What this lunation illuminates
A full moon in Scorpio stirs the depths, the intensity, what is not easily said, while the Sun in Taurus recalls the need for security and calm. What was buried rises to be seen.
Days to look squarely at what is working on you, and to let an old skin fall away gently.
The Vedic layer: Vishakha
Your Moon moves through Vishakha, the forked branch reaching towards a goal. A patient determination lives in you: your karma learns to aim true, to choose its direction without scattering itself between two desires.
