Are we already in May? I blinked and here we are, almost at the half way mark of 2017!
This year appears to flow smoother than the year gone by. It is smooth yet full of speedy opportunities and even those are missed should we not pay head.
I promised to write about how this year is indeed the year of the High Priestess. The year where if we honour the Divine Feminine principals (#inallherforms), we will be lead to the mysteries that she keeps. Such mysteries are easily ignored and this year is somewhat forcing us to face the depths and the most secret parts of our own lives and the lives of those around us. There is a hymn that is always sung by this Divine Feminine principal and it calls for respect. If we step away from our desk, take a look out the window, we will see it and even hear its call. The madness is out there, the chaotic and wild fires of truth are blazing away and some are acting to serve their highest purpose, others are scared, scared of the day. To live by the day, to really let the clock tick and pretend life isn’t slipping away is almost as idiotic as the hellos we share. This astrological write up is coming from a Scorpionic tone and since the Full Moon in Scorpio on the 10th is ever so near now, it is important to acknowledge the raw and vacant gift of truth the cosmos are sharing.
I love Scorpionic energy. I love how it forces us to affirm boundaries, to die and be reborn in one life again and again and again. I love how it never leaves a single leaf unturned and when worked with correctly, can heal and support us in such profound manners.
When the Moon dances with Scorpio we will not be able to avoid emotion. The ice that freezes will melt as will the “up keep”. We are like walking storehouses, we swallow and ingest so much yet do we ever really process anything? The levels of distraction are endless and the choices we make tend to not be as healthy as they could should we slow down a little more. How rare is it to slow down in such times? How rare is it to pay attention to what we are doing in an actual moment? The mind is always busy and the heart rarely gets heard yet this Full Moon will not allow the same degree of distraction. It will loudly arrive and loudly depart. If you want to really find where you are wasting yourself then this Full Moon wont fail. The power that comes from integrity and the wish to be free of the “up keep” is yours – should you let it.
It is also a divinely sexual time and that raw energy can give birth to magnificent transformation. Every Scorpionic affair comes with a price and a good slogan for the typical Scorpio Moon situation is: PAIN IS GAIN. Knowing this, you mustn’t fear how powerful it will be. Let the divine mystery in and find the wisdom that you seek.
The High Priestess energy holds onto this Moon like her child, if you want to honour the Divine Feminine principal in you and in the world around you, work with this Moon to receive her grace. Hear the forgotten hymn and ask for protection. The Divine Feminine wants to protect all that call to her. This magic truth is in you and yes, it is a time for protecting our minds, our hearts and our actions. We must take a Scorpionic approach and be extreme with our most sincere beliefs. It is NOT a time for procrastination. If you want to have a meaningful life, now is the moment. If you want to protect yourself from hurdles and mess, now is the moment. Think of this Full Moon as a door to the endless treasures the Great Mother Goddess can give. We all have this nature within us and to allow its grace to deepen and protect we need to create the space. With the North and South Nodes shifting on the same day as this Full Moon, a worthwhile pride and grand view enters the equation. Not only will we get closer to the supreme truth, we will also have available conditions to want to serve others for the same reasons.
It is a highly spiritual time and a time of relevance.
This Full Moon will have the general public asking the right questions. The world will start to speak and want to awaken from a very sophisticated dream. Isn’t that a cool thing?
So…
How can we help?
How can we really make the most of this time?
I advise you to treat May like a secret masterpiece. What is accomplished in this month is greater than perceived. It will pass in a “behind the scenes” manner yet bite the world with its statements. We must not waste a single day in May and really listen to the subtle communication as well as embrace the conflict that is knocking at the door. I wouldn’t call it an argumentative time, I see it more as a time to get to the bottom of things and let a lot go.
If you are a lover of totality, depth and challenging questions…your moment has come. Seize it with bells on!
Now for the shadows…
The one Star Sign that can sip a cocktail with Hades and not fear its return home is Scorpio. There was a time when we could say the same for Aries yet things have changed and now only Scorpio can really be that daring!
Scorpionic energy can easily support us in reaching divine levels of consciousness but it can also take us down to the pits that are ever so haunting. Such power can destroy or create; such psychic potency can lead to our making or undoing! It is not a time to gamble, it is not a time to ignore the cold, hard and sometimes pretty truth. Take the surge of energy and focus on what counts. The depths are calling, as are the needs for protection. How can we better serve these needs and be leaders of inspiration in our environment?
“Do not waste your life” is the real message of this Full Moon. Make it meaningful and sincere. However it is that you wish to give birth to this truth, know that the creativity in the cosmos will support you.
Finances and the topic of making money are also in the atmosphere now; we need to work with the astrological support to plan the next few months with eloquence and refinement. Trust your instincts with finances and do not let anybody fool you, you can receive the support you need in May so long as you are clear and fair with your negotiations.
I get the feeling that a lot of what is going on will not make sense and will not be crystalized until late June however… we cannot undervalue how beneficial this month can be. We should now work with the subtle parts of our being and write down the revelations that come to us. The synchronicity is not a joke; it is a loud and proud statement from the universe. Pay attention to the omens, the hunches, the dreams and the signs. Be available to the subtle communication and learn from it with ease.
Tis the year of the High Priestess and this Full Moon is the activation point!
If you really wish to understand and work with the Divine Feminine principal you really need to get to know this Moon.
The High Priestess is known for her secrecy and strength. There is fearlessness in the presence of such energy. There is a constant search to understand what is concealed and an obvious hunger for the arcane. The High Priestess reminds us of the vastness of our own unique potential and the unlimited possibilities that hide in the depths of the subconscious plains. Through opening up to what could be we allow development. Through sensing what is secret and hidden we can also come to trust that inner truth. The link between the Moon in Scorpio and the Divine Feminine principal is large. Just think of all the moods the Great Mother Goddess possesses, think of all the flavors the mysterious plains contain. Scorpio and the High Priestess understand each other, they compliment each others work and on this Full Moon shatter whatever nonsense blocks us from being complete and sincere human beings.
The year of the High Priestess is about TRUTH. Rude, Loud and Powerful Truth. Let this Full Moon remind you.
Her Hymn
“Come come, O children of the stars, fear not the wisdom within
and let the magic save you. Come come, O dancers above the clouds, rise up,
you know what made you.”
I look forward to hear how this month unfolds for you. Feel free to share your experiences here.
May this Almighty month of May be that of an awarding one and lead us all to a sincerer state of being.
Love and light,
Tashi
