Timing: The Moon occupies the sign of Scorpio from Sunday the 23rd at 11:15am UTC to Tuesday the 25th at 1:48pm 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 Sextile to the Sun in Virgo. Moderate flow and harmony between your own moods and desires and the situations that your environment and context provide for you. Emotional bouyancy and upliftedness will be greater than usual.
Inferior sextile to Mercury in Virgo. Communication will be easier, both between yourself and others and between different aspects of yourself. Thoughts ideas should be more transparent, and thinking should in general be clearer.
Inferior Water Trine to Venus in Cancer. This will help to keep mood uplifted and supported. Friendship will flourish, and people we be kinder to each other and more accepting. This is an excellent period for emotional nourishment and taking care 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: The scorpio moon is a famously bad time to try and make anything happen or be productive. However, this is the best time we have to go inward. All things considered, this a fairly auspicious scorpio moon transit. We have a lot of help from other planets - four sextiles, a trine, and no difficult aspects from malefics. Mars as her ruler in Aries ensures that you can make long-lasting, permanent results now. The trine from Venus 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. Mood will stay more uplifted. 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.
