November 2023 New Moon in Scorpio ♏️
Scorpio season is among us friends, and with it we shift into the season of coldness and darkness. As the world gets colder, we retreat inward to our innermost depths & are warmed by our internal cosmic fire. We usher in this era with the new moon in Scorpio; as the moon empties, we too empty ourselves of what is no longer in alignment with our spirits.
Journey with me into outer space & bear witness to this cosmic unfolding.
Each new moon is an opportunity to dive deeply into oneself for a clearer understanding of one's feelings. With the moon's conjunction to Mars, we are called to honor our anger, to see it as a means of protecting what is precious, fragile, & vulnerable within us. What are we angry about? What does this anger need from us?
The moon is opposite Uranus, creating some cognitive dissonance; our new brain (cerebral cortex & frontal lobe) yearns for change, newness, yet our old brain (brain stem, "survival" brain) yearns for familiarity, sameness. This internal war is emphasized during this new moon. Remind yourself that it is safe to change. It is safe to let go. You deserve to grow into your favorite self. It is okay if that takes time.
The moon is trine the midheaven as well as Neptune, instilling inspiration & hope in us. We believe we'll find the resources to turn our dreams into reality. Our dreams feel closer, realer, and may even evoke stronger emotions than our reality. This emotional attunement to an imaginal realm can be detrimental or constructive; when the real world feels unsafe, oftentimes we can regulate our nervous system through fantasy. But what happens when you're unable to distinguish fantasy from reality, or become addicted to the fantasy and abandon reality?
Pluto is trine Venus & Uranus, facilitating positive changes by channeling the depth of creativity & sensuality within us & honoring our uniqueness. You are intensely beautiful, precious, and radical. You are a revolution. And it is time to get weird and strange. Pry open your heart & greet what you find with love & respect, honor it, nourish it, and share it with the world.
