The full moon enters the water sign of Scorpio on Thursday and his influence will linger over the following six days.
Plus, astrological advice from several astrologers discussing the upcoming Saturn, Venus, and Jupiter retrogrades, and how this plays into the quest for truth, the fulfillment of desires and romance.
Full moon in Scorpio May 7 awakens quest for truth
The full moon awakens our unconscious mind. It triggers the deep-seated emotions, feelings, instincts, and intuitions that are always active beneath the surface, even if we are not aware of it. Another way of saying it is that the full moon reveals our hidden nature.
The “real us” that may differ from the “public face” we show to the world. The moon enhances our true inner spirit. The full moon is where the magic happens. We may find romance, we may find ourselves more emboldened to seek intimacy or whatever it is we truly desire.
We may step beyond the superficial and engage in deep, meaningful conversations, ones that may even bring up painful memories as we seek to get to the truth and find answers.
This enhanced energy also prompts a note of caution that we guard ourselves against looking for truth in the wrong places or for seeking to fulfill our desires with instant gratification.
The spirit of the full moon is about getting to what’s real and that is never found easily, or on the surface – it takes digging.
Retrogrades in May
An astounding 3 retrograde events occur in May 2020. The first is Saturn on May 11, Venus on May 13, and Jupiter on May 14.
Saturn will turn our attention toward “big picture” things prompting us to focus on our responsibilities, as well as the boundaries these place on our lives. Retrograde prompts us to revisit the past and give thanks, another look over for valuable lessons.
It marks a time for us to use all of our collective wisdom and lessons we have gained and put them to use. In the end, we should emerge with a sense of reward for all of our efforts.
Saturn retrograde will be another special moment, as it is the first time Saturn will be entering retrograde since entering Aquarius on March 21, 2020. This time, Saturn will move through Aquarius and then fall back into Capricorn on July 1, remaining there until September 29.
Venus going retrograde is a less frequent event, and it brings focus upon relationships and finances. Retrograde brings the potential to turn both of these upside down. It’s a time when we must be thoughtful, cautious, and prudent.
Jupiter brings reflection as we re-examine our personal philosophies and spiritual viewpoints. Like with Saturn, our focus will shift to the “big picture” aspects of our life.
