We have a Scorpio New Moon on Nov 20 at 1:46 AM EDT.
It asks you to assess what’s been bugging you through a magnifying glass. Is it something you’ve been sweeping under the carpet? It’s time to lay it out on the table and acknowledge its impact and the emotional drain it’s been placing on your psyche.
Scorpio is a sign of truth, pain, revelations, and transformations through metaphorical death (or literal, as we know it). Out with the old, in with the new.
This New Moon forms three potent alignments.
The New Moon is conjunct Mercury in Scorpio, forming a Mercury Cazimi – a time when what you think really matters and becomes amplified since Mercury rules thoughts and logic. Speak your truth and envision your future the way you desire it.
Mercury is still retrograde, though. Ideally, don’t start anything new or sign contracts. Instead, focus on improving what’s already in motion and continue building on it. You might also receive important revelations from your past.
The New Moon also forms a Grand Water Trine (an extremely favorable configuration) with Jupiter in Cancer (the sign of its exaltation) and Neptune in Pisces, where it is domiciled.
This is tremendous support for new beginnings.
New Moons anchor in new timelines. This alignment offers the backing needed to succeed if you are proactive. Saturn’s influence adds to the harmonious flow of energy. It can unfold as a serendipitous moment that brings you closer to your vision, being in the right place at the right time,
meeting the kind of people who become your foundation for the future you’re building.
The New Moon opposes Uranus (the ruler of everything futuristic and forward-looking) demanding that you break free from old versions of yourself, outdated routines, or limiting habits and adapt to the new and shiny ways of what’s coming. This alignment can bring sudden eureka moments or brilliant insights.
New Moons are times to recalibrate your conscious, higher Self with your subconscious, emotional Self.
With such potent planetary alignments, this is a window of opportunity to elevate your consciousness through practices that tap into the subconscious: Kundalini yoga (pure Uranus energy), holotropic breathwork (Mercury), astrology (ruled by Uranus), or Tarot (ruled by Neptune).
If you have Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars between 20-29 degrees of Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius and Taurus, prepare for major insights, transformations, and breakthroughs. Your nervous system will feel it, courtesy of Uranus, so sign up for the next available Kundalini class, your nervous system will thank you.
