The Moon entered incisive, insightful Scorpio this morning at 5:21am EDT. Intense, shadowy morning dreams might be gifts from Scorpio's deep spaces. The Moon joins Venus, new in Scorpio, today (exact at 8:54am), bringing emotional focus to the unconscious aspects of our one-on-one relationships, creativity and values.
Flowing sextiles to transformative Pluto in Capricorn (exact at 9:59am) and Mercury, retrograde in Virgo (exact at 2:28pm) adds emphasis to Pluto-Mercury connection in trine. Today is the last day of Mercury's retrograde. The Scorpio Moon asks us to look carefully at what we have experienced during this time of reflection and review. What has really been going on? What have any delays, miscommunications, and mess-ups shown us? Part of the message is in our responses ... what are we projecting on the world that we expect things always to go smoothly?
This Mercury retrograde as been a difficult one for many. We rely on careful, practical Virgo to keep things in order. When Virgo drops the ball, we are given the chance to see where we take things for granted, where we expect (demand?) that life go according to plan with little effort on our part. If we found ourselves responding to retrograde glitches with frustration rather than adaptability, irritation rather than humor, today's the day to reflect on where that's coming from.
When we own and integrate our less-than-perfect qualities (an awkward and difficult process), we suddenly find new sources of energy and inspiration. Instead of using up energy stuffing down something we don't want to see and certainly don't want others to see, we have new drive and focus for living and creating.
Today's Scorpio Moon connects the dots: How can our thought and communication (Mercury) be transformed (Pluto) in practical, real world ways (both in Earth signs) so can we take back our Shadow (Scorpio) and bring new vitality to our relationships and creativity (Venus)?
Today, if we can face what we see in Scorpio's mirror, we find power.
