Moon in Scorpio - The Moon's transit through Scorpio is a time of death and rebirth (not necessarily physical death), intensity, extremes, and heightened sensitivity. It is good for focusing, being sexual, and doing psychic work because of the deep emotions and desires Scorpio brings. 
  Emotional resentments from the past can surface and block your heightened creative energy, so fight urges to be suspicious secretive and moody. This is a great time regeneration and cleaning out of the emotional debris from the previous lunar cycle. There is great energy to complete things and focus on certain areas that you have found yourself too scattered to deal with in the previous cycle. With the Moon in Scorpio, dig deep. Scorpio weaves the visible and invisible worlds together. We see through and into the roots. Direct this energy away from obsession and towards creation. Sexuality can be potent and musky. Those born with a Scorpio moon sign came here to find herself in solitude first and then transformative action with others. They offer us a fearless guide to the inner worlds as they midwife all transitions. Moon in Scorpio is the best time to work magick involving sexual matters, power, psychic growth, secrets and fundamental transformations. Healing rituals for ailments of the reproductive organs are also done during this period of time.

Today is Freya's Day -Venus Day - the Day of Sharing and Relationships.  There are minor magickal energies for resolving quarrels with friends/lovers. 

So here is the last day of this Lunar Tree Cycle - do you know that if we were not operating in an EDST time schedule than the New Moon would have happened tonight??  Makes you wonder if the manipulations of mankind can actually affect the Craft workings.  This weekend (Sunday morning) we will be returning to EST.

Here is a nice idea for a Dark Moon ritual:
