Scorpio New Moon

“Regain perspective – You perceive the complication to be worse than it really is” – the 11/1 Scorpio New Moon may have us on edge, worried and quite possibly overwhelmed. With Mars opposing Pluto during this pivotal Lunar cycle, there is also a sense of urgency coupled with a deep desire for significant transformation/change. Take comfort that the correspondences for this lunation tell a story of rebirth after upheaval, rewarding true service, uplifting community, and coming together despite any inferior influences threatening the situation.

The Tarot correspondences include Death (Scorpio), Judgement (Pluto is the modern ruler of Scorpio), The Tower (Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio and rules decan 1), and the emotionally-charged 5 and Knight of Cups. These cards tell a story of managing big feelings after upheaval and an impending period of transformation and rebuilding. They serve as a reminder to check our attitudes, hold hope, offer love to others and practice gratitude.

Scorpio 10’s Sabian Symbol, “A fellowship supper”, is also a symbol related to service, community and camaraderie. It’s the culminating degree of the 5-degree Sabian Expression of “Service”, helping us integrate lessons related to how we serve others this New Moon.

I Ching Hexagram 44 (Coming to Meet), Line 3 holds similar themes of community and implores us to regain perspective after any real or perceived setback.

Don’t let minor wounds ruin your confidence, take nothing personally, and when low-vibration or toxic influences seem to be threatening your situation, this is your reminder to turn away from the spilled cups, count your blessings and move on.

This line changes Hex44 to Hex6 (Conflict), which also emphasizes the need to ignore the bluster, focus on service over personal gain, and not engage in unnecessary conflict.

Overall, this emotionally charged New Moon is calling for us to come together, check our attitudes at the door, and stay calm amidst any overblown or unnecessary drama. We’re on the precipice of a powerful transformation.
