"Scorpio Moon: Can be brooding, vindictive, and resentful, dredging up past hurts. A good time to be alone and heal yourself, rethinking life strategies. Excellent for insight into your own motives and those of others. Sensuous. Power plays and manipulations abound, so don’t react too fast. Satisfaction in research, seeking insight, self-help groups, therapy." ~ Donna Cunningham

"If you want to say good-bye to someone and be sure it sticks, do it on a Scorpio moon." Our moon advisor laughs. "It’s a great day to do laundry for the same reason! The dirt will lift off and disappear! But don’t air your bedding now. Can you feel how damp it is? The moisture will stay in the pillow feathers long after you bring them in. Although the damp is great for your vegetables." She leads you through her garden. "Soil takes to fertilizer now—I’m not talking about that chemical kind! Organic is a must. See how lush this darling is?" She touches a large leafy plant unfamiliar to you. "I planted it on a Scorpio moon. Bugs got everything else in the same bed, but not this one. What you plant during Scorpio is extra hardy and resistant. Any medicinal herbs you gather now will be particularly effective." She looks up and watches a solitary raven wheel across the sky. She closes her eyes and breathes in deeply, as though she just got a message she was waiting for. "Let’s go in for some yarrow tea." The blinds are drawn; the room feels cozy and warm. Now for the reason you're here: she is ready to read your cards. "The messages are very clear on a Scorpio moon. We can go as deep as we want. Those little corners we don’t want to look at? Today we’re ready to see them. That’s good!" She carries a box with a gold inlaid snake on top. Inside are her cards, wrapped first in a black, then a red, scarf. "Of course, the deeper you go, usually the more passion you find. Everybody nowadays keeps too much of their good stuff hiding within. But not you, eh?"
