“No rewards for the reckless. Deeply re-orienting awareness, trusting your own, unique path.”

This New Moon is powerfully connected to Mercury and its higher octave Uranus, the Great Awakener. Mercury’s retrograde cazimi occurs just 3 hours after this New Moon while Uranus sits nearly exactly opposite this lunation in Taurus 30, perfectly sextiling Neptune in Pisces 30. This New Moon in Scorpio is also deeply supported by Jupiter and Saturn via the Grand Water trine that Mercury retrograde will once again re-activate later this week.

This lunation is an opportunity for deep reflection, re-awakenings and rewards for those acting responsibly, with humility, gratitude and true intentions.

This lunation’s Tarot Majors include Death (Scorpio), Judgement and The Tower (Pluto and Mars co-rule Scorpio), and The Empress (Venus rules Scorpio’s 3rd decan). This decan holds the inspirational King of Wands and the overwhelming and potentially delusional energy of the 7 of cups. These fairly chaotic energies are triggering a necessary and transformative reset for this New Moon.

The Sun and Moon meet in the Passion expression in Scorpio 29. The Sabian symbol for this degree relates to heart-centered advocacy, deep emotional focus, and taking measures into our hands to break free from authoritative discipline.

The I Ching activation is in the 4th line of Hex14 (Great Possession) which advises humility, gratitude, adaptability, and a focus on your own, not others path. The activation of this line is a potential omen (according to @bellwen) “of either a war to come or the celebration of a victory.” It changes Hex14 to Hex26 (Great Taming) which has themes of “taming the wild instinct, the fearsome power of nature. Controlled and tamed power is more productive and thus will yield prosperity and good fortune. Feral, uncontrolled power is reckless and cannot guarantee prosperity or good fortune…“

Use this New Moon to still yourself, reflect deeply on your path, reawaken your passions and reassess/adjust as needed.
