Hello, beautiful soul! It's almost full Moon, which means I'll be sharing some insights into the universal energy surrounding us. As the Full Moon approaches, I start writing this article and researching which specific full Moon phase we're in. While I'm not an astrologer and I don't track all celestial movements, I find astrology fascinating because I firmly believe that planetary positions profoundly impact us. I view astrology as part of our operation manual in this reality, along with numerology, quantum physics, alchemy, mathemetics, human design, and gene keys.
Upon discovering that the full Moon is in Scorpio, my initial reaction was "Ouchhh." Scorpio energy can sting, much like a real scorpion. It's not the most comforting energy to have around us. However, once you're aware of the intense energies present, you can better prepare yourself to harness their potential! Moreover, there is currently a potent Jupiter/Uranus conjunction that has the potential to significantly change your life if you allow this energy to flow.
By the way, I recently returned to Gili Trawangan after a two-week stay in Canggu, Bali. Despite only being there for a short time, it felt like three weeks to me. I picked up my last belongings that were still at the reception of the Guesthouse where I stayed, closing that chapter completely. I must say, I'm truly relieved! Canggu was incredibly busy, with the constant buzz of scooters, congested traffic, and dust from ongoing construction. It often felt overwhelming whenever I visited Canggu, and Bali in general, to be honest. I'm happy I found my perfect place in the world and I wouldn't be anywhere else than on this tiny tropical island with its serene atmosphere, bicycles, horses, and breathtaking oceans full with turtles and colorful fish. It's vibrantly alive, a little chaos sometimes around the harbor, but it feels really like me.
Okay, let's talk some Astro now!
Full Moon April 2024 in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus
As April 24th approaches, the Full Moon shines brightly in Scorpio, bringing a sudden wake-up call to our lives. It's like a gentle nudge to take a good look at things and make some changes. It encourages us to let go of what's holding us back and move towards a brighter future. It also reminds us to appreciate the people around us and to feel thankful for their support and encouragement, which helps us feel more connected to each other.
This Full Moon is intense and brings a lot of feelings, but it also offers a chance for growth and change. It's a time to trust your instincts and let go of trying to control everything. By doing this, you can experience some deep changes, even when things feel a bit chaotic.
While the moon is in Scorpio, directly opposite in Taurus sits the Sun. These two astrological signs oppose each other, potentially causing an inner conflict between emotion and reason. The Moon symbolizes the feminine, and the sun the masculine.
The effects of this full Moon can be intense, stirring up deep emotions, partly due to a tension aspect with Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio. With Pluto in Aquarius, you may find yourself inclined to rationalize your emotions rather than truly feeling them. This disconnect from your emotions can lead to added tension within yourself and in your relationships with others.
However, this Full Moon holds the potential to inspire you to delve into these deeply rooted emotions, fostering a transformation within yourself. This exploration may ignite an internal conflict between your emotions and intellect, prompting you to navigate the delicate balance between the two.
You may even find yourself momentarily in crisis, but rest assured, such moments often catalyze transformative effects. The lows in our lives always pave the way for brighter days ahead.
Besides that, I found out that there is a conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus that will last for 12 days with amazing energy that can literally propel you forward if you use it and step into your power. This energy started on the 16th of April and lasts until the 27th of April, peaking on the 20th of April, which is today. This only happens once in 12 years, so it's a significant celestial event. I'll delve deeper into that as well.
The Moon and its cycles
Let's repeat a bit of information about what a full Moon is and why the energies are each cycle different, just for you to understand it more deeply.
In Astrology, when the Sun is on one side, and the Moon is on the opposite side with Earth in between, we get a full Moon. The Moon reflects sunlight, making it look full to us. On the other hand, during a New Moon, the Sun, Moon, and Earth align differently. The Moon is positioned between the Sun and Earth, preventing it from reflecting light to us. The Moon is in shadow, and we can't see it at all.
As the Moon goes through its phases, it gets brighter. When it reaches the Full Moon, there are no shadows, and the Moon's brightness invites us to pay attention to what's happening.
Symbolically, the Sun represents spirit, the masculine, and the Moon represents our physical and emotional selves, the feminine. During a full Moon, it's time to be open, to bring the light and awareness of spirit into your emotional and physical body.
Illuminating things in your life
Energetically, the New Moon is a time of unconscious activity, in the dark shadows. By the Full Moon, your awareness rises, and you receive insights that have been approaching you. This happens as the Moon becomes full. This awareness can give you clarity and awe about what's happening in your life. The Full Moon is not just a one-day event; it lasts at least three days. Being in tune with the Moon during the full phase can be a practice of emotional mastery.
Some people feel more 'heavy' or triggered around this time. Try to be aware of what triggers you. Why is it triggering you? Most of the time it's not even the person itself, but the person is mirroring something that is going on deep inside of you. These feelings are way more significant around the time during the full Moon, because the full Moon is illuminating something that's deep inside of you and needs to be seen.
Why each full Moon is different
All full Moons share the same basics, but each feels different. This is because each lunar cycle happens with a different set of planetary forces. So, each Full Moon has its unique energy and therefore feeling. Therefore we experience different emotions, cycles, and events throughout our lives. Pay attention to the zodiac sign affecting the Moon and other planetary influences. It's fascinating how each placement of the Sun, Moon, and the planets relative to Earth has a different effect on us.
Intense emotional Scorpio vibes
The full Moon in Scorpio brings in an intense energy, as I mentioned earlier. Scorpio is a mysterious and emotional sign, known for its profound depth of feeling. Scorpios possess a powerful personality, often shielding their sensitivity by building walls around themselves for emotional security. However, when they don't feel safe, they can sting (just as real scorpions do) with their words or actions, which can be emotionally triggering for others. This defensive reaction stems from their instinct to protect themselves from perceived threats, and it can sometimes catch those around them off guard due to Scorpio's tendency to be blunt and direct when feeling triggered and unsafe.
They prefer to keep their innermost thoughts and feelings hidden, attempting to control their surroundings to prevent deep-seated fears from emerging and avoid potential hurt. These fears may include abandonment, commitment, illness, or death.
Once a Scorpio is wounded, they find it challenging to let go of the pain. They may respond with anger, rage, or even a desire for revenge. However, the influence of Scorpio offers an opportunity for profound transformation and spiritual growth. Additionally, themes such as sexuality, power, death, detective work, and the underworld are associated with this sign. Furthermore, Scorpios are renowned for their unwavering loyalty and determination, their adeptness in navigating complex emotions with insight and depth, and their magnetic charisma that captivates those around them.
Thoughtful Taurus vibes
Taurus, the constellation where the Sun is located at the moment, is an earth sign that provides a sense of security by maintaining financial stability and preserving the status quo. Taurus signs are thoughtful individuals who don't quickly embrace change.
They are also incredibly patient, but when pushed to their limit, they can unleash intense anger and have a destructive impact. They have a deep love for animals and nature and possess a creative spirit. Additionally, both Taurus and Scorpio share traits of possessiveness and jealousy.
Taurus energy signifies a grounded and stable approach to life. It encourages you to prioritize financial security and stability, and to appreciate the comforts of routine and familiarity. Taurus teaches the value of patience and perseverance, reminding you to remain steadfast in your pursuits even when faced with challenges. Furthermore, Taurus energy highlights the importance of nurturing your creative talents and connecting with nature to find solace and inspiration.
The celestial dance between the full Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus
With the Moon in Scorpio, intense emotions and profound transformations are on the horizon. Scorpio's mysterious and emotional nature encourages us to delve deep into our innermost feelings and confront any lingering issues that need resolution. It's a time for introspection, where we may find ourselves drawn to explore the depths of our psyche and confront any buried emotions or fears. However, we must proceed with caution, as Scorpio's energy can be intense and may bring to the surface feelings of vulnerability or unease.
Meanwhile, the Sun in Taurus offers a stabilizing influence, grounding us in the present moment and emphasizing the importance of security and stability. Taurus encourages us to take practical steps towards achieving our goals, focusing on building a solid foundation for the future. It's a time for tending to our physical needs and indulging in life's simple pleasures, whether that's spending time in nature, enjoying good food, or surrounding ourselves with comfort and luxury.
This celestial dance suggests a balancing act between embracing transformation and seeking stability. It's a month where you may feel pulled between Scorpio's urge for introspection and Taurus' desire for security. You will be encouraged to explore your emotions and confront any inner turmoil with courage and honesty, while also ensuring to take practical steps to maintain stability in your life. By embracing both energies, you have the opportunity to undergo profound personal growth while laying the groundwork for a more secure and fulfilling future.
A powerful conjunction on 20th of April 2024: Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus
On the 20th of April 2024, Jupiter and Uranus form a powerful alignment in the sign of Taurus in the cosmos. Which is a huge deal because Taurus is the tangible, the physical and the material, so there are some things that are now ready to finally come into our lives that have not been coming into our lives for a really long time perhaps.
This alignment brings a surge of energy that ignites our spirit of discovery, exploration, and innovation. The atmosphere is charged with excitement, embracing a futuristic and original vibe. We feel compelled to embrace progressive change, with a clear urge to update, refresh, and rejuvenate every aspect of our lives—whether it's ourselves, our projects, our circumstances, our connections and at the end, the sum of all; our reality. I'm very excited about this conjunction, and I'm about to tell you way more about it.
This energy plays out from the 16th of April to the 27th of April 2024. It's a 12-day window that is open due to this Jupiter and Uranus conjunction, which means that they are coming closer together, amplifying their energies. Both planets bring certain energies into your life and offer many opportunities for you. You can definitely take advantage of this energy if you are in the right mindset, attitude, and frequency for yourself and for your life, as it's going to propel you forward in a massive way.
This Jupiter and Uranus conjunction is an amazing powerhouse of an energy and I could definetely feel it on the 20th of April, which is today, without even knowing (yet) about this conjunction! I woke up early in the morning at 5am, tried to sleep a bit more but went out of bed around 5:30 and started reading about the full Moon. At 6:15 I brought away my laundry and at 6:30 I was in the gym for a full 1,5 hour intensive Legday. I felt energetic, happy, and so ready for the day! I was listening to my music while cycling to my favorite coffeebar and greeting everyone with a "Selamat Pagi" (Which means Goodmorning in Indonesian) and I thought wow, it's 8am, I did my workout already, and now I'm gonna have a good cappuccino and I'm exciting to greet the staff there. I felt so happy! After that I went back home, made my banana pancake while dancing on my favorite Afrobeats. I even texted my boyfriend that I felt soooooo happy and alive! Not knowing anything about this conjuction that would be fully on the 20th of April, so today. Hahaha. Crazy! The Universe keeps me surprising!
Okay, back to more information about what this powerhouse of energy can do for you! This Jupiter and Uranus conjunction can absolutely dissolve any fear inside of you and ask you to be the most authentic version of yourself! Because this conjunction is in the sign of Taurus, it's easier to make significant changes or updates to your physical life like never before! As mentioned above, Taurus is an Earth sign highly connected to money. It's the bull that we see depicted many times in the financial stock market. And don't forget about the crypto market, where they talk about the Bull-market when all the cryptos go up. ;-) (Everything is so connected).
These conjunctions are special because they don't happen that frequently. Most of the time, this occurs once every 12 years, so it won't happen for over a decade. Therefore, we have to take advantage of this energy and tap into this powerful version of ourselves, because this energy is going to support that.
The moment you accept yourself and your authenticity, and you're ready to step up in a huge way in your life, and you're ready and willing to make some changes, this energy will not only propel you forward but also catapult you forward!
Symbolism of Jupiter
Let's talk a bit more about Jupiter.
In astrology, Jupiter represents expansion, growth, abundance, and optimism. It is associated with themes of luck, fortune, and opportunity, as well as wisdom, knowledge, and higher learning. Jupiter encourages us to broaden our horizons, seek new experiences, and embrace life with a positive outlook. It governs areas such as travel, education, philosophy, spirituality, and religion. Jupiter's influence is expansive and generous, inspiring us to pursue our goals with confidence and enthusiasm. Additionally, Jupiter encourages us to be open-minded, tolerant, and inclusive, fostering a sense of connection with others and a belief in the inherent goodness of humanity.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and urges us to think bigger, outside of our tiny little boxes. Additionally, Jupiter symbolizes influence and authority, asking you to step into your own authority in your own unique ways that feel right and most aligned with you.
Jupiter loves to deliver gifts, so this is the time to receive something tangible, such as gifts of love, happiness, opportunities, and prosperity. Especially because Jupiter is in the sign of Taurus, it definitely has something to do with money and all kinds of expansion when it comes to finances. So it's certainly a time to receive material wealth; however, this only happens when we allow money to flow in. Jupiter asks us if we are ready for the material wealth that it wants to present to us. Are you ready to receive the material wealth you need to elevate your life?
At the same time, Jupiter wants us to pursue something we are passionate about. Because Jupiter thinks big, we must think big for ourselves. What lights you up? I always say to people: If your dreams don't scare you, you're not thinking big enough. (And I have a strong Jupiter influence in my natal chart, so that's probably why I always think big and never believe I can't achieve something, lucky me! ;-) )
So, again: in the next 7 days, think about what you are passionate about, and maybe that's something you've never considered before, because Jupiter is going to amplify that thought with a huge burst of energy! This means that it's a really good time to start something for yourself, like a new career path or a new hobby, especially considering Jupiter's connection to money, income, and ultimately wealth.
Furthermore, Jupiter acts as a reminder to always improve your skills and abilities in order to be the best. It encourages curiosity to propel you toward what you want to achieve and therefore encourages you to step out of your comfort zone. The frequency of joy attracts money. That's why it's so important to do things you love, to pursue your passions, because joy brings in the money. And Jupiter really wants you to realize this.
Be fearlessly authentic. Bravely be you!
Jupiter also encourages self-improvement and trauma healing. Let go of your victim mentality because time is not linear; the past, present, and future are all happening simultaneously. So in the present, you can release wounds from the 'past' that are still hindering you now, thus rewriting your past. We cannot fully express ourselves if we are still affected by childhood traumas and are thus living in the energy of the past, in the present. Utilize Jupiter's energy to release any negative energy and reclaim your whole self, starting to embody your authentic self. Because when you live authentically, you resonate on your unique frequency, where you operate from ease, love, and joy, thereby making it easier to attract—or rather, align with—what you desire. The moment you move away from the fight-or-flight mechanism is when you begin to thrive and truly create.
This energy is a breakthrough energy you can literally experience overnight.
Keep in mind that the actions you are taking right now will play out over the next 12 years! That's a long time! Imagine living your passion for the next 12 years and beyond, where you can continue evolving and expanding!
Symbolism of Uranus
In astrology, Uranus represents themes of innovation, originality, rebellion, and unpredictability. It is associated with sudden changes, breakthroughs, and advancements, as well as individuality, freedom, and unconventional thinking. Uranus governs technology, science, and progressive movements, inspiring us to embrace new ideas and challenge the status quo. It also rules over areas of life where we seek independence and liberation from restrictions. Additionally, Uranus is linked to unexpected events, revolutions, and awakenings that shake up established structures and push us toward evolution and growth.
Uranus in this conjunction together with Jupiter will pinpoint that opportunities and expension can be find through technological innovations that uses a bit of a rebbelion spirit. And all this happens in the sign of Taurus, which stands for the physical, material world.
So Uranus invites you to use your rebellion energy when you think about what you don't like to see in the world right now. What feels not good for you in your life right now? Rebellion has a bit of a negative load on it but it doesn't mean going against everything you don't like. Rebellion has this strong compassionate energy that you can use to stand up for yourself.
Uranus hates rules. It's eager to facilitate groundbreaking dynamic change. Uranus doesn't want to follow; it wants to do things its own way. And this energy can be harnessed to step into your power and take back control in alignment with yourself. Besides that, Uranus stands for releasing all fears and stepping fully and wholeheartedly into your passions and following your dreams.
Uranus delivers surprises, shocks, and sudden unpredictable changes. This means that as you embark on a passion project in the coming days, you may encounter unexpected surprises. It could be that the people around you offer unexpected support, exceeding your initial expectations. Your expectations may be completely overturned. Therefore, it's essential to expect the unexpected!
These changes can feel uncomfortable, but try not to focus on the fear or discomfort of the change, but instead start focusing on how these changes can improve your life and what they are trying to teach you. Be grateful for your courage and willingness to step out of your comfort zone and be ready for your own transformation!
Whatever you invest in yourself at this time right now, you're going to get it back! It's going to unfold in front of your eyes because that's how the Universe works. DO YOU!
My own experience during this full Moon
While I never mind sharing my personal experience during the full Moon, I don't really know what to share right now. Not that I don't want to share it with you guys, but I don't know it myself yet. I do feel I really, really, realllllly like my solitude. I love being alone, I always like that, but maybe a bit more than other days. But besides that, I do feel really calm. I just like my alone time because I love to be with myself. I'm my own best friend!
