New Moon in Scorpio ✨🌙♏
November 1, 2024
“Mystical and Magical”
This is one of the most intense and transformative lunar cycles, coming right after the recent eclipse moons to show you how ready you are to leverage what they revealed, reclaim your power, change the rules of the game and move forward differently.
The New Moon on November 1, at 9°35′ Scorpio (14:46 Greece time), initiates a new cycle that invites you to plant the seeds of your future in a specific area of your life. But first, it requires you to dive into the deepest, darkest waters to uncover truths, find answers, and discover your soul’s plan and the deeper meaning behind it all.
Drawing from the archetype of the Alchemist, the Mystic, and the Phoenix, this Scorpio moon arrives to free you from restrictive patterns, habits, and behaviors. It encourages you to go deep into your real desires and needs, undergo transformation, and create space for something new.
This metamorphosis is never easy; it demands awareness and often involves pain, fear, anger, grief, disintegration, and destruction. However, Scorpio, as the sign with the strongest survival instinct, can transmute all these into passion, strength, creativity, healing, and new life!
During this dark New Moon phase, you might feel particularly vulnerable, confronted with raw and intense emotions. Yet, this is a moment where you are more connected than ever to your subconscious, psychic abilities, and infallible intuition allowing you to see beyond the surface. While it’ s easier to confront suppressed fears, negative patterns, and vicious cycles that keep you from true joy and fulfillment.
Under the influence of Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, this lunation leaves no room for half-measures. It’s for those with the courage to embrace the darkness to reach the light, and to let go of what no longer serves them in order to make a new start.
The trine between the Sun and Moon with retrograde Saturn in Pisces supports the intentions of those with placements at 7°-12° of Water signs, offering reassurance and stability for the choices and responsibilities we take on. This aspect strengthens our resolve to create solid foundations for what we want to achieve.
The exact opposition between Mars and Pluto at 29° Cancer-Capricorn, a powerful astrological signature of this lunar cycle and the entire year, signals a final karmic confrontation, a culmination of tensions particularly impacting those at the end degrees of Cardinal signs—Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn—just before Pluto permanently exits Capricorn.
As Pluto prepares to leave Capricorn, this energy creates a strong current of polarization and transformation, urging us to reconsider and undergo personal metamorphosis.
In the mundane sphere, political disputes and social or national conflicts around dominance, hegemony, and interest protection are likely to escalate. This period signals a breakdown of outdated structures, institutions, and hierarchies that have reached a point of decline.
Despite the pressures and conflicts, Mars and Pluto’s opposition forms the backbone of an auspicious Kite formation, and is a part of a protective Cradle and Mystical Rectangle, providing shields and escape routes to overcome difficulties creatively.
The Kite formation, in particular, fosters hope, courage, and ambition, embodying the potential for successful transformation. It leads to something better, creating favorable conditions driven by the energy of Mars and Pluto. Additionally, the Grand Trine in Water, involving Mars, Mercury in Scorpio, and retrograde Neptune in Pisces, offers favor and protection, especially to the late degrees of the Water and Earth signs. This alignment promises opportunities for growth and spiritual assistance, enabling us to maintain inner balance, harness talents, and manifest visions.
Mars’ harmonious angle with Neptune represents a link to a higher power and the higher self, mobilizing and guiding the energy of the “spiritual warrior,” affirming that miracles are possible when there’s will, vision, and unwavering faith. This influence encourages us to fight for ideals and higher causes, overcome obstacles, and serve something greater.
At the same time, the trine between Mercury and Neptune enables wishes to take root, lifting dreams and imagination and opens new paths of inspiration, expression, and creativity, while the trine between Mercury and Mars adds bravery, determination, and the capacity to turn thoughts into actions.
The Mercury-Pluto sextile aids in uncovering truths, dispelling illusions, and gaining clarity on what holds true power and what truly matters, as Mercury’s opposition to Uranus brings unexpected developments and challenges us to think differently.
Additionally, Venus’s opposition to retrograde Jupiter and her trine with Chiron in Gemini and Aries at 21° rekindle hope and optimism, offering fresh emotional opportunities and perspectives. This aspect fosters healing in relationships with others and oneself, fueled by the power of love and if you are directly affected it’s possible to attract what you desire.
The Sabian symbol of this New Moon’s ruling planet, Mars at 29° Cancer described as “A Daughter of the American Revolution” underscores the need to recognize the responsibilities and limitations of inherited values. However, the opposition to Pluto urges us to transform these legacies and leave behind outdated traditions and structures that no longer align with our evolving needs.
We are in a unique energetic window until November 19 when Pluto moves into Aquarius and as this cosmic shift unfolds, the tension between past and present urges us to choose which side of history we wish to stand on.
The approaching New Moon, opening a new cycle in Scorpio, is the ideal moment to withdraw your energy from the outer world, connect with your inner self, and call upon and trust in your personal magic, intuition, and power that can withstand and transform it all!
Wishing you a magical and blessed New Moon!✨🌙🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
