If you've been following my work for awhile, you should know what Scorpio is symbolic of by now. If not, here's a recap - It's the season of death & rebirth where the darkness rules and the veil between worlds are thin, but is often misunderstood and feared.
This is a private place in your life where you keep the details on the down low, as it holds your personal desires & passions plus shadow qualities that you don't want others to see, and sometimes so cloaked in secretiveness that you have a hard-time fully understanding it yourself, as you might resist the energy that builds here, unless of course you have allowed self to surrender to the intensity that arises from this sacred place of your being - your root chakra.
Emotional intensity, secret desires, passion, power, control and transformation are good keywords for this area of your life (your Scorpio House).
As always new moons indicate a fresh start with new energy. Find your Scorpio area of life (house) in your chart, this is where you currently have new beginning potential after transforming the intensity or dark energy that you have been feeling lately into light. It's time to set new intentions for this area of your life, rising above what's been dragging you below. That is, if you want to be in the flow of nature's natural energy currents. Look around at mother earth. Can you let a part of yourself die and be reborn as well?
There is two main themes to this intense and passionate new moon - Mercury conjunct the new moon & trine Neptune. This is showing the best way to transform the energy building in your life that you would rather not feel. The trine to Neptune in Pisces makes this Scorpio new moon true sorcerer energy and very mystical. The mind plays a strong role too - mental power, you know, mind over matter, mind controlling emotions and even communicating your intensity or shadow side can help transmute or release it. You don't have to tell everyone, just some kind of mental outlet to help release.
What part of your life has been feeling emotionally intense lately? If you are a spiritual person, (not necessarily religious) then this is the perfect opportunity for you to tap into that something beyond yourself using faith and higher forces, and the power of your mind to clear out anything unwanted, or better yet, transmute it into raw power that will ease your stress/emotions, anger, anxiety, etc and help with determination to manifesting your goals and a new start for this area of your chart. But this only works if you can accept your own darkness within and not project it onto other people in your life.
If not spiritually minded, imagination can also play role in helping you transform this energy into something positive and help manifest your intentions. Just don't try and escape any intense feelings or deny the dark within or it will only stay there and fester, doing you more harm than it already has.
First tho you have to surrender to the emotion that's been getting intense and let the dirty dark-side of its truth rise to the light of consciousness, facing it, This emotion could be jealously, possessiveness, manipulation, anger, unwanted desires, stress, etc. You know - the shadow. Find your courage if life is too stressful, using your mind to over-come it, and using imagination to paint a picture of your life you wish to live - then take the steps to create it. We all have negative thoughts and feelings from time to time, it's normal. We are both dark and light - ALL OF US. Transform the negative into positive.
That's what I think this Scorpio new moon is all about.
Hope the info is helpful. Happy Scorpio season.
