New Moon In Scorpio: Shake Ups & Obstacles
We are having a New Moon in Scorpio on the night of October 27th in the Americas and on the 28th elsewhere.
This is initiating a new 29.5 day lunar cycle and new wave of energy for the coming month; however, the astrological configurations mentioned in this article will be more prominent over the coming two weeks. This cycle will include a Full Moon in Taurus on November 11th/12th. Scorpio season began on October 23rd; however, Mercury and Venus have already been there in the weeks prior to this. This New Moon triggers the energies of this sign even more so as it gets imprinted into the Lunar Cycle with its themes. Scorpio is about depth, transformation, power, regeneration, mastery, extremes, sex, and rebirth. It is complex, passionate, intuitive, calculated, mysterious, penetrating, investigative, controlling, driven, observant, intense, and primal. Psychotherapy, deep healing, or anything that is esoteric can fall under the domain of this sign as it can be about exploring the hidden aspects of life. Scorpio is also associated with fears, shadows, death, secrets, envy, manipulation, obsessiveness, vengeance, and savagery. Things like shared resources, shared values, investments, inheritance, as well as taxes, debt, and credit all fall under the domain of this sign. Mercury is slowing down and getting close to beginning its retrograde on October 31st, which will also be in Scorpio. You may have already begun to experience its effects and challenges recently and over the last few weeks. During this next month we can experience insights, adjustments, re-visitations, and re-orientations connected to Scorpio themes. I will be writing a separate article on this, and you can join my mailing list here to ensure that you receive it. This New Moon is in a tight opposition to Uranus in Taurus. This could indicate surprises, disruptions, sudden changes, instability, or even anxiety. Considering this combined with Mercury going retrograde, it would be wise to be flexible with your plans. This energy can also reflect wanting to liberate from a situation, try something new, or take an unusual approach to something. It could also be experienced as rebellious and non-conforming. However, it could make us impulsive and hasty and it would be wise to be cautious when making major decisions. Considering that this opposition occurs in the Taurus-Scorpio polarity, it could play out around finances/resources, or could be pertaining to personal values versus shared values. It can also bring something to the surface in some kind of surprising or accidental Uranian way.
The traditional ruler of Scorpio, Mars, is in Libra while in a tight square with Saturn in Capricorn and a quincunx with Neptune in Pisces. This energy is strongest in the days surrounding the New Moon but can still affect the following weeks. Our actions may be blocked somehow or we can face obstacles, struggles, or perhaps feel like we are under pressure. We may be confused in how we should be applying ourselves and it could be easier to make mistakes. Some people may feel less motivated, or dissatisfied. Although this energy can be challenging, its best to do things thoroughly and cautiously. Mars moves towards a square with Pluto in Capricorn, which is exact from November 4th-6th. This can trigger deep and suppressed feelings. Intensity, power struggles, and conflicts could occur. We may assert ourselves in obsessive or compulsive ways. This can also stimulate strong desires, passion, and sexual energy. It can be good for applying ourselves strategically.

What aspects of your life do you need to approach with more depth and realness? Do you need to take a look at the darker aspects of yourself and do the shadow work to help in your healing process?

Does something need to be addressed that is connected to finances, taxes, or debt? What’s coming up for you in regards to sexuality? These are just some examples of what to consider or focus your intentions on at this time; however, it is good to reflect on anything else that is coming up for you. It is generally best to make any intentions within the first 24 hours following a New Moon.
