New Moon in Scorpio at 16 degrees
The New Moon in Scorpio is encouraging us to investigate the nature or source of our desires. In Scorpio, the Moon is debilitated or in its fall. Here emotions tend to be slightly more suppressed while the Moon attempts to navigate situations that seem to have been excavated. Here the Moon is forced to sit in the dark with its current and forgotten emotions, urges, and desires. At 16 degrees, the New Moon is reviewing how it cares for others as well as the care it receives. When we reach out to help others or vice versa, are the intentions selfless or self-serving. Is this act of stepping up to assist genuinely contributing to the success of others or a ruse to control the outcome? Are the opinions provided authentically from a space of concern or condemnation. The placement of this New Moon has the potential for lines to become blurred and the inherent quality of one’s worth to become misconstrued. The interpersonal nature of Scorpio brings into question the reasons for why we all align ourselves with others. During this New Moon in Scorpio, it is time to become vulnerable with ourselves. It’s time to look in the mirror and ask ourselves, “why?” Allow your rebirths and transformations to be of your own making, and not the molded manipulations of others.
Mercury retrograde in Scorpio at 6 degrees
Mercury in Scorpio is pushing itself to the mental depths of investigation and seeking the most efficient pathway to transformation. In retrograde, Mercury reviews its thoughts, communication, and decision-making capabilities. At 6 degrees, it is reviewing the hierarchal processes of how it chooses its words, why it delivers its messages the way it does, and what influences its conclusions. In this placement, Mercury has the specificity and discipline required to transform to its highest evolution. Working with the New Moon during this period will enhance discernment allowing process to prove purpose.
Aspects to Look Out for
Venus Factor
Venus continues its trek as it moonwalks through its domicile of Libra. As it continues its internal review of balance and self-governance, it seeks to understand how it adjusts to each environmental occurrence it moves through. In this placement, Venus realized that it transitions through several different cultures and communities. In doing so, it adapts its identity to the circumstances and implements a suitable way of being to align with the environment. During this New Moon in Scorpio, Venus also has relational aspects with Jupiter, Mars, and South Node in Leo as well as the North Node in Aquarius.
Jupiter, Mars, and South Node are all working together in the sign Leo during this New Moon. In the sign of confidence, creativity, and generosity, Jupiter continues to expand these attributes. At 25 degrees, Jupiter seeks to influence with its diverse creative leadership. Here Jupiter has the ability to create, engage, and lead multiple projects. Mars the planet of initiation and action bolsters the leadership qualities of Leo during this New Moon. At 22 degrees, it sets projects in motion with courage and creative discipline. In this placement, Mars possesses a security in self that is reflected in how it takes action. The South Node represents security, familiarity, and mastery. It shows where we’ve excelled and have comfort. At 26 degrees, the South Node is letting us know that it exudes confidence in all arenas and maintains its integrity no matter where it shows up. The sextile aspect these planets form with Venus in Libra, assists in keeping the playing field even while we keep our head held high in who we are.
The North Node is what we are learning and what we are growing into. It is unfamiliar territory and we tend to tread lightly as we assess the terrain. In Aquarius, we are learning identity, innovation, and replacing what no longer works. At 26 degrees, the lesson is finding value in new understandings through exploration then balancing that information within. This trine to Venus enables these lessons to be imbued smoothly. While Venus finds security in who it is, it can allow new information to flow in so that it can also find balance in who it is becoming. During this New Moon in Scorpio, this energy will assist in the discernment required to determine the motivations of ourselves as well as the motivation of others.
