Scorpio Full Moon

“No fish in the bag” – The Mayday Scorpio Full Moon illuminates the deep chasm between the world’s elites and those who are most resource-constrained on a Tower vibration day that exposes hidden truths as unstable structures crumble.

The Tarot Majors associated with this Full Moon include Death (Scorpio), The Tower and Judgement (Mars and Pluto co-rules Scorpio), The Hierophant (Taurus), The Empress (Venus rules Taurus), The Sun (Sun rules Scorpio’s 2nd decan), and The High Priestess (The Moon rules Taurus’ 2nd decan), putting the luminaries in mutual reception (by decan dignity). The decans also hold the steady, patient and kind-hearted Knights of Pentacles/Cups and the charitable and nostalgic 6s of Pentacles/Cups. Together, the Tarot speaks to the necessary reversal of structures meant to wield power over in favor of those meant to lift up our most vulnerable.

The Sun sits in the Application Sabian expression in Scorpio 12 (An embassy ball), while the Moon occupies the Humility expression in Taurus 12 (Window shoppers). Themes of political machinations, diplomatic standoffs and elitism are juxtaposed against the feelings that everyday material desires of common people are out of reach.

The I Ching activations are in the 4th lines of Hexagram 44 (Coming to Meet) and Hexagram 24 (Returning) which also evoke themes of economic hardship, political upheavals, feeling alone in the fight, and scarcity. According the @bellwen, Hex 44.4 translates to “No fish in the bag” and can relate, in a political context, to “a monarch who has lost the support of the people.” The personal advice of 44.4 and 24.4 is to show restraint, and resist the urge to materially compare yourself to others.

While this Full Moon in Scorpio may have us deep in our feels about the “haves” and “have nots”, it’s an opportunity to deepen our connection to our inner worth.
