2009 Scorpio Full Moon
Article by Michael Beard
This is the time of the Scorpio full moon. Mars, a sixth ray planet, the ray of devotion and idealism (fanaticism on the lower level), rules in the sign Scorpio on both the exoteric and the esoteric sides. Mars is all about dynamism and energy; it rules the blood stream and circulation, or motion, throughout our system.
On the lower level, or the level of identification with the outer life, Mars influences the solar plexus center where fear, anger and unconscious reactions control our life.
When we begin to respond to the higher vibration of the sixth ray, and we become dedicated to manifesting an ideal or a higher virtue, such as selfless love or beauty, the energy and circulation of our system shifts, and the fire begins to rise toward the heart center.
This is where we discover that Mars rules the psychic energy. If we respond to it, we take control of the conscious power to shift our awareness into a higher sphere, and a level of focus where we are no longer controlled by fear, anger or doubt. We no longer blame others for our circumstances on any level, and we take conscious control over our own evolutionary progress. This is the moment that defines the battle in the sign Scorpio, for we are battling to define our own reality based on consciously applied higher principals.
In the book Hierarchy, #170 by Helena Roerich, Master Morya states:
Construction requires intensified tension. Without this impulse it is impossible to build the steps of evolution.
The energy of Scorpio, working through Mars, provides the dynamism to build that intensified tension. That intensified tension is actually built by the higher ideals which we are responding to. It takes dynamic focus and tension to live in the higher ideals. When we keep that higher tension, we build the higher spheres. When we fight against the higher inspiration, we build the lower spheres.
This is why Scorpio is such an important sign at this time. From one perspective, if you are fighting to bring positive change, you are, in essence, a Scorpio. This is because Scorpio is the sign in which the Spiritual Warrior is born.
When you make the decision to follow the path of truth and light, the battle begins and Scorpio will influence you. This is the sign in which you draw the line in the sand and say “I am here to help build the higher spheres!”
In other words, you are fighting to bring your inner reality into outer expression.
