Full Moon Blessings to you All
I write this one hour just past the Moon at her fullest directly opposite the Sun now in Taurus. Holy Moly there's a lot happening for so many of us right now - right?!
For starters I highly recommend that you have a quick read of last months Blog again as it really has been the precursor to all of the current Scorpio/Libran energy. Look back also in your diaries, journals, photos to jog your memory of what has been arising in your lives since the 1st September.
What has felt uncomfortable, private, held deep within that has started to niggle and won't go away.
What has come up that you are resistant to change for fear of the unknown??
These are your Venus Mercury Retrograde clues. The Full Moon today in Taurus, ruled by Venus has also been building in energy and may very well shed a lot more light on the uncomfortable. Of what needs to change but we just can't let go of easily. We are in a lot of "fixed energy" this full Moon and it will nudge us to what it is that we are afraid of letting go of incase we don't get it back or it doesn't work the way we planned. But what if you let go/surrendered and it was even better!!
Let me begin with Venus and Mercury in Retrograde in Scorpio - probing, digging, unearthing the hidden and unseen things we may not want to acknowledge within ourselves or our relationships. Venus rules our body, self worth, our pleasure, our relationships, how we create stability and safety for ourselves. It's our relationship to money and personal values. In Scorpio Venus has been bringing up our deepest desires, intimacy, power dynamics, where we have power or what has power over us. Relationship dynamics, suppressed sexual dynamics, jobs that may no longer feel aligned, parts of our inner selves that carry wounds of self doubt, worthlessness, shame, repetitive unhealthy cycles. Venus in Scorpio has been scourging the deepest, most private parts of ourselves and it can feel downright YUK !
Mercury is now also in Retrograde travelling the same path as Venus but this is now asking how do I understand what I am feeling. What is the core reason for my emotional trigger ? It asks us to look within rather than outward for the answers as the answers are already within.
How do I sit with this and observe in a retrograde rather than an outburst of repressed feelings! Mercury in Scorpio has a tendency for our words to have a real sting.
What truths are surfacing for me that I haven't wanted to see before?
What feels unsettling or uncomfortable that I am fearful to let go of?
What needs reevaluating or renegotiating in all things relationships, money and jobs?
What tough conversations are needing to be had?
What do I really want and value?
Venus has travelled back into Libra going back over timelines that we experienced late August early September. When a planet goes back and then forward over the same degrees, its like we hit the rewind button and the universe offers us another chance to redo or rethink what has gone before. She will stay in Libra until 4 December and then move back into desirous, intense Scorpio retracing her steps, our steps. Decisions, conversations, information coming to light will feel less dense, change may feel easier. An inner sense of your own power and strength emerges.
Retrogrades especially a Venus one is a turning inward of inner observation and reflection. Not everything that comes up for you has to be spilled out or shared during a retrograde as you will find that emotions shift and change, clarity and ahaa moments keep revealing, until the process has completed.
Full Moons are release points. So there may be private thoughts that you observe and journal now that will look and feel completely different by late December! Healing isn't just a case of "let it go" - that personally doesn't work for me or most others I see in my sessions!! It's more seeing and observing the shadow ( the part of us we hide) energies within us, then noticing how we react to others because of these feelings. When we can acknowledge and truly see the core of what is causing these big feels we are able to eventually just witness and not react. It may keep coming up but we kind of just see it and shrug it off without big feels and over time it gets less and less and just integrates within - that's the essence of true inner work during these retrogrades!!
Sometimes its scary going into the dark, but the Moon will always find a way to shine a little or a lot of light in!! This Moon makes a tense square to Pluto - the planet of endings, alchemy and transformation. There is profound change and endings around this time line. This Venus retrograde is in fact ending a 100 year cycle in Scorpio - that's a lot of deep water that is now clearing and changing! Parts of your life have been ebbing and changing every 8 years within this larger cycle. Some of those changes maybe were not made willingly or by choice but your future higher self is always guiding you to a better future trajectory. You will always figure it out!! The trick is to bring into your consciousness a version of your future self and how you want that to look! Remember we are also still in the incredible energy of merging timelines, past, present and future - your thoughts are potent manifestors.
I will leave you with a couple of questions to ponder along with the above ones mentioned.
What am I attached to but don't really need?
What fears do I hold around change?
What is arising within you that is a hard yes even though there is no logical pathway?
I will leave it there for this month. Thank you so much for reading - I really do appreciate it. One of my 'things' is thinking why would anyone want to read my words!!! I've been working on that and showing up each month getting a little braver and more in line with my heart frequency and write my truth without fear of judgement!! We all have our 'things' don't we!!!!
Take Care
