Full Moon in Scorpio
Our Security Blankets are Being Ripped Away
We’re perched between the slow‑and‑steady comfort of Taurus and the scorpion‑sting truth serum of Scorpio. In a recent client call I caught myself saying that our security blanket is being yanked out from under us—and judging by the collective mood, that image feels spot‑on.
The Sky’s Big Setup
Right now Neptune has just slipped into early Aries after fourteen years in Pisces, and Saturn is only weeks away from meeting it there. Neptune is the planet that shows us where we’ve been fooling ourselves, quietly eroding any false sense of identity. When Neptune is prominent, we find ourselves questioning what we thought was true. Saturn, the cosmic accountability partner, follows behind to set the consequences.
When they finally merge in late June, the question won’t be What is real? but How do you live with what’s real?
Because the conjunction takes place in Aries, we’ll be forced to examine our impulses. Aries loves decisive action, yet it can just as easily tip into recklessness and irresponsibility. Over the next few months the tension between decisive and impulsive will decide whether Neptune–Saturn feels like a liberation or a smack‑down.
Why This Scorpio Full Moon Matters
Scorpio doesn’t dabble; it excavates. This full moon digs up the things we still cling to—habits, identities, even relationships—that no longer support who we’re becoming.
The south node in Virgo adds another layer. It asks why we stay parked on a ripped blanket instead of standing up. If your first answer is security, dig deeper—security is often just a story we tell to avoid change.
Themes to Watch
Letting the Thread Go If you notice yourself white‑knuckling anything this week, that’s the very thing the moon is inviting you to release.
Decisive vs. Impulsive Before taking action, pause for five breaths and ask: Am I clear, or am I reacting? A two‑minute delay can save months (or years) of cleanup.
Consequences & Accountability Saturn doesn’t punish; it mirrors. Any fallout that surfaces is feedback—use it.
Question the Kool‑Aid I’ve joked recently about “Saturn‑Neptune cocktails” like certain quick‑fix spiritual practices that promise freedom without integrity. If a technique helps you bypass reality, it’s on shaky ground.
Don't get high. Get Real.
Practices for the Cycle Ahead
Name the Fear: Write the worst‑case scenario if you let go of your blanket. Read it aloud and note how your body responds.
I was recently called in by my wife for not being present with the family at times, getting sucked into my phone - Youtube mostly. When I processed it with my men’s circle, I was able to follow the thread and answer the question, “Why do I believe that I need YouTube on my phone?” It became clear that I was responding to a fear of “missing something”. I laughed as if I could be so fortunate to avoid distraction and actually miss something in today’s world. That clarity made the decision to remove the app from my phone immediately very easy.
Slow the Spark: When an impulse hits, breathe and think before acting. Notice what this impulse is grasping, and question if the assumptions which inform the impulse are true.
Reality Audit: List three core beliefs and design small experiments to test them this week.
This is probably the edgiest one for most. We tend to frame our beliefs through an existential lens. We don’t think of them as beliefs, we think of them as Truth. I listened to a podcast recently that has forced me to to confront some of my beliefs about parenting, whether or not the rules I have in place are necessary, and what would happen if we relaxed them. That’s the thing though: until we try relaxing them, we won’t know what will happen.
Parting Thoughts
“Question everything you think you know.” Astrology can’t erase chaos, but it can translate it. As the Scorpio moon pours light into every crack, clarity might sting—but it will also set us free.
