New Moon in Scorpio 2023 at November 13th at 1:27am PST
The call to a deeper life
Dear Earthlings
I know life has been intense and challenging. We are being called into our depths to feel more, look deeper and most important, to question our mortality. And that question can bring change.
The narrative our culture advises us is that having more stuff is what brings satisfaction but we have all discovered it doesn’t. This New Moon in Scorpio requires us to find what brings us depth in life that isn’t material and in doing so we find meaning.
What creates fulfillment is very different from person to person. We must be very brave and kind with ourselves to pursue our personal desires because we are also instinctually fearful of being rejected for being different. Put on your superhero cape for this New Moon and allow yourself to question your life for it will open up a path for you to traverse.
Finding this path can seem like walking through the dark woods that is full of demons and trolls that want to lead you into peril.
Yes, you will tempted to run from (or to) them.
Stay strong, stay focused.
Move into your intuition and let it guide you.
Remember you must FEEL your way through this, you will not out-think this Scorpio Moon phase. Your intuition is heightened. Listen to it!
Uranus and Mars are deeply woven into this New Moon so know that what you need to change in your life will be revealed. Mars will give you the courage to make these changes but make sure to temper the call to action with kindness. Whenever the trickster Uranus is involved, stay flexible and open minded. (Scorpio’s biggest challenge!)
Perhaps you don’t know your own path? Do not be afraid, this New Moon will assist you in revealing a truer, deeper way for you. Call out to it like you would a lost child. Call it to you through want and need. You will be shown a way.
In astrology there are “Sabian Symbols” where each degree of the Zodiac has a descriptive image attached to it. The Sabian Symbol for this Moon at 21° Scorpio is “Obeying his conscience, a soldier resists orders.” This is a profound metaphor for this Moon. It punctuates the importance of following our own path through the tangled woods that will lead to a more passionate life even though it may not be what is expected of us.
New Moons always mark the start of a new cycle and this one is a strong reminder to not be afraid of letting go to start again. Don’t knock on doors that are closed, let your intuition guide you toward the ones that naturally open before you.
