Moon into Scorpio: What Is Hidden?

Friday night through Monday morning

Overnight, the Moon slips into shadowy Scorpio, diving from the airy heights of Libran thought into the depths of intensity hidden within the sign of Fixed Water. This Moon transit will provide a counterpoint to aspects of good fortune, reminding us to look beneath the surface and be aware of hidden currents.

Right now, a trine between Jupiter and Pluto, both in Earth signs, brings the possibility of solid foundations being laid for future success. With Venus also involved, good things can happen. At Astro4Business, Ellen Longo lays out the positive opportunities here.

And yet ... and yet ... says the Scorpio Moon, whose first aspect, a trine with Neptune in Pisces, calls us to listen to intuitive guidance. A trine with Chiron opens opportunities for healing that, perhaps, we didn't see before.

Early Saturday afternoon, the Moon sextiles Pluto, flowing energy to his transformative agenda, and opposes fortunate Jupiter. Where do we need to balance what is obvious, with what is hidden? A bit later, the Scorpio Moon trines Venus in Cancer, bringing our attention to the shadowy side of key relationships and financial dealings.

Saturday evening, Uranus turns retrograde, ready to revisit the early degrees of Aries while aspecting the early degrees of all Cardinal signs. If you thought you were done with quick changes, look again. Do not leave your seat until the ride has come to a complete stop!

Saturday night, the Scorpio Moon squares Mercury in Leo, again offering a cautionary message. In Leo, Mercury wants to speak out creatively, joyfully, passionately, boldly. The Scorpio Moon warns us to be aware of hidden consequences and unintended results.

Early Sunday morning, the Moon reaches her waxing trine with the Sun, a time when we feel all our energies flowing in the same direction, if we are committed to reaching our New Moon goals. With the Sun in Cancer and Moon in Scorpio, this could be a time of intense feeling, and is also the Moon's last classical aspect in this sign, beginning a long void of course period that lasts until the early hours of Monday.

This Moon transit through Scorpio draws our emotional attention again and again to the hidden, the shadow, what is not obvious, what others (perhaps) don't want us to see, or what we ourselves might prefer to avoid. Over the next few days, we're called to look, and learn.
