New Moon in Scorpio —
Planting seeds for transformation!

The Sun and Moon are making a powerful connection at 19º Scorpio, at 5:47 p.m. (UT), on Wednesday, November 11, 2015. New moons are about planting seeds, and in Scorpio, this moon will involve going deep to bring about  new beginnings in self-transformation.

Pluto in Capricorn is favorable to the new moon, and symbolizes the process of transforming systems and structures that have been operating for decades, if not millennia. On a personal level, Pluto in Capricorn asks us to question how we view authority, to look deeply at what we perceive as limiting or oppressive conditions, to transform our thoughts and perceptions of reality. What do we have the power to create in our lives at this time?

With Pluto here, the time has come to break down systems and structures that are no longer working. We must release the old as we embrace our true power, giving birth to a new and better plan. However, this power is not the power of domination over others, but the power that releases us from false limiting beliefs and structures so that we may create positive change and renewal. It is time to rise above fear and powerlessness, working together to create new systems that will serve all sentient beings on our precious Mother earth.

Adventurous Jupiter, representing luck, optimism and expansion, also supports the new moon. In Virgo, he teaches us that our new beginnings must also include critical thinking, detailed planning and service if we are to create anything of true value.

Uranus forms a tension building Yod to the Sun, Moon and Jupiter. In Aries, this can represent restless, impatient energy, but can also trigger a healing release if we use this energy properly to courageously break through any barriers of fear, scarcity and limitation that stand in the way of progress.

Messenger Mercury is moving into a conjunction with the Sun and Moon, and wounded healer Chiron is forming a trine in Pisces. These aspects help us to confront our deepest wounds, healing any darkness within as we communicate our feelings in a powerful way. This is a great time to bring up issues that come from the depths of our souls. But, we must choose our words carefully, so that they do not overwhelm or hurt others. Is it time to reveal our vulnerability, as we confront our deepest thoughts and feelings on the road to healing?

This is a powerful new moon. Let’s use this energy to rise above the ashes of negative thinking, fear and limitation as we give birth to a more authentic, new way of being.
