You can expect the period when Saturn transits conjunct your Moon to be difficult. It’s a really emotional low. This was brought home to me when my friend, Ben had the transit. I had known him for fifteen years at that point and I had never seen him in such distress.
Thankfully this transit only comes around once every 30 years. More than a decade has passed since that transit. Ben has never been down like that since.
The Moon is not well placed in Scorpio, it’s the sign of it’s fall. I hate mentioning this, because I have such an affinity with people who have this placement. My husband has a Scorpio Moon. But in practice, I am seeing people will their Moon in Scorpio hit terribly hard.
At this point, the transit has been focused on the people with their Moon at the early degrees of the sign. If your Moon is at the mid-degrees of Scorpio, you’ve probably also gotten a taste of this. Stuff with your home, your mother, your roots, your family. If your Moon in in a late degree of the sign, this stuff is looming.
There will be some help over the next year, thanks to Jupiter in Cancer which will ease things some. If you are having this transit, look for the Jupiter figure that should ’round somewhere.
I am talking about a generous (Jupiter) woman (Cancer). A teacher or teachings (Jupiter) that nurture (Cancer).
There is no way anyone will be able to take away your pain, or even minimize it. But there are people who can help prevent you from sinking into total despair. Look for them.
Is your Moon in Scorpio? Early, mid or late degree? How are you feeling?
I have moon in Taurus, and I remember the transit well, it’s despair to the core. With Scorpio being such a deeply feeling sign I can only imagine how tough this is on them
((Scorpio Moons))
yep, and I also have Saturn and mars in the 9th house too. luckily Mars is late degrees while moon and Saturn are conjunct 8-11 degrees. I truly feel I’m dying, maybe I am. maybe it’s not a physical death but I am dying. If it can go wrong it will has been my daily lesson ! NEVER have I faced, encountered such depressing Jinxed outcomes in EVERY situation or problem that arises. People avoid you (i would avoid me if could)because they don’t want to hear MORE bad news from you !i have a Sister who now ONLY texts me, that way she can control what we discuss and what she chooses to hear. This is hell.
Elsa, any suggestions ? My aquarius sun,asc.,venus and mercury are all being squared by natal scorp moon saturn conjunct 9th house 8-11 degrees mars is there too at 22 scorp. my health is not good , could this be the end ?Or do I continue to plod forward thinking this too shall pass ?My Aquarian side is wilting, never felt so beat down .
I’m sorry. I really have no idea, but my gut says it’s fear.
Late degree conjoining Uranus, sextile MC and trine Sun. Thanks for the warning. I’m already feeling moments of hostility towards her. We work (Saturn) together and she’s too sloppy without enough structure for my tastes. Her mgmt style is just like her mothering: lax, sporadic and neglectful. I’m currently cleaning up the mess (Saturn in Virgo) leftover from her neglect from 8 years ago. She lets people who she’s in charge of run wild. I hate, hate, hate, hate it.
I have saturn transiting my progressed moon, do you think this has the same effect? I’m feeling how you described:(
Rae, I also have saturn transiting the progressed Moon, plus my natal moon is in Scorpio. I’ve had the Saturn chasing the P. Moon transit now for 4 years, and went through it before….. for 4 years. It can last as long as 28 years. I don’t know if you have the transit in conjunction to the p. Moon, or square or opposition. I personally believe the conjunction is the easiest, but any way you look at it there is the feeling that you are going it alone…. alllllll alone, stripped down to the bare core of who you are, living with minimal resources in some cases, and definitely devoid of emotionally supporting relationships. The last time I had it, my then-husband was suicidal, I was pregnant and had absolutely no one but myself to get through that time. Fast-foward 12 years, I started going through it again, and lost my job, my home, went through bankruptcy and had to move 3000 miles to be near my family, which, it turns out, is not “family” at all. You are asked to be your own authority at this time– stand in your integrity, get down to the bare-bones of *who you are* and hold on to it, trust it and nurture it during the length of the transit. Endure, and persevere. Breathe, breathe, breathe. This too shall pass.
It’s not the same, RAE, but similar, for sure.
Elsa, over the years I definitely could feel your affinity toward Scorpio moons because you’ve written so many things that have been spot on. You really get us.
I have the moon at 10 degrees Scorpio conjunct Neptune conjunct the IC. This Saturn transit has hit me where I live. I feel some hostility toward my mom and lots of unresolved family stuff is coming up. I feel tearful a lot and angry but I also feel I’m getting to the bottom of things too.
But I feel very unsupported and alone.
It’s not all bad news, though, because natally Saturn squares my moon/Neptune conjunction so this transit energy feels a bit more constructive. I am making lifestyle changes and getting into better shape, jettisoning a lot of the unnecessary; whether it be an obsession, habit, person, etc. I just don’t feel the same way about things.
At the time the transit became exact, my twin nephews were born and an old root canal failed! Right now Saturn is hovering in the late 3rd house so I get to go through this all over again.
It’s also my Chiron return so I am taking a beating – the feeling, though, is down but not out.

Hang in there to my Scorpio moon Family!
Natal Scorpio Moon @8 deg, will go this transit twice because of Saturn retro…. 1st one, mom died. What is waiting for 2nd one I don’t know. Mom died because of my negligence. Though I took the best care but I wanted to have a break … couldn’t able to predict mom will leave us expect my care !! Guilty guilty guilty feelings every moment killing me. Dreaming her every night, talking with her every moment in my mind … no Jupiter can be able to make me calm down or get rid of the guilt for rest of my life.
Sona, I just have to comment. My mother was nursing my father through his cancer illness, and she also stepped away for awhile, and he passed. She also felt terribly guilty that she wasn’t there. I have been doing research on these things and it turns out that a lot of people actually *wait* until their beloved caretaker has stepped away before they can release and pass over. Sometimes it’s as if our love for them actually binds them to this earth, and they need to be able to go without the emotional energy we, out of our love, are putting out because we so desperately want them to stay. I deeply believe that your mother knows you did your best and that your guilt that is “killing you” is hurting her deeply because she loves you and wants you to be happy and does not want you to carry these truly useless guilt feelings over something that, in the end, brought her great relief when she slipped away. Please be at peace.
its a life long guilty feelings ….
(((((((sona))))))))
I think in this case it might be the Jupiter trine that will make emotional trials difficult but not deadly or permanently damaging. Also the hope and faith that others have in you might be what keeps you upright for a while.
My 13-year old daughter has her natal moon at 3′ Scorpio, and her ascendant at 5′ Scorpio. Her menses started when transiting Saturn conjuncted her moon, and she got braces when Saturn first crossed her ascendant. Pretty significant things in her life, but nothing too tragic or overwhelming.
My moon is 21’18 in Scorpio and for know it seems like everything is changing in its own way, but i can feel that something big will happen since i have a 1 degree orb to Pluto with my moon, but we shall see What Saturn has in store, while in my natal chart its located in my 7th house, in my relocation chart its located in my 8th house.
@Elsa is the conjunction in your opinion worse than the opposition? I have moon in Taurus so after Saturn finishes squaring my sun it will basically go straight into opposing my moon. Maybe a month or two in between.
I have heard before the opposition is more external events beyond your control and conjunction is more internal. Would you say that’s accurate?
I’d like to know about this one too. My moon is at 8′ Taurus and my sun is 8′ Pisces. Life is pretty rough for me right now.
Just my opinion, but I think it all depends on how your Moon is aspected. In my case, my Scorp Moon is the apex of a Uranus-Chiron opposition, so I have the t-square. When Saturn *opposes* my Moon it certainly seems as if someone “out there” is pointing a finger at me, telling me what an absolute dismal failure I am, the conjunction seems to be more internal where I bear the stick I beat myself with. But one way or another, it’s meant to be a transit where you become your own internal authority, where you stand in your integrity and know deep down who you are as a human being. The opposition just brings someone around who acts as Saturn, who you must calmly and resolutely stand before and say “this is me, this is my line in the sand, this is where I take my stand”.
I noticed it’s easy to get depressed chemically or situationally (not a word??) during a Saturn transit to one’s moon, square or conjunct otherwise!
My husband is having this and he is having such a hard time.
My poor sister is going through this. Plus her Saturn return is coming to an end.
My precious 5 year old granddaughter is having a time of it and she is just too little for all this. She cries easily and her parents get aggravated at her because she is sensitive. I could slap them both silly!
My moon is at 7 Scorpio. I definitely feel squashed, unable to move. I think my Aqua sun helps me adjust, once I learn there is nothing more I can do about it.
I’m not having issues with my mom, but I did have a few blowups with my boss–definitely not proud of it. She is now retired, but up until her last day we were arguing, which was awkward among all of the goodbye fanfare. She kept asking me for my opinion but then getting angry if she didn’t agree with me.
I’ve been having relationship issues with someone that completely confuses me. I’ve found that I’ve had to re-examine my core beliefs and question whether I really believe them or not. I’ve made some 180 degree changes in my thinking, but feel like I’m on a tightrope, not knowing if there’s a net below to catch me if I fall. It’s very unsettling, like I have to lay low for awhile until I can feel more secure again. Not fun.
15 degrees. Also having Saturn transit. I feel helpless and sad, powerless actually. I never feel like this! I am slowly losing my grip on everything /everyone I held close…. But it’s so slow. It’s like watching a bad movie when you can’t leave or hit fast forward. Just gotta sit through it.
Nov 3 2013 Solar Eclipse 11 Scorpio
great ! My moon is 11 degrees, Saturn 8 does this mean I implode ?
Moon at 16 Scorpio. Dreading this so much because I’ve been depressed before and tend to be gloomy and lose hope even at the best of times. Back in February when Saturn went retrograde and was the closest to my Moon it ever got to (I think it was the 11th degree?), my relationship ended. This entire retrograde period has been about me getting over it. Saturn was opposing my Taurus Venus at the same time. Gah.
((((ScorpioMoonGirl)))
Thank you Elsa. I have saved your tips for the coming conjunction and will think about who these Jupiter figures are for me. The good news is that Saturn will go direct in a matter of hours, and thus at least leave my Venus alone (my Venus is at 4 Taurus), and I will have some months before it’ll reach my Moon 🙂
I am looking forward to Saturn going direct as well. Right now it is squaring my Venus at 5 degrees Leo and my marriage is on the ropes.
((Scorpio Moon Girl))
It reaches my moon just before Christmas. Maybe we will get a little reprieve this late summer/fall ScorpioMoonGirl
Sorry to hear about your marriage Virgovixen! I hope it will survive, should you wish it to be so. If not, I hope you will be able to move on and continue your life. Yes, you’re right, we’ll get a little reprieve soon!
I have saturn conjunct moon in my natal horoscope – It is a life struggle (with my south node..)
A good friend of mine had this transit late last year, and around the time it was exact his girlfriend of several years broke up with him. It was one of the most miserable emotional states I’ve ever seen him in.
(As a Pisces moon, I feel an affinity with Scorpio moon people as well…but it doesn’t seem like an easy placement! Not that mine really is, either…)
My Moon is at 2 Scorpio, when Saturn hit my moon last year my mother had a cardiac arrest and died while I was alone with her. Rx Saturn brought me this spring the worst period in my life, I had constant anxiety attacks combined with the depression and confusion. But at the same time it gave me the opportunity to work on my deepest issues and to look at the darkest places in my soul. Support, inner strength, safty and control are the key words for me right now. Since my Venus, Mercury and Uranus are in Scorpio as well, I suppose more is to come.
((((((marta)))))))
Today is my lucky day! I have transiting Saturn in Scorpio conjunct my natal Moon conjunct Saturn, almost exactly. My natal Moon and Saturn are both at 4 degrees. I’m having my second Saturn return at the same time! Yay!
Seriously, this is such a dark time for me and I feel pretty discouraged. I’ve been unemployed since the first pass of my Saturn return in September 2012. My second pass is conjunct today. Aside from being unemployed, my dilemma is coming to grips with facing being 60 years old and how others perceive you, when it comes to job searching.
Another aspect I have in my chart is natal Neptune conjunct the Moon/Saturn conjunction. There is an 8 degree orb, applying, but the effect is still there just the same. Transiting Saturn activated it. I’ve been doing so much soul searching trying to find my place in this new phase of my life. I just explore, but I never find anything solid.
I’m no stranger to Moon conjunct Saturn (in Scorpio), or vice-versa. I would say that no matter how much I hurt inside, I always soldier on and keep it in. I have a critic inside that tells me I’m not good enough too. Privately, I deal with it all, the best I can.
My mother passed on years ago, but lately, she has been in my dreams. She tries to help me and show me things, but I’m not sure of the meaning.
I inquired recently about an antique shop for sale and today I got a response. Of course, its not that profitable, but I’m going to go see if I can fit. I think its a perfect example of what can happen with a Saturn Moon conjunction in the second house.
I too have Saturn Moon conjunct mine is in 9th though. Am in my 2nd return also, can’t seem to stop crying. I am so disappointed in the outcomes of about everything I attempt ! As if an EVIL sorcerer is secretly controlling my life. Your antique adventure sounds perfect, I hope you can work it out through your work.
oh my goodness, ladies. I also am facing my 2nd Saturn return, have transit Saturn conjunct natal AND progressed Moon, and was just laid off a week ago…. after it taking a YEAR to find the job I was in. There is such a crazy age bias… once they ask you when you graduated high school you are a goner because that date is sooooo long ago— college, well, you can graduate when you’re 45 so they don’t know until they see you how old you are. But resumes and online applications that ask the high school question, I think those are thrown out before they’re ever read. Plus, insuring older people is more costly. I have a 16 year old son whose father died a year ago, with no social security benefits to speak of, so I’m still a single mother in my later 50’s…. I am so disappointed about outcomes now, too. Maybe we need to form a “old fogey Astrology club”, lol!!!
Sorry to hear you lost your job. Trying to find another one in this job market is such a disheartening experience for people our age. I’ve run into the high school question plenty of times on applications and know that it was probably the reason my resume was tossed.
Now that my Saturn return is over, I can see that the job wasn’t really a good fit for me at this time in my life. I never did buy the antique shop I looked at, but I did start my own business out of my home. I’m almost ready to open my online jewelry/accessory store. Its risky, but I’m determined to make it work.
I was a computer professional before, so I built the website and am still setting up all the other aspects of my new business. I’ve learned a lot about websites and ecommerce in the process. Saturn isn’t done with me yet, though. Right now, transiting Saturn is conjunct my natal Mercury conjunct Venus. Blah! I really wish it would get the heck out of my 2nd house so I can make some money and have some fun again. Having no steady income is the pits.
I would characterize the Saturn return as an austere, sobering time. I see it as a period of hard lessons and facing hard realities. Now that its over, I can say it changed me fundamentally in a good way, but I don’t think the end justifies the means. It was harsh and I still have fresh wounds.
I hope you’ll be able to find some kind of work soon. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to be a single mother supporting a child in this economy. At least your son is old enough to work part time for some extra money.
We should have an old fogey Astrology club. We could discuss things like why Saturn gives you wrinkles and makes sure to remind you of your age at every turn. Thanks, Saturn!

I actually really liked the Saturn transit when it conjuncted my natal Moon…but I am a Libra Moon in the 2nd. Bought my first house under that transit! I have a natal Moon square Saturn so I’m sure that’s another layer to it.
Moon in Scorpio…the 2 people who hurt me the worst both had it (both Gemini Suns as well…). I try to stay away from being close with those with this Moon placement.
Group Hug for all the Moon in Scorpios who are hurting. hang in there. (also, we are misunderstood and mistreated quite often in our lifetimes. we are equipped to deal with the big soul crushing tests..right?)
Another hug and big love to all.
hello all! i, too, have a scorpio moon natally, and in the first house. saturn has been sitting on my moon for the last month, and was directly on it when it went retrograde in february. on the day saturn went retrograde, i was totally unexpectedly fired from my job. i’ve been looking for jobs ever since, and have been getting interviews, but so far have gotten nothing. i also had a roommate move into my place – haven’t had one in 7 years! and, severed ties unexpectedly with two long-time girlfriends around the time this transit started. despite all the intense and fundamental change, i do know deep down it is for the best, and many of the changes are good in the long run. i wasn’t happy in my job, though love my career; i had thought about getting a roommate but hadn’t; and, my old friendships were not supportive anymore. that, and many colleagues whom i thought were my friends have not been supportive at all. i’ve been making new friends, my family has been super supportive, and am hopeful to get a new job soon. really been feeling anxiety lately and, while strong, very tenuous personal confidence. i’m not sure where i’m going, but it feels like it will be a more solid place. big hugs to all!
Crushing!! Like si chi…sha energy. Scorp moon 12 degrees– one leg of a fairly tight Tsquare 11-8-5. Really hard on the kidneys and disposition. Waiting for that Jupiter figure… where is she? Send her in!!!
Going through my first saturn return, my moon is in scorpio at 6 degrees. Saturn’s transit is conjunct my moon, has been since November 2012, and ends next month.. Can’t wait. I’m 22, about to finish grad school and about to go into the ‘real world’. I have been feeling unmotivated about my degree, and have had numerous failed attempts at finding a job. I’m usually quite an optimist (jupiter exalted in cancer and 5th house), but lately not so much.
I cannot wait for this transit to pass. I’m having a hard time seeing what purpose all the confusion and low feeling this transit has brought, is serving or will serve.
One last short question for you Elsa. My moon is in my 8th house, along with Venus, Sun, Mercury and Pluto. What effect would saturn’s transit conjunct my moon in the 8th house have?
Thank you.
Hi Elsa
My Scorpio moon is at 1″5 degree and my Cancer sun is at 0″9 degree. I started to feel very lonely and unsupported since last Oct. I made a decision to move to another country last July to live and study so I can be with the man I love. It turned out we broke up last Dec and since then I’ve been feeling devastating, lonely and helpless. I can’t tell my family and friends because I don’t want them to worry about me. I’ve decided to continue my study here until I finish my degree. Although I’ve been telling myself to cheer up and focus on my work in school but I’m still feeling very painful and lonely. I heard Jupiter in Cancer can bring me joy and happiness. I hope he can help me to go through this lonely period. My mercury, mars and south node are also in Cancer. My ascendent is in 27 degree Sagi.
I have a 0 Scorpio Asc, 7 Moon and 11 Mars, and this Saturn transit is intense, but like most Saturn transits [I just had my second return] I find that the pain is in the resistance. Whatever it is that one is due to learn or let go of, the sooner you do it, the sooner you can move forward. I’m also seeing how much of my world is created from my interior, not that anyone is doing anything TO me, but that I take it that way, and it is time to stop. Tolerance, patience, stepping back from engaging in conflict and meditation, all these things make a Saturn transit such as this rich and useful. That said, I am certainly seeing energy and health impacts, but also see them as part of the process.
Loneliness is hard as stone, and particularly if combined with homesickness or heartbreak. Saturn is about bringing your reliance to your center, and hard as it is, if you’ve decided to go on with your studies, probably how the universe got you to that in the first place was the lure of a relationship, you are on the right track as far as Saturn goes. It is tough to face down the sense of devastation of loss of a dream, but when you do, when you get to the core of it, what really drives it, what you were actually reaching for, the importance of the appearance that is gone loses power over you. I hope this is helpful.
Hi Elsa,
..scorpio moon 6 degrees natal, and am feeling that all the isolation and *going down the hole* is now passing. I could begin to whinge about this if I choose, except I accept that for ALL of us==>This IS a Once in a life-line-life-time. I lost my adoptive mum 1st time around & this time I came within a few hours of death myself…but I cheated that grim-reaper…way back in May & decided that whatever saturn chooses to send is really all about Wisdom & Building Inner Strength…For all you lovely Scorpio Moon people out there…Hey WE ROCK! We go down that hole..scamper around–>turn into a Phoenix..jump out the Fire..And FLY Free as Eagles! Look for the bigger picture & know this will bring you a Diamond!!! WE ARE BUILT UNDER PRESSURE!
Mwah.XXXXX

Hello fellow Scorp Moons… I have Moon conjunct Neptune at 5.52 and 7.43. 2nd house. When Saturn backed up and hit my Neptune in April, I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery. It continued to back up and when it hit my moon again, I had to have root canal for the first time. Nine visits to the dentist and it’s still not done. Nothing but problems, delays and complications.
Triple whammy – my progressed Mars hit my natal Saturn in the 4th house at the same time. (One more year with that…) And the day I had the gallbladder surgery, Mars moved into my 8th house, and the moon was void of course. All of the so-called “classical” considerations were terrible! It makes me think that, in fact, I was right on schedule. Uncle, already!
Furthermore, right when Saturn hit my natal moon, my fundamentalist Mother decided to tell me that “God would never bless” my relationship and quoted scripture telling me that I deserved to die… Nice! For the first time in my life, I have gone ‘no contact’ with my abusive family. It has been a trip, and needless to say, very painful. BUT! Therapy has been incredibly productive and I will tell you that I can feel myself entering a very hard earned, and very REAL, new sense of self that is not based in illusions. I am so thankful that Saturn is finally moving off of my Moon!! But I am (wincingly) grateful for the internal movement toward a greater sense of authenticity. Staying attentive during the last pass over my Neptune… Keep your chins up! It will get better!!
Oh, and thanks so much, Elsa! So glad I stumbled onto this site. Nice to have the warmth and the support!
In Scorpio: Moon at 10 degrees…. Mercury 6 degrees & MC 1 degree (Neptune also at 22) All I can say is WOW!!! This is a wave of intense emotions for sure. I wonder if it is more pronounced/intense when you have a lot of plutonian energy in your chart. (4 of my planets are in the 8th house in triple conjunctions w/ Ceres & Pallas…. everything in my leads back to the 8th house. My Moon & Pluto are my chart dispositors. I have a bucket chart with Saturn as the Apex & as my chart ruler. Intense energy in my chart as it is.) It was almost unbearable, when Saturn was conj. my Mercury… at the same time Uranus was conj. my Saturn & Mars was square my Sun. Felt like I was in a self-destruct mode…. I couldn’t seem to do anything, but just sit and watch. I have felt some ease w/ Jupiter moving into Cancer in early July….., but things are cooking up again with Saturn moving onto my Moon. Lots of changes and shifts happening in my life….. looking at the fear & what is underneath it. Wanting to spend much time alone, not functioning very well in most aspects of my life ever since Saturn approached Scorpio. Have really only had energy for what I feel passionate about, anything that has to do with healing/spirituality. This Saturn Scorpio transit is what has got me looking into astrology… to gain some understanding as to why I am feeling the way I am feeling. Talk about a validating avenue… I had no idea. Through learning about astrology I’ve really been able to delve into understanding myself on a much deeper level & also understand and adjust my persepective of my relationships with others. It has been my saving grace along with my connection to the Devine/Source/God/Creator! I love it!!
Here is what I have noticed. ( I have moon at 7 Scorpio, mars at 11 in the first house). Saturn does not let up until you do. The message I get over and over is that I am not in charge, I cannot control the outcome of anything or the process. The only job I have is to pay attention, be honest, do what is called for and take it as it comes. Within that range of realities, I am finding a kind of liberation that is not dependent on others or on circumstances.
Wouldn’t it be interesting to somehow have a live internet discussion about this, as we all (scorpio moons) move through this interesting but challenging period. A forum of educational spelunking in the Cave of Scorpio.
Yeah, if we could get y’all to reveal, lol!
I could. I have an Aquarius sun and mercury
Aquarius sun, asc., venus, mercury conj. 1st house (venus in 12th by hair) Saturn ,moon,mars Scorp. 9th ! will share ! K80, we could Really talk !
I am, I said, because I said I am.
My power, I know, because I know, my power.
Who it is I am, you may not know,
nor how I know, you know, I know,
but how I know, is secret self,
a secret grown within myself,
and if you wish for me to reveal
and have no wish from me to steal,
that secret centred in the dawn,
that perpetual motion, a spiral born;
then torture self with seeking ways,
hunger and thirst for many days,
and when at last you search the dark
and find your food in rotten bark,
and also slake your thirst in hell
by drinking water from your wishing well,
perhaps you’ll note the time stand still,
and see in life, your power of will.
🙂 Simon could reveal that King David and his son Salomon gave everybody since, the way to be joyful, happy and prosperous.:-)
My moon’s at 19 Scorpio and this transit will be exact for me on 9/17/2014. This takes place in my 6th natal house, and my Venus is right next door at 20 Scorpio. Moon/Saturn+Venus=dancing and romancing the devil, indeed! 🙁 (We Scorp moons don’t exactly shy away from that, do we.)
A couple of immediate connections I’m making re. this transit are: 1) a crisis involving my mother. She was moved into assisted living a couple of weeks ago… the precipitating event was that, a few weeks ago, she literally couldn’t hold her head up anymore–this is an actual medical condition called “dropped head syndrome.” She was pretty spry for her age (she’ll be 81 on 10/7) until several years ago; then, she started to decline rather quickly. I don’t have an exact birth time for her, but an 8am chart with her date and place of birth puts her ASC at 4 Scorpio. Weirdly, there’s *nothing* aspecting her ASC and it’s otherwise an untenanted house for her. She also appears to have a natal cardinal cross clusterf**k going on: Uranus conj. Nessus in Aries/6th; Pluto in Cancer/9th; Sun conj. Mercury in Libra/12th; Ceres conj. Moon, conj. Saturn in Capricorn/3rd… and almost all of it is taking place in the early 3rd decan of her chart. I am sadly wondering if she is going to cross over late next summer or early next fall.
2) Next spring, I’ll be starting an apprenticeship with a highly respected (though not well-known) witchcraft teacher. I think she’s likely to be, for me, that Jupiter/Cancer/teacher female noted toward the end of the original post. There are a couple other possibilities, too, so it’s good to know the support can/will probably be there.
Thank you for all you do, Elsa!
Scorpio Moon (17 degrees) conjunct Neptune and AC reporting in. Hugs to all my fellow Scorpio Moons that are feeling this crush.
Elsa, you’re advice is spot on! I’m feeling pretty lucky actually, because transiting Jupiter is currently trine my Moon (exactly), as well as trine my Neptune & AC, and my stellium in Pisces (Chiron, Mars, Mercury). That’s a ton of Jupiter support and I’m feeling confident that whatever happens, I’ll be bouncing back.
