Friday the 5th of November brings us a New Moon in the water sign of Scorpio and marks the opening of the Eclipse Gateway. The first of two Eclipses occurs in 2 weeks on November 19th during the Taurian Full Moon Lunar Eclipse.
The gateway of the Eclipses opening begins with the Scorpio New Moon and starts the powerful portal of transformation that occurs during Eclipses.
The energy of the Scorpio New Moon centers around being true to ourselves, transformation, shifting into a new space of being and looking really deep within.
Scorpio is ruled by water and typically, the Moon is very at home in the water signs, however, Scorpio energy can create moodiness and is quite an intense sign, we may find our energy levels and emotions difficult to balance.
New Moons are about retreating within, and Scorpio energy is also very reflective. We may find ourselves delving into the darker corners of our hearts and minds. We may find ourselves dealing with some of the denser emotions that we have been holding on to. It can be intense but is always the step to transformation and Scorpio is all about transformation.
Scorpio is one of the few signs that is represented by three archetypes- the Scorpion, the Eagle, and the Phoenix.
Each of these animals represents a different stage in the evolution of consciousness that we move through when working with the energy of Scorpio.
One wonders what sort of shift is needed for a small Scorpion that has only known life on the ground, to transform into the majestic eagle. What needs to happen to the Scorpion to get to this stage?
There is no doubt that to undergo such a drastic transformation, drastic life situations are usually at the core. The Scorpion has to completely lose its way of life in order to allow the metamorphosis to occur.
Under the Scorpio New Moon let’s all take a moment to think about those Scorpion to Eagle transformations that we have journeyed through in our own lives.
Chances are we have all experienced at least one completely life-changing event that has seen us leave the comforts of our small little world and shift to the vantage point of an Eagle.
It is these metamorphosis points in our lives that help us to grow into the person we were meant to be. It is these transformation moments that shape the course of our lives.
The Scorpio New Moon also asks us if we have been wearing masks for others? Have we been compressing ourselves in order to fit in? Going along with things that are not in resonance with who we are? Playing roles that don’t fit?
This New Moon asks that we look to the places where we have not been honoring our truth. The time has come to live our truth and that means giving up the masks once and for all.
There is a great deal of information and truth flowing with this Scorpio New Moon which is amplified by the beginning of another Eclipse cycle. Transformation is at hand in the midst of all this truth. During this powerful period, we need to connect with what sets our soul on fire.
What passions are calling to us? Where is our inspiration leading us to? These are important things to consider under the dark night of the Scorpio New Moon.
This New Moon is geared to inspire change, so this is a good time to think about what needs to transform in our world and then go about setting our intentions. Work with the energies of this New Moon by knowing that it can help initiate a big shift and change if that is what is needed.
If you feel inclined, use the moody energies of the Scorpio New Moon to delve into those shadowy corners, who knows what beautiful insights will come into the light.
Overall, the energy of the Scorpio New Moon can be used as a catalyst to help us walk the bridge between any transformations we are currently moving through.
Regardless of what Scorpio represents in our personal horoscope chart, direct point-making or a verbal, emotional release is the theme here. Our feelings may have conflicted with another’s recently. And we may have also felt torn between tending to our own needs and supporting a particular individual.
Now, the New Moon in Scorpio offer a chance to speak our mind, lay our cards on the table, and make thoughts or feelings known.
Aspects…
Moon & Uranus… gives an urge to try new and exciting ways to live life to the fullest. We seek the freedom to do things our own way and will most likely resist being told what to do. A struggle for independence can be related to a struggle to explore and express our unique individuality and personality.
We may anticipate something new on the horizon or feel nervous. Sudden changes and unexpected encounters and events are possible that may leave us feeling unsettled and anxious. Learning to adapt to change will help us feel less disconnected. By keeping an open mind, exciting opportunities may arise from any changes that offer a better way forward.
It is better that we don’t resist the urge for the new and unusual, or rebel and changing conditions. Otherwise, this electric and spontaneous energy may escape in a destructive way such as a minor accident. Odd behavior or a radical about-face in someone close to us may cause anxiety too. Arguments or separation may result from impatience or unwillingness to adapt.
Mercury and Venus bring encouraging peace and harmony while reducing stress. A more settled frame of mind and good communication skills makes it easier to deal with any sudden change or unexpected events caused by the New Moon opposite Uranus.
Uranus can also make people distant and impulsive which can lead to sudden breakups. But Mercury sextile Venus love, friendship, cooperation, and diplomacy help you bring people together, find peaceful settlements to disputes, and break down any barriers to progress. A good business sense also helps us find opportunities for success.
All in all, the Scorpio New Moon is a mixed bag energetically with the main themes being deep reflection & transformation.
Diving into the dark deep ocean of our feelings and trauma we can find the brilliant jewels hiding in the crevice’s, bring them to the surface & use them to heal and transform.
Love and Blessings ♥♥♥
