Scorpio

The lunar events falling across the year ahead, and what each means for you.

Sat 12 Sep

New Moon in Virgo

Aspect to Scorpio Sextile

Compatible elements — fire with air, earth with water. Easy, cooperative and rarely explosive.

Sat 19 Sep

First Quarter in Sagittarius

Aspect to Scorpio Semi-sextile

Neighbouring signs share a border and little else. They tend to find each other slightly baffling in a way that is more irritating than dramatic.

Sat 26 Sep

Full Moon in Pisces

Aspect to Scorpio Trine

Same element. The smoothest combination in the zodiac — mutual understanding without translation, at the risk of never being challenged.

Sat 3 Oct

Last Quarter in Cancer

Aspect to Scorpio Trine

Same element. The smoothest combination in the zodiac — mutual understanding without translation, at the risk of never being challenged.

Sat 10 Oct

New Moon in Libra

Aspect to Scorpio Semi-sextile

Neighbouring signs share a border and little else. They tend to find each other slightly baffling in a way that is more irritating than dramatic.

Sat 17 Oct

First Quarter in Capricorn

Aspect to Scorpio Sextile

Compatible elements — fire with air, earth with water. Easy, cooperative and rarely explosive.

Sat 30 Jan

Last Quarter in Scorpio

Aspect to Scorpio Conjunction

The same sign twice: instant recognition, and the same blind spot doubled. Nobody in the pair is positioned to supply what the other lacks.

Sat 6 Feb

New Moon in Aquarius

Aspect to Scorpio Square

Same modality, clashing elements. Genuine friction, and genuine momentum: this pairing produces change, not comfort.

Sat 13 Feb

First Quarter in Taurus

Aspect to Scorpio Opposition

Opposite signs sit across the wheel. Each holds exactly what the other lacks, which makes the pairing either complementary or exhausting.

Sat 20 Feb

Full Moon in Leo

Aspect to Scorpio Square

Same modality, clashing elements. Genuine friction, and genuine momentum: this pairing produces change, not comfort.

Sat 27 Feb

Last Quarter in Scorpio

Aspect to Scorpio Conjunction

The same sign twice: instant recognition, and the same blind spot doubled. Nobody in the pair is positioned to supply what the other lacks.

Sat 12 Jun

First Quarter in Virgo

Aspect to Scorpio Sextile

Compatible elements — fire with air, earth with water. Easy, cooperative and rarely explosive.

Sat 19 Jun

Full Moon in Sagittarius

Aspect to Scorpio Semi-sextile

Neighbouring signs share a border and little else. They tend to find each other slightly baffling in a way that is more irritating than dramatic.

Sat 26 Jun

Last Quarter in Pisces

Aspect to Scorpio Trine

Same element. The smoothest combination in the zodiac — mutual understanding without translation, at the risk of never being challenged.

Sat 3 Jul

New Moon in Gemini

Aspect to Scorpio Quincunx

Nothing in common: different element, different modality, different polarity. Requires deliberate effort to even understand each other.

Sat 10 Jul

First Quarter in Libra

Aspect to Scorpio Semi-sextile

Neighbouring signs share a border and little else. They tend to find each other slightly baffling in a way that is more irritating than dramatic.

Why this is a list rather than a story

The dates above are astronomy — they are the same for everyone and were fixed long before anyone asked. What is added is the geometry between each lunar position and your sign. Anything beyond that would be invention, and inventing it is what makes most long-range horoscopes worthless.

Computed for the year ahead

The moon returns to Scorpio 14 times this year

Angles and focus below are computed against Scorpio, so this table differs for every sign. How it is worked out →

0 harmonious angles to Scorpio — trines and sextiles, where the moon's sign and yours share an element or a temperament.
0 tense ones — squares, oppositions and quincunxes, where the two signs have no easy way to translate between them.
Even is how the year ahead tilts for Scorpio specifically. The dates below are the same for everyone; the angles are not.
