The Moon enters Scorpio at 5:01 PM EST.

The Daily Astro for February 12, 2012  

The day starts on a positive/expansive note with Moon trining the Sun and Mercury, both in Aquarius. We may find it easier to communicate or make ourselves understood by others.  After the Moon conjuncts Saturn at 4:09 PM EST our mood may feel heavier, aided and abetted by the Moon entering Scorpio about an hour later.  It’s a good time to reflect upon our actions, to go deep into exploring our motivations and learn from both experience and our inner teacher. It may feel like we’re receiving a karmic lesson or two!  Then the Moon aspects Neptune and Uranus and the Sun aspects Pluto, so we may suffer from the illusion/delusion that our way is the only one–remember other people have reasons for the way they think and feel, too, and tread lightly.

Sabian Symbol for today’s Sun:  “A man turning his back on his passions and teaching from his experience.”
Kozminsky Symbol for today’s Sun:   “A woman neatly attired, with her hand on a tomb, looking sorrowfully on a flower-covered grave.”

Both of these symbols involve passion and a change of direction. The Sabian Symbol shows someone turning his back on things he was formerly passionate about and moving towards a new path based on his experience. The Kozminsky Symbol features a woman experiencing strong feelings as the result of a loss; by directly facing her sorrow (her hand on the tomb), she pays tribute to the past and takes her experience with her into the future.

“The Sabian Symbol keyword is “Serenity ” and the Kozminsky Symbol keyword is “ Tribute ”.
