The full moon in Scorpio is exact on April 23 at 7:49 p.m. eastern time. We are completely done with eclipse season and on April 25 at 7:54 a.m., Mercury stations direct.

But we’re not out of the clear yet!

As I’ve been saying for a while now, the energies are not ripe for starting things anew. This full moon in Scorpio—like all full moons do—marks a time to review what has been going on in the recent past, reap the rewards of what you have been working on, plan your next moves, and eliminate what no longer serves you. If eclipse season has impacted you in a significant way, this is a time to pick up the pieces and deal with what’s already on your plate.

The Scorpio full moon energy will help you sort things out. Scorpio is known for diving deep into their inner core—their soul—and digging up the truth of the matter. Their emotions run deep. Sometimes Scorpios are secretive. Perhaps the things they dig up are not pretty or they are concerned that the average person would approve or understand.

To add to that, Scorpio is the sign of change and transformation. In traditional astrology, Scorpio is ruled by Mars, a destructive force that can have beneficial uses. Think of a wrecking ball bringing down an old unused building in order to replace it with a new structure. The modern ruler of Scorpio is Pluto, the no nonsense planet of change by way of exerting your personal power.

To work with the energy of the full moon in Scorpio, allow your deep-seated emotions to come to the surface. Feel. Observe. Analyze. Then, find ways to transform them into something that is useful. For instance, working through fear can lead to bravery. Anger can be used as motivation to take positive action. Sadness can be transmuted through self-care and unconditional self-love. Happiness can be shared with others to help lift their spirits, which they can share with more people, in turn.

In two weeks, the new moon in Taurus, the sign of manifestation, will be here soon enough. This is around the same time as the end of the Mercury retrograde shadow period. As they say, April showers bring May flowers. So hang in there!
