Every 13 to 19 months the moon cycle flips, so that the Full Moon comes before the new Moon in a sign. During these months, things feel out of synch. It's not bad, just out of harmony – more like the difference between major and minor chords in music. The usual cycle is reversed. When a Full Moon comes in a sign before the New Moon, we have to take what's already been realized and make something new of it. We must become conscious first and then give our instincts room to play. So it feels more difficult and needs more consciousness. Did you feel like that for the past year and a half? As if there wasn't an easy flow to your life?
This Scorpio Full Moon will end the present reversed Moon cycle that began on September 22, 2006 with the second New Moon (a solar eclipse) at 29 Virgo. Starting with the Taurus New Moon on May 5th the cycle will revert back to 'normal' with another Full Moon at 29+ Scorpio on May 19-20. For the first time since July 21, 2005 we will have what is really a blue moon - two Full Moons in the same astrological sign - which is probably the original Blue Moon. What special significance would two full moons in a calender month have? It is special, however, to have two full moons in an astrological sign – signifying a shift in the cycle and an emphasis on the two archetypes constellated by these signs .
So when the shift happens, it concentrates energy in two signs, either as two new moons or as two full moons. This time it shifts in the signs of Taurus and Scorpio, the two signs that deal with life and death, summer and winter, values and worth-both inner and outer, acquisition and letting go, security and change.
