Illuminating The Darkness

Inspiration Towards A Collaborative Massive Rethink

The Moon was Full in Scorpio on 5/12/2025 at 22 degrees @ 12:55 PM ESDT

The Full Moon is a moment of culmination. An ending leading to a new beginning.

The brightness of the Moon is being illuminated by the Taurus Sun at 22 degrees conjoined with Uranus at 26 degrees.

This Scorpio Moon at 22 degrees mellows the process of the sign within its latter degrees.

Scorpio via its ruling planet Pluto appears to be illuminating the shadows of darkness .

This is reflected in the concerns and trepidations of this moment as they continue to be played out. Lurking within the processes of death, decay, transformation and rebirth.

Awaiting the rebirth ….the former still appears to be in process.

Still and all, the Full Moon is a brief moment where we can take stock and assess our lives along with the state of affairs.

With the Scorpio Full Moon now well under way it is good to keep moving forward in our daily lives in the very best way we can. Even within the intensity of dynamic events occurring all around us.

To breathe, center ourselves and ground into the day to day rituals and routines is a very powerful practice.

To trust that process is the challenge of Scorpio. Trust is a very important component of the Scorpio journey.

Scorpio tends towards suspicion which imbues this sign with deep and thorough investigative skills. Scorpio is the Sherlock Holmes of the Zodiac.

Scorpio seeks the real genuine truth no matter how dark, bitter or ugly. Scorpio must know what’s really behind it all. For Scorpio, it’s better to know for the sake of their own self sovereignty. This way Scorpio is the place in our charts where we test situations to make sure they are trustworthy. Earned trust is necessary for all relationships however for Scorpio it’s an essential for their own well being.

Isabel Hickey describes Scorpio as “ the hidden, stagnant marsh waters that must be cleansed by the free flowing waters of life.” Scorpio’s need to uncover the truth serves as an effective cleanser to clear away the murky marsh waters.

Scorpio in its powerful energetic way tends to operate in the shadows. Operating hidden below the surface as indicated by its modern ruling planet, Pluto.

Pluto being Lord of the Underworld.

For Scorpio there is an intensity of feeling. Scorpio feels deeply and intensely. It is helpful for Scorpio to be able to accurately identify their emotions. To understand their needs.

When feelings are acknowledged they can be managed. They can also be decoded to understand what needs are required and how to realize them. This is a good use of Scorpio energy.

When Scorpio’s dynamic intensity is channeled through its emotions managed in a healthy way, then wisdom and grace emerge.

The ability to go to the depths of hidden truths then soar above it all while observing life unfold is a resource of Scorpio.

It’s the feeling side of Scorpio that has the potential to serve as its very own elixir for healing. Healing that catalyzes the necessary transformation to take place and allow for rebirth that must follow the pain and angst of all that death, decay and the promise of gestation for the new life to emerge.

Behold the ultimate Scorpio process.

The Sabian symbol for 22 degrees Scorpio is , ‘HUNTERS SHOOTING WILD DUCKS”

The meaning Dane Rudhyar gives to this symbol as channeled by Clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler in 1925 is the socialization of man’s primitive instincts. There is a suggestion of refinement when ritualized in this way. So indicated by the keywords of this Sabian symbol. “SOCIALIZATION of INSTINCTS”. However…

To contrast this symbol with the Sabian symbol for Taurus at 22 degrees;

“WHITE DOVE FLYING OVER TROUBLED WATERS”

Rudhyar goes on to keynote this image as, “The spiritual inspiration that comes to the individual in the overcoming of crisis.”

There is an illumination that enters the heart and mind when confronted with crisis. Ideas based on a deep understanding that helps to grasp the reality of the challenges confronting us.

To have this awareness on one level enables us to get our basic needs met even in the midst of chaos and turmoil. Learning to manage our needs and feelings in a dignified manner while striving for peace.

For a better world.

To trust that all is well even as we undergo whatever our own journey requires of us within this dynamically challenging moment.

So we focus on living our lives in the best way we know how to. The finest way we can. To enter into a give and take with others. To acquire what we need in order to establish and retain stability within a destabilizing set of circumstances.

As healthy individuated individuals we can join together with others to collaborate and create the society and world that we need. A world that is sustainable for all,

In this way as inhabitants of planet Earth we are pioneering a new way.

With Uranus at 26 degrees Taurus conjunct the Sun these ideas make sense. Uranus the modern ruler of Aquarius reveres the individuation process inasmuch as it is contained and respected as the necessary components of an egalitarian society.

Taurus seeks peace and stability via its ability to provide the resources needed for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Whereas Scorpio is the catalyst of transformation and change that ignites the metamorphosis of which we are in the midst of now.

We are in the process of an awakening now. An era that contains the realization of knowledge.

Knowingness concerning insights that hold the potential to manifest as a shift. A necessary shift in the collective conscious comprehension of how interconnected all of life really is.

The Pisces/Virgo Nodal Axis along with Pluto moving through Aquarius is birthing this new paradigm into recognizable knowledge.

We have the influences of Mercury at 3 degrees Taurus square to Mars at 11 degrees Leo in opposition to Pluto square to Mercury. This brings the power of communication into the mix as the synapses of the mind connects to comprehend what is happening and how to make sense of it.

With much friction, tension and strain it is necessary to utilize our heads, “ the little gray cells” as Hercule Poirot calls them. This is necessary as we find ourselves in the midst of a battle of wills evoked through the influence of Mars opposing Pluto.

Mercury in Taurus with its desire for peace and stability can be engaged to facilitate the proper use of resources during a critical moment in global history. Like the one we are in now.

The plot is sure to thicken even more as we await the ingress of Saturn to Aries on May 25 , 2025. Saturn at 0 degrees Aries will still keep the stellium intact sandwiched between the North Node at 25 degrees Pisces and Neptune at 1 degree Aries. However, the way we experience it could change,

The flow of energy from the heart based intuitive Mutable Water sign of Pisces to the Cardinal Fiery willful activity of Aries changes the tone.

However in the midst of this transition it is a good possibility that activity and energies of the fiery willful sort may be tempered with compassion and mercy. So to comprehend and utilize the Saturn conjunction to Neptune in Aries as a helpful influence. An effect that interplays as a reality check to the seductively foggy tendencies of the Neptune influence.

This ingress opens the door to new possibilities.

To comprehend these influences in this way brings an innovative possibility to hasten the paradigm shift that the existential crisis we are in might suggest.

The conjunction of Eris to Chiron will be exact on May 27, 2025. In the midst of Saturn’s ingress to Aries at 0 degrees .

Eris, Goddess of strife allows us to look at the conflicts. While Chiron must study what will heal such deep levels of pain.

Then there is Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, at 8 degrees Aries conjunct Neptune in Aries. This is a good moment to clarify how our desires are in synch. with our needs. A deep balance can be struck if we focus on what makes life blossom and bloom in a sustainable way.

The combination of these two planets in Aries, the sign of the Hero/Warrior suggests that we have the capacity to bring mindful awareness and compassion to this moment.

To deactivate fears that emerge at a moment when we are faced with a dilemma in our own growth. Existential concerns that threaten the very existence of humanity and all life on this planet itself.

This being catalyzed by the advent of too many corrupt authoritarian world leaders in positions of high office. It is deep wisdom to be afraid at such a time as this when criminally unqualified people hold elevated positions that they have no business occupying.

Getting back to Venus in Aries conjunct Neptune in Aries concerning needs, wants and desires, To make room for the fact that we all must be governed by laws. Laws that must protect the well being of the all of the people must always be a top priority.

All of this is well articulated and established in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. This divides government into 3 bodies, the legislative, the judicial and the executive.

The executive branch of government is run by an elected President through a free and fair democratic election, for all.

The person we elect must be well educated in the Constitution and law. They must take a sacred Oath with integrity to defend the Constitution and uphold the law.

A vibrant responsible person with wisdom, skills, experience and care must hold the Office of the Presidency. If this is not the case we have the right to “alter and abolish it and to implement new government.”

All this to say that it is helpful to understand that these current authoritarian/fascist leaning peoples are a wake up call to all of us who seek a democratic humane world.

The current state of affairs has been festering for a very long time.

As an astrologer I work with the major outer planet transits as process. So we have been in this process for the past 40 years. And here we are now.

To repeat that we are in a moment that has been coming to fruition for a long, long time. And now here we are.

Pluto in Aquarius can serve as the revelation of it all and the process of revelation in all likelihood will continue for a bit longer. Respectfully we are all evolving at various times and Pluto moves in a sustained way so very slowly.

Along with Neptune continuing its journey through Aries and Saturn’s ingress to Aries on the 25th of May we are living in some powerfully dynamic times. I would encourage astrologers and all sensitives to foster a comprehension of these influences from a higher octave of understanding that supports life. Even elements of adversity can serve the perpetuation of a focus towards evolving life.

To balance out the old paradigm of mechanist, split off thinking that perpetuates the obsolete and destructive concept of power over. To replace this corrupt paradigm with a new way of comprehending our lives as power coming from within. As sovereign beings as we all have the potential to be.

For now we must bear witness, with eyes wide open, to the blatant display of regular unregulated self serving destructive executive orders that denigrates and destroys life for the living. Awareness of such corruption and cruelty will ultimately help to bring about the shift.

To quote Dr. Carl Jung who also lived through the fascism of his age, “ You can’t heal what you don’t feel.”

So through our awareness of it we feel the outrage of it.Then we are motivated to take actions to heal it.

It is just these outrageous abuses of power that must serve as a massive wake up call to all who are feeling the consequences of such policies and demands.

To feel the pain of such discrepancies and disturbances on our daily lives is illustrating the need to take actions that must rein this in.

For the benefit and good of all.

From a psycho spiritual perspective all will benefit in the long term, even the perpetrators, as further destruction must ultimately be prevented. At the same time these destructive orders which are so opposed to our Constitution and the rule of law must stop and be reversed.

It’s up to each and every one of us to raise the vibration towards transcendence that holds the cleansing healing waters of truth. That opens the heart to understanding. To find a way through and to keep going.

Our like minded elected officials in government are as motivated to act on our behalf as we urge them to be. Therefore by stating our demands for a true democratic way of life we have elected them to act on our behalf. As We, the People.

Jupiter 23 degrees Gemini square to Saturn at 28 degrees Pisces that conjuncts the North Node at 25 degrees Pisces.

Indicates navigating the pull towards expansion at odds with the need for introspective contraction.

This transit has the capacity to bring a new consciousness into our purview. We have the potential to really comprehend the difference between real needs vs. false needs.

Clearly viewing from what we know of this moment we are in, that we are able to witness the false needs running such orders and policies coming from the executive office. They are based on a drive towards external power. Obsession with needs that are false perpetuations of the”hungry ghost” phenomenon that the psychologist Dr. Gabor Mate speaks of.

A real need is perpetuated by our feelings, contained within our Qi, when we understand how to listen. Real needs are connected to our well being, health and survival.

Our deeper level, real needs evoked by our feelings contain clues and insights to our wishes, dreams and desires.

To discern the difference and begin to somehow work the pain of that disappointment is big karma.

To view this moment from the lens of potential and possibility as we move through the troubled waters of this era. To envision this Full Moon in Scorpio as the culmination of a vision that is just one brief component of the birthing process is empowering.

The solutions we need are contained here now within our focus and commitment to our selves being healthy individuated peoples as well as our commitment to each other.

Becoming motivated with the intention to commit to sustaining life for all we are becoming aware of the way in which we are interconnected to all.

As we follow through.

Let us keep going.
