Tuesday the 27th of April isn’t only Kingsday here in The Netherlands - it’s also the date on which the Full Moon appears in the sky. At 5:31 AM, this Super Full Moon in Scorpio will appear, marking a milestone of the new cycle. This full moon is opposite Uranus, and in astrology, we relate that to unexpected changes and events, impulsiveness, and even rebelliousness.

Full Moon Meaning

A Full Moon occurs when the moon is opposite the sun. These opposing forces can influence your life and lead to internal tensions such as between what you want and what your soul actually needs.

During the time of a Full Moon, our emotions and intuition reach their peak. We will be likely to feel more emotional and our intimate relationships come more into the center of our attention. This increased emotional strength can help us deal with challenges in our personal life or in relationships.

Super Pink Moon

This full moon is anything but average. It carries not one, but two additional titles: Pink Full Moon and Super Moon. A Super Moon is a rare event that occurs when the moon is especially close to the earth, so the moon will appear larger than usual.

In addition, this moon deserves the Pink Moon title because it falls in the sign of Scorpio. Native American folklore named this moon as such because it symbolizes the blooming of Spring flowers. It is meant to believe that Pink Moons are more intense and emotional than most. This can result in beautiful epiphanies, but also a bad mood. You might feel a little bit more on edge and unstable with your emotions because the moon is so close to the Earth.



What to Expect?

Full Moon Opposite Uranus : Unpredictability

Uranus’ influence can make us all a bit more impulsive than usual. Sudden changes, unexpected events and mood swings might leave you feeling anxious and unsettled. We’re all going to need to ask ourselves to trust our gut and wit when it comes to decision-making. Perhaps we all desperately seek some excitement - but realize this might not be the best time to act on a whim. Let it rest for a few nights to really let it sink in before jumping to conclusions. If you’re not careful, you might damage your intimate relationships in the process.

Full Moon Square Saturn : Sadness

Unfortunately, there might come a time in this Full Moon’s energy where we feel restricted and depressed. Especially when it comes to relationships - as it might feel harder to emotionally connect with others. Be wary of emotions such as sadness, guilt, grief and loneliness. It’s okay to acknowledge them and let them pass through you for a while but don’t forget that these feelings shall pass.

Full Moon Trine Mars : Courage

If there’s one thing we need this Full Moon, it’s courage! Luckily, Mars brings us lots of emotional strenght, passion, initiative and courage. Your intuition will know that where there is a wish, there is a way. You will manage to sound assertive and direct without being bossy or rude - traits that can really help you move forward! Thanks to Mars, we’re sure we will all overcome the challenges thrown at us.

Mercury Square Saturn : (Mis)communication

You might be at risk of miscommunicating due to feelings such as negative thinking, self-criticism and arguments. That’s why you need to pay extra close attention to detail and - if necessary - seek advice from wise people you trust will give you their honest opinion. If you’re still in doubt about how to communicate your plan, seek help from a real expert. Especially if it has something to do with legal or business matters.



Venus Square Saturn : Tensed Love

It might be harder for you to share your affections these days. Perhaps you feel shy, distanced or other restrictions blocking your path to love. Most likely, these obstacles are the creation of your own fears but it’s also possible that you’ve become the victim of guilt trips. Try not to be so hard for yourself and be more accepting of the love others give you.


In Summary

This Full Moon is giving us quite some challenges to deal with. Our increased emotions can make us impulsive and at risk to jump the gun to quickly. Feelings of sadness might creep up on us and our relationships might be damaged. It is therefore very important to trust the power of Mars with our courage. Keep on breathing when you feel down and take it one step at a time. In a few days, you might see everything brightly again so stay strong!
