As everyone knows, the moon goes through several changes throughout its existence. On the astrology chart, the moon in Scorpio refers to the placement of the Moon at the time of a person's birth in the zodiac chart of Scorpio. This placement has specific meanings and influences on a person's personality and emotions.
Scorpio is a water sign associated with intensity, passion, and transformation. The Moon represents emotions, feelings, and instincts. So, when the moon is in Scorpio, it creates a deep, powerful, and intense emotional character in a person.
People with a sun placement in Scorpio are often very private and secretive about their emotions, but their feelings run deep. They can be highly perceptive and intuitive, able to sense the emotions and motives of others. This makes them excellent at reading people, but it can also lead to suspicion and paranoia if they feel like they're being deceived. Sun Scorpio people are very loyal to those they love, but they can also be very possessive and jealous. They have a strong need for emotional connection and can become deeply attached to people they care about. However, they can also be prone to emotional extremes, swinging between intense passion and deep despair.
If you hold a placement in Scorpio, then yoga and connecting to the earth should be on your agenda.

To come into this posture:
Begin in dolphin pose pressing strong into the forearms.
Shift the weight forward and gaze forward as you pop the legs over head and progressively move into a backbend.
The feet either float over head or the toes can touch the top of the head.
***It is not recommended to do this pose if you have high blood pressure or heart disease, if you have shoulder pain, if you have vertigo, or if you are a beginner.
In the full expression of this pose, Purnavrischikasasana, the Scorpio bends their knees, takes the toes to the head, and enters into a deep backbend. This resembles the image of the real scorpion arthropod, especially when they are about to attack their prey. When in the wild and about to sting, the literal scorpion curls its tail and arches its body just like in this pose. Mystics of the past have compared this posture to a psychological metaphor. Feet towards the head represents the feet stamping out the negative characteristics in the head such as arrogance, anger, hatred, jealously, and malice. These traits are venomous, equally as poisonous as the venom in real scorpions. This posture is recommended for yogis who have a Scorpio placement. This yoga pose will you to develop humility, calmness, and tolerance. When the Scorpio is balanced in their emotional body, they are extremely wise, nurturing, and accomplished. Scorpio people, try to play around with this posture to remind yourself of your power. You have the strength to choose which side you present to the world, so try to choose the side of compassion and connection.
