Scorpio and Pluto Could Have You in a Mood Today

It’s that time again. When the moon — which represents our emotional lives — moves from loving and light-hearted Libra into intense and introspective Scorpio. But we’ve got to plumb the depths every once in a while in order to then soar to the highest heights, no? Take the opportunity to really dig in over the next couple of days and see what your soul is truly longing for. This is no time for small talk or burying things under the rug. Scorpio wants us to get real.

The Moon Is Square Pluto at 9:03 AM

This morning, the moon in Libra forms a square with Pluto in grounded Capricorn. This transit causes our impulsiveness to butt up against a bit of introspection, and that can lead to some discomfort. It might also lead to some compulsive or destructive behavior, so don’t be shocked if long-buried wounds or traumas are pulled to the surface.

It’s quite possible that some of these wounds have to do with family history. Be on the lookout for emotional power struggles with family members or partners, or reliving past events to feed the grudge monster.

You might wake up in a funk after some uncomfortable dreams. This isn’t fun by any means, but it’s very important not to bury things even further. You need to find a way for that energy to move through you. Talk to a friend, get your thoughts down on paper, or seek out the counsel of a professional. And keep in mind that this is only a temporary transit.

The Moon Moves into Scorpio at 3:38 PM

Later this afternoon, the moon moves into reflective Scorpio. Scorpio moons have a dark, intense, and passionate energy. Scorpio likes to explore the depths of our psyches.

This moon brings out an increased psychic focus, which helps us read people and their motivations in an uncanny way. Scorpio reminds us to look a little bit closer, and to dig a little bit deeper, to see what’s really going on under the surface. There’s no room for small talk right now. We’re ready to explore the uncomfortable subjects that will ultimately lead to our healing.

You can expect things to grow even more intense surrounding tomorrow’s Scorpio new moon.

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.
