Sunday, November 15th we have a New Moon falling in the water sign of Scorpio. Take a deep breath as into the deep watery depths we dive for third and final Super New Moon of the year. Scorpio New Moons I find & feel quite intensely as my ascendant is Scorpio. However, this one definitely has the very deep emotional tones but there is a ribbon of light that offers powerful healing as we build to end a year of epic change.
The Scorpio New Moon will bring things up to the surface, especially on an emotional level. It has been building this last week and many of us have felt overwhelmed, emotional, teary and scattered. The Scorpio Moon guides to allow the deepest of fears, loves, hopes, and dreams, to rise up from the pit of our belly, up and out into a new space of awareness.
Under the dark night of the Scorpio New Moon, we are being guided to sit with ourselves and ‘All’ of our emotions. It may not feel comfortable, but it is very necessary. Ugh!
Sometimes we have to do what is uncomfortable, sometimes we have to face whatever is lurking within the shadows of our own fears and doubts. For when we do, we gain so Much!! Understanding ourselves on a deeper & more profound level.
In those moments of wading through what is uncomfortable; when we realize and see fully and wholly our greatest pains, we gain a strength and a wisdom.
This strength, this wisdom is something that only comes when we have found the courage and determination to face up to our greatest wounds and struggles.
The healing is never complete from the darkness, it is something we carry with us on this journey home. But, when we look at it, when we face it, when we hold it and acknowledge it, that is when we can start to rise above it.
Scorpio is represented by the Scorpion but also the Phoenix. Both the Scorpion and the Phoenix have the same ability to transform. The Scorpion sheds its skin and the Phoenix learns how to rise from the ashes.
Both creatures hold within them the power to completely rebirth themselves, no matter what the past has brought their way.
The past has brought so much our way. We are all facing our own struggles, fear, uncertainty, and instability. 2020 has changed so many things.
But under the message of this Moon, we are reminded that it is always within our strength and power to rise again when the time is right.
We are reminded that even when things burn to ashes and crumble around us, even when things in our lives are shedding and we can’t recognize ourselves in the mirror, that this is all part of the great cycle of death and rebirth.
We die and we are reborn so many times on this life journey, so let’s all sit with this and allow this New Moon to show us the way through our own metamorphosis and transformation.
While this New Moon carries some deep and intense emotional energy, it is also is beautifully aspected with the planet Jupiter. The planet of expansion. Jupiter is known for allowing us to see the silver lining in things. It shines rays of hope and positivity our way.
Jupiter and Pluto hold a positive conjunction over the Scorpio New Moon that reminds us to hold that ribbon of light within our hearts and to remember that there is always a higher plan unfolding.
Jupiter is expansive and offers us the ability to see things from a wider perspective. Its energy allows us to break free of our limitations and fixed mindset, and to rise above it all where we can see how every action and every event is always leading us to where we need to be.
If we can detach from where we are sitting, especially on an emotional level and zoom out, zoom right out without judgment we can see that everything has its place, it’s place and lessons learnt on our journey.
Even if we can’t see the full journey of this chapter just yet, or understand the full extent of what is happening around us, there is energy on offer under this New Moon that beckons us to remember that things are always changing and transforming, and while we may not have control over it all, we do have control over how we choose to show up, react, and respond.
Repeat….. We choose to show up, react, and respond.
So, as we sit with any heavy or fragile emotions that are stirred. As we sit with all we are feeling and try to bring acceptance, we need to remember that good phrase…. this too shall pass!
We should only focus on that which we can control and try to keep our vision set to that zoomed out perspective. Try to see beyond the fixed limitations of today and try to imagine where it can lead us tomorrow and for the future. It all sounds and feels pretty full on and intense but this Scorpio New Moon is going to provide one of the most transformational turning points of 2020 and an ability to alchemize all that we have learned and been through this year into a powerful driving force to propel us forwards.
Let’s all breathe deeply and reach for the ribbon of light
Love and Blessings ♥ ♥ ♥
