Gibbous Moon in Scorpio: Unusual

Overnight, we enter the Gibbous phase with the Moon in Scorpio. As I write, the Moon has just entered this fixed Water sign of mystery and depth.

We remain in a intense field feelings and events. Mercury just reached their exact trine with Pluto. We might find words to describe how we feel, or at least shape our experiences into coherent thought.

Now the Moon will move into a square-and-a-half with the Gemini Sun, the sesquiquadrate that opens the Gibbous phase. Scorpio to Gemini is not an easy connection so we know we’re in for some shadowy times.

This is when we find out there’s one more test, one more bridge, one more challenge.

If you buckled down with the Virgo Moon and got all the details done, you might feel good (rightly so!) and look forward to the Full Moon’s illumination. The Gibbous Moon says, ummm, no. There’s this other thing.

This Gibbous Moon moves to oppose Venus and Uranus who are conjunct in Taurus. The “other thing” is a Uranian shakeup to our Venusian comforts.

A creative project might veer off in a new direction. So might relationships. This is what Uranus tends to facilitate.

The Scorpio Moon is important. Taurus likes the physical. What seems real is what we can touch, taste, smell, hear, and see. Scorpio knows the physical is only the tip of the iceberg. Reality is much more complicated.

Watch for an unexpected shift that reveals hidden depths.

Your latest draft suddenly reveals a more nuanced story you feel compelled to write, even though you have no idea where the story is going.

The friend you were so sure you knew inside and out shares an aspect of their life you knew nothing of.

You wake up gasping from a dream about someone who seemed a mere acquaintance . Now you want to call them, except it’s 3:00 am.

Uranus–Venus connections can be exciting and unsettling, bringing change where we counted on stability, and turning our ideas (and sometimes our lives) upside down.

The Scorpio Moon will make sure we don’t miss the important part.
