The Scorpio Moon moves along, doing its Scorpio thing, through the early part of the day PST; a lack of significant aspects among the Moon and the other bodies puts the emphasis on what the Moon may be aspecting in the natal chart, and on the matters of the natal House being transited. 2 PM-ish PST the Moon finally steps up and forms a T-square with the Sun/ Earth axis, and things start hoppin’. Or rather, they may have been hoppin’ before, but now they’ll take on shape, with energies corresponding to our own attention drawn to emotional and intuitive reactions to the life landscape. It may seem that things suddenly pop into focus, as if we have a command of our energy and the direction that it flows that wasn’t present earlier in the day. This likely brings on examination of something concerning the individual role and goals as they relate to the group role or involvement, echoing the recent Leo Moon.

By 6 PM PST we see the Scorpio Moon conjunct Pallas, setting a tone of calm, collected consideration of our emotional state; this is an excellent time to get a feeling perspective on the current situation, as we’ll be measuring and responding from a point of wisdom and common sense. Take advantage of the emotional clarity and equilibrium possible, as by the 9 PM hour the Moon is opposed Sedna, quincunx Juno, and trine the South Node; this introduces a serious note that may leave us feeling very uncertain. We sense that there’s something we’re not seeing (Sedna) that’s challenging our sense of our own empowerment (Juno), specifically questioning whether we know the full scope and implications of our position (Scorpio), and we search our memories for past experience (SN) that may clue us in to those things we sense but can’t pinpoint now (Sedna influence), as we try to discern the shape of things to come.

The 3 AM hour starts a chain reaction where the Moon engages energies, boom boom boom–a square to Venus (tension over values, finances, or relationships), a simultaneous sextile to Mercury and trine to Uranus (the messages are shocking, surprising, or meant to enlighten), then squares to Chiron and Neptune (emotional difficulties rooted in old wounds and delusions–let them go, for gosh sakes!) leading to the Void that begins at 8:12 AM on the 6th, prompting West Coasters to begin the day in relaxed mode.
