New Moon at 9* Scorpio

The next chapter of togetherness

Ah, dear Scorpio New Moon, what are you here to tell us? 

We feel you percolating, whispering things we dare not say in polite company. 

And yet, we’re all thinking them.

How did we get here?

What can we do about it?

Will we survive?

Ruled by Mars, and his higher octave, Pluto, Scorpio asks for complete surrender, like a giant Sumo wrestler that has our face pressed to the mat. 

While we’re down there, we hold on and hold on and hold on to what we think we know as truth, thinking that our ‘rightness’ means we don’t have to change, or do anything different.

What we don’t know in these moments is that if we’d only open our minds and hearts, the floodgates of Grace would rain upon us and we’d be awash in sweet relief as the heavy weight lifts.

Scorpio is notorious for stewing in resentment, judgement, anger and self-righteousness. These are common lower expressions and they can fuel us for decades. 

The higher expression of Scorpio asks us ‘But what do you really want?’.

That resentment, anger and self-righteousness is only hiding hurt and disappointment. Wouldn’t you rather pivot and find a path to common ground with all those ‘others’ you’re fighting against? 

Scorpio teaches us it’s not ‘all or nothing’. There’re many paths to the same place and we must work on allowance in order to get there together.

How much of our current predicaments, personally and collectively, are because we refuse to act more expansively on what it means to be a human, and to give others our love, even when they don’t want the same things we want or are radically different from ourselves? 

At the very least, we can offer them our acceptance.

At this new Moon, we must begin to look for common ground, and work toward a sharing philosophy on all the things we’ve been taught are individual pursuits.

This theme will continue to play out over the next six months as Mars opposes Pluto until April 27, 2025, a transit that’s moving toward exact, for the first time of three, on Nov. 3rd with Mars at 29* Cancer and Pluto at 29* Capricorn. 

This kicks off a period of deep introspection about our own belief systems, how they intersect with the collective and the actions we take to uphold those beliefs. 

Venus in Sagittarius opposing Jupiter in Gemini at this new Moon is also asking us to look closer.

Are your ingrained beliefs, and therefore, your value system, actually contributing to the chaos in the world? Could it be that we each are responsible for the external events taking place on the planet in a much more intimate way than we ever realized before?

We’ll examine this more and more as we head into 2025 and beyond. 

Suffice it to say, we’ll be going deeper than we’ve ever gone and this new Moon is the starting bell.

Much better to go there willingly and of your own accord.

Parts of our country are already doing this work because Nature has forced them there. By removing the things they’ve taken for granted (shelter, clean water, food, internet, fuel), they’re starting back at the basics while the rest of us watch from afar. 

And they’re doing it in community in ways unprecedented. 

We’re meant to pay close attention to all those who are rising from the ruins and how they’re working together to do this. These are the stories the main stream media is not talking about but they’re the most important ones, so seek them out.

What prejudice did they let go of quickly once their neighbor needed help? Did they weep alongside them because their grief was like their own? Did they share what little they had so others wouldn’t starve or go thirsty?

What have they learned about what’s really important and what’s not?

It’s time to consider how can we start living this way within our communities now, before the next flood comes. 

This is a theme Mars and Pluto will explore in more detail as they move into Leo and Aquarius over the next few months.

How can we love each other up so much we don’t need to lose everything to realize how precious our fellow humans are?

I hope you’ll take it on yourself to rise into the higher frequencies of Scorpio where acceptance is more important than a grudge, and life is so Sacred you trust each person to know their own right path without judging them for it, so much so that you’ll help them on their way.

Live and let live in love,
