The Full Moon in Scorpio will occur Thursday, April 25 at 3:57 pm Eastern (7:57 pm GMT) at 6 degrees. Full Moons represent the culmination of those things that were begun with the New Moon (in this case the April 10 New Moon in Aries), which found us focusing on our self-confidence and drive. The Scorpio Full Moon opposes the Sun in Taurus; we are reminded to check ourselves in the progress we made towards our goals set during the Aries New Moon. Have we begun a more healthy approach to our lives through making goals? Are we being too stubborn (Taurus) in our ways, and have mindsets that need to be let go? Are we pushing ourselves too hard or too fast (Scorpio) and need to slow

If you think you're cowardly when, in fact, you are actually brave, you might spend many days, months, or years trying to become brave when it's a quality you already have.* Surely this is one of the reasons the concept of "Know Thyself" is so important—you can't decide on your goals (where you

Kirk - "Is he dead?"  McCoy -"it's worse than that Jim, his brain's gone." The above dialog comes from the first episode of the third season of the original Star Trek. The episode was first shown in 1968, was the first episode in the "we'll put this show here to die" time slot of 10:00 p.m. on Fridays, and demonstrated the "quality" of their new, lower budget. It's generally considered one of the worst of all the original episodes. Two of the stars, Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner, have stated that they didn't like it.
