The coming New Moon takes place on November 1st. This is a powerful New Moon as it falls in the passionate water sign Scorpio, where the Sun and Moon sit side by side. Scorpio is fixed water, accessing emotions and feelings on a deep level.
A New Moon symbolises new beginnings and is an excellent time to sow seeds, launch a project and set new intentions.
Scorpio Power
Scorpio evokes themes of regeneration, hidden riches and secrets emerging. This is the area of hidden knowledge. Go in deep, wait in silence, listen, be, experience the void.
When you wipe the slate clean, you can start over. When you let go of toxins, purge, empty out, you make space in your life for new commitment and intensity. This is Scorpio power at it best; the ability to let go of what’s no longer needed so you can channel your energy and purpose with laser focus.
Water signs represent emotion and ultimately are silent. Practise being quiet during the New Moon to allow a different kind of knowingness to emerge.
Scorpio is the star sign linked to darkness, when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. Open your windows and cleanse your home to let out the dark and allow in the light. Light candles or a fire. Honour and release the past and create space to bring in fresh energy.
Saturn’s Dominance
The closest planetary aspect to the Sun and Moon during the New Moon phase is a trine aspect to Saturn at 12° of water sign Pisces. Saturn is the planet of authority, discipline and commitment.
In a positive planetary aspect, Saturn helps you strengthen your resolve, improve your self-discipline and stand firm on your intentions. Plus, Saturn in Pisces is a kind and compassionate authority, the one who rules from their heart not their head. The Sun-Saturn trine aspect perfects on November 4th. Stand your ground and use your emotional intelligence to good effect.
What will you commit to at this passionate and intense New Moon? Where will you focus your ambition, your intent, your power? New Moons are ripe with potential as they symbolise the start of a new lunar cycle.
Venus & Mars – Love or Hate?
There’s another planetary factor during the New Moon phase which is significant. This is the fact that the planets Mars and Pluto are in opposition cutting across the Cancer/Capricorn axis of the zodiac, as both planets complete their journeys through these star signs.
This is important because Mars and Pluto are co-rulers of the star sign Scorpio. Their opposition perfects on November 3rd but their deep and dark themes are resonating during the New Moon. The Scorpio New Moon feels like the start of this intense energy.
When two tough planets: Mars ruling anger and war, Pluto ruling loss and the underworld, confront each other, you know things can quickly turn ugly. Therefore, take care of getting involved in an argument at the weekend and avoid anyone whose energy is negative or toxic.
If you’re feeling angry or frustrated, find a healthy outlet for your anger rather than dump difficult feelings where they’re not useful. Or, even worse, could be destructive. Sometimes, Pluto represents an authority figure or the dark side of the law, so a cautionary approach is advised. Steer clear of corruption and keep your face turned towards the light.
Talk planet Mercury is the mediator of the Mars-Pluto clash. November 2nd may be the date to broach a challenging or taboo issue when Mercury interacts with both Mars and Pluto. Mercury in Scorpio is the detective, therapist, researcher and keeper of secrets.
On the same day as the Mars-Pluto opposition, November 3rd, there’s an equally powerful Venus-Jupiter opposition, the two best planets coming together. This feels extraordinary and is a reminder that we all have choices in life. What will you choose? Will you choose love (Venus) over hate (Mars)? Will you say yes to peace (Venus) rather than war (Mars)?
