The Moon transits through Scorpio when the lunar sky path crosses the eighth sector of the Zodiac, which is located in the constellation of Scorpio, between <210°-240°. Moon in Scorpio is a time for increased sharpness of the mind. It brings about active subconsciousness and strong intuition to increase the understanding of unexplainable and mysterious subjects.
Be aware that Scorpio energy can cause people to lose their tact and become more critical. Steer clear of any people or conversations that could be a trigger for you. Scorpio energy cuts right to the heart of the matter so surround yourself with people you have an honest connection with.
Moon journaling each month during the new and full moon helps connect you with these lunar energies. Use these Scorpio moon phase journal prompts to help you during these times of transition.
