Waning Trine Moon in Scorpio: Uncomfortable

I am late posting my thoughts on last night’s waning trine in Scorpio. Thinking it might still be helpful, here they are today.

The late Scorpio Moon trined the Sun and Neptune in Pisces. Each side sextiled the Capricorn group of Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn, with the tightest aspect to Pluto.

These are dark spaces. We’re thrust into emotions swirling around world events. We can’t see what’s real or true. We must navigate relying on our inner knowing and connections to outer realities other than the physical.

Is this where I’ve been? You bet.

In the last few days, my lovely travel plans have all evaporated. Clearly, in the overall scheme, this is nothing. But it’s happening because I am immune compromised and present a special risk. My children worry for me. I don’t want to be stupid.

Scorpio is Mars’ nighttime face and a place of anger. Deep, implacable anger. There is plenty to be angry about in the world and my biggest challenge over the last few days has been anger at my body, my immune system, that once again renders me incapable.

I share this to call out my own process and offer a less-than-optimal example of coping. But it’s real. I am guessing I am not alone.

What I truly am, is well supported, including deeply appreciated support from my astro community.

Trines are gifts. They are gifts we can miss if we’re not paying attention. The emotional funk I’ve been in is, therefore, also a gift. It’s a reminder I am human. That I must recognize my limits (thank you, Capricorn). That I need not be defined by those limits.

Emotions are real, essential parts of our lives. Before we can transform them, learn from them, set them aside, whatever—we need to feel them. This is not always comfortable. Sometimes it is best done in a place where we are well resourced. Still, it must be done.

Thank you to everyone who is helping, coping, tending, and standing strong. Thank you to everyone who is falling apart, struggling, and feeling overwhelmed. We need each other. We’re all connected.
