We’ve been thrown into our society’s underworld over the last month.
We are confronting our ethics and the profound complexities that humanity has been grappling with since ancient times as a whole. We can’t close our blinds and pretend that the horror and shadows on the wall don’t exist. And, on November 13th, at 4:27 a.m. ET or 10:27 a.m. CET, the New Moon in Scorpio urges us not to be afraid to examine every aspect of our shared existence.
The Scorpio symbol is the ‘Shaman,’ and this figure reminds us that the path to true growth necessitates cultivating the will to change – which often comes with many rebirths. This New Moon, reaching into the depths, pulls us into anything but shallow waters. As a result, we are forced to accept the challenge. And when we arrive, we’ll be asked to give up our psychological entanglements that are tying us down.
Upgrading your self-care rituals
It’s common knowledge that the Pluto in Scorpio generation (aka the Millennials) has fueled a healing revolution. Even Sanford Health dubbed them “the wellness generation.”
Most of us have seen the criticism of the elitist wellness lens, and we all know that true self-care is more than a ‘Goop-gimmick.’ As a result, this is an extension of our commitment to healing from the inside out. Ask yourself, “How can I incorporate healing practices into my daily life, rather than just as a one-time treat?” When used properly, this is a potently restorative portal.
Sharing your story has the power to heal invisible wounds.
Who doesn’t enjoy a coming-of-age story in which we get to witness life’s awkward growing pains? The film ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower’ ended with the iconic line “Secrets are what keep us sick.” The Scorpio terrain can make us feel so at ease in the dark that we forget to come out into the light. When we keep secrets, we often create our own gated castle. Creating an invisible barrier between ourselves and our loved ones, which can be difficult to close. Unlocking a door to your heart can assist you in releasing feelings of shame and, possibly, guilt. Take an inventory of different areas of your life and note where you feel you are carrying past baggage. We can begin to see that the past does not have to keep us on the hamster wheel by lightening our loads.
Empowering others through money and time
While Mars in Scorpio is conjunct with his New Moon, he reminds us that we can know our strength more intimately when we collaborate with other powerhouses. Scorpio is ruled by both Mars and Pluto, in case you didn’t know. In mythology, Pluto’s castle was made of silver and gold to represent his role as the God of wealth. This New Moon shows us how we can use our wealth and time to empower and uplift our community. Look around you, or even into the digital landscape: a growing number of people are rejecting individualistic norms and arguing that community is a valuable resource. It begs the question: what strategies would Tank and Dozer devise to disrupt ‘The Machine’?
Breaking free from the shackles of systems that do not recognize our true authenticity
Uranus, the heavyweight radical planet, is in the ring, challenging us to discover where we may have compromised our voice. Have you ever silently disagreed with a commitment you made, despite your heart begging you to back out in the first place? In essence, our personal agency is prioritized, and if you’ve been forcing yourself into structures that aim to shape you into neat little matrix cubicles – you’ll feel it bubble up beneath your skin.
Scorpio’s unflinching nature necessitates a profound level of truth, which can be a painful but ultimately liberating process. Some of us may have to admit to having compromised our values in order to gain recognition, wealth, or even a cheap co-sign. When we look outside of ourselves to validate our worth, we are always playing a losing game. Given that the rebellious Uranus is currently in Taurus, we need an extra ‘sprinkle’ to reflect on how we can maintain our integrity while climbing our ambitious ladders.
Accepting impermanence can lead to freedom
Scorpio is a fixed sign in astrology, which means it can be as stubborn as trying to move a brick wall with your bare hands. However, it embraces the interstellar passage into ‘The Great Unknown’. This New Moon invites us to surrender our deepest fears through the art of detachment, knowing that impermanence is the only constant. ‘Uketamo’ is a practice that can assist you in harnessing this cosmic portal. It comes from Japan and simply means “I accept humbly with an open heart.” Every ending is followed by a new beginning, and every beginning is followed by an end. Perhaps by letting go of control, we can trust that there is a deeper meaning behind everything, experience breathtaking beauty, and grant ourselves the grace we deserve.
