Did you see Mars rising right next to the Full Moon in Scorpio last night? It was epic! I wish I took a picture. You can still see the super-bright Mars opposition to the Sun today / tonight, just after the Moon rises. Mars is closer to the earth than it has been in over 10 years. He is directly opposite the Sun from earth, so we’re getting the brightness of what is basically a “full Mars.”
The Moon is passing over retrograde Saturn today as well. With Moon, the planet of our emotional body, still sandwiched between these two intense planets in Scorpio, you might feel a lot of emotional pressure and agitation. The window for transformation opened by this full Moon is still there!
This powerful Mars in Scorpio, though retrograde, gives us the chance to turn all of our courage towards strengthening our emotional vulnerability. Now is a great time to get in touch with your inner spiritual warrior to fortify your heart as you face your innermost fears.
