The New Moon in Scorpio blasts us into powerful experiences on Thursday, November 4th @ 2:14 pm here in the Pacific time zone.

Scorpio is the most complex of all of the signs. It can represent wounding, and the transformation required to transmute that which is buried in the psyche into honesty, integrity and true power. Through the scorpionic process we excavate shadow material, facing all of our most intense, repressed feelings. We keep going through challenging situations, even when we feel we can’t take another step.

And yet, on the other side we revel in knowing we walked through fire… and survived to tell the tale. Our fears are lessened. We face shame with our head held high. We have died—an ego death.

This New Moon is amplified by the courageous yet fierce energy of Mars aligned with it in Scorpio, and is challenged by a need to find alignment with the Uranian drive to break up whatever is stuck in our lives, and the Saturnian mandate to build toward goals that are both sustainable and perhaps not so traditional.

This is volatile energy. You may feel frustrated, exhausted or simply imbalanced.

People in your life may challenge you.

You may wonder what truly matters, where your life is headed.

Leo energy offers some medicine. Play a little. Be creative. Spend some time with children, your favorite beloved or some good friends.

Extra support comes in the form of meditation and nature, and good conversations. Talk it out. Be real.

Even though many of us have found silver linings in the pandemic, optimists that we are, this has been a long, hard, struggle, filled with false starts and confusion.

I repeat, many of us are exhausted, our patience with the current battles wearing thin.

Revolutions take a long time. The planet is wiser than us all. The cosmos is amazing.

This is a marathon.

Let’s go deep and enjoy the view of the galaxy in all its splendor.
