Cuando el Luna enters Escorpio, our emotions enter an intense state of flux.
On January 11, the Moon moves out of Libra’s airier energy and into Scorpio’s water‑heavy, all‑or‑nothing emotional terrain.
On top of that, this transit happens during the final stretch of the lunar cycle, when the Moon is waning and focused on release, reflection, and closure rather than forward momentum.
That combination creates a day that feels intense, introspective, and transformative.
Here’s what this Moon phase tends to bring, why it feels different, and how to work with it instead of fighting it.
1. Emotions Are Harder to Ignore
With the Moon now in Scorpio, emotions become practically impossible to ignore.
While we might have processed emotions better under Libra, Scorpio demands much more. It pulls us inward, and these emotions are intense, private, and usually without filters.
It’s an abrupt change of emotional pace that feels like holding your breath and waiting for something—anything—to give you the signal to exhale, to finally let it all out.
These emotions are likely to be connected with things we’ve been carrying around for a very long time. These are not brand-new situations, but they have never been resolved.
Expect memories to resurface. Expect to feel strangely nostalgic.
All of this comes in waves, but their purpose is not to overwhelm you (even though they likely will), but to throw you into the flames and help you deal with what needs to be dealt with.
In other words, this Scorpio Moon wants you to really siente tus emociones.
Whatever comes up, let it. Feel. Even if these emotions are strong, it doesn’t mean they’re wrong. Let them pass, giving yourself the space to observe what’s surfacing.
2. A Strong Desire for Release
January 11 carries powerful energy that helps us let go and release.
This is especially amplified because the Moon is nearing the end of its cycle.
With that in mind, this is clearly not the time for starting fresh projects, no matter how promising, or forcing new beginnings. Instead, this period is about closure, peace, and harmony.
You’ll be particularly reflective under this Moon. The past still has lessons for you, lessons you’ve not yet mastered, so they’ll come around once more, allowing you to soak them up.
It’s not exactly pleasant since most of these lessons come from past hardships—but they son necessary. It’s heavy at first, yes, but the feeling that ultimately dominates is relief.
And the reason why it needs to happen this way is because you can’t let go of what you’re not even aware of. So, allow it to happen naturally, gradually, and be very patient with yourself.
3. Intuition and Sensitivity
All Scorpio Moons sharpen intuition, and January 11 is no exception.
With the Moon in a water sign and in a reflective phase, your awareness is heightened.
As a result, you’ll pick up on small things that usually go right over your head. You’ll be more attuned to the energies around you, including any shifts in mood, tone, or vibrancy.
This happens naturally without being forced, and that’s the beauty of emotional perception.
Although this is often a blessing, it comes with its shortcomings too. It’s easy to absorb other people’s stress or emotions during this transit, which might make you feel drained.
It’s important to stay mindful of how much emotional input you’re taking on.
Use this intuitive energy intentionally. Nourish it with soul-enriching activities such as writing or listening to music. Every bit helps, and right now your soul is muy sensitive.
Pay attention to your dreams as well. Scorpio Moons often send their most important messages while we’re asleep.
4. Internal Tension
This Scorpio Moon certainly doesn’t shy away from discomfort, and it brings a lot of internal pressure.
You’re going to feel torn, pulled between multiple directions, particularly between wanting emotional security and craving emotional truth.
The waning Moon electrifies this and demands action. Staying idle risks progress.
Something is changing within us under this glow, and if we’re not being inquisitive and open-minded, we might end up feeling restless, moody, and prone to escapism.
This isn’t a problem, though, not exactly. It’s a sign that growth rarely happens without friction.
The best way to work with this energy is to give yourself permission to slow down. You don’t need to solve everything on January 11.
You just need to be willing to sit with what feels unresolved. That willingness alone creates movement, even if nothing changes immediately.
5. A Window for Emotional Healing
One of the most powerful aspects of the Moon entering Scorpio during the final lunar phase is its healing potential.
This is a moment for emotional closure, not through force but through acceptance.
Scorpio teaches that healing really means transforming your relationship with it.
Because of this, you’re going to feel unusually drawn to rituals and practices that help you process things emotionally. And this can be as simple as finally being honest with yourself.
As the Moon continues toward the New Moon, what you release now creates space for something new to take root later.
So, do your best to acknowledge what’s ending as this chapter unfolds, and to let go, and to make room for greater clarity and emotional strength.
