What Does the Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio Reflect?

Last-quarter Moon in Scorpio: something held with fierce grip is ready to be released. The invitation is to choose freedom over holding on.

While the last-quarter Moon moves through Scorpio, the emotional tone of these days turns toward a profound release. Something the heart has held with fierce grip, a resentment, a fear, an attachment, may finally be ready to be released and transformed. Letting go here is an act of power, choosing to be free rather than to hold on.

The gift of this moment is liberating release. The tension is clinging to the intensity, mistaking the grip for love or safety. Let yourself loosen what has kept you bound, and let one honest act of release transform a heaviness you have carried into the freedom of having finally set it down.
