\"ouroboros\"Love always involves a dance between closeness and putting up walls. We love each other, hurt, annoy and frustrate each other. Lately I’ve been doing the latter, tainting the precious time we have together with emotional jujitsu. I feel irrational when he talks too long and laughs too hard with the wait staff on date night, so I pick a fight goes something like \u201cI\u2019m not enough for you?\u201d though as I am saying this I know I\u2019m being dishonest. Those aren’t my true feelings, but an excuse for a clingy-ness I don’t yet understand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then one day I remember to look at my transits (just as \u201cthe cobbler\u2019s children have no shoes”, I often forget). A-ha! Saturn is trine my Venus. Our pair-bond is maturing.\u00a0I think about how slowly the kids have left for college – our youngest will go this fall, we don\u2019t have a full house anymore and it seems, almost imperceptibly, we\u2019ve each started to fill that empty space. I\u2019m nestling into my domestic haven, pets, spiritual work; he\u2019s surfing and socialising. He is visiting Inca ruins in Peru; I\u2019d rather be meditating. I can see this bothers us both. We each want the other to be doing what it is we’re doing. We both want closeness and our freedom.<\/p>\n

Saturn is the crystallized structure of habits and patterns we’ve developed, a garden container, Venus, the intertwined roots of our partnership. \u201cWe\u201d are ready for more space. We’ve outgrown our Saturn pot.\u00a0The truth is, I don\u2019t want certain things to change.<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0As having kids around will do, we\u2019d cultivated our relationship patterns and pleasures around domestic life, making family meals together, and stealing non-kid time for the joys of togetherness. I didn’t like having to steal time but I enjoy domestic life: cooking family meals, our weekend plans revolving around the house. I have Venus in Cancer. I also want freedom for everyone (me, too) to do whatever the heck they please (Venus square Uranus in Libra). It\u2019s a conundrum and as Saturn shifts the biological timeline of life, our connection, our shared pleasures must mature, too.<\/p>\n

Even during robust Taurus Sun springtime season, we must face the reality of change. This Scorpio Full Moon wants us to face the things we don\u2019t want to face, connect with our strong emotions, and to honestly communicate what we feel. The terrain is our most intimate relationships, the people we most care about…hence the difficult emotions. Scorpio Moon\u2019s shadow is moody self-absorption and self-isolation, i.e., what you feel when your emotions are so intensely charged with old wounds, insecurities, perceived threats and abandonment fears that you lash out or hole up.\u00a0And then: what if the honesty required is too painful to admit, even to ourselves?\u00a0With Venus in Aries now square Pluto, the distancing strategies we’ve been using to avoid addressing real topics have grown stale.<\/b>\u00a0We need to reveal more of our humanness, our vulnerable, naked feelings to partners, to our self.\u00a0We need to stop hiding the truth of our humanness, our pain, our raw hurt and fear, behind drama and avoidance.<\/b><\/p>\n

Saturn is joined with the Moon at this Full Moon. \u00a0Maybe, like me, you have outgrown a stable “the way things have always been” pot in your life. Maybe you can, with awareness, transplant what\u2019s alive and salvageable into a new container and avert bigger, darker issues down the road…or maybe the pot will not so delicately splinter and breaks wide open so Spirit can grow.\u00a0Liberating\u00a0<\/strong>Uranus is joined Venus: the bonds of connections and pleasure need to be refreshed, renewed and revitalized.<\/b>\u00a0People need to be valued, relationships need to be restored, pleasures redefined. To Uranus, it really doesn’t matter how this happens, but that it does.<\/p>\n

The gift of this Scorpio Full Moon is an ability to honestly see the truth of our reality and act on that insight.<\/strong>\u00a0When we feel and communicate the personal and interpersonal fears that have been holding us back, we\u2019re freed up to more fully live, and enjoy each other. Brooding gives way to the awe-ful, sometimes tragic, always deeply moving dance of life, death, change. \u00a0Dark moodiness releases into the deep gratitude we have for life, and those we love.\u00a0As we restore emotional integrity to our vital bonds, we’re free to enjoy the beauty in life.<\/p>\n
