Scorpio Moon Spread

Hey Moonchild!
I’m back with another Moon cycle spread in preparation of the Dark & New Moon in Scorpio that will mark the start of next week! (Dark moon in Scorpio happens the 28th at 2am UT) We just got into Scorpio season the 24th (Sun in Scorpio) so the energy is relatively fresh still.

If you are not familiar with working with the moon I encourage you to read my blog The Moon.

Scorpio Energy

Scorpio is a fixed water sign in Astrology and focuses on our emotional state in relation to transformation, shadows and taboo. Scorpio has an intensity to it that goes with diving deep, but one of the side effects of this can be a lack of trust. This is however a great time to uncover our shadows, transform ourselves into better versions of ourselves. It’s a call on taboos that are essentially a part of us we are trying to hide.

I know these themes are playing a big role for myself right now and have been getting more to the front as of late, and I think I noticed a similar vibe with others, so I hope this will give you some clarity and focus.

Scorpio Moon Spread

It’s not for nothing the Death card in tarot is associated to the sign of Scorpio and that Scorpio is ruled by Pluto the planet of deep transformation. The cycle of ending so that something can rise anew, like a phoenix. Getting rid of the old, uncomfortable, unserving.

So that’s what I focused this spread on, the transformation we’re called to create this cycle and how we can best approach it.

1. What are you in need of ending, changing. What needs to fall so you can rise. If you read reversed consider both.
2. What you’re currently doing in regards to this.
3. What is the advised action to take.
4. What do you need to look out for / may be a struggle you’ll face.

Example Reading

Here’s my example spread using the Darkness of Light tarot, 3rd edition. I thought this was the perfect spread for this deck to make its debut on the blog.

1. What are you in need of changing.
   • 6 of Wands: Allow yourself to see your successes, acknowledge the victory and rid of self-doubt. Don’t let a lack of recognition put your down and punish yourself for it. If you see the victory that’s all that matters.
2. What you’re currently doing in regards to this.
   • 2 of Cups R: You’re out of balance with yourself, you’re not communicating properly about what you need and feel and it’s creating tension.
3. What is the advised action to take.
   • The Fool: Start anew, approach something with a free spirit free of doubt and prejudice. As a major arcana this may hint at something bigger, but not necessarily, either way, you need to start a new journey.
4. What may be a struggle you’ll face.
   • 6 of Cups: This initially may feel like an odd one. I interpret it as getting stuck in memories of the past. Maybe of failures and successes or how you wish you’d done things differently. It’s okay to look for patterns in the past but don’t get stuck there, we’re trying to change that to be better.
