Full Moon in Scorpio, May 12th, 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.
