secrets rise to the surface. karmic threads tighten.

​

the week starts with a full moon in scorpio on monday at 22°12' marking a potent culmination point, charged by mercury square pluto (retrograde) and the sun approaching a conjunction with uranus.  this lunation can illuminate a breaking point or a breakthrough moment that solidifies things.  something long in motion now reaches a decisive turning point.  secrets rise to the surface, and karmic threads tighten around love, money and fate, asking for truth, choice and realignment.

​

this moon speaks the language of scorpio: alchemy, death and renewal.  it asks you to shed layers, to let go of what no longer serves and to do so with fierce emotional depth and honesty.  what is it that's ready to die because you've outgrown it and it just doesnt fit in your life anymore-  a pattern, a role you play, a routine?

 

mercury squaring pluto retrograde sharpens your mind's eye to see the unseen, to get beneath the surface - calling you inside to converse with your soul, while uranus jolts you into awakening.  uranus is the great disruptor here, unearthing dead weight and casting light on what's been hidden.  the pressure is on to determine what stays and what goes.  it's not about thinking it through.  it's about feeling into your soul truth.  listen deeply.

​

black moon lilith in scorpio conjoins monday's full moon, amplifying the raw, untamed power of this moment and its alchemical potential.  you may face a personal reckoning of an emotional nature. tides and emotional currents are high. something deep within asks to be confronted so you can claim your power and move forward. 

​

as we head into the weekend, the energy escalates. the sun conjoins uranus, mercury squares mars, jupiter squares the nodes and venus in aries finally leaves her retrograde shadow.  ok, so that's a lot and what does this mean? ... this is combustible energy!  potential for impatience, triggers, anger and sudden shifts are all in the mix.  karmic threads tighten around love, money and fate.  your words and actions carry weight.  choose them with consciousness.  the same currents that stir chaos can also spark bold clarity, decisive action and liberation.  volatility meets opportunity!  this marks the final sun-uranus conjuction in taurus, the 7th since 2019 - so expect a culminating awakening in your taurus-ruled house.  

​​

amidst the turbulence this week, remember to ground, slow down and return to your senses.  the medicine is embodiment.  breathe into your body.  taurus calls us back to the earth, back to what's real, steady and nourishing.

​​

as you navigate the metamorphosis of this full moon in scorpio week, remember that 2025 is a year of transition and completion - closing old chapters while you dip your toes into the new.  it's a year where we can expect significant, irreversible changes, key decision points, possibilities and even the potential for miracles.  trust that everything unfolding at this moment is a part of this process. both personal and collective opportunities are being offered to transmute the past and release what we can no longer carry into this new cycle.  understand there are no shortcuts.  the soul lessons and agreements that you still need to experience are revealing themselves.  for now, know you are standing on the threshold of a one-way bridge.  there is no turning back.  a chapter ends.  a door closes.  but something more authentic waits ahead.  destiny is in motion.  trust the unraveling.

astro tip:  look to the house and aspects where 20-27 degrees scorpio activate your birth chart for more info about important themes this full moon is activating.  this moon ties back to the scorpio new moon from 6 months ago, marking a turning point related to what you started back then.  additionally, it marks an illuminating moment in a narrative that began at the new moon solar eclipse at 20 degrees scorpio on november 13, 2023.  whatever you initiated then is coming to full bloom and what you need to know has been revealed.  time for a commitment or a shift in direction.
