Finding Clarity and Liberation: Exploring Self-Worth and Emotional Release During Taurus Season and the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse

Intuitive analysis of The Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio through the lenses of Huber's Aspect Pattern Model, Chandra symbols and Qi face reading.

Taurus season helps us explore self-worth and creativity, while the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse helps us purge emotions and release the baggage that does not align with the new frequencies of Earth. Working with the South Node in Scorpio, this eclipse activates a deeper part of our true selves; thus, our limited beliefs and concepts of ourselves become claustrophobic. Sun's annual conjunction with Uranus will direct our attention to our environment, our physical and emotional landscape. The intensity is soothed by cultivating awareness of our inner experience and our soul's desire. Venus in Gemini interacts with Neptune and Jupiter on May 4 and enters Cancer on May 6, providing opportunities for self-care after the intense eclipse season.

I will interpret the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio through the lenses of three books. The Aspect Pattern Astrology, The Inside Degrees, and The Wisdom of Your Child's Face offer unique perspectives on this lunar cycle, allowing for a deeper understanding of the astrological energies at play.

The Aspect Pattern Astrology:

The Irritation Triangle, also called the Stimulus Triangle, represents a constant need for movement and stimulation in astrology. It consists of one opposition, one semi-sextile, and a quincunx, with the opposition being the central focus. This figure's energies seek to resolve opposing pressures, blockages in energy flow, and rigid attitudes that they produce. Although individuals with this aspect may experience sudden outbursts of anger as a defensive response to external pressures, their ability to adapt quickly and make amends enables them to move on from these episodes.

Let’s take the French Painter Henry Rousseau as an example.

The horoscope of Henry Rousseau reveals an opposition on the 4/10 axis, indicating an individuation process, which is resolved by the green aspect to the Moon and Venus in the fifth House, indicating artistic ability. As a self-taught painter and co-founder of the "Naïve Art" school, Rousseau creatively transferred his Irritation Triangle, supported by a talent triangle and other blue aspects in his horoscope. However, despite his artistic abilities, he faced many obstacles, highlighting that an Irritation Triangle does not come with inherent gifts.

Chandra Symbols:

The only full moon in Scorpio in 2023 marks May 5th at 1:34 p.m. ET, rising at 14 degrees Scorpio. During a penumbral lunar eclipse, the moon is covered by the Earth's shadow, known as the penumbra, because the Earth blocks some of the sun's rays from illuminating the moon. The last time such an eclipse will occur in Scorpio until 2031.

Note: These symbols are expressed in words rather than images.

Scorpio 14- Women dressed in black. They are wailing and mourning.

This passage describes a mindset characterized by darkness, heaviness, and grief for lost worlds. The individual is preoccupied with endings, fascinated by decomposition, and living deep in the unconscious. They feel cursed and have a sensibility of doom but are driven to transform patterns and syndromes that limit them—the importance of deeply engaging in mourning with the support of others symbolized by the women in black. If the mourning is not thorough enough, it may become a habit, but fully submerging oneself in mourning will lead to release and renewal. The rope going up into the sky signifies fulfillment.

The Wisdom of Your Child's Face:

The secret to life on Earth is the circular rhythm of the Five Elements, discovered thousands of years ago in China and developed into the philosophy of Taoism, the basis for Chinese medicine, and infiltrated the culture with feng shui and face reading. The Five Elements represent the type of energy present at each stage in the circle of life and form the map of how everything on Earth works, creating the harmony of life itself. One attains coherence with the world's natural rhythms by living in alignment with it. Each of us has a default setting or "home planet" personality type based on one of the Five Elements, which can be read in our faces and observed in our actions.

Water -night, winter, death, and prebirth :
The Water element represents the stillness of night, hibernation, and dormancy of winter, as well as the rebirth and afterlife. It is associated with the mystery and quietude of the night and the deep, hidden potential of life waiting to be born or reborn.

Wood- morning, spring, birth, and childhood:
The Wood element is associated with morning, spring, birth, and childhood. It represents the force of life and vitality, characterized by the energy and upward motion of the plants and the enthusiasm of a child.

Fire - noon, summer, and the prime of life:
The Fire element represents the peak of the day, the summer season, and the prime of life when we're physically at our best. Its movement is upward and outward in expansion, symbolized by the brightness of the sun at noon and the blooming of flowers.

Earth = afternoon, late summer/early fall, and middle age:
The Earth Element represents a slower period of the day and middle age, where we enjoy the fruits of our labor and consolidate our energy in a downward motion. It's also associated with harvest time and abundance.

Metal = early evening, late fall, and old age:
Metal represents the end of the day, the autumn of life, and the time when we start to slow down and contemplate our mortality. Its energy is characterized by inward movement, contraction, and hardening, as we consolidate and preserve what we have accomplished throughout our lives.

As you explore the intricacies of your inner world, it can be incredibly empowering to understand your unique design and how it influences your behavior. By recognizing the strongly expressed Element in your nature, you can gain insight into your personality and unlock the key to self-soothing, healing, and taking action to become the best version of yourself and share it with others. Happiness is only real when shared. Trust in the healing process, and know you deserve love and peace. - A.Mournian
