Today’s Scorpio Moon is a not so gentle reminder that we’re sliding into a time of the year when it’s about decay and a clearing of the old to make way for the new. You may be in the southern hemisphere and enjoying the first buds of spring, but we’re only nine days away from Scorpio season, a sign that straddles the divide between life and death. The chill in the air is both literal and metaphoric.

Scorpio is a power sign and with great power comes great responsibility. We have to give Scorpio consciousness otherwise its lowest expression is that of the destroyer. But what if we used Scorpio’s energy for alchemy? Transformation? Positive magic? Revelation? Soul baring intimacy?

Seeing how Mars, the ruler of Scorpio, makes a trine to both Pluto and Jupiter this week, we’ve got major cosmic mojo at our disposal. Yes, we’re in rapidly shifting waters courtesy of Monday’s potent Libra New Moon. Where do you want to steer the ship? What do you want to create? Have you had your flash of Uranian insight yet? A breakthrough? Maybe we need a breakdown first.
