Full Moon
Full Moon in Scorpio
A Full Moon in Scorpio is when the Moon in Scorpio opposes the Sun in Taurus, bringing the tension between depth and what feels safe to a head.
Modern
The Full Moon is the bright, culminating point of the cycle, when something that has been building comes to light. In Scorpio, opposite the Sun in Taurus, it lights up the pull between going deep into what is shared and hidden and staying with what is simple and secure. Feelings about intimacy, trust, and the things you hold jointly with others tend to surface now, sometimes with surprising force, and ask to be faced. It is a powerful time to release what you have outgrown and to be honest about what you truly want, as long as you do not let intensity tip into suspicion.

The Mars-ruled Moon set against the Venus-ruled Sun marks the old tension between what is shared and what is kept coming to its peak, a time of culmination and, often, of release.
