Scorpio

The Waning Gibbous moon encourages release and refinement. For Scorpio, this is the perfect time to shed what was revealed during the full moon. It’s a phase for gratitude and letting go of what no longer serves your transformation.

Take stock of recent events and consciously decide what baggage to leave behind as you move toward the dark moon.

Sun square Pluto

This is the day's defining aspect. It creates a powerful tension between your ego/outer life (Sun) and your soul's desire for transformation/power (Pluto). Expect hidden truths to surface and power dynamics to be exposed.

Mars conjunct Saturn

This aspect brings disciplined, strategic energy but can also feel restrictive. It's the universe telling you to build your empire brick by brick, with patience and immense fortitude, rather than through a swift attack.

Your modern ruler is retrograde, turning its transformative power inward. This intensifies your need for introspection and review. It's less about changing the world and more about changing yourself from the inside out.

Use this period for deep psychological work, therapy, or journaling to understand your own motivations and patterns.

Like many of Ryan Gosling's iconic characters, you may feel a world of emotion and strategy churning beneath a calm exterior today. Your power isn't in loud proclamations, but in that intense, knowing gaze that sees right through the facade. Embody that quiet confidence.

True strength doesn't need to be announced. It's felt in your presence, your resilience, and your unwavering commitment to your own truth.

Channel your inner Joaquin Phoenix by being unafraid to explore the darker, more complex aspects of a situation. Your ability to transform and commit fully to a role—or in your case, a task or belief—is your greatest asset today.

There is profound beauty and power in embracing the whole spectrum of human experience, not just the light.
