Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Scorpio, October 16, 2023

Moon transiting Scorpio, Monday, October 16th, activates your feelings of insecurity and distrust of anyone or anything new, or presenting as different or unusual, even if you are assured that everything is fine, and you have nothing to lose, as the moon in a fixed water sign associated with the defending or merging of boundaries and sharing of values and assets opposes Jupiter retrograde and Uranus retrograde, both in Taurus – a fixed earth sign associated with personal values and finances. The Taurus/Scorpio axis highlights issues of trust and betrayal, and the use or misuse of individual and shared assets. This lunar opposition, which follows a New Moon and Solar Eclipse in the relationship minded air sign of Libra, may bring an opportunity to test the veracity of any promises or commitments that came about as a result of talks or meetings between you and anyone you share your values or time with romantically or financially. The sun, Mercury, South Node, and Mars in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn indicates you will be extra defensive and suspicious if you have had past problems with an individual, or a larger organization, but those Libra planets in a Yod (Finger of God) aspect pattern with Neptune retrograde in Pisces, and Uranus in Taurus, is guiding you toward holding the “other” in a higher light and believing that they can change. Investigation and caution is wise before moving forward, but defending a stagnant position, or ignoring an unproven opportunity, or a reformed or apologetic person, may do you more harm than good.
