First Quarter Moon in Scorpio ☽ Aug 5, 2022
Friday, Aug 5 @ 4:06 am PDT
The brilliant Leo sun squares the waxing moon in Scorpio. Moonrise at noon, peak at dusk, moonset at midnight in all time zones. This moon phase follows the spicy New Moon in Leo on July 28. First quarter phases clarify for the coming lunar cycle. Get ready for a Full Moon in Aquarius on Aug 11.
Here we are, walking proudly down the lion path, and now: a mysterious encounter with the dark and cryptic scorpion. Leo is ruled by the Sun, the center of the solar system, and Scorpio by Pluto, the planet farthest from center. Imagine the Sun and Pluto stretching their arms out into the vast distance between them, intertwining in some remote asteroid belt. Within you there is an equally vast distance which must be overcome. The center of centers reaches out to the extremes.
Leo and Scorpio bring attention to our emotional nature and the way in which we express ourselves. They bring attention to our pain and our passions, past and present. These archetypes have little in common besides their fixed nature. A high vibration relationship to the lion and scorpion looks like authenticity (Leo) and unshakeable trust (Scorpio).
At this quarter moon there are strong notes of struggle, dreams of swimming desperately in a choppy sea, grasping for a rocky ledge that remains forever just out of reach. This is the scorpion’s influence, briefly interrupting Leo’s flamboyant party to throw a few shadows on the wall. Heat and aggravation and intrigue all rolled into one raucous gathering, moving along slowly and fabulously on its jumbo flaming legs.
Heads up: this quarter moon opposes Uranus in Taurus. Expect the unexpected. Not conducive for travel or communication. Rise above with Scorpio Yoga. In meditation, focus on the sacral chakra. To find your personal moon sign, click here.
