In the Astroshamanic Binary System Sun in Taurus (2) and Moon in Scorpio (8) constitute Binary 2.8, or Binary number 20.
2.8 integrates the practicality, stability and resourcefulness of Taurus with the intensity, passion and magnetism of Scorpio. This binary inspires dramatic, energetic and charismatic beings, with a firm self-confidence and an unconditional adherence to their highest intent, which in some ways is also their lowest. The Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio create a fertile environment for any endeavor that involves the use of the life force with an intensity that lies far beyond the boundaries of what is tolerable in consensual reality. This allows motivated people to take risks and difficult situations in order to test their resilience in the pursuit of their intent.
Binary 2.8 is related to the conventionally unspeakable mystery of what underlies sexuality and the process of physical manifestation of existence. This involves the awareness of immense taboos and the emergence of values inaccessible to ordinary consciousness.
This space of knowledge is impenetrable until you can create emptiness within yourself. This can happen if you put aside all the absurd information you have filled your mind with in order to repress the devastating ignorance that characterizes human existence. Nicolás Gómez Dávila (2.8) writes: “In an age where the mass media spreads countless stupidities, the wise person is not distinguished by what he knows, but by what he does not know”.
In this world, ignorance about our nature is accepted as normal, so we do not see others and ourselves for what they really are. We identify with separate physical bodies, incessantly concerned with their own survival, fighting with others or seeking temporary alliances with others to compete with others. Those who are totally immersed in this separate reality live in ignorance and illusion, they do not know who they are, nor have any interest in understanding it. Yet, they continually oppose wisdom, knowledge, the presumption of knowing how things are, self-confidence. Eoin Colfer (2.8) writes: “Self-confidence is ignorance, if you feel conceited, there is something you do not know”.
You may feel frustrated because you do not know who you really are and what to do with your life. So you remain in uncertainty while around you there are people who are very clear about who they are, what they want and what they do in life. Maybe you are not aware that not knowing who you are and what you do in life gives you a maximum advantage. First of all, it leaves all possibilities open to find out. Secondly, and certainly the most important point, this is ultimately the reality of human life. We do not know who we are and what we do in life. Nobody knows! However, many people pretend to know. So by openly admitting that you do not know who you are and what you do in life, you demonstrate honesty, sincerity and authenticity with yourself and with everyone. You are definitely a very wise and gifted person in this world! And you have a lot to teach others.
In particular, if you feel strongly about your hostility or estrangement from this world, if you perceive your earthly presence as an unjust injustice that deprives you of your freedom and condemns you to suffering and death, you can openly express what you feel. Rather than promoting the hypocrisy of the exaltation of physical life or pain intended as a way of atonement, you can choose to reveal your opposition to the situation in which you find yourself. Hans Jonas (2.8) writes:
“Life has been thrown into the world, light into darkness, the soul into the body. It expresses the original violence done to me in making me be where I am and what I am, the passivity of my choiceless emergence into an existing world that I did not create and whose law is not mine”.
This is a full moon binary in which the qualities of Taurus and Scorpio concentrate copious energy aimed at prompt creative expression. The part of Taurus emphasizes the pragmatic, physical and constructive side, while the element of Scorpio emphasizes the deep emotional and transformational currents that are the raw material of every relevant manifestation. In this context, intense emotions with a wide frequency coverage can easily explode and be released for the highest good or directed towards specific practical results.
The Full Moon in Scorpio is known in some Buddhist countries as Wesak: the birthday, enlightenment and entry into Nirvana of the Buddha. In this sense it is considered the most powerful Full Moon of the year. It is said that it was on the night of the full moon in Scorpio that Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree and achieved total enlightenment. According to certain traditions, the Buddha returns every year to dispense healing light to the world. Spiritual masters led by Christ gather in the Wesak Valley, a mythical multidimensional place in the Himalayas, and position themselves in a vast pentagram, while the Buddha radiates light. It is believed that during the five-day period of the Full Moon, which includes two days before and after the day of the exact Full Moon, direct contact can be made with the Great Masters and the Forces of Light that sustain the planet.
On this Full Moon in Scorpio, many seekers around the world unite in meditation or ritual events, releasing the veil from their limitations and becoming receptive to their multidimensional nature. The day of this Full Moon is known as the Day of Safeguarding, which consists of retaining the energy generated by the alignment with our multidimensional nature. The two days following the Full Moon are called the Days of Distribution, which involve the passage of the accumulated energy into the web of life.
The Full Moon in Scorpio is the height of mystery, darkness and all the most controversial, denied and repressed aspects of life, such as sex and death. Our life is the result of a sexual union, whereas the end of life is the consequence of death. Sex and death are intimately linked, they are the breath and the portal of life, inside and outside of it. A door has two facades, two sides, two hemispheres, like the earth, the moon and everything that is visible. When you see and recognize only one side, then your vision, your knowledge becomes denial, exclusion, separation. You live an autistic life, based on fear of what you have excluded, of what surrounds you, inside and outside of you. But this will not last forever, and you know it well. Sooner or later you will confront the hidden side of life, with what creates fear in you. The confrontation with the most hidden and dark aspects of life and death, with what causes the greatest fear, with your shadow side is the only decisive step on the path to healing and peace.
To take this decisive step, every day, full moon or not, can be decisive. So now, just like at any time of the year, you can choose to take a significant step toward the mystery, toward that which you fear only because you do not know it, and cease, I do not say forever, but even just for a moment, to be afraid! And if you are able to cease being afraid even for a moment, then that moment will continue to exist forever in your memory, and there will be no more fear.
In the third dimension, in physical reality, you can only be in a certain place and with certain people at a given time. So all the other places and all the other people who were in the past or who will be in the future, are not there. The problem is that in the fourth dimension, in astral and emotional reality, there are both the place and the physical people of the present, and all the places and people where and with whom you have lived in the past and where and with whom you will live in the future, not to mention all the equivalents in every parallel universe.
Wolfgang Borchert (2.8) writes: “We are full of encounters, encounters without duration and without saying goodbye, like the stars. They come closer, stay next to each other for a few light seconds and then leave again: without leaving any trace, without ties, without saying goodbye”.
If you are a sensitive and multidimensionally open person, when you are in a place and with one or more people in the present, you will feel the influence of other places and people. This can cause great confusion, agitation and emotional inflation, especially in conjunction with full moons or other energetic factors. Sometimes, it is a matter of saying “Enough! Leave me alone!” and firmly withdrawing into a space of silence and peace.

They have an enormous social responsibility and it cannot be their mental conviction that allows them to infect the rest of society and force it into a cloistered life”, “Since we were born we have been taught that appearing is more important than being. And to this terrible dogma we have sacrificed our body, charging it with representing what we are not properly, or we have even avoided knowing”; “love is not possession, because possession does not tend to the good of the other, nor to loyalty towards the other, but only to the maintenance of the relationship, which, far from guaranteeing happiness, which is always in the search and knowledge of oneself, sacrifices it in exchange for security”, “Crossed by sexuality, the Ego gives up its limit to reaffirm it at a higher level.

Marie Corelli (2.8/7) (Mary Mackay) (London, May 1, 1855) highly successful Anglo-Scottish writer and poet, who lived between 1855 and 1924, and was born with a full moon in Scorpio. At the age of thirty, she made her debut as a musician, pretending to be the daughter of an Italian count and to be twenty years old. She then began to write, and was a resounding success, becoming both the most widely read novelist of her time and simultaneously the most critically criticized. Recurring themes in her work included reincarnation, astral projection, esotericism, travel to other dimensions, and other highly alternative spiritual ideas, including her constant attempt to reconcile traditional Christianity with the above. Corelli was known for inventing, altering, or exaggerating many aspects of her life, explicitly playing different roles or selves, and acting as an actress in all her interactions with others. “The best actor is he who plays the play of life perfectly, as I aspire to do. To walk well, to talk well, to cry well, to laugh well, and to die well, are all pure acting, for in every man there is the mute and terrible immortal spirit which is real—which cannot act, which is, and which constantly maintains an infinite though wordless protest against the lies of the body.”

That’s why I contemplate the lilies of the field, but especially the glaciers. If you look at the glacier long enough, words cease to have any meaning on this earth”; “It’s a useful habit never to believe more than half of what people tell you and don’t worry about the rest. Instead, keep your mind free and your path your own”; “Love in spite of everything, that is the aim and object of life.”

Johannes Agricola (Pv) (Eisleben, April 20, 1494) German Protestant reformer.
Jakob Böhme (Alt Seidenberg, April 24, 1575) German philosopher, theologian, mystic, Lutheran; Aurora; De Signatura Rerum; “The true Christian belongs to no particular sect. He can participate in the ceremonies of any sect and belong to none. He has only one science, which is Christ within him; he has only one desire, to do good”; “The One, the ‘Yes’, is pure power, it is the life and truth of God, or God Himself. God, however, would be unknowable to Himself and there would be no joy or perception in Him, were it not for the presence of the ‘No’. The latter is the antithesis, or opposite, of the positive or truth; it allows this to become manifest, and this is possible only because it is the opposite in which eternal love can become active and perceptible”.
Swami Muktananda (2) (Mangalore, 16 May 1908) Indian spiritual master, founder of Siddha Yoga; “The mind, for human beings, is the root of pain and pleasure. There is no other reason why you should experience pain and pleasure: it is only the mind that makes you experience these things. It can make you suffer by showing you a joy in the pain or a suffering within the joy; that is why you should not run after the fantasies of your mind. On the contrary, you should use the mind to find your true Self”.

Astroshamanic Seal: a circle with a central dot, with one undulating vertical line on both sides, exemplifying the light of the Full Moon being grounded upon earth, giving shape to a bardo dome of radical and healing transformation. Beings enter this space, forming two long lines on both sides, and once they are inside their grievances are ultimately released. Upon exiting they can finally move along their true luminous destination.
“It is not to be thought that the life of darkness is sunk in misery and lost as if in sorrowing. There is no sorrowing. For sorrow is a thing that is swallowed up in death, and death and dying are the very life of the darkness.” (Jakob Boehme, 2.8)
