Scorpio is known for being the most emotionally intense sign. This can be difficult for Scorpio-they feel everything so deeply, and they often act on feelings over facts. But it’s also a blessing. Scorpio gets to know people on a whole new level once they open up because they can fully understand and empathize with their emotions. We’ll all be starting off October with a small dose of this-on October 2, the Moon enters Scorpio. The moon represents our hidden, subconscious self, so as you can imagine, this is a time to look inward and really focus on processing our emotions-which will be more intense at this time. Here’s how the Moon in Scorpio might affect you, and how to deal with it:
- You might feel like an emotional wreck.
Look, there’s no avoiding it-if you usually push your emotions under and avoid dealing with them, the Moon in Scorpio will stir them up and make them impossible to ignore. This can really throw you off balance, and you might find yourself dwelling on painful events in your past that you never dealt with properly. Self-care is essential, so block out time for yoga, mediation, and candlelit bubble baths. Don’t be ashamed if you need a lot of alone time!
- You might want to disconnect-but there’s a right way to do it.
Turning off your phone, giving yourself a break from social media, and spending time with just yourself and your journal probably sounds pretty appealing when you’re in the midst of an emotional spiral. And it can be a great way of processing everything you’re feeling! But make sure you don’t take it too far and refuse help from well-intentioned friends. Disconnecting doesn’t have to mean total isolation. Spending time with people who fully understand you is necessary for healing.
- You might feel a little lost.
All the emotions that the Moon in Scorpio brings up can really send you into a tailspin, and it can leave you questioning everything. You might find yourself asking if you really know who you can trust, or if you’re going down the right path in life. Give yourself a couple days-or even weeks-to let everything settle down before you make any decisions regarding these revelations. There’s no need to rush things or be rash. Instead, take lots of time to process, reflect, and analyze, and don’t be too hard on yourself.
- You might feel like your journey in life is out of your control…
….and it’s true. Well, kind of. We don’t have full control over anything in our lives except for our reactions to what happens to us. With the Moon bringing up unresolved issues and painful memories, it’s easy to fall into the rut of thinking that you don’t have a choice in what happens to you. And you usually don’t-but you ALWAYS have a choice in how you respond to it. Keep this in mind as you move forward in the comings months. It’s a powerful lesson that can change your whole outlook on life.
