Welcome to Stardust Stereo, the station that helps you navigate your life using astrology. The Divine science. I'm Parker McPhinney. I'm your host, and I'm here to help you navigate through this very complex time that were currently in. I'm a professional astrologer. I've been reading the stars for three decades, and it's absolutely my passion. 

I've  started this podcast help educate and uplift people, and give them a sense of hope in these times, that really do feel a little bit chaotic  and uncertain. And astrology is a tool that we can use, to truly understand ourselves better and understand the cycles that work currently living in. And, what I really wish to do today, is to start off this podcast talking about the full moon, which is going to be exact tomorrow. May 7th 2020, and it will be exact in Los Angeles at 3:45 a.m. Pacific Daylight time. In this full moon is it's going to be in the sign of Scorpio, and Scorpio has that reputation of being ooh, all about sexuality, but in truth, all the signs are about sexuality. Scorpio gets that reputation because it is so intense and everything that it does. 

So, this full moon that's happening tomorrow will be reflective of that intensity that Scorpio always carries with it. The Scorpio Zodiac sign is also about transformation, and full moons are always about shedding light on areas and that we have not been having clarity with, and since in this full moon cycle, it's tied to the beginning, which was the new moon in Taurus, which happened on April 23rd, which of course, seems like a couple of lifetimes ago, because we're in the zone of being home bound, and I don't know about you, but some days I wake up, and I have to  look at the written material to remember what day it. 

So, as we're all sort of trying to find ground to stand on, and learning how to live through this pandemic,  that in has just been so brutal in so many ways. In and there, so many people that have had a tremendous amount of loss and our hearts go out to them. My heart goes out to them and I'm sure your heart goes out to them to,If you do any reading on the news. You can't be unaware of the suffering that so many people on the planet have gone through, are continuing to go through.  And it's my astrological prediction, that we're going to be traveling this road a little bit longer, and we're gonna learn, and we're gonna grow.

And this full moon will shed light on what you no longer need. That's the nature of full moons in general, shedding light on what  needs to be let go. Perhaps, something that you started with that new moon cycle on April 23rd, is now going through the phase of reevaluation. Is that, that- project that I started, that relationship that I started, whatever was happening around that time for you in April, 23rd, (is it going OK?) The full moon is now going to call upon you to review, reflect and let go of what is not working and do a reset. You know, a reassessment of what your needs are now at this moment.

Or how this full moon will also encourage you to dig a little deeper into your life, and ask yourself some of the big questions, like THE big question. Why am I here? Um, it's my belief that  America, in general, is going through a deeply spiritual awakening, through an extremely harsh, awareness that money and monetary things -can just suddenly be dissolve, because we've lost our jobs and we're unemployed.  Hopefully we're not sick on top of it. So were in a phase astrological of truly asking, truly asking ourselves- what is important to me now in my existence on this planet. And how can I create my life in a way that's more in line with what I believe now? 

Because a natural affect of all that we have gone through since January, and in America, especially since March, when we truly began to understand the level that this disease, this virus, that we have no cure for, was going to take on our country on our nation. And it's heartbreaking. So, as our hearts break open, positive spin- because I always look for what, where can I find this light in all this sadness and all this suffering? 

The  positive that we can find is that- when your hearts break open, you truly can start to get real with yourself and everybody in your life about what's important to you. And, this is the perfect time to begin to do that.

Another thing that I would like to say about this full moon is that, um, being in Scorpio, it's in a water sign,  it's going to be an emotional, moon. It's going to be, with deep emotions, that if you allow yourself to go through, and process can take you to this new awareness and new feelings and picking up on,  old relationships that maybe you had let go.  It also would probably have an additional effect of- if you have recently experienced a loss of a loved one, the grieving process will truly be in to show itself, if you allow.

Grief is very much its own wave. Of  it's own ocean- we could say, and it comes in waves.  And this full moon truly highlights a wave of grief and a wave of also how we can keep our heads above water, how we can keep from drowning in our sadness, in our sorrow, in our confusion. 

And I'm not one to shy away from the heavy, the heavy suggestions that stars bring to us. So I'd also like to say that during this time it's important that you separate yourself from, maybe the news. Maybe, You know, just watch that news one time a day, not every hour on the hour, because that can pull your energy down.  Where this is coming from, is that- that Scorpio Moon is in an opposition to a Taurus Sun. And it's in opposition to a Taurus Mercury. So it's perfect for really reflecting- is the information that I'm getting feeding me? Helping me rise to the occasion, or is it pulling me down and and having me feel as if I am drowning, or that my feet are clay and that I can't forward?  

So a great use of this moon would be to allow your creativity to be expressed, even in small little doses, because Scorpio was very much about creating its- Its motto is, I create,  it shares that with Leo. But the creating that Scorpio does is creating two completely re -invent yourself, and so many people will be doing this now.

And in addition to reinventing yourself, we have some beautiful aspects that will happen as the full moon grows over these next few days. It  peaks. But then it's still in Scorpio after it's already completed its opposition to the sun. And then it will move on and it will make an opposition to first Mercury.  And then it will make an opposition, to well-- actually first before the the next opposition it will make a beautiful trine to Neptune-  That will allow you to dream. Spend some time dreaming, and I would suggest definitely taking time out and imagining in your mind, even fantasizing in your perfect world- what's the next step that you take in your life in order to be able to survive? Because it is about survival.  There's a funny saying with Scorpios and astrologers, the last people standing on the Earth, will be the Scorpions,  because we have this ability to withstand. I'm a sun sign. Scorpio, so I say, this with complete confidence, we have the ability to withstand enormous harshness and get back up and reinvent. And this is something that's not going to be limited to people with Scorpio Sun signs. It's something that all of us on the planet are going to be forced to do- at some time during this year, reinventing and so now is the perfect time to start. 

So I'd also like to convey that the Scorpio moon (the zodiac sign-Scorpio) has two rulers. It has a traditional ruler of Mars, and it has a modern ruler of Pluto. You can think of the ruler (of all signs) as a kind of like the mascot.

And Scorpio, with the traditional ruler of Mars, is in a harsh relationship with Moon in the sky. Right now that Scorpio Moon  is in a square to Mars in the sky. So it would be perfect, really normal, for you to have some resistance to everything I'm saying. So that's perfectly cool and great, too. So if you need to take a time out and say, Well, that's great that there's a full moon and Parker McPhinney, the  astrologer is saying that I've got to reinvent , and use this time to rise above and not drowned. That's all true, but  never ever forget that you are the master of your ship. And if you don't feel like reinventing right now, then you just put that anchor down and you stare at those waves or the wall- because we're all  housebound -so we can't go to the beach. 

So, with  also a Moon square Mars that is also a configuration that gives sort of angst energy, which can be utilized in a really terrific  way. So, if you do get a little bit of inspiration and you remove from yourself any perfection mode- or it" has to be this way or has to be that way", or I must do this -you you let all that go and fall to the wayside and just let yourself be with what you're creating. Say- you're painting or your sewing masks, or you're writing a short story, or you're cleaning a closet, or your disinfecting the entire house. You know, just letting yourself be" OK"  as you move through this time, and take breaks, you know.  Don't make things that don't go right, be perfect, like changed thinking if it's in that way, changed thinking to, ah, sort of mode of operation of anything goes. 

But the key factor is to move yourself emotionally in a little steps. If you can, to help, help not stay in the funk. Because staying in the funk indefinitely will pull your energy down, and it's really not fun.  It is not productive on any long term basis. Short terms of being in the funk are necessary and needed. And I also call my downtime or my white space. I'm in white space and staring at the White Wall. Don't know what  I'm gonna do. And in those times when I don't don't know, it allows the creative juices or the ideas to kind of fly into the consciousness. And if you have your antenna, then in the collective consciousness, there's ideas floating around all the time. And whoever has their antenna up latches onto it and maybe can get a glimpse of inspiration. 

Maybe that inspiration is to be a do- gooder and help others, and be a support system of helping the essential workers. You know, maybe even just get some blank post cards and send them off to your favorite governor.  The governors that are just working so hard to give us a sense of structure, security and a safe path. And I want to do a shout out to Governor Cuomo, because I think he is awesome. And you know, Governor Newsom is awesome as well. But for astrological reasons, Governor Cuomo, I get him and he is a great communicator. Despite yesterday, saying in his briefing that he didn't think he communicated Well, I have to say I disagree!

  All right, So back to the Scorpio full moon, then another technique of what we can do to utilizes energy is I make, unless during the full moons what I want to get rid of and what's not working. I mean, there's something about tangibly writing down what I no longer need. And also, since full moons are a cycle of letting go on, getting rid of, it's a great time to maybe cleaned out a drawer. Maybe you some great old fabric that you don't want to use and you know a mask maker down the street and you donate it. There's multitudes of ways in which we can share and at the same time get rid of what we are no longer using and make it available for somebody else that could use it.

The other thing that I want to say about this, Scorpio full moon is that as its opposition to mercury happens, try not to get into arguing with people that disagree with your perspective. And that's so easy to do, right now, and I'm actually even at fault of it as well.  It's far more elevating in your consciousness and in the world, to allow others to disagree, and yet - within reason, you know, like, let's just keep it in perspective. I want to say disagreeing as long as they're not causing harm anybody else. So people were causing harm to others that definitely, uh, like, we've got to stand up and say, NO, this is not gonna be happening. We gotta change this. So but in just simple disagreements, allowing that person to have their say and then moving on, not hanging on to the fact that the whole world doesn't agree with you Because, really, in fact, the world would be really boring if every single person thought is exactly the same way as we do individually, you know? 

So expect during this full moon, with the opposition to mercury, that you're probably gonna encounter a lot of people that have ah, different ideas. And the main thing that really screams out to me is this differing  perspectives on whether or not we should reopen. I personally feel that- and I am a feeling person- and this moon is about feelings. So there's feelings involved with logic. But I feel that looking at the stars, if we opens too soon, too fast, we're gonna be in big trouble. So what you can do to protect yourself is just being diligent. Be diligent wear your gloves, wear your mask, don't go out too much, If you don't have to.  If you have to go out, then don't let your guard down of safety. You know, making yourself safe and making other safe, as we navigate and discover what reopening is going to look like for each individual state.

The other thing that's coming up with this Scorpio Moon is that it will be like I said earlier, making a trine to Neptune, so it can actualize our dreams, our hopes, our wishes. It's great for making music. Music is also extremely healing.  I would, I would definitely suggest- in along the lines of any creating you do, also allow yourself (to create music) if you're a musician. Certainly it's a great time to speak jamming, even if you're just jamming in the living room or singing in the shower or listening to, you know, to music. There so many online services now that are really offering operas, musicals. And you know it's it's really a beautiful thing that shows how communities coming together, to help us navigate and have lighter moments in this incredible chaotic unsure time. 

Now, the final aspect that the full moon  will be making, the final two aspects it will make. It will make, a beautiful sextile to Pluto. It's other ruling planet. Let's clarify this for you. Mars, is the co- ruler because in the olden days they hadn't yet discovered Pluto. And so that mascot of  Mars was associated with Scorpio . Then in today, modern times, Pluto is associate as well with Scorpio.

And so, the moon will actually make a beautiful relationship with Pluto. So your exploration of your inner needs, and the deep inside moments of when you get super still- I highly recommend this--- having at least five minutes every day, and a lot more, if possible, where you just let everything fall away and you listen to your breath.  You listen to your breath as if it's the ocean tide coming in and coming out, and that can put you in a trance like state. And when you go in that trance like state, it's it's a meditative state we'll just call it trance-like. When you go into it, what can happen is your mind chatter stops or goes to such a slow speed that in can zoom the idea or in can zoom the solution to an issue that you have been dealing with.

What's been having to me a lot-  is in zooms people that I love that maybe have lost touch with like, Oh, check in with that person, make sure they're okay. You know, it's when we quiet that mind chatter that we get to our innermost true self, the part that's made of stardust! And we have more clarity, and it gives a sense of peace.  So, that moon in sextile to Pluto can help you find that sweet spot. 

And then the final aspect that the full moon will be making to a planet is- Jupiter. So it's making a beautiful sextile, also to Jupiter, because Jupiter's in Capricorn. Pluto and Jupiter are both in Capricorn, and they're hanging out together. And that full moon, the Scorpio moon, when it gets to the 27th degree.  When it gets to the 27th degree of Scorpio, it will be making an excellent aspect to Jupiter that is Capricorn in the sky. 

And so what we say in astrology when we a look to the last aspect that the moon makes before it leaves the sign-  that indicates the ending. It's sort of like looking at- is that dot at the end of the sentence, going to be a smooth, clean dot or is it gonna be kind of like a messy dot? Or is it going to be a dot that we can't even see cause my pencil didn't  get down to the paper? It all depends on the last aspect, that the moon  makes to a planet, to indicate the endings that will be done during that particular moon cycle. 

So that moon in a beautiful sextile to Jupiter says- Hang onto your belief.  Hang on to your belief.  Let your belief system go deeper. Your philosophy, whatever tools that you have that give you a sense of peace  If you can investigate deeper in and go deeper with them at this time, during this full moon cycle, it will aid you. It will nourish you. It will truly give you some moments of light, to see possible paths that you can navigate and get that boat out of the deep waters and into a calm lake.  Where you can then just rest, at peace in the inside emotions of knowing that we are going to make it through this time. And we will make it through this time by being loving, by being helpful, and by being calm, and and embracing ourselves and do your psychic hugging embracing since we have six degrees of separation combined with six feet of separation. 

The last thing that I'd like to leave you with is that- remember you are made of stardust! 
So go shine!
