This is an intense and powerful beginning that comes through what is ENDING and will play out over the next two weeks and six months. Scorpio rules our collective 8th house of intimacy - of other people's values, other people's money. Here is where we take the time to understand other people's motives. It's through the constructive traits of Scorpio - focus, resourcefulness, passion, probing, deep perception - that we experience real intimacy. We merge with other people physically and materially. Scorpio is our only fixed water sign. It's potent energy for making deep changes.
Smartly, because we are all stretched pretty thin at the moment - this dark Moon isn't making many aspects.
If it feels like the calm before the storm today it is because in some ways IT IS.
The New Moon is making an applying trine to Saturn. It's wide, but there, so what starts now, is stabilizing.
Brings slow, but steady progress. Growing authority. What starts will have built-in limits, responsibilities and obligations and these are NEEDED AND HELPFUL. Patience will be required. This New Moon will bring a period of WORK, but coming through the 'brakes-off' smooth energetic of a trine this work will NOT be about beating our head against the wall - THERE IS SOME WIND IS AT OUR BACK HERE
(it would be a bit windier if this aspect was tighter, but we will take and use what we can get!).
The challenge now because Scorpio is ruled by modern ruler - Pluto and ancient ruler - Mars is that Mars and Pluto are in a hard edged and relentless OPPOSITION at the time of this New Moon.
This is about transformative competition/transformative anger.
Power struggles. Oppositions can bring endings and this one could be EXPLOSIVE. Plutonian endings are permanent, but with Mars going to retrograde back to this degree around April 15th and going to oppose Pluto multiple times, there will surely be some twists and turns ahead before any real permanency is established.
With Mars and Pluto at the final 29th degree of their signs - situations can really feel like 'life and death'.
There can be an URGENCY.
A feeling like time is running out. And, in some ways it is. Pluto is moving on forever in our lifetimes after this one ....
Plutonian Scorpio learns and grows through loss. We go down into the underworld, and in the end, it's not so much about what we have brought back with us as it is about what we have left behind - always good to keep this in mind during Scorpio season.
The New Moon inconjuncts asteroid Salacia (more salacious news headlines likely) and squares the mid-point of asteroids Pandora and Karma. Pluto - Scorpio's modern ruler - sits EXACT with asteroid Kassandra (the space where we speak, but we are not believed or the space where we have learned to quell our own words/truth because they have been unsupported in the past). Pluto conjunct Kassandra will give us the instinct and power to express our truth whether it be accepted as such by others or not (that opposition to Mars).
The Moon's final aspects in Scorpio will be a trine to Mars and a sextile to Pluto. This is good and empowering news for the Mars/Pluto opposition.
If you are starting something now, you are going to need to go ALL IN. Commit and focus like your life depends on it because in some ways it does. It will be hard to muster up the energy for this (and Mars reversing course this winter, means we will be, too), but it's the ones who find the strength who will get the payoffs and rewards that will come over time. There IS something real here, but we are going to have to step into the mud/get our hands dirty and TAKE CHARGE to make something with this.
This is a very karmic time. Saturn is barely moving and going to station direct in just a couple weeks. THAT is when things will start moving. And there is a BIG Full Moon in Taurus at about the same time conjunct Uranus (and Algol) that will SHAKE THINGS UP.
Still, it will pay off later to focus now and drill down.
Scorpio don't play folks.
I know parts of us are bone-tired and I wish I could say the energy is going to lighten shortly, but this is one of those times that the only way through is going further/deeper in!
I can say the first few months of 2025 look MUCH easier than the last few months of 2024. And life has our back always ...
New Moon Intentions
Setting intentions for "Scorpio stuff" (or the stuff ruled by the house that holds 9 degrees Scorpio in our natal chart) during a Scorpio New Moon can be very powerful. These intentions might include - empowerment, change, crisis skills, self-mastery, sex, soul mates, financial partnerships, avoiding power struggles, secrets, psychology, charisma, restoration, forgiveness, obsessions, compulsions, strength, loans, debts, taxes, inheritances, contracts, releasing revenge, jealousy and guilt, your Scorpio natal house theme
AFFIRMATION TIPS: get into a calm, centered frame of mind - always make affirmations from a positive (meaning both certain and light/calm) space - write your affirmations down by hand in script, speak them out loud - then release your attention from these things knowing that your intention is known.
Know these things are already yours.
xo all - back with the final election posts this weekend, was distracted by Halloween here :) btw - this New Moon is EXACT on Trump's progressed Moon, oh my.
