New Moon in Scorpio: New Possibilities for You

The new Moon in Scorpio on October 26 turns our awareness inward and gives us the clarity to see what outmoded habits we need to shed. Transformative, willful Scorpio burns away our illusions and reminds us of all that isn't authentic about ourselves. We’re poised for powerful, personal renewal at the deepest level and encouraged to let go of stale behavior in order to manifest new, healthier actions.

The Moon’s opposition to retrograde Jupiter in Taurus encourages us to move toward a broader personal vision. If we keep our eye on the biggest prize, we’re less likely to be distracted by the red herrings that keep us stuck -- the antithesis of Scorpio’s intent. To get the most out of this new Moon, we’re asked to not sweat the small stuff and go for the gold.

The supportive angle to Neptune helps us weave soulfulness into our intentions and make sure our goals are heart-centered and not just based on ego. Take actions that promote more compassion and tolerance through our work, our voice and our imagination. An emotional, intuitive sign, Scorpio inspires the power for change as we root ourselves in an assured feeling that our intentions have already become a reality; the more we “act as if”, the more the world conspires to build the reality we’ve created within.

The new Moon’s sextile to Pluto asks that we release limiting patterns and stifling defense mechanisms. Through stripping away, we reveal a new, refreshed feeling of possibility. Armed with deeper self-awareness, we’re able to navigate toward goals that serve not only our authentic selves but also the lives of those around us. Take the time during those first, fertile days of the new Moon to recalibrate your personal direction and reflect on what beliefs and behaviors you can afford to live without. It’s time to make some room -- enjoy!
