Timing: The Moon occupies the sign of Scorpio from Friday the 17th at 6:05am UTC to Sunday the 19th at 5:42am 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
Conjunction to Mercury. Very strong potential for aid in communication and the use of language. Your thoughts and ideas will be clearer to you, and using your voice will be easier. Expressing yourself to others will feel more natural and straightforward.
Inferior sextile to Venus in Virgo. This will help to keep mood uplifted and supported - friendships and interpersonal harmony will flow freely, and there will be more support for group dynamics and collective pursuits.
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. The conjunction to mercury will help will interpesonal communication, and the sextilefrom Venus ensures that interpersonal interactions can be friendly and productive. Mars as her ruler in Aries ensures that you can make long-lasting, permanent results now. As far as Scorpio moon periods go, this one is fairly positive for doing inner, relfective work (maybe in tandem with others, maybe not), and so long as you focus more on the emotional/spiritual and less on the intuitive, you can go far during this period.
