This week we have a New Moon in Scorpio on November 13 at 4:27 am EST (find your time here).
In astrology, the New Moon is a time of new beginnings and wiping the slate clean. It's when you set your intention for the lunar cycle ahead and call into your life what you want - that could be a physical, tangible thing or something like more love, a joyful daily routine, or a deeper connection to your intuition.
The New Moon is in the sign of Scorpio - the often misunderstood sign that deals with the cycles of life and death, and often rebirth. Scorpio isn't afraid to peer into the shadowy depths that others shy away from.
Because of this, a New Moon in Scorpio is pretty much always intense and deep. It's a time of pulling back the curtain to see what's really there and driving the behind-the-scenes action. This understanding of not only our inner desires and motivations, as well as those of those around us, gives us more information to work with as we move forward. We see more of the whole picture now.
This Scorpio New Moon is perfect for reflective work, including therapy and shadow work. This energy is also great for investigating, getting to the bottom of things, and working with metaphysical tools like tarot. Scorpio isn’t afraid of looking at what motivates us and why we feel the way we do.
But this New Moon occurs alongside Mars opposite Uranus, making emotions simmer dangerously close to the surface. One wrong move and we, or someone around us, can erupt, often spurred by the desire to feel less. This New Moon will churn up our emotional waters and it's up to us to take time outs as needed.
