Full Moon in Scorpio
Posted by whisel on May 20, 2008
This full Moon is an invitation to experience — not control — your own fathomless depths. And to live with more integrity, because you’ve dared to venture into your own darkness.
From out of the hidden dark, you get a glimpse of the soul’s true face this full Moon. If you’ve been stagnating and lost, here’s a chance to release what’s dead, dying or diseased. In Scorpio, we turn the eye inward, grow surly or intense…the pressure builds, and we sense that something is really, really wrong. But there’s also a knowing that the answer is not simple. This kind of change happens at the soul level, the kind that comes from facing those core fears. The word sea-change comes to mind, since Scorpio’s depths are oceanic. The risks of change are great, but so are the rewards. Considered the most potent of the year by many astrologers, it’s a portal to a total life make-over.

I don’t know about you, but yesterday I experienced a very yearning day…. for people. I’m usually a hermit type, happy to be involved in my habitat, my creativity/spirituality, cats, chores, computer, phone or TV. There is always something interesting brewing in my mind, my heart, my soul, but yesterday……… whoosh.… I had to get outside immediately and get with people as quick as I could.
I needed eyes, smiles, conversations. I needed connecting. There be my heart, actually. The substance of my life has had to do with humon encounters. Yesterday, I felt a desperate void, an intense lack of that special preciousness I so delight in.
So I went downstairs, outside, sat in the sun and waited. My first engagement was with a young fellow named John. He was walking his dog. I smiled at him and somehow I think… I willed him over.
And so he came to me and I met his fabulous chocolate Lab named Hershey. And then I met him. Sweet, young and vibrant. We chatted a bit about dogs, smiled a whole lot, shaking hands when he left.
Next another resident came to chat. She had been out walking around the neighborhood. We spoke about garage sales, resale shops, farm auctions, family, vacations and other sunshine topics. I noticed she had her hand on my arm as we spoke. A glorious connection that grounded me, welcomed my belonging. Then a few other smiles and waves as I walked among the trees and grassy landscape.
After that, I went home. My heart was singing and I felt a great wellness within.
Full Moon in Scorpio is intense. It pulls to the depths of needs and issues. Anyone else feeling a strong desire or disorientation these days?
Best wishes, Whisel*

Yes, the full Scorpio Moon!
First of all, I have had a thing about how the full moons affect me all of my life. It has always meant little or no sleep and a restlessness of spirit and body.
This one has been a doozy for me. . .relatively speaking. I mean I feel so fabulous and so darn good in my physical body these days that any less than perfect feeling in body is highly irritating to me and seems worse than actually it is.
Monday evening was a sudden onset with aches and pains in places I have long since stopped paying any attention to. There was also an odd feeling in my consciousness of unevenness, followed quickly by a huge, overwhelming tiredness. It was as if I had no energy spark within me, I was doubtful I could even take the 10 or 15 steps from my computer to the recliner in the living room. Almost an instant crushing fatigue. I was very irritated by the whole thing. I made it to the recliner. I instantly slept soundly for one hour. I awoke and went back to whatever I had been doing before all of this.
Several hours later, the feeling of oddness, uneven-ness, something not quite in order (more in consciousness than in physicalness) returned. I can’t really describe what was so odd, but it was certainly not in the flow of energy that I am normally occupying. I stopped what I was doing and “pampered myself” with a quiet and comfortable sitting in my chair and some chamomile tea, then called it a night.
Next morning (yesterday) all was well, no aches, no pains, no weariness, no oddness. . .a sure sign that I had weathered whatever energy wave that had made ripples the day before.
In the past few days I have become aware that I am no longer “here” and I’m in no way able to describe what that means in the course of things that others might understand. It also has brought me to a place of extreme ADD. Nothing “here” seems to be moving fast enough for me. I see and experience long spaces between things that in the reality of “here” do not exist, but are very real in the place where I am existing.
Some say do some grounding. That is not my purpose or goal at this moment, so no thanks. The ADD, the jumping from one thing to another constantly is a bit strange for me but it does bring me a lot of laughter. I attribute it to becoming more multi-dimensional, or perhaps more correctly, more aware of the multi-dimensionality of self.
Maintaining a train of thought is another laughable thing. If the conversation isn’t shortly to the point I can’t seem to stay with it long enough to hold where I was going with it. Tough stuff for a preambling verbose one such as I have been. LOL!
All in all these latest energies are engaging, exciting, ponderous, odd, strange and an all around good time.

Hi there Shirl….
I figured there are scores of others shifting and shaking along with the Moon Tides. My daughter sent me a text during this last big Moon, saying she’s dong fine except something felt odd in the Universe.
I replied: Full Moon. She said: Aha! That explains it.
It does. It does. And that second Scorpio Full Moon was a doozy too.
When you speak of multi-dimensions and the ADD effect, it reminds me of the Nagual in Carlos Castenada’s stories. :::::jump-shift-turn-move-wait::::: And then repeat the pattern.
Well, we have drifted out of range now and I can happily settle down to my drawings and watercolors again.
Have a joyful day. Whisel*

Hi Whisel, have been very busy with family and sewing and didn’t have a chance to respond to this article.
Can you post any of your drawings and watercolors, I would love to see them. Can you take pictures of them if you don’t have a scanner.
