5.16.22 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio
“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.” ~Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Ice-Olation + The Devil + Two of Swords = What has to be felt now is whatever we have buried deep inside us long ago that we have forgotten. It will come up and out of isolation now. There will be an emotional release and a unification of split off parts of our psyche. Expressing your feelings is part of the cleansing process and letting it all out will help you move on to better times. Allow yourself the opportunity to experience these emotions, no matter how painful. Cry, shout, or scream at the top of your lungs. Do whatever it takes to express your anger or pain as this will help the emotions flow through (and out of) you. This is deep shadow work that will make us face and let go of any negative habits, dependencies, behaviors, thought patterns, relationships, and addictions. Do not get tempted into that path of instant gratification and sell your soul for short term relief instead of doing the work for long term healing. You are at a crossroads and will be faced with making a decision on how to proceed or what direction to take. Use both your head and heart to choose the path that is most in alignment with your Higher Self. Take some time to reflect because you can't see the whole picture yet or there is information that hasn't arrived yet. What you were blinded to before will be revealed now.
Queen of Coins + Six of Cups + The Rebel = This passage is about revisiting the past and remembering some lost memories. We are invited to get in touch with our inner child but also again this theme around "reparenting". The Queen of Pentacles may represent a mother figure in your life who can provide you with loving support and nurturing to help you get through the influences of your past. She may be a teacher, a counsellor, a mentor or someone who you are very close to. Alternatively, she may represent a part of you. The rebel appears in the spread yet again. And it is the father figure, the emperor in traditional tarot and he has the power and authority to break the chains of society's repressive conditioning and oppressive ideology. We recreate ourselves by embracing all of life's experiences - even the painful ones, emerging from the dark and formless roots of our unconscious past and growing into our natural state. That is true rebellion--not fighting against anybody or anything, but discovering our own true nature and being determined to live in accordance with it. The Rebel challenges us to be courageous enough to take responsibility for who we are and to live our truth.
