The New Moon in Scorpio
Wednesday, November 7th 8:02 am 15º11’
Here we are, still connecting with Venus retrograding in Scorpio, the Sun illuminating our shadows and secrets, and now the potent Scorpio New Moon!
We can choose from several directions for our Soul Work (and preparation) as well as for the Practical Applications for this deeply mystical, spiritual, transformative and sexual energy of this moon.
Pictured left is Oshun. Just like Venus, Oshun is the Goddess of: love, sensuality, sex, romance and intimacy, healing, fertility, and beauty. She helps us cultivate confidence and feel our value.

With all the energy in Scorpio right now, our focus lands on Deep Transformation. No matter what area of our lives is being activated and healed with the Venus Retrograde and this new moon, we are all experiencing internal shifting that is ultimately for the best. I don’t say that lightly as I know that what arrives with Scorpio can sometimes seem scary and dark. I know that looking at and being with the deepest vulnerabilities is not an easy task, but it is one that is necessary for our greatest fulfillment and well-being.
Scorpio energy reminds us that we are on a Soul Journey — we are meant to experience the Mystery and dive into the Unknown. This is not a reckless adventure, it is one that is protected with magic and a knowing that life and death are one. It is a journey of truth and integrity, one that requires our full awareness and presence.
Many astrologers consider Scorpio the sign of the Black Hole – a region of space having a gravitational field so intense that no matter or radiation can escape. Sounds dramatic! And our journey through this area of the wheel is a powerful testament to those things that really need to surface for the greatest healing. They swirl around until we can use our super powers to transform them into something new.

The path of this new moon is one of depth, quiet, vitality, and a stillness that can only be found in the moments between movements. Your commitment to meditations, nature, silence, creative pursuits, and energy cultivation will serve you very well.
We are reborn in Scorpio. But first we must let go of what no longer serves us including our own experiences and feelings towards others.
Part of the letting go process with this moon includes forgiveness: forgiveness of others, asking forgiveness of others, and forgiveness of self (this life and all others).
Scorpio has a reputation for ‘holding a grudge’ but I don’t think that is completely accurate. My experiences have shown me that Scorpio will remember with great accuracy any event, words, or actions that have caused pain, wounding or death of some kind. Scorpio will catalog their feelings, and will, accordingly, respond in his/her own time and with intent. The mystery lies there – what will be their response?!
Underneath all of that, however, is a desire for deep healing. The Scorpio will give you an opportunity to change, grow, and make amends. He/she will offer you openings. Sometimes those are telepathic – they don’t always feel a need to articulate with words.
Going even further, the Scorpio energy demands truth and integrity in themselves – they need the life force energy to move without obstacle so they can be some of the most present, most loving, most powerful beings.
So, on the one hand, we are reminded of our deepest darkest secrets that must be healed.
On the other, we are shown ways to depth and intimacy that we did not even know existed!
What to consider in preparation for the Scorpio New Moon:
- If you want more passion in yourself, your life, your work or your relationship then it’s time to let go of whatever is blocking the flow of your life force energy.
- If you want to understand your legacy – what you are leaving the world – this is the moon to listen with an open heart and mind.
- If you want to feel ‘sexier’ (you are, of course, already ‘sexy’), then it’s time to set intentions around fully expressing your inner radiance by grounding deeply into who you are and letting go of anything standing in your way.
- If you want to clear up money matters that include another person or an institution, this is a great time to set forth your intentions and listen for the action steps.
- If you want to understand your Soul’s Path and Purpose, this is the perfect time to ask.
- If you want to deepen your connection to your intuition – this is the perfect moon to ask for the activation into the Mystery.
At the 15º of Scorpio we connect with the Inner Goddess who is the embodiment of magical power.
SCORPIO 15
A woman with a gold tooth.
An extraordinary gift, very abusable and utterly redemptive. You invent, conceive, bring into being whatever you hope for and whatever you dread. Usually the dreads come up more first and dominate for a while. In this cycle you scare up the world’s most extreme melodramas, each one of them marked “no way out, no way through.” If you should outlast your dread demons, and you shall, you will find, in a very different direction, that there are equally powerful hope angels. You hope and wish and yearn for everybody to go free and this wishing has deep, uncanny power. For you have been nourishing for a very long time two counteracting worlds: the one dark and heavy with foreboding; the other swept clean by the magical will to bring the world around right. The one who made the light go out brings the light back in a seasoned, tempered form. And this renewed light is phosphorescent, glowing in the world’s darkness, seeing the way clear, knowing it can be done.[1]
