Hi, magical moonbeam! Are you feeling this Full Moon in Scorpio?

In general, FIXED astrological events give us more… let’s say *sensations* than other ones. Especially the “hard” aspects.

What does any of that mean for you?

Welp, you’re likely feeling this Full Moon in Scorpio! It’s the Moon in a Fixed sign opposing (hard aspect) the Sun in another Fixed sign (Taurus).

If you’re feeling sleepier than usual, more crabby than usual, or just generally under more pressure than usual, you can look forward to the RELEASE of the Full Moon soon. 😘❤️

Here’s what I’m doing with this Full Moon, in case you’re looking for ideas:

• dry brushing followed by magnesium salts bath
• use my favorite combo of Mars/Venus oils (Mars for Scorpio; Venus for Taurus)
• make a list of Full Moon RELEASE items (money worries, trauma attachment, grudges, resentment, deep [ancestral] regret)
• (safely) burn the list under the Full Moon, thanking Scorpio for her ability to get all the way to the deepest depths of all the things, and allowing her talent for PRUNING to clear the way for a healthier garden from here
• self-hug followed by “flicking off” any energetic hitchhikers so they move on too

I’ll also light a red candle and burn some dragon’s blood incense.

Why the red candle and dragon’s blood incense?

The Mars rulership of Scorpio for this Full Moon, yes, but also because I’m spending a LOT of time with Mars right now. My amazing (Mars-ruled) team and I recently did a fabulous MARS IN CHARGE webinar and — if that weren’t Mars enough — I’m building a better/more consistent Mars relationship for myself and anyone who’d like to join me for that motivation-building, passion-stoking, action-taking pop-up offering via IF MARS AIN’T HAPPY… (and boy, are we loving keeping Mars — and ourselves — happy)!

How do you know if your relationship with Mars could use a boost?

• you struggle with motivation
• you pop off at people even when you mean to stay calm
• you’re afraid of fighting, ever (OMG, that was *so* me)
• you’ve become unsure of your life’s passion and purpose (NBD, right?)
• you LOVE taking action and just want to celebrate it more

Thank you for checking these offers out. I’ve been asked to do a Mars pop-up ever since we built 44 Days With Venus a couple o’ years ago! I’ll be honest: Venus was *way* easier for me (duh; she’s my chart ruler and I LIVE a very Venus life… plus, my natal Mars is in bad shape. This takes WORK for me).

ANYway, I decided to write today to share my Moon ritual in case you’d like to do one too, to invite you to check out some Mars support, and most of all to let you know that today my sweet mother would’ve been 92. She died at 67 (and that feels really young to me).

I feel so very connected to my mother as I follow in her astrological footsteps (did I ever tell you that I was born during her Nodal Return? Meaning, she and I have the same NORTH NODE [destiny point] in our natal charts? Family patterns are so damn cool).

Got a glorious visit from a hummingbird today. Right up to my face. Hovering, buzzing, FACE TO FACE. Oh, those sweet messages from nature make me filled with a glow like none other!

Hope you’re honoring beautiful messages today and always. It’s weird times out there, but always always always there is so much inspiration out there (and IN there) too.

So much love flowing your way,
