The Supermoon in Scorpio rises on April 26th. This luminary is in close proximity (perigee) to Earth, which makes the Moon appear larger and more robust. On an emotional level, we will feel the effects of the Full Moon on a greater scale because the Moon is nearer to the Earth’s atmosphere than usual. 

As with all Full Moons in Scorpio, emotions will be lit and transformation can occur if we release the past to start anew. We can expect to feel sentiments in a powerful and profound way. Mars, who is the traditional planetary ruler of the Scorpio Moon, is in Cancer. This places the Moon and Mars in mutual reception of each other, which gives these planets extra force. Don’t shy away from emotions. Own your feelings. Accept them. Express them. Pluto, who’s the modern ruler of the Scorpio Moon, will start its retrograde journey in Capricorn the following day on the 27th. This will give us time to reflect on the actions we want to take, before we proceed. 

The Supermoon aspects Mars (who’s in Cancer) and opposes Uranus (who’s in Taurus). Mars is a planet of action and Uranus is a planet who awakens our spirits. Therefore, this is a time when we’ll see matters very clearly. The caveat is knowing and understanding how to proceed once the truth is revealed to us. Moving onwards may take time, as we aren’t sure of the path to choose. Also, we’re creatures of comfort which makes it hard to simply leave the past behind. Hours after the Full Moon, austere Saturn comes in and limits our desire to grow. Knowing what needs to be changed and augmented is a great start, as well as making sure that we are walking down the best path for ourselves.

The fixed star Khambalia links up with the Scorpio Moon, while the fixed star Hamal conjuncts the Taurus Sun. Khambalia will add a deeper and intense  energy to this luminary. Hamal will make us feel as though others are conspiring against us (which they probably aren’t). The juxtaposition of these two stars will make us all very emotional and sensitive. Taking a moment to heal, cleanse, and refresh our energy is important to avoid passions (the good, the bad, and the ugly)  from consuming our hearts and minds. 

*The Super Full Moon in Scorpio occurs on April 26th at 8:31PM PST and 11:31PM EST.
