The Phoenix Motel languishes at the end of a long dusty highway, the bugs on your windscreen betraying how hard and fast the drive has been. The rooms are filling quickly as they always do this time of year. The smart money is getting locked in for the scorpion's moon.

Like all big blindsiding nights, the Scorp full moon has a tendency to leave us with a whopping emotional hangover. She certainly raised the dead, ripped back the covers or dragged us under our sight line.

The Scorpio full moon is one of the most deliciously intense. This year courting transformation on a seismic scale. Scorp is an unashamed power player unrivalled in its ability to raise the dead, tickle the underbelly and shake up the unsettled within us. This supermoon at close range only magnifies its potency.

Depth charge anyone? Tis nearly time to dance with your darkness in the pale moonlight, if you have not already been occupying the shadowlands as a lifestyle of late. The incoming Scorpio full moon is built on ruthless regeneration provided you can live and let die.

The moon in Scorpio for more than two days (one down, more than one to go) is certainly causing a ripple in the matrix. Lady Luna is not at her most comfortable here and largely speaking, neither are we. The vibe is challenging as our shadow buttons are pressed and our little demons hanker to run about unchecked.

The intensity of the Scorpio full moon is in full throttle and her beams are searing through us. If you woke this morning gnashing your teeth or sobbing at the awful news or at breaking point know that Lady Lune is doing her good work on you.

The Scorpio full moon is on the rise. The time is nigh to dance with your denizens in the pale moonlight. Yes in this economy. Excuses have run out. If you have never bravely stepped toward your own shadow, preferring instead to select a saccharine excuse or point the finger all too quickly at everyone else's dark side, this Scorptastic lunation will make short work of your unholy two step.
