8/31/22 ✨ Moon Enters Scorpio
✨ Happy Mercury Day!
SUN IN VIRGO | MOON IN LIBRA >> SCORPIO
AFFIRMATION OF THE DAY: I am willing to make adjustments.
🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑
THE MOON:
🌒 WAXING CRESCENT MOON IN LIBRA ♎️
When the waxing moon is in the balanced sign of Libra, we are nurtured by relating to others. We can process our emotions by sharing them with others- but making decisions can be difficult as we weigh several perspectives with the moon in the sign of the scales. When in doubt, return to love.
♎️ MOON SQUARE ♑️ PLUTO rx (26º) 3:00 AM PT
Power struggles are possible as the Libra moon squares Pluto. Luckily- most of us slept through this transit, but even in dreams, intense emotions might have surfaced. We have an intense need for control, making us more prone to compulsion and obsession.
VOID MOON FROM 4:00 - 10:11 AM PT
We start our Wednesday under a void moon. Take it slow to begin the day. Wait to start any major projects or new endeavors until the moon enters Scorpio.
🌒 WAXING CRESCENT MOON ➡️ SCORPIO ♏️ (10:11 AM PT)
We’re going deep. When the waxing moon enters the more intense sign in the zodiac, we can experience powerful emotions. We crave intimacy and vulnerability when the moon is in Scorpio- but we don’t want to lose control in the process. The next few days bring an opportunity to get to the bottom of any unresolved feelings.
♏️ MOON QUINCUNX ♊️ MARS AND ♈️ JUPITER rx (6º) 10:00 PM PT
The Scorpio moon doesn’t make any common connections all day, but we end the night with an inconjunct angle to both Mars and Jupiter. This isosceles triangle (also known as a yod) shows us what adjustments we need to make before taking action. This can be a disruptive transit, bringing brief challenges that ask us to correct course. Both Mars in Gemini and Jupiter in Aries make us prone to making quick moves. But the Scorpio moon reminds us to check in with our deeper motivations before taking the next step.
✨TRANSITING IN THE BACKGROUND (within a degree)
✨ TSJ’S TAKEAWAY:
The final day of August is a day of transition. We start the morning with the moon in lovely Libra. Its final connection overnight- a square to Pluto, might have brought intense feelings rushing to the surface, even in dreams. But most of us woke up under a void moon, inviting us to start the morning slow. When the waxing moon enters Scorpio mid-morning, we begin to tune into our deeper emotions. Over the coming days, we crave intimate connections. We want to get down to the true, authentic nature of things… and we also want to be in control in the process. The only connections the Scorpio moon makes tonight are two imbalanced angles to Mars and Jupiter. In astrology, this configuration is called a yod. While Mars and Jupiter support one another, getting us excited to move forward, the Scorpio moon is the apex point, bringing our deeper motivations into question. This transit can feel irritating- like we’re missing a piece of the puzzle. This is a moment to correct course before taking action under the first quarter moon later this week.
