Scorpio New Moon
When change is met with resistance, it disrupts. When change is met with openness, it frees. Embracing the freedom that comes from change is the freedom that opens us up to pure creative potential.
This evening the Sun and Moon join at 4° of Scorpio. The face of the moon goes into complete darkness, and we begin a new cycle of transformation. Scorpio is the sign of power, emotional attachments, and the shadow. It takes us into the psychological depths we rarely dive into- and it is where we experience death, transformation and rebirth.
In exact opposition to the Sun and Moon in Scorpio is Uranus, at 4° of Taurus. Uranus is a planet that creates upheaval, innovation, and chaos. It is revolutionary, confrontational, and electric. Uranus brings insight and new ideas when we are open to it. However it can also feel extremely destabilizing and uncomfortable.
The tension of this lunation between the Sun and Moon in opposition to Uranus is forcing change, whether or not we are ready or willing. We are given permission to rebel against the psychological wounding that has kept us feeling trapped or powerless. We are able to set ourselves free by connecting to spirit and journeying into the underworld.
Scorpio season is a time to dive deep into the subconscious realm, to acknowledge all parts of our selves, and to initiate a process of healing. It is a time to rise from the ashes and emerge anew.
