Black, White & Shades of Grey
I have some news! Some of you know I stopped doing the monthly horoscopes and focused on the weekly transits. I’m not here to say that I will no longer be posting weekly overview horoscopes. I will however be picking a couple transits each week and posting about them individually.
In 2016, I began mapping transits in a pretty intense way. Now, I want to go back to what I love, natal astrology. I want to help people make sense out of their charts and understand the language of astrology.
So, instead of just listing all the overarching energies for the week. I plan to take a transit and dive into it in a way that each person can see how it might be impacting and showing up for them.
I am still doing weekly horoscopes for Patreon members, covering the main transit for the week, tarot energy, love, career and the Moon Phase for each sign of the zodiac. I just won’t be posting a long weekly horoscope any longer.
Each Monday now, I’ll post the Moon sign and Nakshatra for the week. Throughout each week, most likely on Wednesday’s and Friday’s I’ll post about two single transits along with the Moon phase. Obviously Patrons will get this early access, or as and when I create each post.
If you follow my Facebook/Instagram stories, I will begin again to update you daily with the influence of energies as the Moon shifts between the Nakshatras and what it can bring to your day-to-day experience. (I've been on a hiatus from social media)

MOON IN SCORPIO
SHADOW KEEPER!
The Moon in Scorpio sets the tone for the week, bringing themes around truth, power, and control. Scorpio is the area within the cosmos that deals with secrets and metamorphosis. It’s that place where things go, when you’d rather hide, instead of, deal. When you pack too much stuff inside, it’s only a matter of time before it implodes and destruction ensues.
You can think of Scorpio like radiation, or some other chemical compound that in a certain environment is rendered safe or neutralized. When that environment becomes compromised, that’s when it gets deadly and destructive.
Ruled by Mars, the planet of our motivation, energy, and strength, and Pluto, the planet of rude awakenings, hades, and destruction, the week can center around dealing with matters as they arise instead of suppressing them.
Scorpio energy is fixed, it aims to preserve what is, it sticks and clings to the power it possesses. Scorpio’s energy brings the need for certainty, knowledge, and truth; it's where the power lies.
The Moon in Scorpio provides the courage required to journey into the dark, to face the fears that hide in the shadows. Scorpio governed by Mars represents the passion, motivation, and tenacity to see a mission through. It’s the three things required for each of us to accomplish our goals.
Mars is a soldier, he doesn’t kill because he enjoys it, he does so to fulfill his purpose in protecting his people. The art of war is Scorpio’s forte. Mars is unpredictable, skilled, and prepared to take action. Mars is our motivation, it’s always ready, continually training towards a mission and purpose.
Moon in Scorpio is bringing your awareness to something you’ve been repressing. It shows you an ugly truth, the icy cold reality of something that needs to change and now. Scorpio is Ice, it’s deadly but contains within it deep psychic insight. It’s one of the most intuitive signs and the Moon journeying here is not for the faint of heart.
It’s not something you want, but something that befalls you, out of duty and honor. Scorpio is intoxicating, scary, it’s our shade, where the darkest parts of ourselves are made. It feeds on control, power, and winning.
When the Moon is in Scorpio, we become a lot more intense, feelings are heightened and truth seeps out into the open. It awakens us to our truth, to buried things and desires. It creates an opening for healing to commence if only you’re willing to venture into those dark spaces.
So, when we deal with Scorpio energy, we deal with the truth behind all that keeps us stuck, powerless, controlled, and obedient. Scorpio is fixed, meaning it keeps things as they are; only like most Ice, it melts if not temperature controlled.
The week, therefore, beginning in Scorpio is sure to bring change and revelations your way. It’s an energy that will address matters of security, protection, control, addiction, and the list can go on.
Scorpio rules addictions, liberation, control, and power-play dynamics. You see, Scorpio picks up on the hidden and the more carnal nature of a person. It seeks to know what lies behind the mask you wear so well, he seeks to trade in secrets, power, and influence.
When the Moon is in Scorpio we become a lot more aware of the subtleties. Temptations arise, the desire to take shortcuts and make a deal with the devil, so to speak. It’s reading between the lines, tune in to the world around us, and all that goes unsaid.
When you think of Scorpions (the creature), you think of them as being untrustworthy, tricksters, and deadly. Scorpions are pretty poisonous, they’re survivalist and not above sexual cannibalism. Scorpions are arachnids, and their symbolism is tied to all things we fear. They’re sensitive to light, reside in the dark, hide under rocks, in the sand, and live in deserts and caves. They’re mostly solitary; some can even live up to 800m underground.
A week beginning under the Scorpio, bringing the energy of both Pluto & Mars is sure to awaken you to a forgotten truth. Perhaps a secret will surface or the past will re-emerge. What’s clear is it will bring a change, awakening, and truth calling for action.
VISHAKHA
BLACK, WHITE & SHADEs OF GREY!
The week begins under Vishaka, the Lunar mansion of multiple roads to the destination in mind. It’s an energy of being in two minds, feeling torn to pick either or, when actually there’s a middle path.
Vishaka brings a notion of all roads leading you to the same place. It’s how two things are entwined and produce something for the other.
So, this week be open to new experiences, and be open to change. Vishaka is the path we take to reach our goals, there’s no wrong path, it’s all a journey and a learning experience. You don’t need to live up to other people's expectations of you during weeks like these. It’s when you walk your own path, you find what feels right for you and you keep on doing it.
Vishaka also teaches how opposite things can benefit us. You might think that there is no way you would ever do something, or be friends with someone who is so opposite to all you are. Truth is, that we benefit from those interactions and so do the opposites.
If someone is critiquing you this week, don’t take it personally. Although the week can bring about brutal honesty it can awaken us to realisations about things we’d not ever considered before. Try not to measure yourself up against others' successes. Never compare your beginning with someone else's middle.
Vishaka is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck, expansion and wisdom. It’s about purpose, gathering the data and knowing that your journey is being guided. Go along for the ride.
For your weekly horoscope, for your Zodiac Sign, they'll go live tomorrow, on Patreon (run from Tuesday-Tuesday). If you enjoyed this post & would like to support the site please feel free to share it.
Until then, have a wonderful week.
