SUMMARY

The Moon moves from Libra into her Fall in Scorpio. All the trines from the last period have become squares. Long story short, fun time is over. But hey, at least you have a heads-up, right?

Right off the bat, the squares from Mercury and Venus will rule out much chance of success with interpersonal relationships and communication. Talking and interacting with others will take more effort and legwork. Don’t expect much help from other people. The Squares from Jupiter and Saturn will bring personal challenges. The Jupiter square tends to bring hard (but ultimately useful) lessons, especially from authority figures who want you to be better. The square from Saturn just brings negative self-talk, rumination, shame. Generally a painful, heavy feeling.

All this is happening in fixed signs - expect a steady drumbeat of tension and obstacles.

You’re only hope is to surrender. I don’t mean giving up on life - I mean relinquishing your right to fight it. Just let it happen. Accept that these few days may come with challenges and pain. They will bring up inner challenges and feelings that will ultimately temper your spirit and purify your character. These are the kinds of experiences required into order for true spiritual awakening.

ASTROLOGICAL SIGNATURES

Entry: Wednesday February 3rd at 9:15am EST / 2:15pm UTC

Departure: Friday, February 5th at 12:17pm EST / 5:17pm 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 in the material sense of things. 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 in 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: Opposition to Mars in Taurus. There is help and support for grounding the Moon’s significations in reality and making long-term plans come to fruition, but it will happen through struggles and obstacles. The Moon-Mars opposition can, on its own, bring tension, anger, and frustration. However, the Moon is also received into her exaltation through Mars, and this will help to offset some of the natural depression of the Scorpio Moon period.

Relationship to the Sun: Superior Fixed Square to the Sun in Aquarius. There will be great tension and challenges between your own desires and intentions and what your environment and circumstances support. Things will not work out very easily.

Aspects

• Superior Fixed Square to Mercury in Aquarius. Last period’s trine has morphed into a square. Challenges around the use of the voice. Trouble with self-expression, especially given Mercury’s retrograde status. You will find it harder to communicate. There may be delays in travel. These troubles will be quite persistent with the fixed nature of the square.

• Superior Fixed Square to Venus in Aquarius. Challenges in interpersonal interactions and dialogue. Harmony and agreement between people is strained, and individuals will be less likely to get along with each other.

• Superior Fixed Square to Jupiter in Aquarius. The trine from the previous period has tensed into a square. You may find hard lessons coming your way from people you respect, or challenges arising to test your personal resolve and conviction. Financial worries may come your way too. All of this can be resolved and made to work in your favor if you confront the issues that arise instead of running away from them. These troubles will be quite persistent with the fixed nature of the square.

• Superior Fixed Square to Saturn in Aquarius. The trine from the previous period has tensed into a square. Negative self-talk, rumination, challenges with self-worth and esteem. Confusion and lack of clarity can also be present. It will be difficult to get anything done. These troubles will be quite persistent with the fixed nature of the square.
