Scorpio New Moon

Monday, November 13 • 1:27 am Pacific • 20º44

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.

Within the Scorpio realms, there is space, time, and a strong invitation to “walk with the shadow”.

What does it mean to spend time in the darkness?

Pluto, the modern ruler of Scorpio, gives us a few clues. Pluto rules the ‘underworld’ which is a place where what is released is transformed, where what is transformed becomes fertile, and what is fertile offers re-birth.

When we enter this time with heartfulness and mindfulness, we can support our shifts and changes with more grace.

This New Moon is a powerful reminder of how we can release and let go with the profound energy of the Scorpio. We are being invited to transform ourselves at the core of our being, transmuting old energies and welcoming new opportunities for growth.

This new moon is opposite Uranus in Taurus. Yes. And we’ve been moving in these realms for a while now…deepening, connecting, opening.

From a practical point of view, it is important to ‘lessen our grip on the reins’ – something I learned this past weekend! We don’t let go altogether (or maybe we do), but we don’t want to hold on too tightly as that would be counterproductive to what is really needed now.

Uranus brings the unpredictable element to this New Moon. Remembering that the Universe is on our side, trusting that what needs to shift is in our favor is important! Be willing to open to what is now, what could be next.

Mars is conjunct this new moon. Let me say that again, the original ruler of Scorpio is attending the mystical séance of the year! This brings added energy and passion.

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/they will offer you openings. Sometimes these 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 to communicate with those who have passed through the veil, this new moon will support you.
• 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.
