Full Moon in Scorpio: Truth-Telling Moon

Today, we welcome the full, blue moon* in the fixed water sign of Scorpio. We salute the serpent eagle, scorpionic sign of psychological depth, shared intimacy, finances, debt, death and rebirth. Magic and mischief. Thorough transformation.

This month’s blue moon represents a Pandora’s Box being opened. Secrets are out! It’s once in a blue moon, and Venus is conjunct unpredictable Uranus to add to the surprise factor. More is revealed, more is brought to the surface than you may’ve thought necessary, or possible.

The reason for this comeuppance is that many of us have held back far too long, holding your tongue, keeping it ‘above board,’ kosher, polite. 

Not so these days. It’s time we are speaking up to each other more and more, opening up and revealing our inner experience, points of views, strengths. This is in our families, our communities, our partnerships and businesses. Even when it stings, like Scorpio.

We are saying, THIS is the Truth. This is what hurts. That feels good. This is how I feel. This is who I am! We cannot sit silently by at this Full Moon time. Scorpio presides in its anaretic, or karmic, 29^th degree – a grand finale, last hurrah with extra oomph.

Yes, Pandora’s Box is opened. Hobgoblins may hop out. And imps, upstarts, will-o'-the-wisp, sure. But! So will helper spirits, lucky charms, hidden gems and lost treasures!

When you take a risk to speak up, open up, reveal yourself, you know you’ve hit the vein of gold hidden in true intimacy.

A Word on Money 

Scorpio is the ruler of investments, shared finances, bonuses, windfalls, and debts. Those who have dealt with inheritances, divorce settlements, scholarships or grants, family or partnership business money will all know how deeply intimate this realm is. When we get honest about money, we’ve hit paydirt, gotten to the core.

If you’ve been asking yourself, where is my abundance? Where is my money? My financial success? If your flow has stopped, if you’re confused or stressed about money, or worried about your financial security or illusory future, take note:

Opening up Pandora’s Box, telling the gut-honest truth to yourself and the others in your life, will open up your money flow! Consider making best use of this truth-telling full moon in Scorpio. You may just hit the jackpot.

Cash and the Cosmos: Your Astro Guide to Money

OK, so maybe you can't tell the IRS that you lost your tax records because you're a Pisces...

Where does all your money go, anyway? No other area of modern life causes more stress in than keeping up adequate cash flow. Perhaps you, too, have had sleepless nights, lying awake and wondering, "How can I ever pay off this mounting debt, pay the bills, and make rent, let alone save for retirement?"

Knowing the spending habits of your Sun Sign may not instantly bring a bushel of bucks to your bank account. But a little financial self-awareness goes a long way in increasing your bottom line. Here's what motivates you when it comes to your money.

ASTROLOGER ERIN notes: This is just for fun, folks! Don't forget to read your Rising Sign, and your Moon Sign, too - if you know them. For a fully personalized astrological consultation based on your birth chart, contact me directly.


Aries:
Impulsive, rash, and a bit careless with the cash – that's you, Aries. When you want something, you want it now. If that red Porsche or bungee-jumping seminar appeals to you, you won't bat an eyelash about plunking down the payment. Rein it in just a bit, so you won't see that Visa bill skyrocketing higher than your lofty ambition.

Taurus:
Comfort-loving Taurus, you consistently cultivate cash, so you can lounge about on the weekends. You keep plenty in the coffers for the good life. For entertainment, you track the stock market daily (they don't call a strong Dow average a "bull" market for nothing!). While couch surfing, you watch financial planning gurus on TV, taking notes on mutual funds and retirement strategies.

Gemini:
How many ATM withdrawals did you make this week and fail to get a receipt? You're so busy you forget money exists. Waiters holler after you while you're tearing down the street to your next appointment. Get a little more grounded with your money, Gem. Remember: the bank's not going to buy it when you tell them your evil Twin has been bouncing checks again.

Cancer:
Cautious Crab, you're a whizbang with your wallet and the best saver in the Zodiac! You want to be a stay-at-home mom or dad, so find a partner to work while you're at home with the kids. You love home cooking, and scrimping on the dining out will save some dough. Your spending weak spots: home remodeling, new furnishings, and groovy garden equipment.

Leo:
For you, regal Leo, cash is king. Your sense of entitlement and "I Deserve It All" nature ensure you never miss out on the good life. A jaunt to Paris, a sexy bauble, a bottle of Dom Perignon - nothing is too fine for you, a luxury-lover with champagne taste. Make sure your employer knows you're the master, too, or Mastercard will topple you from your throne.

Virgo:
OK, Virgo, stop worrying whether you'll save another dollar on Post-Its at the warehouse outlet. Surely, you have other details to lose sleep over. You've got your numbers organized to a "T," with years of records on Quicken, backed up on a spreadsheet, and filed away in hard copy, right at your fingertips. A bonus when dining with friends: when the check comes, you'll doubly ensure it's properly divided with tax and tip, to the penny.

Libra:
Fashion tickles your fancy, Libra, and your closet holds more designer pieces than New York's Fashion Week. And, as the Zodiac's socialite extraordinaire, you're known for hosting fabulous, catered parties that your friends rave about for months. You lovely Libras never want your work life to interfere with your social life, so find yourself a nice benefactor so you can spend your days shopping and sampling caviar.

Scorpio:
Just like everything, Scorpio, when it comes to money, your keyword is possession. You control your cash just like your emotions. When you invest, you make sure it's only the best. No cheap, throwaway goodies for you; whatever you buy has quality written all over it. Purchases must be built-to-last and durable, just like you. Watch that your secret sentimental streak doesn't get the best of you when your favorite charity asks you to cough it up. You're a softie under all that toughness.

Sagittarius:
Yes, Sag, we know you must travel. It's not just a luxury for the adventure-loving Archer; it's a necessity. You're happy living off rice and beans so that you can take off and climb Kilimanjaro. Your 401(k) needs a little lift, however, since you've spent the last of it on yet another round-the-world ticket. Get a job that combines your freedom-loving nature with a stable paycheck. Otherwise you'll be stuck surfing the 'Net instead of sailing the seven seas.

Capricorn:
Ambition is your middle name, Cap, and your savings account is likely just as solid as your rung on the corporate ladder. You hold the keys to Fort Knox, you're so darn strict with your cash. But goodness, guarded Goat, will you loosen up on the greenbacks? We know you're saving for the empire you're building, but a little fun and frolic could do you right. Stop and smell the flowers on your way up the mountain - and pick some up on the way home from work, too.

Aquarius:
You navigate your money like you're in outer space. The best bet for you, Aquarius, is to get yourself a financial manager, so you don't have to think about the material realm any more than necessary. You'll whip out your wallet to help a homeless person. Problem is, how to afford it? Come down to earth and give your fellow humans the pleasure of your company, and you might be able to save enough cash to pay the bills.

Pisces:
Pisces, you'd prefer to never have to think about money again. Come on, admit it: you'd rather spend your days meditating, taking a bubble bath, sipping cocktails - all at once. Enjoy now, pay later - that's your financial motto. But even the daydreaming Fish has to wake up and smell the coffee, so keep your day job and save your seashells. Pisces are suckers for new shoes, being ruled by their feet. Put down that extra pair of Manolo Blahniks and walk away.
