Full Moon coming early May. Sun in Taurus faces full-on Moon in Scorpio. Let’s say Taurus is what you have, and Scorpio is what you want. You could take some time to look at what you have, to feel the fullness of life, the love, the beauty, the excitement. And you can get in touch with what you want, what you aspire to, what is missing, that which if you only could get it would complete you and finally make you happy. Yearning for more, for better, for peace can create stress and unhappiness, looking too far into the future, or worrying about a future where you might not get what you want.

I personally spent much of my adult life questing for enlightenment and peace, only to eventually realize a portion of those wonderful experiences when I gave up the quest!

We can be present in the abundance of now, and still be energized toward what could be, without subtracting from the fullness of the current moment. That’s the creative tension that mobilizes your abilities toward fulfillment. But another kind of tension is the conflict between what you have now and what you think you need to get in the future. Frustration and stress. Words in our mind can taunt us with judgements of incompletion, failure, and pessimism, saying “not yet” or “forget it” to your desire for happiness.

In the sweet completion energy of this Full Moon, when what you have is in perfect complimentary balance with what you want, you can enjoy a really rich sense of contentment, fullness and wholeness. What you want is what you already have!
