Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Scorpio, May 14, 2022

Moon transiting Scorpio, Saturday, May 14th, tunes you into the chatter of your “monkey mind”, which may influence you in ways that aren’t helping you enjoy your life to the fullest now, or supporting you in creating the future you would like to have, as the moon forms a quincunx aspect to Mercury retrograde in Gemini, a trine aspect to Saturn in Aquarius, and a square aspect to Pluto in Capricorn. The moon/Mercury aspect combines imaginative curiosity with intuitive perception, so expect to see your thought patterns and behaviors in a new way or have an “Aha!” moment if you begin to wonder why you do what you do, or question if buried feelings you have been avoiding are to blame. The square aspect between the moon and Pluto can trigger strong emotions over issues of control – particularly if you feel powerless in some area of your life or lack control over your own impulses. When we think of addictions, we usually think of things like alcohol, drugs, sex, or spending money – all very Scorpio/8th house/Plutonian – but we can also become addicted to negativity and failure. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto – an intense and magnetic planet of power, control, fear, crisis, upheaval, transformation, death, and resurrection. Scorpio and Pluto are associated with the 8th house of sex, death, taxes, metaphysics and the occult, business partnerships, investments, and inheritances. It is the house where we merge our boundaries and share our assets and values. As Pluto retrograde in Capricorn (a sign of mastery) – is activated by the moon transiting in it’s ruling sign of Scorpio, it also forms supportive trine aspects to both the sun in Taurus, and Mercury retrograde in Gemini, giving you the mental and material ability to regain control in whatever areas of life these transiting planets are activating in your own natal chart. If you have been sabotaging your happiness in relationships or business, or if you have tried, but previously failed, to overcome an addiction, today you can gain insights and begin to make a plan for future success. But nothing is happening fast – expect emotions to intensify, and depths to be explored, as the Scorpio moon waxes toward full, to be accompanied by a total lunar eclipse on May 16th.
