Reclaim Your Power: Scorpio Full Moon May 23 2024
Moon reading plus the two shifts to work with astrology from your own power
I am late to the party - today’s Full Moon was exact at 9:53am EST… but to be honest, my laxity is part of my philosophy around astrology.
I’ve been studying astrology for 8 years, I’ve taken courses, I’ve done Purpose Readings (astro plus numerology and Human Design), I’ve had period of time when I worked with them closely, and others when I’ve set astrology aside entirely. As you can tell, I am more aligned with astrology than ever, but this shift came only after made two essential reorientations.
First, those period of detachment were necessary for me to have a beneficial relationship with astrology where I work with it from a sense of empowerment. You must hold yourself as your own guru, your own highest influence, or else you run the risk of giving your power away and feeling lost amidst this complex system.
The second shift came when I began working with my sidereal astrological chart, the true placement of the planets in the sky in real time, with all 13 zodiac signs. You can read more on why that is in this piece I shared yesterday Why the stars matter, with more to come on how you can learn my unique perspective and method of this soon.
Do you see the theme already? Today’s Full Moon theme is about reclaiming your power, plain and simple. But why, where this power comes from, will surprise you.
Go ahead and google Scorpio… you will find no one can tell you quite why it’s associated with power from a grounded, historical perspective. This is my issue with mainstream astrology. It’s essential that we unwind it all and get to the ancient root of what we believe, and are choosing to project onto ourselves.
This is the pattern I am recognizing and beginning the process of reweaving, it is where Scorpio truly gets its power: behind every masculine dominated story associated with the stars and their astrological meaning lies the goddess, hidden, yet directing the theater of the heavens.
