THREE WORDS: COMPLEX, FRUSTRATING AND DOMINATING

Let's hope you have built up some strength during the Virgo and Libra
moons when the Scorpio moon comes a-knocking. It is a very
introverted time when you feel bothered by office mates wanting to be
social, the mother that calls too often, the needy mate or the
cloying friend - when you would NORMALLY have no problem with any of
these situations. It tends to be the most powerful of the water sign
moons.

Frustration runs high during this moon. You can combat it by taking
ONE step at a time in dealing with anything, and truly biting your
tongue before you say something harsh to anyone. Again, remember that
ALL are affected by the moon so not only you are feeling these
things - so by biting your tongue, you could very well avoid an
unnecessary fight.

Emotions dominate everything during this time. So breathe deep, take
walks, read your book and if need be, turn inward until you feel you
can handle those about you without losing your temper. Nothing feels
worse than losing it, when you know there is no real reason for it.
*I* for one just end up feeling like an out-of-control loser when I
do that.

MAGIC DURING THIS MOON: Use soothing colors and scents in your daily
activities. All shades of blues work well. Also, the use of a more
yellowy-green works well, as this color is soothing to raging tempers
on various levels. I like to use blueberry and vanilla scents during
this time for it eases the hidden child in me. Scents of loved foods
always do. Use spells for relaxation and work on your Book of
Shadows. Make dream pillows during this moon. The mixing of herbs
can be very relaxing as can be the sewing of the pillows themselves
and embellishing them.

Scorpio Moon
I let go of all resentments in my life.
I have the ability to transform my life.
I am open to the expansion of mind and spirit.
I delight in the sensuality of life.
