New / Full Moons: Full 15th Nov in Taurus New 1st Dec in Sagittarius Full 15th Dec in Gemini New 30th Dec in Capricorn
Under any Scorpio New Moon transformation feels inevitable. . Under this one, the strength and resilience that we find ourselves with is particularly powerful. A Trine to Saturn, in Pisces, is applying compassionate discipline and strategy to what we are passionate about bringing into reality now. From the metaphorical ashes of what was, something magical is ready to be released into being. From destruction and endings come new beginnings. The cycle begins again, on terms we control.
The veil between worlds is thinnest at New Moon. The Sun, which rules our Spirit, and the Moon, who oversees the realm and mode of our souls, combine their energy together in a conjunction. When the New Moon falls in Scorpio though, we become sensitive enough to really feel it. In the Northern Hemisphere, nature all around us at this time of year is in a state of decomposition.
The shedding of deciduous leaves, the autumnal mists that reshape the landscape before our eyes prime us to pay attention to the inevitability of change. We can't control the seasons but we can learn to be wise enough to venture out with the protection for adverse conditions. When the air is chilled we become more conscious of our own inner warmth. Focusing on gratitude for the energy we have, and keeping it wrapped up and safe settles us in for the winter ahead.
The energy of a Scorpio New Moon is utterly unstoppable. There is nothing that can break this power. There is a sense of having already faced so much that nothing now can phase us. We are ready to weather any storm and to emerge through it stronger, wiser.
Scorpio energy is passionate. This New Moon is not afraid to unearth deeply buried desire and to force us to look at what is bubbling under the surface. What are you craving? What feels urgent? What needs have you been suppressing? This is not a romantic wish list of what we 'might like'. The sparks we set off now are burning with a hot magnetic potency and attracting what we want back to us.
The Moon's Trine with Saturn is like a tidal wave of support to be changed into raw manifesting power. There is a surge of energy that takes us beyond surviving and demands that we focus our efforts into what will help us to thrive.
Under this New Moon we cast off anything that does not meet us on the same page. We would rather have nothing at all than something which doesn't match our rawest carnal wish to be truly understood and connected. Scorpio energy picks up on what is under the surface. This Moon encourages us to retreat back into ourselves because within us all, we have a depth of physical and emotional energy to draw from which is far greater than we often recognise.
At the New Moon in this sign we find strength and resilience to heal ourselves. To continue on.
The firework pattern created by oppositions in this chart meets the theme of the season. Now that the veil has thinned and the truth has been revealed to us we feel compelled to do something about it all. But what?! Do we follow the spark in our hearts set off by Venus in Sagittarius or allow retrograde Jupiter in Gemini to choose our path for us? Are we pulled by Pluto in Capricorn to ruthless decisions or compelled to care by Mars in Cancer? Should we follow Mercury in Scorpio's brutally honest approach or follow a new tradition set by Uranus in Taurus? Tensions fill the mood of this New Moon with excitement. There is a sense of anticipation for what is to come, as well as a feeling of being 'all over the place'.
Grounding becomes of paramount importance in order to tackle things one step at a time. Taking moments to retreat away from the intensity and the time to process what is shifting fulfills our deep inner need for security through privacy which will be heightened under this Moon.
The New Moon in Scorpio is working out a way of bringing these oppositions and conflicts into its cauldron of change. There, they can fight it out as we stand back, like an alchemist waiting patiently for something wonderful to emerge into being.
How can we consolidate these opposing forces and use the energy of this tension to do what is right, to do something good? Whenever there are tough times and hard choices there will always be kindness, goodness and love too. That is the truest nature of life on this planet. Extremes exist but we have to believe that human goodness will always prevail.
Cosmically this outlook is supported by several positive and encouraging connections. Neptune commands a grand Trine across the Water signs, lending Mars in Cancer his Trident for a worthy cause and empowering Mercury to speak with honesty and to be believed.
Pluto sits close to the ascendant in Capricorn and they and Uranus in Taurus connect their forces to create an electrifying charge of energy that breaks tough ground with simple truth and commitment to keep on doing what is right. Sometimes we are afraid of being successful because we don't dare to have what we want. This New Moon is emboldening us all to step towards our truth by recognising our strength and connecting with our inner power.
A positive connection between Venus in Sagittarius and Chiron in Aries breathes a healing warmth and an optimistic approach into what we set out to do now in our adventure of self healing. A Scorpio New Moon lets us feel what is not aligning with our purpose and to cast it off. This is a point where you get to choose how you live. The determination you need to work through what is buried is like a gift and by recognising your power you can use this energy to live the life you truly want and deserve.
