The effects of the New Moon in Scorpio

On Monday 13 November 2023, at 10:27 am, the New Moon enters Scorpio, bringing with it more intense feelings, transformative energy and a call for change. It's a cosmic phenomenon that can lead to heightened emotional intensity and encourages us to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. The transformative energy of Scorpio will lead us to acknowledge our repressed feelings, to understand our hidden truths, including our unconscious patterns or desires, but it will also lead us to plant the seeds for new beginnings.

What is meant by a New Moon?

The New Moon is the phase that marks the beginning of a new month in the lunar calendar. It occurs when the moon and sun meet at the same degree in the sky and form a conjunction. During this phase, the visible hemisphere of the moon is completely in shadow.

The New Moon in Scorpio and the other planets

This New Moon will bring sudden and abrupt changes in our lives because Mars, the ruling planet of Scorpio, is nearby and this New Moon is likely to be as intense and dramatic as a Full Moon, and because it is in opposition to retrograde Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is the planet of destruction, rebellion, breakthrough and sudden change. Its antagonistic position will challenge us all to grow, evolve and get out of our comfort zone. We may feel like a pressure cooker about to explode, but we should try to control the aggression and remember that new beginnings are often based on the end of something else and that sometimes things have to get a lot harder before they get better. Fortunately, Venus in the sign of Libra will tone down some of the intensity and remind us to enjoy life, have fun and share love with others.

What is the spiritual significance of the New Moon in Scorpio?

The New Moon on 13 November occurs in the zodiac sign of Scorpio, an introverted and feminine sign ruled by Pluto and Mars, which are respectively associated with radical change, mystery and aggression, dynamism and impulsiveness. These two together can create intense but powerful energies. The positive side of Mars is that we can now perceive more energy and motivation, a greater ability to get things done and take action. Astrologically and spiritually, this means that we are in a particularly favourable time for introspection and renewal, but also for letting go of anything that is causing us pain or no longer works and moving forward. The unyielding and introspective nature of Scorpio requires us to reach a deep level of truth, which can be a painful but ultimately liberating process. This New Moon amplifies both our emotions and our intuitive knowing, giving us the keys to create a new vision for the future. Let's surrender to our deepest fears, take the opportunity to explore our innermost feelings, leave old patterns, outdated habits or situations behind and make space for growth, for evolution. Scorpio is the sign of rebirth and therefore we can invoke a process of new beginnings by freeing ourselves from stagnation and anything that blocks or hinders us.
