Moon-light
In this section, I spend more time diving into the cosmic tonality of this rare moon and what it might manifest on your way across the next two to four weeks.
November 4 will see the fourth new moon in a row marked by an EXACT aspect with Uranus, the principle of sudden change, liberation and awakening. Another 3 will follow up to the Square in February.
For this New Moon in Scorpio, Uranus will be in direct opposition to Moon and Sun likely to bring themes of interpersonal challenges triggered by unexpected events, resistance to change and disproportionate impulsive reactions.
But also offers opportunities for deep introspection, psychological healing and passionate intimate moments.
The strong energy that has been building up over the last three lunations fueled by Mars is almost palpable. Somehow subdued by his presence in diplomatic and harmonious Libra, this fire will now run stronger, deep, covert and unimpeded, ready to spring from under the surface of our conscious minds at any moment as he now entered the sign of Scorpio on October 30.
Scorpio carries the energy of crisis, survival, transformation, and power. In this order.
At least we know what we are dealing with now and aren’t afraid to stand up, assert ourselves and act on our deepest desires.
We step into this New Moon probably exceptionally busy and frantically running from one place to the other, literally or not, with a strong, uncommon enthusiasm for work and play. However, the overwhelming sense we will be left with at the end of it might well be of utter chaos if we are not incredibly attentive to how we, as well as our environment, react.
Scorpio is traditionally associated with sex, emotional connections, death, and rebirth. The nights are becoming longer, and tree leaves are falling ready to be recycled. Coming immediately after Halloween and the Dia de los Muertos, this New Moon in Scorpio invites us to make our peace with what is no longer required, purge ourselves from all the dead stories, irrational fears and outdated beliefs so that we can unite together and build a stronger couple or civilization.
Progress, change and novelty are somehow unsettling for people attached to their traditions and culture. They are very often perceived as threatening.
As the real consequences of this pandemic are starting to emerge, unstoppably, the accelerating economic disruptions, coupled with the focus on the increased inequalities this crisis amplified, are starting to fuel social anxiety, mass resentment and a looming sense of anticipation for events to come.
Many will undoubtedly resist the change, but there’s very little relief to be found in resisting it today when what we are being asked to do is to let go and adjust.
In between those looking for freedom, excitement, novelty, dreaming of a more equalitarian world and being suddenly stopped in their tracks by their environment and authority figures, whether at home or at work…and those desperately aspiring to go back to the way the world was before in a few last delusional efforts…we may well assist to a clash of culture over the next few weeks.
One thing is sure, none of us will easily accept our individuality and freedom obstructed and stifled one more time. When that occurs, we should be extremely mindful of our behavior as our reactions may well be disproportionate, carrying dire consequences.
Indeed, as we are likely to grow uncontrollably rebellious, susceptible and may misinterpret external signals, chaos might well emerge out of simple misunderstandings.
IN OUR URGE TO BE HONEST, WE MIGHT WELL VOICE WORDS AND TRUTHS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO HEAR FOR OTHERS OR ARE SIMPLY INAPPROPRIATE, CAUSE EMOTIONAL FRICTIONS AND CAN QUICKLY ESCALATE.
Emotions of rejection, shame and guilt might be frictions hard to handle over this period. Instead of resisting it externally, explore their roots internally.
To avoid this very divisive process, we will need to pay a very close attention to how we voice things, our words are received, clarify our thoughts whenever necessary, take the time to listen the other, try and understand their point of view and rationally explore alternative scenarios together. Unfortunately, this may not be always possible.
The questions we will likely be confronted to answer are:
We may well try to hold onto it, but the gift will be in surrendering.
THE DIFFICULT REALITY OF THIS MOMENT IS THAT WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO PATIENTLY DEAL WITH OUR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE TIME BEING.
Use this energy to deal with whatever chores and obligations you had left aside and will be reminded to attend to over the period. Procrastination and escape would only yield greater consequences later and you have a unique opportunity to see them through once and for all.
Try and calm your nervous system whenever you feel the need to. Ensure that you focus some of your energy on nurturing and taking care of yourself and you should see this perilous time through. If you feel emotionally overwhelmed, this is an excellent time to contact a practitioner to start any kind of deep healing work, be it psychological, astrological or energetic.
If you have the opportunity to channel some of this energy into your romantic partnership, do so as this could well be a blessed time that will see your emotional connection reach a new level.
Once again, remember to be open minded and empathic as some of your cultural boundaries could be triggered in the process. Avoid projecting your own problems on your partner and reacting too impulsively. Realize that if you have a hard time dealing with any new experience, it is simply there to help you see things you were subconsciously trying to escape before.
Now is the time to receive (good and bad), let go and integrate.
You can talk through any issue through this lunation and who knows, maybe heal deeply buried emotional traumas. As the month progresses, if we manage to overcome the pitfalls that will litter our route and take this higher path, the sky is promising some unparalleled moments of emotional and spiritual fusion once the Full Moon in Taurus over.
Finally, invest some of that fire into attracting a better future by manifesting around the themes of emotional connections, sexual fulfilment, financial investments, tax and inheritance issues, as well as rebirth.
May the light of wisdom and awakenings shine on your path to evolution
With compassion
