Emotional times? Here’s why..

It seems that everyone I know, and don’t know very well, is going through an emotional time. People taking things the wrong way, old issues with a neighbour finds it way back to taunt you, that ex that broke your heart is back messaging you, nee relationships or those established with issues that are never resolved seems to have made a return to get resolved, old school friends, new work colleagues.. whatever your situation, you can blame it on the moon.

Yeah.. the moon. Usually it’s the humble dog, right? Ate my homework!.. but this time it is firmly a planetary drive. Whether you believe in the power our planets in out solar system have on us or not, there are many synchronicities when it comes to these heavenly beauties and their various alignments and how it affects us.

Each one of us, when we were born, have a sun, rising and moon sign related to your birthday, where you were born and what time you were born. Here’s how to understand each of these.

Your sun sign is based mostly on the day you were born. It’s the most generally understood and used predictively of all our signs when you’re checking the papers or online for your daily star sign read. You don’t normally need a time of birth to know your sun sign but on occasion, the sun sign changes in one day. On such a day you would be one of two possible signs so knowing your time of birth here can be handy if you’re a cusper. I’m a December baby and fall through and through on the Sagittarius sun sign (fire).

Your rising sign, also known as your ascending sign, is time dependent.. it is based when you were born but as tine zoned will affect this depending on which part of the world you were born, lovetion plays a big factor too. The ascending sign changes every two hours generally but that depends how close you are to the equator as it’s not uncommon for a sign to ascend for 30mins then change! The further from the equator the longer a sign will linger to 3hrs. Mine is Virgo (earth).

The moon sign is based on the location, and frequently, the time of your birth as with the moon it changes signs every 2 to 2 1/2 days so if the time you were born falls in the middle of that transition you can be sure of your moon sign without a time of birth, but it could fall at a time when it’s changed. So it’s safe to have your birth time for this. My moon sign is Taurus (earth).

As with everyone, we are compiled astrologically of several several signs. There’s Sun (your main personality, Rising (what people see first when they meet you) and Moon (how you think).. then you have Venus (love), Mercury (how you communicate), Mars (what pisses us off), Jupiter (luck, expansion, vision), North Node (some say it charters your astrological destiny).. and the list goes on. Pending on the exact location, the exact time and the exact day/month/year you were born.. you are a unique combination of several factors that make you so very special. It’s not just your dna and thumb print that defines your physical body.. but you can understand from the planets just how you think, why you feel the way you do about certain situations, how you react to scenarios in your life and even down to how you view and relate to love.

With all this in mind.. we reach present day today, right now, the moment you read this when all the planets above are aligned in a particular way.. and when the moon is currently in Scorpio.

Full moons are known by astrologers as ruling our our intuition, emotional compass and sense of security. When the moon is at it’s apex, the full moon, it is at it’s most influential on those areas within us. Full moon vibes usually take a wild turn.. that errand you were planning.. but got hit with traffic, angry drivers and annoyed cashiers, a client calls with irrational demands, your neighbours party through the weekend (get ready.. the world is opening back up again). It’s those WTF moments in our life where we are railroaded off track by the unexpected and emotions are high.

Full moons simply amplify out emotions so that we are swept off track, forcing us to open up (angrily, etc) in order to be more open snd discuss situations. It serves it’s divine purpose. But if anyone is as sensitive to this full moon as I have been lately.. just wow!

The sign of Scorpio came about just at the time when we were going back into darkness (Greenwhich time zone) and we were about to settle into Autumn through to Winter.. for this reason some say Scorpio’s are comfortable with the heaviness of life, the natural cycle of death and rebirth which also makes them magnetic, intense, in tune with their sexuality, can be psychic and possessive. As a fixed sign Scorpio’s can certainly dig their heels at life’s situations, which they do often, but they certainly do that when it comes to emotional attachment.

Translated.. This full moon’s energy, which has also been referred to as a super pink moon, or super moon, when the moon is closest to the earth being 7% bigger and 15% brighter than a typical moon. The super moon started on the 26th April and still carries its energy forward for days regardless of its star sign change, will be affecting you in all of these ways, multiplied x10.. until we reach the next super moon in Sagittarius, the closest full moon of the year!.. change at last!! Also coinciding with a total lunar eclipse in some parts of the world. This lunar eclipse isn’t one to miss, when the earth casts it’s shadow on the moon, generating a reddish hue.. this phenomenon is also known as Blood Moon.

Geek interest.. where the Super pink moon we currently have has been 222,211.7 miles (357,615km) from the Earth at it’s apex, Greenwhich time, the Blood moon will be 222,116.6 miles (357,463km) from the Earth.

What this has to do with you..

Well, as a general, as it’s clear we are all affected differently based on our conglomeration of star signs when we were born, the Moon in Scorpio, as emotional a time as it has been and continues to be for us all, as I briefly mentioned above, serves a purpose. This full moon is all about intimacy and your inner life and emotions. It flushes out all our internal issues, all the needs, wants, fears and trauma and forces us to address them. It’s uncomfortable, for sure, even downright depressing causing sadness, anxiety & even pain in the most intense way possible. As Scorpio’s have a habit of never backing down and digging their heels in.. so is a Scorpio Full moon going to affect you and is one that isn’t easy to shy away from. The good news.. it’s not you. You aren’t loosing the plot it’s just the moon making a pit stop where we need to cleanse the most. If you were born in Scorpio, or know someone who was, has a rising or moon sign in Scorpio, you/they will be feeling this the most!

There is light at the end of the planetary tunnel.. the Blood moon in Sagittarius. This is all about freedom and adventure! ‘Funnily’ coinciding with the world opening up, at least here in the Uk, this super moon coming up challenges our boundaries to let loose, the very ones holding us back, snd bringing in that freshness and feel of a brand nee start. Lean into what feels adventuresome and that, for some, may mean pushing against the notion you cannot stop and you finally ready, recalibrate and take a guilt-free day off.

Once the anger is up and out from the current times we live in, it’s so important not to leave that pent up inside at the moment, during the energy of the full moon in Scorpio, the full moon in Sagittarius will bring in that much needed freshness that befalls long drawn confinement and inner work turned freedom at last!

Enjoy the hard work.. know you are nit alone in your emotions, hang in there.. things are bound to better times ahead.

Happy Fri-yay!

Love and Light☀️
