EP 113: New Moon in Scorpio
The New Moon in Scorpio arrives on Thursday 11/3 and brings with it an intensity that will force you to make the changes you need to make. The New Moon forms a T-Square with Uranus and Saturn, triggering the underlying frustration and restlessness we’ve been feeling all year.
This week feels like a breakthrough, when the status quo becomes so unbearable that you just have to break free. Consider this the moment you’ve been waiting for to change your plan, pivot, adjust or just say, “I quit.”
Think of this New Moon like the tulips you’re currently planting if you’re the gardening type (Taurus peeps I’m lookin’ at you). The tulip bulbs have to be planted deep in the dirt now. Then they go through the darkness of a cold winter and poke through the top soil and blossom right after the Spring Equinox letting us know that brighter and warmer days are coming.
You know you want to bloom, but you might not want to spend time in the dirt. Scorpio season reminds us that going deep into the muck is exactly how we get transformed. Lean on your support system, call a friend, prioritize time with the people that really get you. Scorpio season is about healing your wounds, you don’t need to do that solo.
On Friday the energy shifts as Venus enters Capricorn until 3/7. Yes, you read that right! Venus will be retrograde from 12/19/21-1/29/22. That means it’s time to get serious, if you’ve been putting off a commitment or a some bills, take care of it now before the retrograde. And please don’t put off the holiday shopping! No Christmas Eve Hail Mary mall trips this year. Get your holiday supplies before 12/19.
Mercury has finally cleared his post retrograde shadow and hopefully you’ve collected all the info you need from his extended time in Libra. Many of us have gotten clear on how we want to communicate in our relationships, what boundaries we need to uphold at work and at home, and what fairness and equality looks like in this new landscape.
On Friday Mercury moves on from chatty, partner-oriented Libra into private, mind-reading Scorpio. It’s a big shift, so if you your loved ones aren’t telling you how they feel, it might be that they don’t have the words, or they want you to read their body language.
This weekend brings a much needed respite from the intensity, as Venus sextiles Mercury, while the moon is in Sagittarius - the perfect recipe for a laid back social gathering with your nearest and dearest.
