In the spirit of all things spooky, energy speaks louder than words, and astrology proves there are synchronicities beyond your imagination. In the case of Halloween, for instance. What are the odds that this holiday happens takes place right in the middle of Scorpio season? Governed by powerful Pluto — Lord of the Underworld, and planet of death, sex, taboo, transformation, and everything lingering beneath the surface — Scorpio is the perfect hybrid of the darkest dark and the lightest light. There are no gray areas when it comes to this fixed water sign, which is why its polarizing energy is so difficult to comprehend.
Whether you celebrate Halloween or honor the dead at Samhain, Scorpio season is the time to do so. According History, Samhain was celebrated from Oct. 31 through Nov. 1 as a way of welcoming in the harvest, and the darker half of the year. The Celtics believe it's the only day in the year where the barriers between the physical world and the spirit world can be dissolved. Please note: This is all very important to keep in mind during this lunation. Full moons are powerful on their own, so when you integrate the rarity of it also being a blue moon, on the eeriest night of the year, it means something.
Full moons are a call for balance. The moon — symbolic of the divine feminine — sitting proudly across from the sun — a symbol of the sacred masculine and the greatest source of energy — is powerful beyond words. This is precisely why full moons are so climactic and revealing. This lunar phase never ceases to bring what's hidden to light. and with the sun in Scorpio — symbolic of the underworld — opposing the moon in Taurus — a representation of Mother Earth — this lunation is speaking to the cycle of life and death.
To top it off, this full moon will also conjunct Uranus, at the exact same degree, so shocking is an understatement. The "Great Awakener," and the planet of chaos, revolution, and unexpected change, it's safe to say that the shocking revelations stemming from this full moon will make history. Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it isn't there, and this year's full (blue) moon conjunct Uranus on All Hallow's Eve will prove it.
