Lunar Month of Scorpio 2023: A Need To Simplify

This is a monthly horoscope, which is correlated to the lunar cycle. It starts on November 13, 2023 and ends on December 12, 2023.

Unexpected changes occur as a result of our past actions to re-align our lives, making us confused and upset. We try to do some thinking about our situation to understand what has happened and what we need to do next, which backfires. What we eventually realize is that we are thinking too big about our situation, and need to start thinking smaller and in simpler ways.

Explore this lunar month’s four major moon phases below.

New Moon in Scorpio

More big, unexpected changes

November 13-20, 2023

Big, unexpected changes continue to occur to get our lives on a different trajectory that is more in alignment with our purpose. Either we initiate these changes on our own, or they may happen to us from outside circumstance. These changes may make us feel nervous, upset, and anxious. They may also change our lives in a drastic way. However, we are doing our best to handle them, which is working out fine.

First Quarter in Aquarius

Struggling to detach, recover, and heal

November 20-27, 2023

We now try to detach from the many big and intense changes that have recently occurred so that we can adjust, catch our breath, figure out what to do next, and get a different perspective on them. However, that is difficulty to do because we are a bit hurt or frustrated by what has happened and don’t know how to make sense of our situation.

Full Moon in Gemini

Difficulty understanding our situation

November 27-December 5, 2023

We now try to gather more information about our situation, think about it in different ways, and be more flexible in order to better understand what has changed in our lives and what to do next. However, we still aren’t getting the answers we need. That is because we are thinking too big, and need to start thinking smaller and in simpler ways.

Third Quarter in Virgo

Realizing we need to start small and in simply ways

December 5-12, 2023

We continue to think more things through about our situation and next steps. However, that confuses us even more than we were in the past weeks. It also makes us a bit sad and emotional. These uncomfortable emotions force us to finally start simplifying our situation, thinking smaller, and using what we currently have at our disposal.

Some things in life can never be truly known or understood. As a result, we just have to accept our current circumstance and keep things simple.
