What do you need to let go of to go on?
The Waning or Last Quarter Moon is a check-in point, a moment of clarity on what needs to go for you to move forward with intention. With the Moon in Scorpio, this isn’t just about letting go; it’s about emotional alchemy1. It transforms fear, emotional baggage, and outdated patterns into power, focus, and wealth.
The fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin is the perfect metaphor for this process. In the story, a miller’s daughter is given the impossible task of spinning straw into gold. A mysterious being (Rumpelstiltskin) offers help but at a cost.
The deeper lesson? You can do the work yourself or let the world dictate your emotions and reality. The price of not owning your inner world is always higher than the cost of individuation2.
What are your emotional limiting beliefs?
What fears are you avoiding?
Get familiar with them. If you don't, they will control you, keeping you stuck in loops of scarcity and reaction. There are unseen forces when you refuse to take an emotional inventory. Awareness is the key, once you see your shadows, you can shift them. This is how you transform the old version of yourself (rooted in fear) into the new version of yourself (centered on wealth and empowerment).
The Sun in Aquarius vs. The Moon in Scorpio
Right now, the Sun in Aquarius pushes for clarity and detachment, while the Moon in Scorpio is still tangled in emotional attachments and subconscious baggage. This transit is about aligning knowledge with emotional intelligence. The challenge? Integration. If you struggle, submit to your higher self. Let it lead.
Your logic and emotions should be in sync, but overanalyzing won't help. Sometimes, you don’t need proof, you need to trust what you know. As you merge with your higher self, your identity shifts. This can shock the people around you, especially those who benefit from the “old you.” Their resistance can create doubt, which is why so many people stay stuck. Do not let external pressure stop the internal transformation.
The Work: Release, Detox, Integrate
Scorpio demands integration. The waning Moon amplifies this need for release. Use this time to:
Cut cords with people, patterns, and emotions that drain you.
Detox—physically, mentally, emotionally.
Integrate—reflect on what needs to stay and what must go.
This isn’t just about removing what no longer serves you—it’s about turning straw into gold. The choice is yours.

Emotional alchemy is a process whereby we can convert an emotion into something of greater value for us.
Individuation is the process by which an individual becomes distinct. Individuation distinguishes you from everybody else. The word individual is a good clue to the meaning of individuation, which is how a being becomes an independent, separate entity.
