New Moon in Scorpio

.

This Scorpio New Moon culminates on Saturday November 30th at 10:21 pm pacific time, making the entirety of Saturday the window of the New Moon.  New Moons are considered inauspicious as the moon is invisible in the sky.  The darkness of the Moon, as the planet of nurture and sustenance, can leave us feeling insecure and unsupported.  If we are to follow these feelings and act upon them, a mess of difficult situations can arise.  This moon is particularly unsupported as Scorpio is the debilitation sign of the moon, one of its weakest placements that reveals these shadow sides even more.

Scorpio is the dark, hidden sign of the zodiac, where all our fears, insecurities, traumas and addictions can arise.  The complexity of the Scorpio energy gives rise to complex emotions that confuse us and may make us act in confusing ways.  With retrograde Mercury also in Scorpio this tendency for miscommunications stemming from difficult emotions intensifies.  

However, Scorpio is a transformational sign with a lot of emotional richness.  If we can use the vulnerability of this moon to catalyze change, it may provide the metamorphosis needed for long term growth. The lunar house (nakshatra) of this new moon is Anuradha, which is connected with alliance, friendships and commitments.  There is a deep devotion and solid friendship at the core of this part of Scorpio

On a general level, Saturday is not a day for any major decisions or important talks.  On the other hand, if there is something that intensely needs to shift in your world, you may consider carefully and mindfully using the vulnerability of this New Moon to open to possibility of the change that you seek. When we follow the devotion and love of this Anuradha energy and are serving the higher principle- whether it’s within a personal relationship or in ourselves- we can trust this New Moon to uncover deeper and difficult truths for the highest good.

As always, reach out if I can help you in any way,

Love and Blessings,
