A full moon in Scorpio brings hidden feelings to the surface. Its power will illuminate subconscious patterns - and shake your emotional memories to the core. Be aware of this! This will be a time when you are forced to face your shadow side.
What is a “shadow side" or “shadow self "?
In the field of psychology, a shadow is a term used to refer to the parts within us that we may try to hide or deny. The name was originally coined and explored by Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung.
It comprises the aspects of our personality that we tend to deem shameful, unacceptable, or ugly. It can be envy, jealousy, rage, lust, desire for power or the wounds incurred in childhood – all of those we keep hidden. And no matter what anyone says, everyone has a dark side to their personality.
Jung believes that when the human Shadow is shunned, it tends to sabotage our lives. Repressing or suppressing one’s shadow can result in addictions, low self-esteem, mental illness, chronic illnesses, and various neuroses.
Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. – Carl Jung
