Happy New Moon in Scorpio! This New Moon became exact at 4:27 AM New York Time
(09:27 GMT) on Monday, November 13, 2023. This New Moon marks the end of Eclipse
Season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the past six weeks, codes have been being downloaded into the Earth Grid\u2014and into
our individual energy fields\u2014that will serve to direct us forward onto the Highest Path, as
intended by our individual souls, over the next five months and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sign of Scorpio holds a special place in my Heart. As someone with a Scorpio sun and a
predominantly Scorpio chart, it is my favorite sign. I love the depth, the passion, and the life-
or-death feeling of intensity that Scorpio represents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scorpio is the shaman’s sign; it is the negotiation between the darkest darks and the brightest
lights. It is an oscillation between hell and Heaven. This of course has tremendous spiritual
value, as every time you plunge into the depths of pain and suffering, you bring back with you
invaluable wisdom for the journey ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn’t come into this position as a healer and a spiritual teacher just by reading some books;
it’s been this hell-to-Heaven and back again shaman’s journey for me, which still continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scorpio is the sign of death and transformation (picture the Death card in the tarot). If you live
in a cold part of the world, you can look outside now and see the dead leaves on the ground
as winter approaches. Of course, the trees are only lightening their load in order to prepare
for the upcoming deep freeze, while giving space for brand new growth to emerge the
following spring. Thus is Scorpio: it’s all about letting go of what is dying or dead, in order to
allow for new growth to occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scorpio is the fixed water sign, the eighth sign of the Zodiac, and the ruler of the Eighth
House\u2014the House of Sex. This house rules over sex, taboos, death, taxes, and
wills\/legacies. It is ruled by Pluto, the planet of death, destruction and transformation. As a
fixed sign, it is stubborn and loyal. As a water sign, it is deeply emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scorpio suns (like myself) are known for having an air of mystery and intrigue about them
(this can also apply to Scorpio Risings). Scorpio suns, moons, and Risings are generally
naturally psychic and intuitive. If you are close with any Scorpio suns in your life, you probably
already know that they don\u2019t let many people get very close to them. Scorpios can often be
secretive, and sometimes even paranoid about letting others know too much about them.
Scorpio is of course associated with the scorpion. Its glyph is an \u2018M\u2019 with the tail pointed
outward, like a scorpion\u2019s stinger. The \u2018M\u2019s tail is also a phallic symbol. Scorpio rules over the
genitals and sex in general–but especially the aspects of sex that have to do with power
exchanges, taboos, and deeply-rooted psychological aspects (aka Freudian psychology).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scorpio suns, Risings, Venuses, and Mars\u2019s tend to be very sexual people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the most deeply emotional of all the Zodiac signs, Scorpio invites us to really honor the
depth of all our emotions–especially the uncomfortable ones, like rage, fear, and grief. It asks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for us to acknowledge the presence of shame and guilt within. It encourages us to honor the
depth of the ‘man’ part of the HU-man\u2014as in the physical, emotional, dense self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many have been having this feeling during this most recent Scorpio season that there’s
something deeper that has yet to be fully explored– like there’s a totally new level of rawness
beneath the surface that has yet to come up. Scorpio, being the sign of death, rebirth, and
transformation, is bringing this up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only have we been in Scorpio season, but the most recent Lunar Eclipse in Taurus
brought a lot of Scorpio energy with it. Due to this newest lunation, you could find yourself
going through intense emotions, like fear, anger, jealousy, grief or loneliness in the days and
weeks around and following the New Moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The depth and intensity of the Scorpio energy scares many away, because it can be very
uncomfortable. However, for those brave enough to explore the depths of one’s own
consciousness and emotional body, the reward is karmic transmutation, which is one of the
very reasons you came to this planet and one of the most important facets of the Ascension
journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a particularly intense New Moon, as we have the sun moon and Mars all in Scorpio
opposing the Retrograde Uranus in Taurus. Let\u2019s explore this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUN, MOON & MARS OPPOSE URANUS: FREE TO BE YOU\/REVOLUTION\/SEX<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is one of the most intense aspects of the year. This water New Moon is activated with fire
by Mars\u2019s presence. These planets oppose Uranus, the planet of freedom, revolution,
innovation, surprises, and accidents. This is a ferocious aspect that can manifest in many
ways. In its higher possibility, this gives us the opportunity to move forward, with intense
passion, on the things that mean the most for us. But, it will also make you get super honest
with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this time, you won\u2019t be able to help but to be totally honest with yourself about what
really matters. If the job\/career you\u2019re in is draining you, it\u2019s really going to weigh on you at
this time. If the romantic relationship you\u2019re in just isn\u2019t working anymore, you\u2019re going to feel
that intensely now. If the living situation you\u2019re in is not tenable, you will feel an intense call to
move away from it at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honesty with the self is key at this time. You should be feeling free to be you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some journaling prompts to help you get really honest with yourself during this
important time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– What is working for me right now? Which parts of my life feel like they are flowing in
harmony right now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– What isn\u2019t working for me right now? Which parts of my life feel like I am constantly
frustrated, or hitting a wall?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Which real desires of mine am I regularly experiencing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Which real desires of mine am I denying or avoiding?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– For the desires of mine that I am denying or avoiding, is there fear there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– What fears of mine still linger?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– If there was one fear that I could bust through now that I know would allow me to really
take a leap forward, what would that be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Are the people that I spend the most time with encouraging my evolution, or dragging it
down? Are there changes that I need to make in my relationships? Are there difficult
conversations I might need to have with others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Is my living environment giving me life, or weighing me down? Are there changes that I
need to make in my living situation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Which emotions or traumas within me do I habitually push down? What are some
practices or healing modalities that could assist me in alchemizing or processing
these?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mercury in Sagittarius is squaring Black Moon Lilith in Virgo, making people apt to speak up
and out about what matters to them (and this applies to groups, cultures and states, too). For
those of us seeking to keep the peace in our own lives (and to send that energy out to the
world), it\u2019s important to listen to others\u2019 perspectives at this time\u2014to consider both sides.
Mercury\u2019s sextile to Venus in Libra is supporting this appreciating and weighing of both
sides\/different angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is, astrologically, the most sexual time of the year. Scorpio is the main sign that rules
over sex. It is activated by Mars\u2014the other planet besides Pluto that rules over sex. People
are feeling carnal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sex is our nature. We are made from sex. All nature is made from sex. The desire to
procreate drives us to succeed and actualize. This Scorpio season is about embracing sex as
the sacred essence of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a time to look within and examine whatever blocks, traumas, or reservations you have
around sex. Psychotherapy, hypnosis, and some energy healing techniques can be helpful in
healing sexual blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Mercury in Sagittarius sextiling Venus in Libra, people are feeling adventurous. It\u2019s a
great time to meet someone new, or to go on dates. For couples, it is a great time to have fun
dates\u2014especially those where you and your partner get to experience something novel or
adventurous, or something you haven\u2019t done in awhile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mars in Scorpio trining Neptune in Pisces is also creating an energy supporting exploring
sexual fantasies; it can be a steamy, passionate and healing time for couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this very active sexual energy in the air, it\u2019s also a good reminder that your sexual
energy is yours to use as you desire (as long as you\u2019re not hurting others), but it is your life
force energy. Any time you release it, or exchange it with another, you are giving your energy
out. Is the person you\u2019re exchanging it with uplifting your energy or siphoning it? Or is it a
neutral exchange?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SATURN GOES DIRECT: SPIRITUAL AWAKENING; FREE FROM BLOCKS<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturn stationed Direct in Pisces on November 3; it is now accelerating every day, as it gets
closer to reattaining full speed. As it is moving slowly, it is exalted, meaning it carries a greater
influence than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturn has been in Pisces since March, and will remain there through August 2025. In many
signs and aspects Saturn comes off as dense, regimented and structured, but in Pisces\u2014the
ruler of the 12 th House\u2014Saturn influences the astral, the spiritual, and creative endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturn in Pisces has been creating spiritual awakening on a massive scale throughout Planet
Earth. Often it is outside events in the world that end up causing someone to question their
own belief systems\u2014and this questioning of one\u2019s belief systems is what often precipitates a
spiritual awakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have certainly had our fair share of traumatic and difficult events going on in the outside
world over the past few years. Many, many people have been having their first Awakening
experiences recently\u2014and many more will as Saturn re-traverses Pisces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that Saturn has gone Direct, it may seem like some of the karmic \u2018battles\u2019 that you\u2019ve
been having to fight\u2014especially those that manifest as blocks to your creativity or
intuition\u2014or as delusions or spiritual problems\u2014are finally relieved, and you have space,
energetically, to move forward as you please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the next few weeks, due to Saturn\u2019s exaltation in Pisces, it would be wise to pay
attention to your dreams\u2014as important insights may come through the dream realm at this
time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HAPPY DIWALI<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy Diwali! This New Moon is also Diwali, the Hindu New Year and Festival of Lights. It\u2019s a
five-day celebration across the Hindu world that includes lots of good food, family, fun,
fireworks, and making designs with colored sands. There are pujas (rituals\/offerings) each
day to honor the gods and goddesses. The Lakshmi Puja, on Day 3, is the biggest and
wildest celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wishing you a fun, enjoyable and transformative New Moon in Scorpio, and a Happy Diwali!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
