Scorpio 23 October – 21 November

That potent First Quarter Moon at 5 degrees Scorpio is making itself known right from the get-go, dear Scorpion, pulling your deepest feelings straight to the surface. With the Moon square Jupiter at 4 degrees Leo and Pluto retrograde at 4 degrees Aquarius, you might feel a significant push-pull today, especially in power dynamics. You’re typically so adept at keeping your cards close, but there’s a distinct feeling now that something you've been holding beneath the surface is just begging to be aired.

It’s less about a deliberate secret and more about the emotional walls you’ve built, possibly to protect yourself. The Moon’s exact square to Pluto, your ruling planet, hints that issues of control or trust are creating friction. This isn’t a day to gloss over those feelings, Scorpio. In fact, ignoring them could lead to bigger frustrations. With Mercury retrograde at 16 degrees Cancer, squaring Saturn at 14 degrees Aries, communication feels a bit clunky anyway – things aren’t being said directly, or perhaps what’s being said is being misunderstood.

Here’s the tea: while you’re busy being the fixed water sign, trying to hold everything together, there’s an undercurrent of tension in your relationships. Venus at 13 degrees Virgo is squaring Mars at 16 degrees Gemini, suggesting that your desire for order and clear boundaries in partnerships is clashing with a more impulsive or scattered energy from someone else. You might feel like you’re doing all the heavy lifting, or perhaps even that your efforts aren’t truly seen.

This is a day to observe where you’re trying to exert control because of underlying anxieties, rather than from a place of genuine empowerment. The beautiful sextiles between Neptune, Pluto, and Jupiter offer a chance for profound understanding if you allow yourself to be vulnerable, even just a little. Later today, try to voice one small truth you’ve been sitting on. It doesn’t have to be a grand confession, just an honest acknowledgement of your feelings. You might be surprised by the response.
