Scorpio Moon — Ruby Slipper Astrology

Moon/South Node is the heavy pull towards the past. Old prompts or the need for intensity keep you stuck in a pool of stagnating emotions. This is the addiction to darkness, secrets, extremes. 

The transiting Moon is a brief influence so you may only dip your toe into the waters of the past, but still – it will feel heavy. Fortunately, you’ve got a Uranus opposition to pull you away from what was as clarity is dumped on you. The light and the truth hit, wrenching you forward. This can manifest as someone’s jarring actions (oh yes, that’s why they’re not good for you) or any unpredictable event that forces you to detach. 

Moon square Venus finishes things off on a dissatisfied note as what you want (freedom, independence, clarity) challenges the need for depth and intimacy. You’ll want more of something but all the usual sources won’t cut it and it’s that unsatisfied craving that will push you to look elsewhere. Remember that Venus rules the Taurus North Node (future) so the way forward involves coming to terms with those conflicting wants and needs. 

The future holds a promise of peace, abundance, stability. Something you can touch, something that allows you to grow while you put down new roots. You get there by trying something new now– declaring your freedom and honouring your individuality. Daring to seek happiness in unknown places that call to you even as others question your values. The unmet need for intimacy will not be met with the same old people and scenarios.
