Congratulations, Scorpio. You’ve made it through the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse Full Moon, during a year where the South Node is also in our sign, applying tremendous pressure on us internally and externally. You’ve let yourself crumble into ash, and now you’re rising from it. You can take your time as you craft your intentional rebirth, because Mercury Retrograde in Gemini is encouraging you to gracefully learn from your past, release grudges, and stay light-hearted as you transcend previous limitations and blockages. On the surface, people think you’re your typical mysterious, covert self, but beneath the surface? This lunar eclipse has shaken you to the core, by urgently asking you to remember your divine gifts, and act accordingly.

This week is about gratitude, Scorpio. If you don’t yet have a gratitude journal, this would be the ideal time to get one. You may want to focus on how far you’ve come since the New Moon in Scorpio occurred during Scorpio Season 2021. If you wrote down your new moon intentions six months ago, or spoke them into existence (or are in the process of doing so), take time to review what you once said you wanted. The Lunar Eclipse in our sign, Mercury Retrograde in Gemini, and Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn are all encouraging you to let go of previous desires if they no longer align with your current ones. Life’s a process of change and transmutation, and this eclipse season has had you shedding old skin and purging dead weight like never before. This eclipse week, take time to write down what you’re grateful for having manifested, gained, lost, and re-found these past six months. Celebrate your evolution and how brilliantly you’ve soared, even on the not so brilliant days.

Some of the purging process has been painful. Some of it can’t even be described in words. For many of us, there’s one specific song we played on repeat that was our saving grace during some of our most self-destructive moments these past six months. And with the Moon shifting into Sagittarius Monday through Wednesday, an interesting perspective is likely to occur: you’ll find yourself laughing at your most somber moments, and finding your vulnerability to be your greatest strength. Your post-eclipse self is further awakening to the potency of your intuitive wisdom, and it’s no longer fearing it but rather fully actualizing it. By Thursday, when the Moon shifts into Capricorn, you’ll feel like you have a game plan for how you want to spend the rest of the month, and you may very well enter a new consciousness of sorts, where nothing stands in the way of that game plan coming to life. But remember, Scorpio, all games have plot twists, re-routes, challenges, and rules — so take your time as you decide what your game rules are for this new life you’re activating. It’s a wonderful life to be living.

The Moon’s in Aquarius for most of the weekend, before shifting into Pisces on Sunday morning. After the intensity of the eclipse portal, the Aquarius and Pisces Moons encourage Scorpios to nest for a bit. Keep cleansing your space and making room for fresh energy — the Gemini New Moon in two weeks will feel very airy and free-flowing, so the lighter you can feel physically and psychologically, the better. On Sunday, you’ll be in a romantic and profoundly creative mood, making it an ideal time to cuddle with yourself and/or bae(s) and fall asleep to your dream playlist. I’mma plug my EP of dreamy mantras and meditations, Dream with Dossé-Via, as you meditate and end the weekend on a soulful note. Enjoyyy.

Whenever you’re in a romantic mood this week, have fun perusing SM’s Compatibility Forum, where we’ve been sharing insights on our compatibility the different zodiac signs since 2014!
