Moon into Scorpio

Sunday night through Tuesday night

The Full Moon is the Moon's last aspect in Libra, as she dives into several hours of void-of-course time before reaching Scorpio's depths at 2:19am EDT Monday. A Scorpio night following an intense Full Moon promises big dreams, especially when the Moon's first aspect is a trine to Neptune. Open those dream gates tonight and pay attention.

The trine to Neptune is followed by trines to Chiron and Ceres on Monday morning. The Moon in Scorpio is ready to explore deep, sensitive emotional territory. Chiron is the place of our wounding, and opens the way to healing. Ceres carries the energy of the generative, but also fiercely protective, mother. Whatever was illuminated by the Full Moon, the Scorpio transit will face it head on.

Monday afternoon, the intensity continues as Mars in Aries opposes Saturn in Libra, accelerator and brakes fully and simultaneously applied. We'll need all of Libra's charm and restraint if situations head toward the boiling point.

On the up side, if you've put in the time and effort (Saturn) and it's time for the tide to turn in your favor, this opposition might illuminate exactly where the key leverage point is located.

Tuesday morning, Mercury and Mars meet in Aries, joining word and deed. We may find our voice in a new way, expressing our passions. Or we might just explode. The fact that Mercury is still retrograde allows a chance to think before we speak, but also points to the possibility of misunderstanding. This is a morning to walk a fine line, saying what we mean while avoiding angry confrontation.

During this transit through Scorpio, the Moon will be forming inconjunct angles-of-adjustment to all the Aries planets. Aries-Scorpio inconjuncts are tricky territory, as Aries and Scorpio share an affinity for Mars and a tendency toward anger. This is another reason to monitor our trigger points carefully these next few days, and keep excessive, damaging words and actions in check. Another possibility with these inconjuncts is allowing the Scorpio Moon to bring the underlying reasons for our emotional reactions into consciousness, where we can release or transform them.

Tuesday night, the Moon reaches the end of Scorpio and trines Venus. This flowing connection offers insights into relationships, creative expression, and finance, all Venusian areas. Perhaps, during this connection, we'll understand some of the emotional insights of this Scorpio transit, and express them creatively.

The Moon pops into the bright exuberance of Sagittarius at 2:50am EDT Wednesday morning, ready to leave the shadows behind for a bit.
