us towards self-healing and wholing; remember everything happens for us, not to us.  As long as we project our pain onto others and refuse to own it, we won’t reclaim all of our parts of ourselves.   

In addition to the Mars intersection, this lunation features a boomerang yod- The Moon/Arcturus is the fulcrum, while Uranus is in resource with Mercury/Venus/Soul Star/Saturn (remember that in a yod, or finger of God, the planets in resource form great eliminators with the fulcrum planet, creating tension).  The Sun/Chiron/Eris is the “release valve” of this boomerang yod.  So again, we are supported in tending to our unclaimed parts- those core wounds.  How do we do this?  Listen to the parts of yourself that are crying out.  Invite all parts back to yourself.  (The book “No Bad Parts” is a great resource for working with core wounds!)  

The Nodes, Mars, Uranus, and Mercury/Venus/Saturn are also forming a cradle.  A cradle is a bridge (in this case, the Nodes as well as Mercury/Venus/Saturn) with resources in between the bridge (Mars and Uranus forms the resources to each other and the Nodes).  This configuration offers inspired action (Mars) and flashes of insight (Uranus) as to what we truly value.  The Earth Star (South Node) is the path we have already walked- the lessons we have learned, what we have mastered…our karma.  The Soul Star combined with Mercury, Venus and Saturn represents the area of growth in this lifetime.  Our values and hearts desires (Venus) are aligning with our mental body (Mercury) and Saturn is offering the discipline and commitment to this future growth.  So pay attention to what shows up right now- where do you feel compelled to take inspired action?   The energy here is flowing!  Where is the flow leading you?  Are you resisting, or going with it?

Jupiter, Ceres and Vesta- Jupiter is forming a stepping stone with Ceres and a great eliminator with Vesta, while Ceres and Vesta are manifesting with one another.  The manifestation supports the birthing of something and devotion to it, while the Jupiter aspects indicate a friction point- what needs to be eliminated or overcome as you move forward?  Orcus is bridging Ceres, indicating that this birthing and devotion is related to our higher self- our soul’s purpose as we entered this lifetime.  This may feel like something “bigger than you”, something that you are inexplicably called towards.  Or maybe it’s something you have always admired or wanted but never dared to consider…can you look a little deeper?  Often it’s only our fears and self-doubts that keep us tethered to what we know and unable to consider another future.  What if the reason you are admire or are drawn to something is because it is part of your destiny?

The wormhole ends April 27th.  Mercury recovers his shadow on April 25th, while Venus recovers her shadow May 1st as does Mars.   You have a few more weeks to process all that is occurring, but remember to stay open and allowing.  Wormholes can deliver us somewhere new, but we have to be willing to leave our safety net to get there!    The “yes, and” rule of improv comedy is coming to mind right now.  “No” is a knee-jerk reaction many of us have to anything outside our comfort zone…but “yes, and” opens us up to exploring.  It allows us to see options that were previously in our blind spots.   If a future path is calling you and you are afraid, practice looking at it from the “yes, and” lens.  “Yes, this scares me, and I want to consider it anyway.”  “Yes, I enjoy the secure income of this job, and I want to devote ‘x’ number of hours each week to this thing that gives me purpose.”  Let the Moon purge the emotions around your wounds, let yourself integrate and heal a bit, let Mercury and Venus bring a heart/mind alignment in regards to your purpose, and ask Saturn to help you build a routine.  

Happy Full Moon!

The wormhole has opened and we have our first eclipse of 2025! The Full Moon features a total lunar eclipse at 23° Virgo, in which the Karmic (South) Node is communing with the Moon. In addition to this, we have a Pisces stellium with the Sun, Ceres, the Dharmic (North) Node, Saturn and Neptune all residing in the limitless realm.  What this feels like is an invitation to swim in the realm of possibility (Pisces stellium), even though our past doubts, hurts, and patterns (Karma/Moon in Virgo) will be calling our attention.  Our comfort zone will likely feel really good right now, but the wormhole is going to request that you move outside of it!

This Full Moon is disposed by Chiron, the wounded healer.  How does your core wound keep you engaged with the past?  Are you able to see a future where you have come into wholeness?  Allow yourself to visualize and most importantly, feel your way into that future.  Can you find a balance point between old doubts, fears, and pain and your evolution?  Maybe you are hyperfocusing on details to such an extent that you are talking yourself out of moving forward?  If this is the case, it can be helpful to remember that drilling down too deep while you are in the dreaming stage can result in talking yourself out of trying things.  Again, balance- details matter, but baby steps will get you to the finish line.

Most importantly, remember to reclaim joy.  Virgo energy gets stuff done, but don’t forget to step into the dream world (Pisces) and connect with your joy, passion, and inspiration.  How can you be in service in a more fulfilling way?

Uranus in inserting himself into the party via a resource with the Sun/Dharmic Node/Saturn, and a manifestation with the Moon/Karmic Node.  We are in a wormhole so anything can happen!  Flashes of insight can lead you down an unexpected path.  Stay open and ready to shift!

Mars, who is now moving forward again, is also still forming a resource with the Moon and is manifesting with the Sun, so we can feel some energy and momentum around this time.  What small steps can you take towards your dreams right now?  What would align your energy with these goals?  

Virgo is the sign of inner alignment.  How can you clear all the internal blocks that keep you out of alignment with healing? What is blocking you from being your true, authentic self? What would help you balance your mind, heart, body and spirit?  Are you operating too much from your mental space, and need to get connected with spirit?  Do you need to move your body more frequently?  Have you connected with your heart recently?

With Saturn forming a bridge to the Virgo Moon, it may seem as though some external person or thing is restricting you.  It helps to remember that Saturn is the inner guru- the place where we own our authority and wisdom. With Saturn in Pisces, this is really a call to step into that part of yourself that is connected to your cosmic consciousness.

Mercury is stationing at this time, and will retrograde back to 27 Pisces, stationing direct on April 7th.  Mercury will not leave his shadow until April 26th, so we have six weeks to slow down our mental processes and review what is working and what isn’t.  Venus is also retrograde until April 12th, so now is the perfect time to align our heart and mind by really considering what our heart wants, and whether or not our thoughts are working for our against our heart’s desire.   Often, the mind’s desires to keep us safe works directly against what the heart wants.  Is the mind creating a problem that isn’t really there?  Is the mind fostering self-doubt?  This is the type of self-inquiry that will help make the most out of this retrograde cycle.

As we proceed through the wormhole, staying awake and centered will allow us to best navigate unexpected shifts and surprise turns.  The phrase “move or be moved” is coming to mind right now.  The wormhole can take you somewhere new and that can be a very good thing! Change can be wonderful, even if it’s scary.  Remember to claim your authority, and proceed with confidence in whatever direction you are moved.  Enjoy the ride!

Happy Full Moon in Leo!  Leo Full Moons can often bring great bursts of creativity and energy, and in this lunation we have a Sun/Mercury/Ceres conjunction to inspire us to birth something very “Aquarian”…something that connects us to oneness.  This Full Moon actually features a grand crossroads between the Moon in Leo, the Sun, Mercury and Ceres in Aquarius, Juno in Scorpio and Uranus in Taurus.  Grand crossroads always require us to get still and centered, so we can clearly see which way to go.    Remember that Uranus wants to awaken us via flashes of insight, and the best way to receive this information is be open to receiving.  If this Full Moon leaves us rattled and off-kilter we may miss the higher perspective from Uranus.  Take time to walk, take deep breaths, sit with a cup of tea…whatever it is that helps you center and ground.  Uranus may be what delivers the clear insight into what we want to birth (Ceres) and Juno will want us to fully commit to our idea.

Uranus is very busy, not just with the grand crossroad, but also with a manifestation with the Karmic (South) Node, a resource with Neptune and the Dharmic (North) Node, and in intimacy with Eris.  These are harmonious aspects so they are less likely to hit you over the head with impact, and again, it’s important to stay awake and aware so we can receive all the Uranus is offering us at this time.  You may clearly see how past behaviors and/or long-standing habits (Karmic Node) are hindering you as you desire to move forwards to your dreams (Dharma/Neptune).  

The Moon is in a manifestation with Chiron and Eris (with the Moon exactly manifesting with Eris).  Our emotions and core wound(s) are flowing and this allows for a breakthrough in healing these wounds.  This is a good time to practice “reparenting” yourself, which is a practice of allowing yourself to process your feelings in a way that is empathetic and supportive. It’s likely not how you grew up experiencing feelings.  Many of us learned to avoid our feelings at all costs- to be strong and suppress them, or we get very anxious when we have any feelings that aren’t the “good” ones.  But without allowing ourselves to have and feel all emotions we are cutting ourselves off from the wholeness of life.  If painful feelings come up, hold yourself and give yourself compassion and space to feel.  You can hug yourself, or simply imagine loving arms around you as you sit in stillness.  The story around why you feel what you feel isn’t important (it just keeps the mental loop running)- it’s letting yourself just feel it all. Anger, sadness, grief…these are feelings we all experience and resisting them just makes it linger.  

Saturn is still in a long manifestation with Mars retrograde. This was most recently exact on February 9^th and will be exact again on April 4^th/5^th after Mars turns direct.  Whatever has been showing up for you around trusting your intuition and honoring your inner world (Saturn in Pisces) combined with taking action around nurturing, home and emotional security (Mars in Cancer) that began around the end of September will continue, and hopefully this time you can release resistance and begin to honor whatever Saturn is asking of you.  

The planetary parade is still very much in effect and we are being called into alignment.  If we are in resistance, we are not in alignment.  We may find ourselves very suddenly on a path we weren’t expecting and maybe the changes are joyous, or maybe they are painful.  Remember that sometimes we have “ugly blessings”- events that look really bad at first glance but may lead us somewhere beautiful.  It’s not always easy to accept change but by making an effort to embrace it all as fully as we can, and remembering that miracles can and do occur, we can move into alignment and hopefully, inner peace.

Blessings,

Cari
