New Moon in Scorpio: Where Are We Going Next?


On Saturday (November 18th 2017 at 3:42 AM PST) we will be having a New Moon in Scorpio. This New Moon is not for the faint of heart. We are in the midst of transforming and moving forward, yet we may feel frustrated or not sure in which direction we should move. 

New Moon's always have that weird mixture of introspection and a burst of energy for a new beginning. Leading up to the New Moon, as the Moon wanes we may feel withdrawn and introspective. Then once that New Moon starts to wax and grow, we start a new monthly cycle. New beginnings start at that time and this time the push for a new beginning is a bit intense. 

We are having our New Moon in Scorpio this month and Scorpio's new beginnings always involve transformation. We've been in Scorpio energy for this past month with the Sun and various planets there and the big transit of the year: Jupiter in Scorpio. This means the idea of transforming something in our lives is not new to us at this moment. We are just still in the transforming process and this is another gateway opening in this process, just not necessarily an easy one. 

At the time of the New Moon Mars and Pluto are starting to form a square that will be exact the day after. Now Pluto is the contemporary ruler of Scorpio and Mars is the traditional ruler. See how this aspect is affecting the New Moon now? The two planets that rule Scorpio are making an intense aspect that is so integral to understanding the energy around the New Moon. 

This aspect between Mars and Pluto makes us want to transform something in our lives, but sometimes it can even force us. Mars in Libra is an energy that makes it hard to make decisions and move forward. Perhaps we have been wanting to move forward, but we are frustrated at what direction to take . Another manifestation of this energy is that we haven't been able to decide, but at this point in time we are getting a little push. This is a frustrating aspect not going to lie, and it can make some tempers come out. Mars after all does rule anger and Pluto rules rage. 

Mars in Libra is in detriment at this time as well. Along with Venus in Scorpio, Mercury in Sagittarius, and even the Moon in Scorpio.  Detriment means a planet is in a sign that is the opposite of that which it rules. This means that all these planets ( and they're very personal planets) don't feel at home. So there's an uncomfortable energy we don't feel at home in. 

An aspect that may help us through some of this uncomfortable time of change is that Chiron is in a fading trine with the New Moon. This is a healing aspect. We're being urged to connect with the divine/the universe to help us get through these changes. Maybe we need to trust in the universe to guide us into the right direction even when it seems frustrating and confusing. 

~Overall, new beginnings are coming. We are being pushed to transform and we want to transform, it's just coming at a time when we all feel a little uncomfortable about it. The important thing is to remember to be strong and to remember what your heart truly desires. Scorpio is all about what we want at a soul level, nothing less will do. Remember how it feels to be in alignment with your souls desires, the happiness you feel in being immersed in the energy and things you love. That space and remembrance along with trust in the universe will help you get through this uncomfortable period of transformation.~
