New Moon in Scorpio – November 15, 2020

On November 15th we are given a massive boost of intense energy as we are graced with an extremely powerful new moon in Scorpio. the sun is also still in Scorpio as well, making this a double dose of either the scorpions sting or the empowerment of the Phoenix. When the moon is in Scorpio, we feel everything more intensely, especially deep emotions where are heart is in question. So far, this Scorpio season has been incredible when it comes to offering us that push to clear the skeletons out of our closet. Because of Mercury’s retrograde, while it was in Scorpio, many old things from the past had resurfaced, such as old wounds and harbored resentment.

While Mercury is now direct, and just two days before on the 13th, Mars had gone direct as well, and with it being within a Mars ruled sign such as Aries, which also shares home with Scorpio, we can now take the insights and as much as it may have seem unwanted, the clarity, offered to us during the retrograde. This is the time to act upon the things which are necessary to clear out our closet and unburden our hearts.

The moon is not staying within Scorpio for long, as it does move into Sagittarius hours after it was in its darkest phase within Scorpio, this is quite symbolic in the need to apply the healing so we can venture towards new cycles and chapters, rather than repeating patterns that were in correlation with our wounds.
​
This is a wonderful new moon to focus on our shadow work. While it doesn't seem that exciting, or magical, we have to keep in mind when we face our shadowy aspects and bring what lingers in the dark towards the light so to heal, release, and move on, is when we can experience the magic that we desire. 

Scorpio wants nothing more than to transform, as it is the most powerful alchemist of all the Zodiac when it comes to changing and transforming pain into gold. Scorpio knows that life is not all butterflies and unicorns, it knows that pain must be experienced and order for growth to elevate us on to a higher path. With that said, we can all take the scorpion sting as the necessary labor pains needed for our very own rebirth. 

The downside to Scorpio is that it can be extremely self-destructive, and so we must be very careful not to allow the triggers which will be brought up during this moon phase to get too far into our skin to where we end up harming ourselves trying to pluck it out.

As our passions are heightened, so is our jealous nature, or even our need for control. It may be easy to take someone's sarcasm too personally and to find something hurtful from someone's tone of voice. It's not so much as what is said, but how it is said. We can thank Mercury in Scorpio which is being heightened from the solar and lunar energies. With that said, if you happen to feel triggered by anything within your environment, or take someone's opinion too personally, or feel that you are on a mission to change the perspective of others based on your own perception, especially when it comes down to politics, then it may be best if you hide out and stick to yourself for a while. We live in a day and age where everybody wants to be politically correct, however everyone's version of political correctness is much different than someone else’s. While it's easy to shove your opinions down someone’s throat, it's much more difficult to be fed their opinions. Now that doesn't seem to fair, does it?
​
Take some time for yourself during this new moon, and focus on your healing path, focus on the wounds that are being triggered by your environmental influences and try to release the harbored pain. This is the gift that Scorpio offers us; this is the light we can find within the darkness - which is our very own light.

Zodiac readings for the new moon in Scorpio 

Read for your Sun, Moon or Rising signs

​ARIES
Your intuitive abilities are heightened during the new moon in Scorpio, Aries. Your dreams may be more intense, and you may also find that you can feel the subtle emotions of others around you. It may be easy to pick up on words that are left unsaid and to read in between the lines of any form of communication. You also feel more intensely during this time as well, and so your own emotions are rather deep. You may find it difficult to understand your own feelings, and that may be because your empathic qualities are heightened as this is stemming from your intuitive abilities being more empowered. When you feel a certain way that you do not quite understand, it may be helpful to check your environment to see who’s influence you may be under. You may find that you have just what it takes to help talk someone off the edge during this time.  Whatever the case, you are the hero of the Zodiac, and so during this new moon your heroic qualities are being put into action but in a more emotional and spiritual way than physical.
 
TAURUS
While Mercury is direct, we are still within its shadowy period, which means that we are going to experience small waves of the retrograde. This new moon in Scorpio is going to bring about unfinished business from the past. You may have convinced yourself to get with the winds of change, to flow towards a new direction, be it physical or something within your own mindset. You are focused on a new cycle, Taurus. However, with the past coming to revisit you, it does make it difficult to keep moving forward. You might feel that the universe is picking on you, or testing you, because you finally decided to flow towards change and yet you are being pushed back into that uncomfortable comfort zone that you had once convinced yourself was comfortable. This is a time of closure, completing an old project or being receptive to the closure that is needed. Before you can move forward, you must complete whatever is coming to revisit you from the past. While you might feel a bit reluctant to do so, you will thank yourself in the future when you are able to flow freely without any restriction, especially whatever you had left on the back burner is no longer sitting in the back of your mind.
 
GEMINI
The new moon is going to offer you the reassurance that you need, Gemini. You may have been curious about a new venture, or starting a new project, and while you have felt so inspired to get the ball rolling, there is still this small doubt that weighs in the back of your mind on whether or not you should continue forward. You can thank your lucky stars, because the cosmos is shining brightly on you, and giving you the green light to move forward. You may experience this through some form of synchronicity or even connecting with somebody who offers you the right guidance or reassurance that you need.
 
CANCER
You are going to get the results that you had needed for a very long time, Cancer. The new moon in Scorpio graces you with fairness, justice, and the answers that you have sought. You have ended something not too long ago that had restricted you in the past from reaching a treasured goal. You no longer have to face that restriction and you are able to move forward without anything holding you back any longer. You may be also planting the seeds for something even greater in your future such as setting a major milestone that correlates with a binding contract or commitment. What you have your eyes set upon is extremely important to you, and so without anything weighing you down you can seek out what you desire.


LEO
While there is a lot of watery aspects controlling the cosmos right now, primarily the sun and the moon, you happen to feel rather grounded. Leo, you have been focused on reaching a treasured goal for quite some time. You have been focused on making your dreams come true. Recently, you were given an opportunity, or a small taste or a sign of reassurance that you were on the path. This new moon is going to bless you with opportunities, tools, resources, and the support that you need to propel even further on this path towards the abundance that you seek. You may receive a sign during this new moon phase which gives you the confirmation, once again, that you are exactly where you need to be and going exactly where you need to go.
 
VIRGO
Oh, Virgo, it does seem that you may feel you have seen better days. The new moon in Scorpio may not be welcomed, as it does bring a divine intervention which may feel more like a curse rather than a blessing. However, you must understand that this is actually a blessing in disguise. You might find that everything is going wrong for you right now, or a project, or a goal, is proving to be exactly what you had feared it would be, which makes you feel like a failure that had wasted their time. You may experience the destruction of something, or are forced to separate yourself from something, and you are not taking this very kindly. Whatever the case, you must understand that whatever is not working for you, has not been working for you, and so it is time to move forward and on to something else. You have the chance to rebuild yourself and to gather better resources so to start fresh with something that will be worth your while and will bring about the success that you have desired.
 
LIBRA
You might find that you are far in your own head during this new moon, Libra. It seems that you may have taken a turn for the worst, or that you took something for granted. Whatever the case, there is something toxic in your life, or even within yourself, that you must face it and you must purify it. You might have grown obsessive over a relationship, or perhaps you are holding on to something which you know deep down is not good for you, but yet the Instant gratification, or the temporary pleasure that you receive from it seems too good to let go. You are only hurting yourself at this point, and even worse, you may also end up hurting others in the process. Take a good look in the mirror Libra, and let go of what is making you sick.
 
SCORPIO
While you are in the spotlight, it does seem that you feel rather stuck in the dark right now Scorpio. You are typically sure of yourself and rather decisive when it comes to the people in your life or the projects you are working on. However, you feel clouded and you feel lost. You may have others in your life that are speaking up in letting you know what is best for you, however, deep down you know that they might mean well but they don't know all of the facts or what is at stake. You may also feel that you are drowning in your own emotions, or perhaps you are trying to drown these emotions through mind altering substances. Whatever the case, it is very important that you find some sort of clarity , and you can achieve that through a meditation or sitting quietly with yourself and not allowing the distractions or the noise from your environmental influences to infiltrate your better judgment. Take your time to consider the pros and cons when it comes to making any decision and do not feel that you need to rush right now.
 
SAGITTARIUS
You may feel more reclusive than usual, Sagittarius. There is this need to go within and to bask in the quietness. It seems that you have been working overtime when it comes to your shadow work, as the prior full moon had definitely put that into over drive, and it was not easy, however, you are finding the sense of clarity and inner peace that you have been seeking for quite some time. You had felt lost in the dark for a very long time, but now you are starting to see the light, and that light you are realizing has been within you the whole time.
 
CAPRICORN
The new moon signals a time of walking to the beat of your own drum, Capricorn. While you typically are one who paves your own path rather than being a follower, it does seem that you might be sought out during this moon phase by others to conform or follow suit with a current trend. This may happen to be a social cause, or perhaps something that all of your friends are doing, and while you might feel left out, or you may even be ridiculed for not thinking, feeling, or doing the same thing as others, it is important that you do your own research in the matter and you stick to yourself. Soon enough, others will start to see that you have been right all along, and they will end up following suit to the path you have paved.  
 
AQUARIUS
During this new moon in Scorpio, you are learning something new which is going to bring about future success and abundance. You may have been hard at work on yourself, and your projects that deal with the material world. Whatever the case, it does seem that this new moon does require a lot of work on your part, as well as the need to be receptive to information coming your way, with little reward. However, more rewards are available in the future if you stick to whatever pathway you are being called to follow. This new moon calls you to start building something. Metaphorically speaking, just like building a new home, there is a lot of investment involved as well as effort, but in the end, the home is to be enjoyed for the long term and that is the reward.
 
PISCES
The new moon in Scorpio lights a creative fire underneath you and brings about passion you have not experienced for a very long time. Pisces, you are typically a dreamer and very seldom a doer. However, this new moon in Scorpio pushes you to act. You may also experience a reconciliation with either an old friend, lover, or even a creative project. In the past, things were not left on a high note and so there may have been some hard feelings which were carried into the present. Whatever the case, a sense of forgiveness, clarity, and then also a very strong sense of love are added into the mix so to pick things up where they left off but on a much higher note. Miracles are going to happen around this time, Pisces, and so it is important to strike while the iron is hot.
