"We cannot go forward until we have faced something buried within us that is holding us back... [F]inding and working through this is a task of some urgency." - Jessica Macbeth, The Faeries’ Oracle
What do you really want? What brings you alive? What fears, traumas, self-sabotaging behaviors have been holding you back from living your most vibrant life? What is the deep truth you’ve been afraid to express or even admit to yourself?
The Scorpio New Moon brings to light what’s been hidden in the depths and shadows of the subconscious. The stuck, stagnant, frozen places that have cut off your vitality and power. The feelings you haven’t wanted to feel. The truths that seem too scary to acknowledge.
The New Moon conjoins with Mars, sparking a massive rebirth of your life force, authenticity, passion and purpose. The sacred masculine, the spiritual warrior in all of us who is here to protect and defend the vulnerable, to take a stand for LIFE, is coming back online - in a dramatic and possibly unexpected way.
The Sun, Moon and Mars all oppose revolutionary Uranus, amping up the urgency to break free from old limitations and break through to a higher expression of your individuality and genius. This Uranian activation suggests that you can “expect the unexpected” - the truths that erupt may be surprising or even shocking.
Mars opposite Uranus can also stir up volatility, anger, reactivity and recklessness. Wise management of this potent Martian energy is key – directing strong feelings toward the higher vision of what you want to create and sidestepping the temptation to lash out at others with the Scorpion’s stinger.
For more insight into what this new moon means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 20° Scorpio.
The areas of life signified by that house are where there’s powerful energy for a new beginning, and where you’re invited to:
uncover what you really want by dropping out of your stories and into the depth of your feelings;
break free from what’s blocking you from living your best life;
shed what you’ve outgrown to make space for a new beginning;
take the risk of trusting and acting on your instincts and following where the life force is calling you;
go on an Underworld journey to reignite your passion and vitality.
