Full Moon in Scorpio

Scorpio’s moon takes us into the second chakra, centre of sensuality and sexuality.  It’s no coincidence that this moon occurs at Beltane.  The earth is celebrating her vibrant, fertile creativity, and we are invited to celebrate that too.  As the earth brings forth her abundance of flowers – elderflower and hawthorn are coming into blossom now – what have you manifested in abundance this month?  What have you created that’s a cause for celebration?  The full moon is a time for celebrating the blossoming of the seeds you planted at the last new moon.  The Taurus new moon sowed the seeds of sensuality and fertility, inviting you into sensual embodiment, which were then energised by the Sun’s movement into the season of Beltane.  How have you manifested that potential up to now?  Full Moon in Scorpio is an invitation to dance, move your body, circle your hips and sway.  Has lockdown killed your sensuality?  Use this opportunity to reconnect with yourself through sensual touch, fragrant essential oils and a warm oil massage every morning.  

How Luna Rhythms Yoga can support you during this Scorpio Full Moon:

At Luna Rhythms, our unique system of yoga integrated with the lunar cycles and solar seasons teaches techniques from the ancient yogic practices of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha and mantra in alignment with the energies of the day, season and cycle.  This Full Moon in Scorpio is the perfect time to dive into your deepest desires…

If lockdown has you spending more time than usual sitting on a chair, now is the perfect time to sensualise your hips with some deep opening movement.  Sitting cross-legged with your hands on your knees, or standing with your hands on your hips, circle from your waist, changing directions and moving into figure-of-eights when this feels right for you.  This movement will energise your sacral chakra and encourage flexibility in your hips.  

How much can you slooooow this movement down?  Feeling in to every sensation.  Noticing where there is tightness and tension, where there is sensuality and expansion…  Opening your mouth and throat to chant the sacred vowel sound for this chakra, ‘oooooooo’, feeling the vibration moving through your body and down into your pelvis.  Reawakening.  

Now that you’ve opened up your hips and your voice, put on your favourite music and dance yourself into ecstasy.  Celebrate yourself as you dance.  This body that yearns for your touch, for your awareness, for your love.  What are the deep passions that are stirring within you?

Because Scorpio’s moon also invites you into the depths.  The deep emotions, passions and desires that lay hidden beneath the surface of everyday life, neglected and forgotten in the busy-ness of living.  Has lockdown given you an opportunity to dive deeper into your being?  To sit with what’s dormant in your roots?  Perhaps that energy is rising up your spine now and has reached your second chakra.  If so, it may be inviting you to dream into your lost and forgotten desires, to remember how it feels to be creative and passionate, sensual and alive.  

You may be feeling intense emotions at this time – that’s Scorpio too.  This could be a deep sadness or anger at unfulfilled dreams or desires, unmet passions and unrealised creative projects.  Or it could be the resurfacing of long-repressed and deeply held pain.  Can you feel in and breathe with these shadowy aspects of the Scorpio Full Moon?  Can you breathe and move – circling your hips and chanting ‘oooooo’ – as you feel into these depths?  And can you even celebrate these sensations, too?  

Give thanks that you have this opportunity to feel and witness what is moving within the depths of you.  Recognise those deeply held desires and move towards their manifestation.  Why not use this time-out-of-time to take positive steps towards your creative passions?  And if that feels impossible, just breathe as you feel the sensations and open your heart to what’s true for you right now.

Wherever you are and however you are feeling: feel.  Breathe.  And celebrate the abundance of this life.  Scorpio full moon invites you to use this vital energy to be really creative.  Explore your passions and dive into the dance of your body.

You are alive! Celebrate!

Blessed Be
