Happy Scorpio New Moon! This is the time of the lunar calendar when we open a new chapter in intimacy, sharing, finance, legacies, inheritances, power, and change. Scorpio, the eighth sign of the zodiac, teaches us the stark reality that not everything lasts forever; something has to die so it may be reborn. With that in mind, the new moon will be exact on November 11, 2015 at 12:47 pm EST, 11 degrees Scorpio. For those further afield, that’s 9:47 am Los Angeles, 5:47 pm London, and 4:47 am Sydney on November 12.
Let’s just get this out of the way — Scorpio is an uncomfortable sign. It forces us to evolve, examine hard truths, and explore the deep recesses of our psyche. Look no further than Saturn’s 2012–2015 run through Scorpio for a reminder. But it’s through vulnerability, loss, and our willingness to bring the light of consciousness to darkness that real transformation happens. And that’s the power of Scorpio — profound emotional and spiritual alchemy.
So, if new moons are new chapters in story of our lives, we’re entering a four week period seeded with the energies of Scorpio. How do you want to be reborn? What needs to change? How are you opening yourself to others? What are your fears? What does intimacy mean to you? Sexuality? Death? What’s your relationship to money, power, wealth, debt, and even taxes? What’s in your shadow?
When we want to know more about how the coming four weeks will unfold, we look to the ruler of the new moon and in this case, Mars at 29 Virgo. Here’s the thing about Mars in Virgo — it has a high standard of excellence. Everything must be perfect, organized, and the best quality. There has to be a system or a schedule, too. And Mars at 29 Virgo, the last degree of the sign? We’re really feeling a push over the coming days to get our act together and tie up loose ends.
The 29th degree in astrology is a critical degree; it functions like Saturn. Figure out your day-to-day life and your finances or else. If Scorpio loves nothing more than to purge, Mars in Virgo will be cleaning us out over the next four weeks. The new moon will also trine Chiron, which means that as much as we’ll be moving things around in the physical, the real work will happen on the emotional and psychic level.
Prepare to go deep with this lunar month. Prepare to bare your soul. Scorpio strips away all pretenses and opens the door to real change. We just have to surrender to it.
