The Heart of a Scorpion

Transiting Moon is in Scorpio and I’ve been having very Scorpionic conversations. About shared resources, slavery, the perceived divide between what we call our “mind” and what we call our “heart.” About the latter, I’m hoping my friends will write about that. They’ve hit on something interesting and it will make a valuable astrology post.

Today’s Sky – Scorpio :: Passion :: Punishment

Wine red: the color of Scorpio passion

I subscribe to Big Sky Astrology on Facebook and it tells me that today the Moon is in Scorpio and it’s a good time to “perceive, confront, and transcend.” And this is exactly what you should do when the Moon plunges into the deep, inky depths of Scorpio. But Venus is still in a tight trine to Pluto, repeating the Scorpio theme of passion and all I can think is that sometimes passion is its own punishment.

 If I had to pick a song for today, it would be Cutting Crew’s I Just Died In Your Arms. Look at the lyrics:

 

 

 

 

 

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

 I keep looking for something I can’t get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don’t see an easy way to get out of this

 

Her diary it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would’ve thought that a boy like me could come to this

 

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

 

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must’ve been some kind of kiss
I should’ve walked away

 

Is there any just cause for feeling like this?

Technically, with Venus having moved to 1 Virgo, the trine to Pluto at 0 Capricorn is waning. But, boy, I can still feel it! Pluto, the guy packs a punch! So if you want a “just cause for feeling like this,” you just tell them that, okay?

P.S. With the kind of synchronicity that makes us believers, Nick Van Eede, the lead singer of Cutting Crew has his Neptune and North Node in Scorpio opposing Moon and Venus in Taurus. Oh, he knew what he was singing about. Probably a Scorpio woman.

Natal Moon in Scorpio

I hate it when my affection
gets randomly engaged

I loathe these arbit connections
What a waste!

I begrudge them
the mind space they occupy

I dislike the clutter
that they create in my mind

I don’t know how to love
without attachment

I don’t know how to do it
with Aquarian detachment

So I’m sitting here
With my brooding moon

I’m wanting to go Zen with it
Wanting it, and wanting it soon.
