Full Moon Thursday!

Full Moon from space, Earth's luminous being on the left

Full Moon in Scorpio
April 25, 3:57 pm EDT

An update and correction: The DATE on my original post is correct but a paragraph lead said "Saturday's Full Moon" and the 25th is, of course, Thursday.

I corrected the original and added a comment, but that didn't send a message to my email and RSS subscribers. So, here the correction: the Full Moon is THURSDAY. (A big thank you to my reader who emailed, reminding me I needed an updated feed too.)

So here's an additional thought on the illuminating Moon soon to arrive: I'm returning from an intensive shamanic workshop with Betsy Bergstrom, who I found to be an amazing teacher, and shared with a wonderful circle. We spent a lot of time talking about power––no surprise in this lunar cycle, right?

To live the life we hope for, the fullest, juiciest, most wonderful life we can have, the meaningful life we're meant to have, we need to step into our power. We need to be what Betsy calls power-filled.

This is not about dominating, controlling, pushing or pulling. It's all about claiming our individual sovereignty. Each of us has a natural, inalienable right to be who we are in the world. We each have the right to shine.

This Full Moon in Scorpio, with Sun in Taurus and all the patterns already explored, is a wonderful time to tend our own light. Where are we standing in our own power and allowing others around us to stand in theirs? Where do boundaries need tending? Where can projections be withdrawn?

As this Full Moon approaches, may we see ourselves as the shining luminous beings we are, and see all other beings around us in the wonder and beauty of their luminosity.
