February 13th: Scorpio Last Quarter Moon
This is the closure of the Aquarius lunar cycle, which started with the new moon in Aquarius on January 21st. Now, with the last quarter moon, we see the Sun and the Moon again 90 degrees apart from each other, making a square, just like in the first quarter moon. But this second square prompts us to empower ourselves through wisdom. Especially because it is in the sign of Scorpio, will power and the strength to deal with difficult feelings are a theme of this period.
So, every last quarter moon is a time for self-empowerment, but this last quarter moon in Scorpio is also about strengthening the soul. We should find the house which has Scorpio in its beginning because this is the area of our lives where we are being called to become stronger and know our will power to transcend pain and fear.
Moon in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces (exact)
Moon trine Venus in Pisces
Venus conjunct Neptune
Pisces is the very last sign of the zodiac, and it is a mutable water sign, which means it is about the emotional process of transcendence. It connects us to transcendent realities and we experience this connection on the heart level.
Isn’t it just amazing how love can soften our hearts, how it can connect us to others on a very deep level? Love can open our hearts to the reality of the soul, the soul that connects us all. And love will make us know that reality, even if it has to break our hearts to make us see it.
So, what is love? This Scorpio last quarter moon may be breaking our hearts, or exposing some deep emotions and fears we didn’t really know we had. And it will make us feel vulnerable and weak. But it is exactly in this moment of crisis that we can experience a connection to others on a deeper level, much deeper. In other words, we can experience love.
The Moon is in an exact harmonic aspect with Neptune and also Venus in Pisces, thus, Venus is conjunct Neptune in Pisces. This is true unconditional love, a love which is capable of great acts of sacrifice. And this high, very high, vibration is such a balsam to the soul. It is the most powerful medicine to heal our broken hearts.
Moon in Scorpio square Saturn in Aquarius
Saturn asks us to deal with reality. There is a need to be very honest with our emotions and also to be more mature about them. We are growing as souls and evolving through these emotions now, maybe more than ever.
We may have been aware of changes happening or needing to happen in our lives now, and we may have been trying to rationalize the process, but now during the Scorpio last quarter moon, we are face to face with our deepest emotions and fears. No matter how irrational they might seem to us, we just can’t avoid feeling it now.
This is certainly a time for serious considerations which may involve family matters and the people you love. This is a time to be very aware of how you feel about them. If there are boundary issues, this is a time to address them too.
During this time, there are some shadows we can finally dissipate in our consciousness. It means there are unconscious feelings and perceptions in us that we are finally becoming more conscious of. And this awareness is pushing us to make transformations in our lives, transformations that are so important that we make.
We are supposed to have greater clarity on certain issues, come to the core of matters, to see the real problem in a situation. And becoming aware of it will push you to transform ourselves much more easily.
Sun conjunct Saturn in Aquarius
This is a time for finally climbing one more step in our evolutionary stairway. We can become really more mature in regards to our intentions, more aware of the hard work it may be involved in actually manifesting our intentions. We want to make improvements in our lives but we now see that we must transform ourselves before we can transform our external reality.
Saturn teaches us that nothing really lasting and meaningful in our lives will be built over night. The most treasured experiences we can have will come from our capacity to embrace our true responsibilities in life. Not the ones other people have put on us, but the ones we have come to understand are really our responsibilities in this life.
Now, if we have somehow been putting these responsibilities on someone else’s shoulders, now is certainly a time which requires that we transform ourselves. If we have relied too much on someone else for security, now our foundations may be shaken. And this is a call from the universe for us to change and mature, understanding that nothing lasts forever in one form, but everything trans-forms.
Aquarius is a future oriented sign. The Sun and Saturn united in Aquarius are asking us to look to our future and make decisions now based on what we can visualize about our future. And we must use all the wisdom (Saturn) that we have gathered until here. We must apply our wisdom because this wisdom is helping us deal with what is ahead of us, what we can now see that lies ahead of us.
Jupiter in Aries inconjunct the South Node in Scorpio
There is no going back if we really want to embrace our soul growth process. This is a time to finally choose whether we want to move ahead or stay in our comfort zones, whether we want to face our fears or stay limited by them. So, have faith!!
Mercury in Aquarius square the Nodes
During this time, maybe in a very uncomfortable manner, we may come to realize that we need to change our minds about something, or change the way we communicate or articulate an idea or plan. This is a time to go beyond self-limiting beliefs and outdated ways of communicating to others. Being insightful and innovative may be challenging this time, but much needed.
Mercury has just conjunct Pluto before this last quarter phase. We have possibly completed something that took us a long time, or a lot of discipline and self-control to complete, and now there is a need to sort of change the focus. Maybe we have completed a step in a bigger project, and now need innovative ideas for the next step. Or maybe we have come to the end of a chapter in our life’s story, and now need to write the next chapter.
Mercury in Aquarius is helping us see the bigger picture now, and how each step is important and must be dealt with with care in a project or situation. We can see now how each individual is important in a group that we are a part of. Mercury in Aquarius is helping us see our lives as a big web where each person, each experience we have, each action we take, make changes to that web. So, what do we want to connect to, so we can feel this web of our lives as a supportive and loving one not only to ourselves but others?

This is a time to move through a crisis with hope and a strong heart. It really is the end of an era! And it may also be a time for big transformations in our lives.
