Sacred Union Beyond Beltane
Full Moon In Scorpio May 1 2015 Shamanic Weather
From Flirty Queen (Venus in Gemini) to Magnanimous King (Jupiter in Leo), all members of the Royal Court participate in fanfare and naughty hijinks in celebration of the merry holiday of Beltane. Yet beneath the costumes and play acting a deeper thrum of potential rumbles like thunder in the distance. We play now, ready to get to work when the intensity of the Full Moon in Scorpio peaks Sunday night.
SPECIAL EXCERPT FROM CAFEASTROLOGY.COM
The Taurus-Scorpio polarity deals with the balance between all that is mine (Taurus) and all that is yours (Scorpio). It also emphasizes the concept of form (Taurus) versus transformation (Scorpio). While Taurus deals with matter, personal values, material goods, possessions, and security, Scorpio rules the destruction of form, shared possessions, change, and transformation. The Sun in Taurus wants us to be happy with the simple, tangible things in life, while the Scorpio Moon draws our attention to complexities, intangibles, and mysteries. Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.
This Full Moon is about emotional declarations. Something has been building inside of us, likely of an intimate nature, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this declaration means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict between collecting and sharing.

DIVINE FEMININE
Freyja, the Goddess of Beauty, is in her Power! The number four card in the traditional Tarot is the Emperor; how fitting that in the Goddess Tarot it should be Frejya. In Norse mythology there were two groupings of Gods and Goddesses; the peaceful Vanir and combative Aesir. Freyja, the Vanir Goddess of Beauty, became the ultimate envoy of diplomacy by agreeing to join with the Aesir. The Divine Feminine in conjunction with the Divine Masculine births new ways of being; Freyja’s choice ended war and began cooperation between the tribes. Whether the conflict is within ourselves or with others, openness to change allows creative solutions and true power to unfold.
DIVINE MASCULINE
…And a New Day Dawns! The masculine as a mighty Dragon shows you where your treasures are hidden and, with your permission, opens the way to them. A creature of transmutation and alchemy, the Dragon as the Divine Masculine takes the raw energy of the Divine Feminine and exalts her, soaring high, and grounds her, helping her land, and with her manifests the new creative form. It’s a wild ride, and we are invited to take it from Beltane through the Full Moon in Scorpio!
SPIRIT MEETS EARTH
The power of the 13th Moon serves as the mystical catalyst to our own evolution. The Blue Moon card puts us on notice that we can be awed by our own power – don’t shrink away from your own light! This is the time to own your visions and dreams, allow you inner teacher (Wolf Medicine is Teacher!) to speak your truth, accept mastery of your life! The powerful creation energies unleashed this weekend are yours to mold as you will – what will you do with them? How can you translate the potential into reality? Begin with intention, ask for direction (from within, from trusted sources, from Spirit), and take off into your destiny.
Prayer
As I move more fully into my own power I open my heart to the recognition I deserve. I thank Great Spirit and all those who have helped me along the way. I am ready to be the mater and to fully accept abundance in my life.
(from Spirit of the Wheel by Linda Ewashina, illustrated by Jody Bergsma – http://www.bergsma.com/spirit-of-the-wheel-meditation-deck-pr-3040.html)
With so much energy moving from the superficial to the deepest levels the loudest message I receive from the guides about all of this is don’t take it too seriously. What? Yes, although we have incredible opportunities to make major choices and changes this weekend, we have to remember that in the continuum, that everything always changes, stability is an illusion, and the point of all of this is to find the grace, joy and humor in life.
Some of the most poignant moments are a mixture of sober reality and wry observation.
Make every effort to laugh often and deeply, share the medicine of Coyote antics and explore this life journey from the heart and eyes of the innocent.
Make this a weekend to Roar about!
Namaste ~ Mara
