Jenny MilamReady or not, here it comes. And there’s nowhere to hide. The moon is moving out of sociable, light-hearted Libra and into soulful, introspective Scorpio—just in time to do some deep soul healing. It might be uncomfortable, but it’s for the greater good. So if you’re feeling raw, vulnerable, or irritable today… Well, you know who to blame.
The Moon Moves into Scorpio at 3:05 AM
While we were fast asleep, the moon moved into Scorpio. Our sociable mood has come to an end as we’re pulled deep into our emotional depths. Scorpio gets a bad rep from a lot of people for being dark and obsessive, but it’s actually their nature to dig deep and dissect their own psyches, something they inherit from Pluto. Scorpio gets off on figuring out what makes things tick, and by “things,” it often means “us.” Be prepared to get lost in a bit of introspection, which might not be how you want to feel at the moment.
The Scorpio moon also awakens a sense of sensuality and intensely passionate energy. How that energy is channeled is up to you. It can be destructive, or it can be a little fun. Don’t be scared to lean into your dark and twisty side. We’ve all got them.
As we’re approaching our full moon in Scorpio tomorrow, expect this emotional intensity to continue ramping up.
The Moon Squares Saturn at 6:10 AM
Early this morning, the moon squares with Saturn in fixed air sign Aquarius. Squares between the moon and Saturn can cause serious bouts of moodiness and moments of depression, and Scorpio loves to dredge up past grief and other unresolved matters. It’s quite possible that you’ll have woken up in a funk this morning, but any dreams you had might offer some insight into what Scorpio is asking you to work through. Write them down if you can remember, and hold onto them to delve into later. Then take some time to write down some things you’re grateful for, to bolster your mood a bit.
The Moon Opposes Uranus at 2:30 PM
This afternoon, the moon moves opposite of Uranus in grounded Taurus. The moon opposite Uranus is typically a challenging transit as well, making us prone to impulsive reactions and emotional decision making that could turn a minor drama into total chaos. Uranus is currently in Taurus, however, bringing us a more grounded, yet exciting, spirit of innovation. It’s possible we could channel those earlier insights into something more productive at this time.
The Moon is Inconjunct Chiron at 3:20 PM
And here come the big guns. The Moon forms an inconjunct angle with Chiron—the wounded healer—in bold and fiery Aries. This face-off can bring up revelations that will lead to deep inner healing. Moon transits to Chiron are meant to get under our skin and make us confront the depths of our own emotions.
It can also make us more vulnerable to taking on the emotions of others. Make no mistake, this is a fantastic time to do some hard core inner work. Just make sure that work is yours. Keep these intense planetary energies in mind today, and remember that these emotions (and Scorpio moons) are only temporary.
