Astrology is based on the movement of the planets across the sky and through the zodiac signs. The Moon moves particularly quickly, circling the entire celestial sphere in just 28 days – and during that time, it spends approximately two and a half days in each and every zodiac sign.
These short lunar visits to each sign are called Moon transits. During each Moon transit, the Moon’s core energies – intuition, subconscious urges, moods and emotions – are channeled through the manner of the zodiac sign in question. A lunar transit through Scorpio feels very different to us than a lunar transit through Gemini – this is why our days tend to have different moods or vibes which we collectively, as humanity, can sense.
Born With the Moon in Scorpio?
Many people were born when the Moon was transiting Scorpio. If you were, then your birth chart will show that you have what an astrologer would call a natal Scorpio Moon. This adds a great deal of emotional intensity to your astrological makeup, as well as a rather spiteful or vengeful streak. Scorpio energy is notoriously passionate but with a darker side, and natal Scorpio Moon people are hard to get to know.
The Transiting Moon in Scorpio
When the Moon transits Scorpio, it’s often this darker edge to Scorpio’s energies which we sense in the air. The atmosphere is brooding; people become a little bit more secretive and a lot more manipulative. There are behind the scenes intrigues going on, with jealousy and resentment never far from the surface.
The intense emotions stimulated by the Scorpio Moon in transit can be very difficult to handle. Although this influence only lasts a couple of days at a time, it can feel much longer if you’re caught in the maelstrom.
On the plus side, the Scorpio Moon highlights resourcefulness; there’s really no such thing as ‘no’ when the Scorpio Moon is in play: there is always a way to get what you want, if you’re prepared to think outside the box. This is a very driven lunar energy and some people will stop at nothing to use it.
Self-discipline and self-mastery are also strong during the influence of the Scorpio Moon. It’s generally a very good time for self-improvement and for self-analysis. The Scorpio Moon can be seen as a magician’s Moon, in fact, because it allows us to take what we have, what we are, and transform and improve it. We can look into the very darkest of places and find our way free.
When the Moon is in Scorpio, you might feel motivated to:
- Indulge in an illicit affair
- Cover up a secret
- Uncover someone else’s secret
- Try plan D if A, B and C have failed
- Escape for a passionate weekend away
- Research something which fascinates you
- Practice your psychic or mediumistic skills
- Face your fears or phobias head on
