If You're Falling, Dive

The full moon in Scorpio rises today, May 12th, summoning each of us to take ownership of our choices and actions. After all, we are each the hero of our own story. What "woe is me" (or more grammatically, "woe is I") narratives have been looping in your mind lately? Scorpio–the sign most closely associated with power and control–is also a fearless seeker of truth and meaning.

Fixed signs–Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius–are especially called to examine the limiting beliefs that may be holding them back. Profound transformation and healing become possible when we shift our perspective and ask, "Why is this happening for me?" instead of surrendering our power with, "Why is this happening to me?"

For Taurus suns and risings, this full moon (and the weeks to follow) is a beautiful time to, in the words of Mary Oliver, "let the soft animal of your body love what it loves." This is why you came here after all.

And dear Scorpio, both sun and rising, the fertile soil of Taurus season invites you to plant seeds for something truly sweet. You've earned it. You deserve it.

As mythologist Joseph Campbell is often paraphrased, "If you're falling, dive." (In truth, he wrote: "All you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act.") Let whatever you're going through lead you back to you to your power and agency. What can you dive into? A book, a bath, bed?

You're doing great, babe.
