New Moon in Scorpio November 2019

The New Moon plants the seeds that will sprout and flower as the Moon moves from a conjunction with the Sun, the New Moon, to an opposition, the Full Moon.  This New Moon is in Scorpio.  Some belief systems say that the veil is thin between this world and the next during this time of year.  That belief may stem from the Scorpion energy that penetrates and sees through society's polite veneer to the real and raw human emotions beneath. 

Uranus in direct opposition to the Sun and Moon at this time promises a most volatile, unstable and unpredictable period.  Violent weather extremes, floods, earthquakes and other natural upheavals disrupt normal living conditions.  This is not a pretty aspect, the possibilities for mayhem are endless, Train wrecks, airplane crashes and demonstrations; any and all things that wreak havoc on the daily routine are possible.

President Trump, with transiting Jupiter conjunct  his Moon and opposing his Sun will be dealing with courts, judges, treaties and international borders.  The political situation will not cool down for him and actions from his own party will take him by surprise.  And he is not adverse to throwing out a few surprises of his own.  He is a very Uranian type of person and easily adapts to sudden upsets.

Emotions run high during this period.  Mercury goes retrograde on the 31st and will remain so until November 20th.  Be sure to dot your i's and cross your t's during this period.  Scrutinize news, documents and adhere to that old saying, "don't believe half of what you hear" etc.  

At the Full Moon, retrograde Mercury and the Sun oppose the Moon from the 12th house of secrets.  Expect behind the scenes machinations, covert activities and the kind of things folks like to keep on the down low.  Be wary of false information, lies and distortion.  Check it out, google it, give your friend the benefit of the doubt until you are sure you have the facts.

At the Last Quarter Moon, Mars moves into Scorpio and Mercury goes direct.  November 19-20.  The energy shifts, and things being to move forward.  Mars in Scorpio is at home in Scorpio and very strong.  Mars likes a fight.  As it moves into opposition with volatile Uranus sparks will fly.  The weekend before the next New Moon on November 26th will be explosive and upsetting.  Impulsive actions bring unexpected results.  Mars/Uranus combinations are an accident waiting to happen.  Think before you act.  Look before you leap.  Stay safe.  

November New Moon Cycle - Started With a Bang - Will End With One Too?

The current lunar cycle began with the New Moon in Scorpio on November 11, 2015.  The horoscope for that moment put Mars in the driver’s seat.  Mars, the God of war manifested a few days later in the horrific event in Paris, France that has rocked the world.  The horrors of the present day aside this period calls for clear conversation to avoid misconception. There is definitely a lack of clarity in the air and misunderstanding is high on the list of possibilities.

As the Moon waxes heading towards the First Quarter Mars steps aside and Venus gains power.  Love, money and diplomacy become the weapon of choice.  Neptune stations, or stops, and proceeds to move in direct motion.  Some obscure, hidden facts may come to the surface now.  These facts remind us that it never pays to rush to judgement.

As we move from First Quarter to Full Moon jealousy and sexual tension can lead to unconventional behavior.  As the Sun and Mercury enter Sagittarius we leave the deep water and enter a landscape that allows us to see the far horizon.  A look at the big picture encourages free speech but beware of speaking before thinking.  Words can hurt despite the best intentions.  Love and money can come from unexpected sources.

At the Full Moon Venus rules the day.  But she’s looking for some conversation.  There’s some serious discussion going on.  Travel delays are possible.  Check schedules, be clear in your conversation and be on the lookout for deception.  Thanksgiving Day brings a reality check as Saturn in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces. Neptune in Pisces is the dreamer, on the high road this combo symbolizes the Mother Theresa’s out there.  On the low road the deluded fanatic.  Saturn in Sagittarius brings the material to the spiritual.  If we are truly spiritual beings we must walk the talk in this world of cruelty, insane acts and harsh reality.  Avoid snap judgements as there is more going on than meets the eye.  A positive use of this energy is to dream big and find ways to incorporate those dreams into your life.

From the Last Quarter on December 3, 2015 up to the next New Moon on December 11, 2015 expect turbulence and explosive actions as this lunation period will end as it started, with a big bang. Warfare, weather, power plays and the urge to dominate create havoc.  This is true in personal as well as global situations.

From the Last Quarter to before the next New Moon is a good time to banish something.  Get rid of a bad habit, an emotional tie, or simply negative thoughts.  This is a time for meditation and contemplation as you prepare for the next New Moon on December 10^th.  After the New Moon is the time to begin anew.

As the Sun traverses Sagittarius keep in mind the positive aspects of this sign.  Sagittarius is the sign of philosophy and religious beliefs and most importantly of all it is the sign of tolerance.  It is not “my way or the highway” but “all roads lead to heaven.”

Scorpio New Moon

The New Moon perfects at 2:13PM EST, today, November 16, 2009. This Scorpio New Moon brings up the issues of debt, international finance, international relations, pension funds, and interest rates. Scorpio is a secretive sign and we may not hear about any of this because Wall Street and Washington are keeping a low profile. They don’t want the American public to ask too many questions. Scorpio Moon engenders intense energies and stimulates our desire to probe the depths, dig for the answers and to not accept things at face value. A Scorpio lunation stimulates our desire to know what is hidden; rouses our attraction to the forbidden, the mysterious and the sexual. Ooh La La. Scorpio can be a helper and healer or can use the Scorpionic powers to keep others dependent. With Scorpio energy there is not much room for compromise. With no middle road negotiations are hammered out with no holds barred. In the New Moon chart, Venus, the diplomat, in Scorpio, has donned her combat boots. She’s through talking. Saturn and Pluto, at odds with one another, set the tone while occupying important points in the New Moon chart. Saturn is strong, in negotiating Libra but Pluto is at the top of the chart flexing his muscle. Overall it is not a happy influence. On a personal level the energy of Scorpio calls to us to take the high road while giving us the courage to take the dangerous path of truth. Issues of power and control surface over the next couple of weeks; don’t go on a power trip and don’t fall victim to one who seeks to control every aspect of every situation. Don’t obsess and remember to breathe.
