Moon in Scorpio

The Moon dives deep in Scorpio today, ready to explore what others signs prefer to avoid. With the Sun in tradition-loving Cancer, and the Moon flowing energy with the Nodes, Scorpio's focus is likely to be on exactly how and why we're tied to our past, and what that means for us.

The Nodes of the Moon are a karmic path in the sky, leading from the South Node, place of what we know and are already good at, to the North Node, where we need to develop new skills in this lifetime. The South Node is now in Cancer, trining the Moon. The North Node is in Capricorn, sextile the Moon.

Scorpio needs to understand, in the deepest way, in order to transform. Today's search may focus on things close to home: What are we clinging to that we can let go of? What is vital, and must be preserved? Where is our need for security keeping us safe and strong, and where is it holding us back?

The Water signs, wells of emotion, are strong today. As the Moon flows energy with the Nodes, the Cancer Sun trines Chiron the wounded healer in visionary Pisces. Feelings may emerge, deep feelings we can avoid, or embrace as part of our path of exploration.

These two quotes from T.S. Eliot's Little Gidding, last of The Four Quartets, capture for me the feeling of today's Scorpio Moon:

History may be servitude,
History may be freedom. See, now they vanish,
The faces and places, with the self which, as it could, loved them,
To become renewed, transfigured, in another pattern.

...

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
