THE MOON:
🌓 FIRST QUARTER MOON IN SCORPIO ♏️
The first quarter moon in Scorpio asks us to take action from a place of depth and power. Each month, the Scorpio moon takes us down into our most intense feelings. From here, authentic creations can be born. We crave intimacy and connection to end the week under this moon.
♏️ MOON SQUARE ♌️ SUN and TRINE ♋️ LILITH (12º-13º) 5:00 AM PT
Overnight tension could have caused restless sleep or dark dreams. You might have woken up on Friday morning feeling a low-grade anxiety about the day ahead. With Lilith in the mix, it could be easy to fall into bitchiness if we’re feeling out of control. Find sovereignty in your body and use this energy to your benefit by taking action.
♏️ MOON OPPOSITE ♉️ URANUS AND ♉️ NORTH NODE (18º) 1:00 PM PT
We’ll feel attracted to thrilling experiences to wrap up the week, but it will be easy to fall back into old patterns to feel excitement. Because of this, emotional outbursts or upsets are possible. Knee-jerk reactions can cause chaos, especially if they’re in attempt to control or manipulate others. Stay in your lane and remember the path you’re meant to walk. The thrill you’re looking for won’t be found by disrupting others’ peace.
♏️ MOON OPPOSITE ♉️ MARS (21º) 7:00 PM PT
The reactive energy only builds as the moon opposes Mars on Friday night. We’ll be quick to anger, making this a volatile time. Watch that Scorpion tail… quick moves can sting under this transit. Remember- we can’t control anyone but ourself. There’s power in focusing inward.
♏️ MOON SQUARE ♒️ SATURN rx (22º) 8:00 PM PT
When Saturn squares the (already intense) Scorpio moon, we could feel a drop in energy, especially coming off of the reactive and impulsive vibe of the afternoon. This transit can make us feel lonely, depressed, or isolated. We’re aware of our responsibility to manage our emotions and there could be some shame that pops up from earlier reactions. Use this energy to observe what lessons you’re learning. There’s no need to ruminate in the pain.
♏️ MOON TRINE ♋️ VENUS (23º) 10:00 PM PT
Ahh! We easily feel the love again to end our week. After an emotional rollercoaster of an afternoon/evening, this transit feels like a soft place to rest our head. We can find comfort in our bodies and our homes tonight. It will be easier to express our affection and receive love now.

✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
The First Quarter Moon in Scorpio gives us intense motivation to take action, but watch out for being too ready to fire. The connections the moon is making throughout the day makes us feel agitated and reactive. We wake up under a square between the moon and sun, brining anxiety and restlessness. Lilith is in the mix can bring out our inner-bitch. Watch how you’re interacting with others. Snarky comments could sting. By this afternoon, we could feel the need to rebel or do something impulsive when the moon opposes Uranus. At this moment, the moon is also conjunct the South Node, making it easy to fall back into past (potentially destructive) patterns. When Mars enters the picture, tempers could flare tonight. Remember- the people around you might be on edge too. The energy drops when the moon squares Saturn, but this mood swing could bring up negativity or make us feel like isolating. Luckily, we end the week with a soft landing as the moon makes a harmonious connection to Venus. When in doubt, return to love- for yourself, your body, and your people.
