• Full Flower Moon - May In most areas, flowers are abundant
everywhere during this time. Thus, the name of this Moon. Other names
include the Full Corn Planting Moon, or the Milk Moon.

As with every FULL MOON, there can be either positive or negative
influences set into motion, largely depending on individual
circumstances and the personal actions undertaken by the Self. If we
are moving through life with a Conscious Awareness, and learning to
adapt to the variable Moon Phases, we can often see the fruits of our
labors come to bear under the Full Moon Phase.

On the other hand for those who prefer to move through life with
little or no Higher Awareness, difficulties and conflicts in
interpersonal relationships are apt to be the dominant theme playing
out during this time. Since the Sun and Moon are dynamically opposed
to each other under at this Phase, there is a greater tendency for
many to feel pulled apart, or find themselves caught up in conflicts,
disagreements, separations and all manner of difficulties and
confrontations.

At the Full Moon, we are more susceptible to the opposing forces
between the Conscious and the Subconscious.

FULL MOON IN SCORPIO

This Full Moon emphasizes the FIXED WATER modality relating to Deep
and intense emotional energy.This lunation is also a LUNAR ECLIPSE
(http://www.mooncatsastrology.com/webpages/eclipses.htm) suggesting
that the energies may be more intense than with a normal Full Moon.

Scorpio represents : the Power of emotional experience and is
associated with the highs and lows of life and the mysteries of Life
and Death. As the lowly Scorpion, this sign is intensely protective
and resentful, prone to the misapplication or abuse of power.
Only when Scorpio energies have transcended the illusions of the
mundane, does it then arise as the lofty eagle, capable of
penetrating observation and awareness.

According to the MOON ORACLE, the eclipse falls in Mansion 18,
representing sacrifice and emotional extremes. In this particular
Mansion, the passion of Pluto and the compassion of Neptune combine
and thus there is the potential for Selfless Actions to be expressed.
On the other hand, Pluto can be highly demanding, while Neptune can
also confuse and disorient. Some may be required to make the ultimate
sacrifice for the sake of a particular cause or another person. Under
the pressures of this influence, Integrity must be upheld at all
costs.

ACCORDING TO SYBIL LEEK: 'Full Moons in Scorpio can unleash all
manner of hate and discontent and this is a time when appropriate
control of the emotional energies becomes most important. This is a
time to think before you act, and try to put vengeful feelings at the
back of your mind. Also, this is said to be a time when civil unrest
and rioting is apt to occur.

The Full Moon always represent a climactic time, and the expressions
of power should be directed into positive and constructive channels,
rather than into negative and destructive actions.

In this instance, the lunar influence is polarized by the extreme
security needs of the Sun in Taurus, and this polarity creates
tension between one's personal resources, and the resources of
others. So long as the Bullish aspect of the Sun in Taurus is not
provoked he is content with his own possessions, and prefers comfort
and domestic harmony. The intense emotional pull of the Moon in
Scorpio however serves to disrupt environmental harmony and is more
apt to seek ways to upset the status quo.through manipulation and
abuses of power and influence.

The Scorpio Full Moon can be particularly influential for those born
under any of the Fixed Signs including Leo, Aquarius & Taurus.

IF YOUR MOON AT BIRTH WAS IN TAURUS, this can be a time of increased
tensions, restlessness and disequilibrium triggered by personal
insecurities within, and perhaps repressed anger, while SCORPIO MOONs
may be overly confident about their own power and influence over
others.
