  • Moon in Scorpio sextile Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Moon in Scorpio trine Mercury in Pisces (24 deg)

  • Moon in Scorpio sextile Venus in Capricorn (25 deg)

  • Moon Void of Course in Scorpio (25 deg at 7:13 am EST)

  • Moon enters Sagittarius and VOC ends (4:19 pm EST)

  • Moon in Sagittarius trine Chiron in Aries (0 deg)

The Scorpio Moon glides through the depths with harmonious aspects to Pluto (ruler of Scorpio- intensifying the purge) Mercury (putting the secrets into words) and Venus (finding love and value in what’s darkest).

Moon in Scorpio can feel quite heavy and often involves getting rid of what’s no longer valid. But these aspects ensure a smooth processing of passion, purging, shadow issues and forbidden truths. You can use these energies to safely confront what’s “too much” or too dark. The sextile to Venus especially suggests understanding from someone else or an intensification of your own understanding of what’s truly valuable (and what isn’t). Capricorn ensures that things won’t go too far – there will be boundaries in place. You’re safe.

As the Moon goes VOC, soak in what you’ve experienced, resting up for the burst of fire and enthusiasm that’s Sagittarius. The shift from Scorpio to Sag is about going as deep as you can, dredging up the hidden resources (or purging them) then accelerating and going as far and as high as you can. You may notice this shift as a surge of lightness and excitement – new things are suddenly possible. Use this momentum to tackle emerging wounds and doubts (Chiron).

If starting something or exploring new territory is the issue (especially if you’re unsure), it’s probably best if you wait until the Moon enters Sagittarius.

February 24th, 2019: Depth and Transcendence

  • Moon in Scorpio trine Vesta in Pisces (11 deg)

  • Moon in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

  • Moon in Scorpio sextile Saturn in Capricorn (17 deg)

A smooth day for the Scorpio Moon. The trines to Vesta (devotion) and Neptune (transcendence) blend depth with a higher focus that’s spiritual or trusting. This energy encourages you to let go while pouring your passion into something that lifts you higher. You can simultaneously intensify and elevate – look at what’s hidden/taboo while maintaining forgiveness or compassion.

Saturn adds a touch of reality, reminding you that there are structures and rules to prevent you from going off the deep end.

Overall, today is excellent for quietly exploring darker issues or core truths, without becoming swamped.

February 21st, 2019: A Difficult Day For Relationships

  • Moon in Libra opposite Chiron in Aries (0 deg)

  • Waning Inconjunct between the Libra Moon and Pisces Sun (2 deg)

  • Libra Moon inconjunct Mars in Taurus (5 deg)

A difficult day for the Libra Moon and relationships in general.

The Moon/Chiron opposition can trigger some painful issues, including feeling out of place, unloved or unappreciated. The mood will be very, very sensitive and hurt feelings are likely.

The Moon then moves into a difficult Waning Inconjunct, presenting an adjustment to the results of February 19th’s Full Moon – awkward dynamics of give and take, balance or compromise must be factored into the Full Moon’s culmination. You may not want to acknowledge a relationship issue, but it cannot be ignored.

Finally, the Moon makes another inconjunct, this time to Mars. Subjective, stubborn actions that preserve or encourage growth will need to be balanced with the above relationship situation. Someone may not agree with what you’re doing, or perhaps there are accusations of selfishness. Taking any action may feel inappropriate, but while it may feel like a struggle, a compromise can be reached.

In general, be prepared for challenging, one-on-one exchanges today. You’ll have to put in some extra effort to keep things civil.

February 16th, 2019: Parental Dynamics

  • Moon in Cancer trine Mercury in Pisces (10 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer opposite Venus in Capricorn (14 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces (15 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer opposite Saturn in Capricorn (16 deg)

  • Moon in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

The Cancer Moon makes some difficult oppositions today. Moon/Venus is not so bad – the need for security/hugs may be emphasized but not quite met because the desire for status/control runs counter to what’s needed. But the opposition to Saturn and Pluto can be quite tense, as restrictions suggest you won’t get what you need but there will be a dramatic intensification of those needs.

Pluto opposite the Moon suggests a fear of loss – the powerful surge that threatens to sweep away what you’ve been clinging to. But the opposition to Saturn says that you need to be self-sufficient. At this point in time, you are the only one who can provide for yourself. Note that Moon/Saturn is a strong parental signature; watch for Mother/Father issues to pop up.

The mood may swing from profoundly needy to hurt and helpless if you give others power over your feelings. Something bigger than you may indeed trigger a loss (or fear of loss) – focus on your inner security and self-care rather than fighting what you can’t control.

The Moon does make a couple of smooth trines. Moon/Mercury helps you put needs into words – the formless sense is given a voice. Identify what makes you feel safe, then allow it to expand as Moon/Neptune reminds you that it’s not personal. Yes, Neptune is transpersonal and while it can increase sensitivity, if you tune into the undercurrent you’ll realize that there’s something more/bigger out there. Maybe others feel as you do, or perhaps you can look beyond your immediate situation and see that the universe/higher power/bigger picture/glass of wine…whatever…reminds you to take a step back and release.

Exhale and look after yourself.

February 11th, 2019: Real Venus

  • Moon in Taurus trine Venus in Capricorn (9 deg)

The Venus-ruled Taurus Moon makes one, major aspect. The trine to Venus would normally be quite indulgent, but Capricorn adds an edge of practicality and discipline. So the vibe is about solid acquisition -real proof of love, security and values.

This emphasized Venus energy is good for focusing on what has the most value. What’s worthiest and what makes you feel most secure? This is not romantic or wishful: look at the reality of what you love, want and have.
