The full Moon 🌕 is in the sign of Scorpio ♏️

The Scorpio energy is that of death, transformation, rebirth, sexuality, soul mates, passion, desires & self-mastery.
Scorpio is the master alchemist & healer.
So we can dive into our subconscious & heal wounds.

Scorpio is a Water 💦 sign. It’s motto is “I desire”.
Scorpio is associated with the reproductive system & organs of elimination. Also the Sacral Chakra is our sexual, emotional & creativity energy centre.

As its an eclipse I personally don’t charge crystals or write what to release. I just tune into the energy & my intuition & let go & allow spirit, the divine, the universe to lead. The effects are 6 months of the eclipse.

However grounding practices & being in nature as well as cleansing with salt, smudging with sage & doing yoga & meditation are definitely recommended 😀

Spring is a triple movement from darkness into light. After the Winter Solstice light begins to win. The first stirrings of spring happens at Imbolc as the snowdrops emerge & now we arrive at high spring as the daffodils emerge. The Mother Goddess becomes enlivened after her deep winter slumber. The Equinox marks equal day & night.

It is a time to clear out any stagnant energy & anything that hinders our movement forward. Restore, reset, ground & balance.
Its a great time to declutter all aspects of our lives & items that no longer serve us.

After Spring Equinox the increasing light brings hope, vital force energy, abundance & fertility. Symbolised by the sun, hare, egg & bounty of flowers.

Reflect on your life now. What is working? What needs to be left behind? So you can move forward more easily birth new projects, ways of being, what activities resonate with you now as the days light increases & our energy levels soar once again.
