Horoscopes for the Full Moon in Scorpio
The Full Moon at 9 degrees Scorpio will be exact on April 29th at 8:58 P.M. ET
The Sabian symbol for 9 degrees Scorpio is:
A dentist at work
Dane Rudhyar suggests that this symbol relates to the negative results of social practices and ego cravings. “Life in society both perverts and repairs, destroys and rebuilds.” In some circumstances we need dentists because of the self-inflicted damage we have done to our own body by poor lifestyle choices such as smoking or eating processed foods loaded with sugar. We have the innovation required to repair the damage, yet the extremities themselves indicate an imbalance reflected in the principle of freedom of choice.
In contrast, the Sabian symbol for 9 degrees Taurus where the Sun sits at the time of the Full Moon is the following:
A fully decorated Christmas tree
...which Rudhyar relates to the ability to create inner happiness in dark hours, suggesting the tree is symbolic of the ever-present possibility to transmute pain into joy (as the tree has been taken from a barren winter landscape and decorated to be celebrated within the created home/inner world of man), in expectation of the high moments in life that are to come.
Together there is a very clear message regarding choice as it presents itself in the context of our current society. The axis of Taurus-Scorpio relates to the principle of attachment, which is the bondage that keeps us chained to comfort-seeking emotional and behavioural patterns that block the full expression of our soul life. In the sign of Scorpio, we transmute our pain to unite with our inner shadow and discover the full potential of our power. Once we understand the value of honesty, healing and personal integrity, we no longer want to make decisions that are self-destructive or are destructive towards others. This is when the inner light (the Christmas tree) can be illuminated by way of our own reserves of joy and faith, and we no longer seek outside validation that only serves to distract and confuse our own potential to draw from our inner emotional resources.
Our society is full of temptation to indulge the isolative, egoic aspects of ourselves, which are finite and easily fall into the endless trap of earthly pleasure and sensory stimulation. Everything is accessible, whether constructive or destructive, and this is why in releasing attachment to any one coping mechanism or negative emotional/behavioural pattern, we enter the void that is the true landscape of transformation and liberation from cyclic pain and suffering.
These themes are clearly revealed by The Lovers tarot card, which depicts a young man embarking on the path of awakening consciousness, who is faced with the choice to commit in devotion to the angelic woman who holds the keys to his spiritual evolution (a symbolic inner fusion with his Yin aspect/integration of the shadow elements of self), or to continue on a path of distraction and transient grazing through illusion that keeps him in the dark although it may be full of immediate sensory gratification.
Integrity and commitment to choosing light and honouring the shadow through healing and honesty, rather than being overpowered by the shadow through the force of unconscious pulls and desires, is central to overcoming the attachment to what binds us to the karmic wheel of life. Unconsciously choosing bondage over liberation of soul is the realm of The Devil tarot card, which depicts another situation of choice, wherein the two figures are pictured chained by Satan, aka Saturn, the planetary archetype of living in material reality in a way that is divorced from the spiritual seed which served as its original birthplace.
The Mars conjunction to a retrograde Pluto (both rulers of the sign Scorpio) at the time of the Full Moon very clearly serves to drive home this important point of the power of choice. Be mindful of what is motivating you and work towards being as honest and behaving with as much integrity as possible. The divine allies always await to lift us up when we fall, so long as we make the choice to receive their assistance.
