Moon in Virgo · New Moon, 2% lit · your 11th house of friends, groups and hopes
Let's start with the sky. The Moon is in Virgo today (new moon, 2% lit), which for Scorpio is the 11th house of friends, groups and hopes. Think of it as the background music today. Sun is in Libra, Scorpio's 12th house of rest, secrets and endings, which adds a second layer. Venus is in Scorpio, Scorpio's 1st house of self and how you show up, retrograde. The useful move is small and specific. Choose one thing to do with care and let the rest be ordinary. Try this: before you answer anyone today, take one breath longer than usual.

About Scorpio
all or nothing, mostly all · intense, private, magnetic, loyal
Sun in Scorpio: You go deep or not at all. Surfaces bore you; truth, even uncomfortable truth, draws you.
Moon in Scorpio: You feel everything fully and show almost none of it. Trust is the whole game.
Scorpio rising: People sense power and reserve; they are curious and slightly careful around you.
Gift: the nerve to face what others avoid. Shadow: holding grudges like heirlooms.
