Full Moon Scorpio and Pluto Retrograde

Lua Tarot and Lenormand Cards

Full Moon is exact tonight at 8:31pm PT (11:31pm ET). This Moon’s influence is under Scorpio, which is associated with the Tarot’s Death card—the Child of the Great Transformers and the Lord of the Gate of Death. 

Scorpio’s ruling planet is Pluto and Pluto goes Retrograde tomorrow (1:03pm PDT) for 6 months. ALSO: The USA has been in the thick of its first Pluto Return, currently 26° Capricorn (within 1° orb of US’s exact natal Pluto). 

---

Pluto Return is a rare transit, it happens ONCE every 247 years. When astrologers talk about it, it’s often in reference to an event, or in this case, the USA’s founding (July 4, 1776). Its Pluto Return will be exact on Feb 20, 2022.   

If you’re interested in reading more about what Pluto Return means for the USA, I wrote more in depth about it in this post. 

I’ll just say quickly here that Pluto transits are powerful times, which are evolutionary, intense, transformative, and healing. 

It has not been easy, but Pluto transits rarely are. Pluto offers evolutionary shifts. It can be emotional and intense times, and even destructive, but his archetype is Death AND Rebirth. It’s Transformational AND Cyclical. 

Pluto is known as the Great Redeemer, but as god of the underworld, he forces the death of old paradigms. Teaching us the lessons of Death: to let die what must die, so something new in its place can seed, grow, and live fully.

The Death card in the photo is from the Lua Tarot; the Moon and Snake cards are from the Lua Lenormand. There are still a few Lua Tarot decks left in stock. The Lua Lenormand is coming back to the shop soon!
