Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Scorpio

May 22, 2024

Moon transiting Scorpio, Wednesday, May 22nd, activates trust issues or suspicion when you are presented with anything unusual or potentially risky, but also enhances your intuition and instinct for self preservation, as the moon opposes Uranus, Venus, and Jupiter, all in Taurus, while forming trine aspects with both Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and a quincunx aspect with Mars conjunct Chiron in Aries. On the eve of an approaching Full Moon in Sagittarius, the propensity is to take a chance and see what might happen, when faced with making a choice under pressure, but you could experience the dilemma of having to choose between “the devil you know, or the devil you don’t”. It could also be possible that something which will ultimately be good for you, or is necessary, could be something you really don’t want to accept, or could have serious side effects — like medicine prescribed to cure an illness which comes with dire health warnings. There may be no easy answer or truly safe option today, and the building emotional intensity which comes before a Full Moon is exacerbated by Scorpio’s ruling planet, Pluto, in retrograde, squaring Mercury — the planet of thought and communication — in material and security minded Taurus. You are likely to fear a worst case scenario or recall the chaos of past transformational time periods in your life. It is better to face those fears, and deal with any resultant questions or research, than to move into an expansive Sagittarius Full Moon carrying the weight of suppressed emotion or denial.
