Timing: The Moon occupies the sign of Scorpio from Monday the 27th at 5:11am UTC to Wednesday the 29th at 8:24am UTC.

Moon in Scorpio: Fall of the Moon. This is a very challenging placement. The whole world feels a little unsteady. It is difficult to accomplish anything or get anything done. Difficult emotions will continue to arise, and it may be easy to fall into an emotional hole or get stuck in a rut. However, Scorpio Moons are good times to take a pause from work and do introspection, especially into one’s own shadow and the darker parts of the personality that one would rather ignore.

Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Fixed Water. Fixedness indicates prolonged activities and an overall steadiness people’s moods. The Moon in fixed signs makes activities more stable and their duration longer. The water element emphasizes the emotional and inner life, and people tend to prioritize their own inner states and unconsciousness patterns. The atmosphere takes a very reflective tone.

Moon’s ruler: The Moon is averse to her ruler Mars, but this is mitigated by the homozonias or like-engirding relationship they have in virtue of being in signs of the same rulership. Mars provides support to the moon in a hidden way.

Aspects

• Inferior Square to the Sun in Leo. This indicates a lack of flow and lack of harmony between your own moods and desires and the environment and circumstances with which you are provided. You will hit roadblocks in enacting your will, and find that what people around you want and what your intentions are do not coincide.

• Inferior Trine to Mercury in Cancer. Communication will flow much more freely, both between yourself and others and between different aspects of yourself.

• Superior Sextile to Jupiter in Capricorn. this brings moderate support from teachers and authority figures. There will be a moderate upliftedness to the moon here, which would generally not be present with the Moon in Scorpio.

• Superior Sextile to Saturn in Capricorn. This will offset some of the above optimism. You may find difficult experiences coming up that will thwart your agenda or sidetrack you, but they will be minor at best and easily turned into something helpful to you.

Summary: This is the best time we have to go inward. The trine from Mercury and sextile to Jupiter both help to ensure that inner work of any kind, whether it be journaling, spiritual journeying, therapy, etc. will be fruitful and will take you far. Any Moon in scorpio period has great benefits for doing spiritual work and confronting your shadow, but this one in particular has the potential to be particularly successful.
