Scorpio Season: Embracing the Momentum & New Moon Energy
As a Scorpio, this is a favorite time of year. However, with the momentum picking up, it can also feel a bit overwhelming. That's where the Scorpio new moon comes in, providing us with the focus we need to finish strong in 2023. Personally, I'm excited to blaze through the remainder of the year and into 2024. But first, let's take advantage of the energy from the new moon in Scorpio.
The Scorpio sign is known for its immense power, and the first new moon following the full moon solar eclipse makes it even more impactful. This new moon in Scorpio is the perfect opportunity for a fresh start, either in a new project or by turning over a new leaf. It's time to manifest your goals and aspirations. This new moon also presents some important questions to consider: Where do you need more control? Where do you need to step into your power? What are you hiding that needs to be released? Take some time to reflect on these inquiries and use the energy of the Scorpio new moon to your advantage.
In astrology, Scorpio represents intensity. With the arrival of a new moon, the spotlight shifts to matters of intimacy, control, power, money, and sharing. This will be particularly emphasized in the days leading up to Monday. This presents a unique opportunity for new beginnings or fresh starts in these areas. So, what would you like to initiate this month?
Scorpio is also associated with focus, encompassing staying power and personal strength. Scorpio embodies the "P" words: passion, power, probing, perception, penetration, and purging – diving deep beyond the surface.
This is the time for TRANSFORMATION. Where in your life are you ready to transform? 20° of Scorpio may be a clue!
Exploring Our Hidden Desires with the Scorpio Moon
The Scorpio moon urges us to confront our deepest desires. What is simmering beneath the surface, waiting to be revealed or released? When the sun and moon align in the sky, Scorpio emerges from the shadows, the depths, and the unknown. Under the dark, tranquil sky, you have permission to:
Stay in and take it easy
Surrender to solitude
Focus on self-care and personal needs
Strengthen your intuition and dreams
Concentrate on healing
Enhance your intimate relationships
This is the perfect moon for sultry practices, such as slow dancing, free writing, and drawing out emotions. Give life to your deepest thoughts and feelings.
Insights to Consider During the Psychic Scorpio Season: Uranus & Mars Influence
As the Scorpio season approaches, be mindful of the emotions and insights you encounter, as they may come at you fast like flashes of electricity. With the sky currently low in air and fire, it's a time to focus on feelings before planning your next steps. The energies of Uranus and Mars will play a significant role in answering the question of what you should do next, but be aware of their possible unexpected revelations, impulses, and even aggression.
Here are some tips to help you navigate this time:
Be cautious of throwing everything away, and instead focus on liberating yourself from anything that you have not let go of from the recent eclipse season.
Watch out for impatience or irritation, and practice patience. Timing is everything, so trust in that.
With little fire in the sky, take the time to journal and reflect on your emotions before taking conscious action.
If you're struggling to take the first step or muster up the courage to speak out, Mars may help you assert your independence and chase your desires more aggressively and selfishly. Remember that the North Node is in Aries, encouraging a little selfishness in going after what you want, while still considering others.
With Sun conjunct Mars in Scorpio, you have the drive, energy, and initiative to pursue your professional aspirations. This aspect provides you with the courage, assertiveness and passion to tackle challenges and fulfill your desires. You'll find yourself more eager and enthusiastic about the things that you're truly passionate about. This combination of courage, strength, and focus will enable you to overcome obstacles and accomplish your goals with ease.
If you have 20° Scorpio in:
1st House: Here's how to focus your attention on your inner power: Take the time to reflect on where you might be limiting yourself. Trust in your abilities and listen to your inner fire. Remember, you are the artist of your life.
2nd House: This House centers on self-worth, prompting you to examine where you might be giving away your power. Practicing mindfulness with your spending could be beneficial. If you've prioritized this area, it's possible that your effort might pay off through dividends.
3rd House: A Focus on Communication. It is vital to clear your throat chakra and speak your truth. It's important to draw clear boundaries with siblings or chosen family. Make sure they are firm and well-defined.
4th House: Emphasize your private space and honor close family relationships. Embody your dream home and family, focus on the ways you can feel emotionally fulfilled and safe in this world.
5th House: Embrace your powerful presence and overcome insecurities by taking center stage. Time to confidently show off your skills and own the spotlight.
6th House: Transform your daily routines by making them more meaningful and turning them into rituals. Infuse intimacy and joy into your routines, and reflect on the practices that don't bring you happiness – don't be afraid to let them go!
7th House: Have you ever considered what role you play in your relationship? If things aren't going as planned, have you asked for what you truly want? Never underestimate the power of your connections. It's important to acknowledge and celebrate them.
8th House: Your true passion is calling out to you and cannot be ignored any longer. Although the transformation may be intimidating, there is much to gain from embracing it. In addition to the personal and emotional benefits, there may also be financial rewards, such as partnerships or collaborations that pay off.
9th House: If you're still limiting your aspirations, it's time to break free from those constraints. The universe is full of opportunities, and all you need to do is step outside of your comfort zone. Keep searching, and you will certainly find what you're looking for!
10th House: It's time to shine! All of your hard work has brought you to this point in your career. Concentrate and pursue your goals with determination. Go after what you want and make it happen!
11th House: The Importance of your inner circle-surrounding yourself with the right people is crucial to your success. It's okay if not everyone is meant to share your space – find your tribe. Connecting with your spiritual "running buddies" can be a powerful source of motivation and inspiration.
12th House: Power is a place of deep intuition and spiritual awakening. If you can tune into this frequency, you'll find yourself empowered and greatly rewarded. Believe in yourself, trust your instincts, and the universe will respond in kind, opening up new possibilities you never thought possible.
May this new moon bring you renewed energy and inspiration to embrace your full potential and become the best version of yourself. You've been nurturing and growing this inner strength for some time now, and the moment has finally arrived to unleash it!

Sagittarius Full Moon
Today is a Full Moon in Sagittarius.
Sagittarius is the sign of the zodiac that is about truth, optimism and adventure - welcoming what’s on the horizon with open arms.
To be honest, Sagittarius doesn’t have time for what happened in the past, that which is not worth carrying. There is much adventure to be had, and that is too heavy a load to carry on this journey.
This Full Moon is aiming for the horizon on a quest for freedom, knowledge and experiencing the wild and expansive flavors life has to offer.
8:42 PDT tonight at 13° the Sagittarius the Moon will be full.
To find what this new moon is illuminating specifically for you, in your chart, find the house where you have 13° of Sagittarius. This is the area of life that’s calling for your attention and being highlighted right now. Look at this area of life and ask yourself are you living your truth? What in this area is holding you back or keeping you small? What have you outgrown? How do you play bigger in this area? Are you being honest with yourself?
And no negativity or judgment, just be honest, how can you get more freedom to embody what you want to be, through this area of your life? Take a breath and realize maybe you’ve gotten too serious and you need to loosen the reins a little bit and have some fun on this journey that you’re on. Maybe your head has been down and so focused on the minute details that you need to lift your eyes up, see the horizon and what’s around you and let that reignite the sense of adventure you have for that passion & excitement around what you’re building. This moon is full of fire energy and is here to support you as long as you’re truly being honest with yourself. Use your voice, blunt honesty is one of the bold characteristics of Sagittarius and for some this can be uncomfortable, myself included. But the liberation in the freedom that comes with living in your truth is all the weight you need lifted off your shoulder at this time.
Follow your true north and find the house where 13° of Sagittarius is in your chart!

Jupiter in Taurus
May 16, 2023 - May 25, 2024
Today, Jupiter has entered Taurus, where it will remain for the next year.
Jupiter rules over expansion, growth, and abundance, while Taurus is associated with stability and material comforts.
Jupiter in Taurus brings focus on material abundance, stability, and growth. This alignment can indicate a time of financial prosperity as well as a desire for comfort and luxury. This placement gifts a more practical approach to life and brings a strong appreciation for the arts, beauty, and nature.
Jupiter is the benefic planet of optimism, joy, abundance, expansion and good fortune. It is also associated with higher learning, philosophy, and spirituality.
Taurus is the sign of the earth goddess, the ruler of money, our ideals, and the material world. Taurus is ruled by Venus and associated with being grounded, material comforts, and sensuality. This sign is practical, loves details, moves at a slow/steady pace, and values stability & security above all else.
So what else does this bring?
Appreciation. Appreciating the comforts that surround us in our homes and daily lives. The desire for the finer things and the quality which they represent, but recognizing the hard work that went into creating those luxuries.
Indulgence. Material possessions and luxury. Delicious foods, fine wines, expensive experiences. The influx of dopamine and pleasure from Jupiter in Taurus can be a time of over indulgence.
Presence. This is a time of magnifying presence. Being in the moment. Breathing in the beauty that surrounds us. Leaning into what makes us feel safe, and planting roots in ways that provide us with the lifestyle that supports our dreams. Jupiter and Taurus asks us to slow down to smell the roses. To be present to honor the process that bring order to our lives and to work on building a strong foundation for our dreams. To honor that which we can take in through our five senses. This is where sensuality flourishes.
Pleasure. This time is supporting you to find pleasure in the simplest of things, finding pleasure in the mundane. Can you find the pleasure in your day-to-day life? Can you slow down enough to truly take in the magic and wonder that’s around you? Give yourself the permission to indulge in life’s simple pleasures.
As a collective, we have all have access to this abundant energy. But, for each of us it is showing up in a different area of our lives. The house where Taurus is rooted in your birth chart is where Jupiter is bringing its expensive and joyful energy. This area of life you can expect to be highlighted and blessed by Jupiter in Taurus.
For me, I have Taurus in both my fourth and fifth houses. The fourth house is the house of family, home & my inner self. The fifth house is the house of self expression, romance, being seen, creativity, & the area of life where I enter the stage and seek an audience. Jupiter will activate my North Node while it is here as well. The North Node is your soul’s purpose and represents your key to enlightenment this lifetime, and I could not be more excited! I get to slow down and really take in the moments with my family. I’m reminded to slow down and honor what’s truly important and in the beauty that surrounds me. The peacefulness of where I live, the nature that surrounds me, the lake that I look at every day, the woods that I walk in, and the animals that surround me, where my true heart and soul lie. My self expression, creativity and what my destiny is pointing at this lifetime is being blessed by Jupiter.

Taurus in the 2nd House: Get clear on your finances. An organized foundation supports the wealth you seek. Manifestation at its best.

Scorpio Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
We have a full moon and Lunar Eclipse on Friday, May 5 at 1:34 PM Eastern time. A full moon in Scorpio, you can already feel the intensity behind this full moon. Full moons are intense already, but given the cosmic calendar of events that are happening around this full moon, (Lunar Eclipse, opposite Uranus, Mercury Retrograde) the energy that is building up to Friday is powerful. Themes for Scorpio revolve around death, rebirth, & transformation.
Does that make you uncomfortable? Good. It's time to move.
There is a deep psychological frequency radiating from this full moon. Where are you holding onto things that are no longer, or that you can’t bring with you as you step into this new phase of your life. What have you outgrown?
What do you need to shed like the snakes sheds its skin, in order to emerge in your new, bright, shiny self?
This lunar eclipse is happening over the South Node, which represents our comfort zones, where we default to, our past lives, the baggage we carry, what we know, and what we’re moving away from this lifetime.
Some things need to be removed, and that's why Uranus is involved, for the sake of radical change. Change is going to happen.
What is keeping you in the past, and how do you detach from it?
The area of life that is being illuminated for you is found in the house where you have 15 degrees of Scorpio.
Themes around a Scorpio full moon can bring up jealousy, manipulation, and control, because the ask is for you to let go of all that.
Moon in Scorpio is deep, it is shadow work, it is healing, all themes that can come up during this full moon, but a reminder to not forget to celebrate under the light of this radiant luminary. Release is beautiful. Intimacy is beautiful. Sex is beautiful. What drives you, your desires deserves to be celebrated. Pay attention to what bubbles up to the surface this week. What inner healing is calling from Mercury Retrograde that is still bringing up things from the past that which the intensity of Scorpio is asking us to heal from so that we can transform, be reborn, and thrive into the highest versions of ourselves?
On Friday night when you find yourself underneath the stars and the radiant glow of the full moon, take a breath and acknowledge the transformation that you have already gone through and celebrate what you’ve already accomplished. Yes, there is more work to be done, but don’t forget to celebrate your passions, the intensity, and that which you do with what you love, & the focus that you’ve demonstrated to get you where you are. These are all things that deserve to be celebrated. Celebrate who you no longer are, and who you’re leaving in the past. Take a look around at where you are how far you’ve come, and the transformation that you’ve already demonstrated that deserves to be celebrated.
Happy Full Moon
ashley
