New Moon @ 19 Scorpio 01'
12:47 PM Pacific
9:47 AM Eastern
As the Sun and Moon come together in the sign of Scorpio,
you may find yourself needing to face the reality of situations that you don’t
want to acknowledge. Scorpio is an archetype that embodies the awareness of
uncomfortable truths—those things in our lives that the mind and ego would
rather ignore. But our subjugation of anything, either personal or cultural,
only amplifies its influence and control over our lives. The planet Mercury
joins this New Moon, bringing with it an expansion of perception to include a
greater awareness of what you have been ignorant of or have chosen not to deal
with.
You can still choose to ignore it; nothing will stop you,
but you will have to continue your life knowing that something dark and
potentially troublesome will be left to fester and grow within you. In this
dark of the Moon, you have the opportunity to set in motion a strategy to bring
consciousness and awareness to that which is unknown to you. And what is
unknown isn’t always as bad as you think it is, but the only way to find out is
to be brave enough to step into the dark consciously.
The planet Mars is nearing the end of its passage through
Virgo and is about to enter Libra to align with the North Node of the Moon. As
Mars nears the cusp of Virgo, it correlates to this feeling of something that’s
“about to explode”. Mars is activating the intersection between the personal
and the collective. Put simply, it brings to the surface events that affect us
all, collective events that seep into our personal lives. It symbolizes the
emergence of issues that are much bigger than you alone.
And as you choose to deal with situations you’ve buried or
pushed aside, you have the opportunity to reach out and ask for help. Take the
initiative and admit that you’re scared or that you need support and
assistance. A new cycle is emerging that invites you to stop sitting alone in
that dark corner. The world is populated with a lot of other people who can
help you if you know where to look or who to ask, but that will require
vulnerability.
In your personal or intimate relationships, this New Moon
requires opening up and getting real about what you have been ignoring. It also
requires that you open your mind and perception to include input from
others you trust and rely on. If you can approach this moment with honesty,
realism, and humility, as well as a willingness to face some uncomfortable material,
you will have succeeded in illuminating some mysteries (whether they’re what
you feared or not), leading potentially to rapid healing and transmutation. Whatever
the reality of the situation, try to acknowledge that help and support is available
to you if you’re willing to receive it. You don’t have to face this darkness
alone.
