During the waning Moon in Scorpio a deep rebirth begins: changes arise from within, revealing what was already seeded before. On the lunar day it’s important not to strain or force events — better to observe, analyze and gently accept what is happening. Scorpio’s energy helps to look into the shadow and release old stereotypes, complexes and prejudices; those clinging to outdated patterns will struggle. These shifts often resemble tiny sprouts — hard to notice at first, but over time they will indicate the path and guide your direction. Use the lunar day for gentle release rituals: keep a journal, meditate, practice simple farewell rituals to the past and spend more time with family — especially since separations are felt particularly painfully during this period.
