The Sun in Scor­pio and the Moon in Tau­rus come to their oppo­si­tion today. Their jux­ta­po­si­tion speaks to the ten­sion­al truth between Ever­last­ing Val­ue and the Imper­ma­nence of the phys­i­cal world.

We find beau­ty in so many forms, in a sun­rise or sun­set, in the scent of a mead­ow or at the seashore, the twin­kle in some­one’s eye or the touch of their hand. Yet, we all know that all these beau­ties are only for a time…and then they are gone. We want the good to last for­ev­er, but every­thing must pass away…so that it can come again… and pass away, so that it may come back again.

So, it is at this time of year, when all of nature is turn­ing inward, drop­ping her fruits and seeds into the earth…when the days are grow­ing short­er and the light is fading…It is now that we face our mor­tal­i­ty, and our eter­ni­ty in spir­it. We have the gift of self-aware­ness and we know what is coming.…Winter is coming.

Here at the Full Moon of Scor­pio we cel­e­brate the truth that all things must pass so that new things may come forth. It has always been so…it will always be so.
