Act 1:
I was stirring my new fancy peanut butter just now and it reminded me of the upcoming Full Moon in Scorpio.
You know those fancy peanut butters? Oil at the top. Must stir.
I’m familiar with this from buying almond butter and honestly I don’t like to have to stir although honestly again I tasted this organic peanut butter and it tasted REAL GOOD, better than the cheap stuff!
But I still hate that oil at the top thing, so messy! And I didn’t realize that that was what I was buying from Fairway yesterday.
I found this moment very Full Moon in Scorpio and Pluto-Plenty because you have to STIR and bring the goodies from the bottom to the top, mix the oil in that has settled, and it’s messy, it gets all over your hands, it’s sticky, gross, and making a LEAP right now:
you have to see who you really are under this Moon, or maybe you won’t, as though YOU are a ship passing in the night to YOU, and I am mixing my metaphors at this point 😉 but the bottom line is this.
You must stir even if the only result is more knowledge about what your shadow side is up to, how you push people away instead of bringing them closer in.

Act 2:
I get tired of saying I’m sorry. I was telling someone this the other day.
Some people have a tendency to blame themselves. Others have a tendency to blame others.
And if you’re not careful, if you’re part of the former, others, many others, will come along to agree with you.
The self-blamers often don’t even realize they are blaming themselves. It happens so fast. If something goes wrong or feels unpleasant they assume they are responsible. It’s kind of an… ego response, don’t you think?
Scorpio squares Leo on the wheel, a very interesting square 😉

Act 3:
Ground Rules For Crying For This Full Moon In Scorpio Or Any Full Moon If You Need To Cry Just Cry Don’t Ask For Permission From Anyone Make Sure To Forget The Story Just Cry It Needs Releasing Not Shifting But Release Like Your Tears Are Prisoners Let Them Out Free Them
***
Act 4:
A friend was emailing me that she picked a fight with someone and immediately I thought of Scorpio and Pluto and the “pushing impulse” which is really the impulse to take some control because it can be, well, really scary when dealing with other people and our tender feelings and their big boots.
So we push for definition, answers, and in the process can push people away, depending, when what we really wanted was to be close.
Ugh.
But remember, this blog post is written from the point of view of a person who always blames herself so I am biased in the wrong direction. Biased in the spineless goo direction. Or the other “not my fault” extreme. I do both.
(Shhh here’s a hint, for this Full Moon in Scorpio, from a seemingly contradictory place but that’s how I roll 😉 — allow yourself to have a little Leo, a little ego, don’t be spineless goo, remember you are worth something, you are worth working for, FIGHTING for.)
Isabel Hickey counsels us to be not willful but to surrender to Pluto energy. Yeah right. How easy is that. I tell people the same thing. I learn the same lessons over and over. A message to all Readers: counsel with your heart not your head, even if you have to get down on the floor and cry with someone.
It’s not so simple and yet I push blame all over my face like a mud pack when I know it’s not so simple.
The Full Moon in Scorpio can shine a light on 1. how you manipulate others and 2. how you allow yourself to be manipulated.
Is it ever possible to become free and clean from this? How to take a break. Stop pushing.
Act 5:
Don’t hate yourself said the peanut butter to the oil it created. Don’t hate yourself, said the peanut butter to the mess all over the counter.
Act 6:
Even if you can’t figure out all the reasons why, remember that there were reasons. An entire chain of them. Maybe years of them. Triggers. Triggers upon triggers and you are human and something or someone made you feel unsafe a long time ago. So you built a wall.
The Full Moon in Scorpio is going to bring you the wall in pieces.
Act 7:
What to do with the gunk? Release it. It’s not just about shifting it. It’s about letting it go. Making the cut.
I am going to being this morning with the treadmill. Dedicating each dedicated treadmill foot strike to releasing… self-blame, pain, and lack of glory. And this will carry through to next week when I have my 1st boxing lesson 🙂 and it will continue until May 5th, Full Moon Day.
And then I will be whole again. Like the Moon. I promise.
Make a similar promise to yourself. Start now.

“So we push for definition, answers, and in the process can push people away, depending, when what we really wanted was to be close”
agreed.
A wonderful way to start my day by reading this gorgeous and highly intuitive post.
I am definitely going to be listening to ‘Little Triggers’ by Elvis Costello for the next couple of weeks. When I think of Pluto I definitely think of triggers.
Love, S
Another reflection – I think the other person often can’t admit – whatever it is – because they are not ‘there yet’…it’s like being ahead on the path and illuminating the way..with a massive pluto torch..but the aim would be to do it more gently, nudging not pushing. Will work on it!
and the Pluto torch is a dildo lol no one likes to get fucked w/o their permission (so to speak) — what’s most intense is when you’ve got two people doing this to each other. Ouch. not intense in a good way. It will lead to purging and cleansing but not fun
i smell a blog post coming!!
hmm that would be interesting, cos I know that situation only too well!! (makes me think of Chiron contacts too)
“So we push for definition, answers, and in the process can push people away, depending, when what we really wanted was to be close”
What a beautiful post, it really moved me. The above sentence really resonated. This is the part of my pluto self I have trouble with..I really push people for TRUTH..I have to have it…I need to know the very essence of everything in people’s motivations…and rather than just settling for the fact that I KNOW the true meaning beneath what they are doing/saying/thinking, I want them also to admit it out loud. I have to remember that not everyone can or wants to expose themselves and be vulnerable, that it’s painful and scary. I should be questioning why I can’t just trust my own conviction and leave things at that – does it need affirming? Perhaps I should work on that. I know I make some people feel uncomfortable by pushing and delving, when really I just want to touch them so tenderly and share a beautiful deep truth. People are drawn to it though, it’s like fascination-repulsion I think..like they might fall in and never return (to normal). (thanks, this really made me think about things!)
I totally hear what you’re saying here. I do the same. There’s all this tenderness and love and longing underneath this probing destructive urge to delve and turn things inside out.
and that’s exactly it! WE KNOW the truth already. we just want them to admit it. We feel the truth.
WOW Aliza, you HIT every thought/s I have been either thinking about, being angry about or hiding underneath all my interior walls. The manipulations and blame…RIGHT ON! I do have a question…how do I find my full moon in scorpio? I know from my personalized chart I have scorpio in Ascending and Saturn…so what exactly would that mean for me personally? ( if you don’t mind helping me out with this) I love the idea of letting it all go, the act of crying. I have not actually cried, cried in I don’t know how long. It’s all been pent up emotions in anger, frustration and isolation….but to cry…..man that actually sounds so good right now (in a weird way?) The idea of pushing for answers in order to be closer and in fact pushing people further away is what I feel like I have been doing for the past couple of months…lately I have let it all go and not really communicated with anyone as of late…or it’s been on superficial terms that I felt had no real emotions involved…..everything you said here was spot on and I really digged this post. Thank you…I needed this today. In fact I think I might actually go cry my eyes out over some things I have been meaning to release for quite some time now, after my final of course ; )
you have to find 15 degrees scorpio in your chart. it’s either your 12th or 1st house, depending on the degree of your ascendent…
