Wesak Moon Blessings,
dear Reader in the Astro ComMOONity!
She’s coming….!
The upcoming Full Moon is one of the most potent FMs of 2024!
She invites us to connect with Her attributes in all these ways:
* SCO Full Moon where the Moon is most challenged / ‘in Fall’ –
SO many sticky / deep / hidden emotions and power issues are hanging around now – to be processed, and released.
* PLUTO, ruler of SCO(!), freshly in AQ, will be in T-square(!) w. the Full Moon axis (see chart below) – the SCO FM brings out the ‘PLUTO Effects’.
And: PLUTO is about to go retro (May 2 – Oct 11).
Helping us find Inner Soul Power to Change.
* JUPITER / URANUS Alignment
The SUN in early TAU catalyzes the epic Apr 20 alignment of JUPITER & URANUS (ruler of AQ where PLUTO is freshly in) – which is prone to bring breakthroughs into Waking up to Truth, Joy & Freedom.
The alignment will be activated again with the TAU New Moon on May 7.
The SUN will meet URANUS & JUPITER on May 13 / 18.
What a surprise-surprise TAU Season (which can be upsetting / unsettling and / or joyful & liberating)!
* She’s the Astrological Wesak (or: Vesak) Moon of the Buddha.
Wesak is one of the most important festivals in Buddhist cultures, celebrated at the Full Moon in May.
Why then do I attribute THIS Full Moon to Wesak already???
The special chapter about the astrological Wesak Moon at the end of this article is dedicated to that.
* She’s the 2nd of the 3 Spring Full Moons – in the Esoteric Tradition:
Festival of the Risen Christ – pre-Easter Full Moon (this year PLE on March 25)
Festival of the Buddha / Wesak Moon – this Full Moon (Apr 23)
Festival of Humanity (this year on May 23)
The following – Solstice – Full Moon will be on June 21 –
Day ONE of Summer 2024!
* The April Full Moon is most well-known as the Pink Moon.

April is THE Month of 2024
What a Time we live in!
Change is the only certain – has always been…
And nowadays ever more ‘in our face’.
Things seem so out of control…
Essential theme this April / May:
How can we be empowered and liberated, in and through this challenging & changeful Time?
The Full Moon of the Buddha can help us with this.
April is the most powerful month of the year – with the themes rolled out in May (esp. on the TAU & PLUTO ‘fronts’).
Let’s be easy and gentle, in the depth & intensity of it all, nurture & nourish ourselves through what’s being revealed, and allow old sticky attachment / resistance issues & emotional pain points to move, and be set / set us FREE!
Feeling the Lunar Infusion Effects in You?
All about Power & Depth, Joy & Freedom
The growing Full MOON in SCO will be exact on Apr 23 at 4:49 pm PDT.
Such an intense polarity of the MOON in her deepest – yet most potent – position of SCO!
Facing LOTS of planetary action in the cosmic energy field on the opposite side (of the Earth), from mid-PISCES (w. SCO undertone) to mid- / end of TAU.
See below, in the Birth-ing chart!
Esp. if you have Astro features in early SCO, TAU, LEO, and AQ you’d feel the tension & pressure of the FM ‘fixity’.
This Full Moon evokes Transformation of the Old & ‘Sticky’ –
And Regeneration of Creativity, Freedom, and Self-Radiance.
* Don’t hide in the dark (and notice what in you takes you there…)!
* Re-connect with inner Magic, Essence, Soul Power!
* Live Life magically again!
* See through manipulation, power trips, ‘psychology’, and other (inner & relational) tricks! MERCURY currently retro helps with this too.
* Awaken into your organic-creative strength, freedom, joy, and radiance (JUPITER & URANUS united in TAU)!
* Be in consciously emBodied Freedom!
The SCO MOON also brings out the shadow cast on the powerful Lunar / Yin / Feminine – to keep Her rather ‘in the dark’ & oppressed.
To clarify, I’m not talking generically about men and / vs. women, nor joining a gender identity debate here, but about the Inner Feminine IN all Beings.
We (men, women, children) are invited to reconnect with our natural intrinsic & instinctive organic power!
Our intrinsic Power brings Joy & Freedom (SCO – TAU).
And when we’re in Joy & Freedom we sense our Power.
A super charged & super charging & super changing Full Moon:
* SO much has come to fruition & harvest that’s now ripe for birthing!
* SO much release of darkness, stuckness, disempowered situations!
* SO much birthing out of the Old Matrix where fear & control rule, and into the New & yet unknown World.
Rather than dwelling on stuff / getting sucked into the ‘dark zone’, it’s better to do ‘interventions’ & experiments, by shifting habits, and getting out of the uncomfortable ‘comfort zone’.
What brings you more embodied Joy & Freedom???
JUPITER & URANUS in TAU, opp. the FM help with this.
TAURUS Themes are strong now
Fixed, earthy (first Earth sign!) TAURUS (ruled by VENUS) is all about embodiment, enjoyment of Life-on-Earth, sensuality, food, assimilation, and gathering of value.
A substance building energy.
Immersed in the realm of TAURUS, like in the full bloom of Spring, we celebrate the physical senses, comfort & pleasure, everything that creates security and grounding, and grows over time.
Taurean energy takes roots, builds, cultivates, and conserves, like a gardener, farmer, and good custodian of the Earth.
TAU likes to attract what’s pleasant, to experience it via the senses, to eat, assimilate, gather & accumulate, to settle and to claim ownership & territory.
TAU slows down, after the fast and furious ARIES energy, and favours predictability and patience; therefore habits & routines are formed.
The Taurean orientation is very life affirming, yet can obviously lead to attachment to the known and comfortable, to the material side of things, and worldly plane in general, and to physical satisfaction, yet also hoarding, and greed.
TAU has a strong resistance to change and to pain.
Presently, there’s a LOT going on in TAURUS, via:
URANUS (since 2018 /19), JUPITER (May 16, 2023 – May 25, 2024), the SUN (seasonally, Apr 19 – May 20), and also soon VENUS (Apr 29 – May 23).
What a TAUREAN energy field – polarized by the SCO Full Moon!
An atmosphere that invites us to be calm, conscious, and creative, and wake up to Being Here – on this Earth, in this Life, in this beautiful season of Spring – while being free & unattached from material ‘comfort traps’ and ‘convenience hooks’.
URANUS the shaker-upper / waker-upper, these years (2018/19 – 2026) in TAU has been pointing to disruption of Nature & biology, of the economy & monetary system, of the comfortable, habitual consumer culture, and of our organic ways of being in physical contact w. each other.
Yet, URANUS helps us also to awaken from ‘convenience’ (incl. ‘convenient paradigms’) and to be more unconditionally free.
URANUS got a big boost from JUPITER – exact on Apr 20 – which feeds into the Full Moon energy. JUPITER is now ahead of URANUS.
Breakthroughs into emBodied Joy, Truth, and Freedom!
Now we can understanding (JU) the erratic / disruptive / crazy BS energy – around us, in us, in the world (UR in TAU) – and can be free (UR). Unless we’re still stuck in indulging in it (SCO – TAU), lol.
PLUTO freshly in AQ, squared by the SUN in TAU (exact on Apr 21):
Let’s not get used to new ‘normalized AI’ / transhumanism take-over. We Humans are organic, nature-ALL Earth Beings (TAU).
TAURUS & the Heart Torus
In 2020 / 21, I was wondering how the ‘6 ft apart’ physical (TAU) tactile ‘free’ distance affects our auric / Heart Chakra energy exchanges with each other. I mean, it was pretty palpable.
The graphic from the Heart Math Institute to the left shows the electromagnetic (URANUS) energy field of the Heart – which extends as a ‘doughnut like’ Torus shape (not to be mixed up with TAURUS – but hey, maybe there IS a connection…) – about 5-6 ft around a human being.
Let’s keep emitting Heart Energy!
May our Heart Toruses expand and connect!
And may Heart Intelligence move us through all the predicaments that present themselves currently.
Consider yourself Heart Hugged!
SCO (ruled by PLUTO) carries Transformation Medicine
The ‘fixed’ / still / deep water sign SCO (related to lakes and ponds) in contrast to the ‘above ground’ green & growing Taurean world, takes us into emotionally intense, at first ‘ugly’, uncomfortable, and painful places in the ‘muck’ of the subconscious where hidden, and often covered or repressed emotional material – and treasures – sit.
Just as the leaves rot and go beneath the earth in late Oct – late Nov, the Scorpionic energy takes us to the ‘grand mystery’ of death & rebirth, and to processes that have nowhere to go but down & through, for alchemy to happen.
TAU – SCO also represent the pleasure – pain, and life – death axis.
SCO penetrates the underground / underworld / underbelly, which can be a painful process. This is where transformational ‘digestion’ of what’s already dead happens, so that it can be purged and eliminated.
Our very ‘human humus’ and shadow can’t be just ‘gotten rid of,’ or ‘hidden away’. It needs to be processed to become a composting ‘fertilizer’ for renewal – the Alchemy of Life.
SCORPIO is for the MOON the most ‘challenging’ sign.
While LUNA is considered ‘exalted’ in TAU, it’s trad. ‘in Fall’ in SCO – since:
The MOON represents emotions, our instinctual mind (in a broad sense: body-mind, feeling-mind), and our needs and habits which by nature long for nourishment and sustenance.
Taurean energy provides such sustaining delivery & assimilation – intake through feeding & reliable presence…
Whereas SCO represents necessary detoxifying elimination, often through painful processess.
That’s not what the Lunar side (representing also our Inner Child) is most comfortable with… deep & difficult emotions come up.
Moonlight on Lake Ontario – photo by Diego T. Silvestre
Under a SCO MOON (whether we’re born with it, have it by astrological Progression for 2½ years every 29 years, or whether the MOON in SCO for 2½ days per month affects us), we’re instinctively sensitized towards the need to purge what’s toxic & outlived, what controls us, and doesn’t allow us to be free, in a deeper sense.
The process calls us to go into the ‘mouth of the monster’ and through its bowels even, while our head and ego might severely protest and resist.
SCO MOON experiences can lead us to the deepest abyss of our inner worlds, yet are an opportunity to take us through it, and be regenerated and transformed through the process.
Not ‘comfortable’ or ‘easy’ but so spiritually rewarding, and blessed by the Wesak Moon.
URANIAN Intervention / Shocks, Innovation / Revelation / Liberation
A LOT can shift and move quite suddenly and surprisingly, via the JUPITERian / URANian involvement.
Wake-up calls from Mother Earth are striking.
URANUS & JUPITER in TAU: Wake up to being an emBodiment of Nature, live life joyously, and in accordance with the Earth and our Earth Body.
Let’s contribute joy, blessings, calm, groundedness into the ‘electrified’ energy field, and: ground the Light.
Freedom comes in so many ways.
Let’s get out of our habitual comfort zone, and cut the energetic umbilical chord to an old outdated and exhausted model.
Balance is a key theme for the Full Moon opposition.
A FM is the ‘Mother of Oppositions’, calling for Balance, Integration, and Right Relationship.
Plus, PLUTO in early AQ which T-squares the Full Moon axis has a LIBRA undertone – evoking social fairness and justice, for ALL of Humanity.
What’s in that regard with the war in / on Gaza, going on for 6 months(!)?
All Humans matter equally (PLUTO in early AQ – with LIBRA undertone).
The end (is it still about Hamas?) doesn’t justify the means and its ‘side effects’ – of killing 30000 innocent Palestinians, incl. children.
The issue about territorial occupation (TAU) in the ‘background’ (SCO) has been brought to the attention of Humanity.
Shadow expressions of SCO are manipulation, emotional control, secrecy, violating privacy, schemes & power games, destructiveness, black magic, self-defeating psychology – brought up by the Full Moon.
In connection with PLUTO the Ruler of SCO squaring the FM from early AQ it’s about society, humanity & technological systems.
The modern state of Israel has its SUN and NN in TAU, and its SN in SCO.
See the Israel chart in the ‘Ring of Fire’ Solar Eclipse of Oct 14 (just 1 week after the Hamas attack) and my take on it, in this blog article.
Scorpionic Kali Moon Goddess / Death Doula
Kali Ma – artist unknown
…holds space for it all to transform, and come through.
It’s been said that we’re currently in the Kali Yuga – the World Age of Darkness, Discord & Conflicts (in a way the ‘devolution of humanity’).
May Kali help us call out and transform what’s been present for so long.
Hopefully, we can SEE the Moon Goddess Her in all Her glory (suspense-suspense, and no attachments, ha-ha)!
We sure FEEL Her already… and will even more so, once She’ll enter SCO (on Tue morning 8:20 am PDT).
So much emotional intensity is UP these days – culminating with the SCO – TAU FM on Apr 23.
The tides are high.
Things come to a culmination / fruition (think: Full Moon – Harvest Moon, Full Birthing Belly), to be revealed, transformed and released.
Spiritually, the Buddha Moon supports it all (more about this below)…
Why is PLUTO so relevant now?
PLUTO rules SCO.
And T-squares the SCO – TAU FM axis.
The FM energy can find an outlet via PLUTO, and vice versa.
PLUTO, now in early AQ, turns from direct-forward from Earth perspective to retro on May 2, hence is a stationary focus end of Apr to early May – calling us:
* Not to give power away to ‘the System’
* To not hide out with our Power / keep it hidden from ourselves.
* To regenerate, find empowered Soul Integrity from within, and walk with / in it – while being in empowered / empowering community.
Birth Chart of the SCO-TAU Full Moon
The Full Moon will be exact at 4:49 pm PDT on Apr 23.
A lot about the energy field has been already presented above.
Here are other factors that struck me – and you can see in the chart:
Again, the strong concentration of energies between mid-PISCES (w. SCO undertone), via SATURN, and mid- to end of TAU, via JUPITER / URANUS – freshly aligned (Apr 20).
All of that catalyzed through the SCO – TAU FM.
PLUTO, ruler of SCO, now stationary (going retro on May 2) in early AQ, in T-square w. the FM axis, is the ‘singleton’ (only Planet) in the AIR Element. Reason & objectivity isn’t easy to come by, these days.
The Future of Humanity (AQ) appears either utopian or dystopian – if we give power away to ‘the System’ (AQ). PLUTO brings up extremes, to show where the shadow lays and what change needs to happen.
Evolution needs to come through Humanity.
More AIR-y lightness & brightness coming in, via JUPITER entering GEM(!), on May 25 – and of course GEMINI Season (SUN, MERCURY, VENUS), end of May to Summer Solstice.
The PISCEAN influx / inundation will fade once MARS has passed NEPTUNE (overwhelming energies? feeling like giving up, or checking out?) on Apr 28, and moves into His own heroic sign of ARIES, on Apr 30.
Much needed vitality and zest kicks in from May on.
In the meantime, SO much is going on in ARIES (where MARS is ‘at home’):
MERCURY is now retro (Apr 1 – 25), in ARIES: Back to the Beginnings.
So much as been re-vealed, via information, conversations, ‘in your face’ news – about the ‘early phases’ of… (you name it).
Although, it could have re-wounded / re-traumatized it can also contribute to healing (MERCURY in AR touches CHIRON 3 times in this phase, pre-, during, and post-retro).
The TAURUS ruler VENUS is currently in ARIES too, close to MERCURY retro, the NN, and CHIRON.
Doing what we love, and what healthy self love would do is healing.
As well as being brave / authentic / fierce, and taking initiative, whether in writing, or communicating otherwise – esp. related to themes of love / what we love.
On Apr 29, day before the Martian move, VENUS, currently the ‘belligerent bellezza’ in ARIES (attracted to too many battles?), will settle into Her joyful domain’ of TAU (where She’ll dwell until May 23) –
Enticing us to enJoy the Beauty of Spring, and of Life.
The transformational SCO Full Moon will ‘escort’ MARS & VENUS out of these ‘problematic’ into more ‘natural’ expressions.
TAURUS – where the big draw is now – features the JUPITER / URANUS union.
URANUS in TAU these years (2018 / 19 – 2026), and esp. this TAU season is a call to wake up, enJoy Life-in-Spring, and emBody Freedom as your True Nature!
Also noteworthy:
LILITH in VIR, after opposing SATURN in PI (exact last Oct, yet still ‘lingering’) has been opposed by MARS last week, and will oppose NEPTUNE in PI throughout June.
The only other opposition currently, besides the FM axis.
A juxtaposition between challenges through collective & chaotic forces (PI) and the notion to be in our Temple of Wellness-in-Wholeness, use the tools at our disposal, adhere to what’s good for us, and be of service in soulful ways (VIR).
The Scorpionic Buddha Moon helps us with channeling all these ‘free flowing’ energies into deep processes that get us to the Heart & Soul of the Matter, where change can happen.
Where in your birth / relocation chart is early SCO / TAU?
That’s where deep, hidden / repressed emotional material comes up, with the Full Moon.
Shadow is being revealed to be processed, purged, and transformed into ‘compost’ (SCO) – for new grounding, nourishing and sustaining energy (TAU).
Which tends to show up in / via relationships (Full Moon) between opposing sides in ourselves, with others, with society, etc.
Maybe your SUN, MOON, Nodes, or Planets are there?
Extra activation / excavation ‘markers’.
In any case, check out the opposing SCO – TAU Houses in your birth (or relocation) chart for the dynamics between pain / pleasure, change / stability, soul & body, activated by this Full Moon:
1st House
Your Presence and Sense of Self
2nd House
Your Values, what you own, your Body, your Business
3rd House
You in Your Local Environment
4th House
You and Your Home, Origin, Ancestry

Let’s bring in the
Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon Energies
Starting with the MOON at 4º17′ SCO
“SCORPIO 5°
A MASSIVE ROCKY SHORE RESISTS THE POUNDING OF THE SEA
KEYNOTE
The Inertia of all Institutionalized Procedures
Slow is the rise of the land from the vast ocean, but once it is formed it develops a formidable resistance to change in spite of storms.
Likewise, once a culture has expressed its basic symbols and its particular way of thinking, feeling and acting in concrete institutions, these change very slowly indeed.
The individual who came to the great city (Scorpio 1° symbol) soon finds his life set by the rhythms of city living, which obliterate vaster life processes and the moving tides of evolution.
This is the last of the five symbols of the forty-third sequence.
We see in it how binding and resistant a communal way of life can become.
In this there is strength and stability, and these are necessary factors in human social life – until new horizons beckon.
The Keyword is STABILITY.”
And for the SUN at 4º17′ TAU
“TAURUS 5°: A WIDOW AT AN OPEN GRAVE
KEYNOTE
The Impermanence of all Material & Social Bonds
“All natural compounds decay”, said the Buddha.
The most beautiful and most enjoyed substance loses its potential energy through continuous actualization and the principle of integration and form is withdrawn, leaving the Void – ‘the open grave’ that ends all attachments.
The Void is the great challenge: What next? One must begin anew, and if possible at a ‘higher’, i.e. more inclusive and universal, less egocentric, level.
This fifth conclusive stage of the sequence which deals with root elements and basic actions and responses may seem negative, yet it opens the door to self-renewal. Beyond the personal attachment rises the possibility of participating in a larger sphere of existence.
This possibility rarely manifests itself except as one is ready to
DISCARD THE PAST.”
What a powerful juxtaposition – in almost reverse SCO – TAU dynamic, showing the attachment ‘problem’ / painful experiences with either.
For SCO: The seemingly unchangeable institutions, and the powerful binding and absorbing collective forces in city / civilization life.
How can we free ourselves from those?
For TAU: The tragic reality of impermanence.
Can we radically-pro-actively discard the past (URANUS in TAU) –
Or at least our attachment to what / whom we have bonded?
Well, that lends itself to a transition to…
The Wesak Moon of the Buddha
Buddhist Stupa – perhaps under the Wesak Full Moon –
photographer unknown
The Wesak Moon is celebrated by the Buddhist World Sangha (community), honouring the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Gautama Siddhartha, the Buddha, who walked the Earth more than 2500 years ago, and set an example for the Living Buddha in all of us.
In Buddhist cultures, the Full Moon in May traditionally marks the Wesak Moon, which falls this year on May 22 / 23 – when the SUN will be already in GEM and the MOON in SAG.
I’ve found that the Wesak Moon with its Buddhist teachings aligns so well with the SCO – TAU axis. Therefore, I refer to the yearly SCO – TAU Full Moon (which might, as this year, occur already in April) as the astrological Wesak Moon.
So many provoking and out-of-control situations are up…
The deep emotions they evoke can pull us into a ‘pain-body’ loop.
Eckhart Tolle coined the term ‘pain body’ – what I refer to here.
Staying with what-IS, being calm (TAU) & conscious (SUN), holding space for what’s going on deeply-emotionally (MOON) can bring us to the core (SCO) of the matter (TAU), and is being transformed (SCO) in this cauldron.
Sitting in the Buddha Heart Hub, with wisdom and compassion, in the Wheel of Life, saves the day and is the way / the pathless path.
PLUTO, ruler of SCO, ‘undertaker’ and archaeologist Archetype, now in AQ and in T-square with the Full Moon, helps unearth our core essence & Soul Power as Humans.
PLUTO now at the beginning of AQ (with LIBRA undertone) prescribes / can bring out (while also showing extremes in that regard:
The Power of our shared genuine Humanity, and World Community – also an antidote to isolation & alienation (shadow of AQ).
An essential question in Buddhist teachings:
Why do we humans suffer / are we dissatisfied / discontent (‘dukkha’)?
It’s simple and ‘revolutionarily’ obvious to see it this way (why do we forget?!):
Because of our attachments to what we desire, and their frustration – not getting what we want, and not being able (or: willing!) to get rid of / resist the unwanted and painful, yet being trapped in its grip.
Which is… very TAU – SCO!
What a contrast!
Taurean Life-in-Spring, enjoyment, physical / material pleasure, eating, embodying, gaining, gathering, growing, having…
And Scorpionic pain, death, loss, grief and the whole spectrum of emotional depth – which, if it doesn’t crush us, can bring us to the essence of where real Power within sits, and change us in our evolution, personally & collectively.
What does the Buddha say to this essential polarity in life?
There’s a difference between physical / emotional pain, and the human suffering coming from it – the ‘pain body’.
Suffering – even though it may feel so appropriate and legit – has to do with the attachment to the desire for what we want, and to the desire of getting rid of the unwanted and painful. It comes up esp. in the ‘sticky’ fixed signs TAU – SCO (the FM axis), LEO, and AQ (PLUTO, squaring the FM).
The Buddhists would suggest two ‘ways out’ of suffering:
* To be aware that nothing really lasts forever.
Everything that has manifested is impermanent.
This world of phenomena is in constant flux and change (SATURN & NEPTUNE in PI show us a lot about this too…). Realizing this helps us to better surf the ‘waves of change’, and become free from wanting it ‘our way’.
* To walk the ‘Middle Path’, a.k.a. to practice the Noble 8-fold Path (right speech, right livelihood, right action, etc.) which brings intrinsic happiness.
Awakening, and emBodying Freedom is buddha-ful.
Awakener URANUS & JUPITER united in TAU are activated by the SUN in the Full Moon.
Bright – clear – conscious – liberated – alive energy is available, on the other side of the SCO process…
I’ve been listening to Eckhart Tolle’s audio book (read by him) A New Earth (there’s prob. also an online version available), and find it so helpful / paradigm shifting / enlightening.
It’s from 2005 – and timelessly and timely relevant, esp. the central piece about the ‘Pain Body’, and how to become free from it.
May the season of the Buddha’s / Astrological Wesak Moon bring golden opportunities ‘in the dark’, for realization & practice that set us FREE!
More Offerings for the Wesak Moon
The SCO / TAU Wesak Full Moon is a fully solar illumined (and most potent) SCORPIO MOON that reveals our deepest needs for transformation.
With our conscious Self (the SUN), we have to patiently stay & ‘sit with’ (TAU) what comes up from the depth, for the processing (SCO).
Bali Morning Prayer – photo by Helga Hendricks
In Buddhist tradition, the image of the peaceful Buddha floating on a (Taurean) Lotus flower that blossoms so purely & beautifully while rooted in the (Scorpionic) mud swamp, represents the enlightened quality, rooted in real-life human suffering, and evoking compassion.
* Where do your swampy roots show up, these days?
* Can you ‘sit’ with it all, open to the light of consciousness?
* Can you dwell in the Buddha hub of calm – within the tension between enjoyment and pain?
* Hold (fixed energy of SCO – TAU) as much spiritual energy as possible.
And allow yourself to be held by it.
The Wesak Full Moon is a magnificent divine and meditative moment-in-time, when transformation (SCO) can be anchored (TAU).
Our attachment to desires and longing for what we want and don’t have, or ‘even’ to pain / suffering / complaining / to feeding those ‘hungry ghosts’ (TAU – SCO) that show up in obvious or subtle personal and collective / cultural addictions and compulsions (more consumption, information, work, entertainment, F.O.M.O., nothing’s ever enough, being pulled into the dark…) can be really UP and fully-ON, in these times.
Can you put these manifestations of attachments into the bonfire of the Soul (SCO) so that the deep Alchemy can do its work?!
Natural empowerment via intrinsic Soul connection comes from there.
Supported by PLUTO about to turn from direct-forward to retro on May 2:
Finding Power within, and via intrinsic transformation.
Truth on all levels is being revealed through the process.
Esp. as the MOON will move from SCO over the ‘Phoenix Point’ into SAG, on Apr 25 (exact at 6:37 pm PDT).
That’s also the day when MERCURY goes from retro to direct again!
The days after the Wesak Moon are considered ‘Days of Distribution’ of the Buddha Blessings – very apropos SAG MOON also.
The YIN-YANG is a perfect symbol for balancing the Yin / Lunar and Yang / Solar influences in us, under each Full Moon.
Especially under this astrologically potent SCO – TAU Wesak Moon.
As above so below and within….
We ARE the field, and the catalysts for evolution & liberation…
In the light of the Wesak Moon….
…it’s good to sit a la TAU with what’s here-now, enJoy Life with all its blossoming expressions – without getting attached.
As the smiling Buddha would.
URANUS, now in TAURUS – and super activated by JUPITER – brings:
The wake-up call to EmBody unconditional Freedom.
How can we be free from what’s been stifling & stuck, from old fears that have proven redundant (many do), and the alike?
And / or we might be drawn to new freedom for…
Yet: Real Freedom is unconditional Freedom.
Or, as the spiritual teacher J. Krishnamurti (his Taurean human birthday is on May 12) would point out brilliantly:
It’s about Freedom without an opposite (as in: from / for), since otherwise it pretends to be Freedom but isn’t the real deal.
Similarly, again quoting K., and inquiring myself:
What is Love that has no opposite?
That takes us full circle.
A good place to hand it over to the Wesak Moon, and Her infusion…
May the ‘Power of the Dark’ be fully seen and released.
May re-grounding in emBodied Freedom be restored.
May we come out of the (esp. emotional) trials & tribulations stronger, re-empowered, and with our ‘wild’ and loving Heart.
May we remember our always FREE Buddha Nature!
Many Blessings now-as-always!
