Scorpio Full Moon - May 6, 2012

This is the Super Full Moon of 2012. The plus-sized appearance is caused by the Moon's orbit bringing it closer to the Earth while it is Full. The best time to view the larger then usual size is when the Moon is on the horizon.
 
The Full Flower Moon is delivering both challenges and rewards together. Read the Lunar Living article to learn more. Finding balance of activities and emotions during this Full Moon will help to deal with the challenges as well as reap the rewards. Naturally, there is an intuitive nature to the Scorpio Moon, and this has the potential of bringing up feelings of jealousy and revenge. Find ways to redirect impulsive reactions that could potentially harm another. The wrong outcome for the right reasons does not usually bode well in our society.

The Scorpio Full Moon in the western hemisphere is actually on May 5, which is the day of independence and celebration for the Mexican community known as Cinco de Mayo. This is a very festive day of great Mexican food and music.

Next weekend is Mother's Day in the United States. Remember to set aside some time to honor the mothers in our lives who nurtured and comforted us as children and in times of need.

Don't forget that the Gemini Solar Eclipse is in two weeks. This is an annular eclipse meaning that it is similar to a total but that the Moon will not totally block out all the light leaving a ring of fire around the Moon's outline.  Many people are already feeling the influences of the Solar Eclipse.
