There is a new moon in Scorpio – time for a belief to fall into the abyss

It’s time to reach for your shadows and shake hands with your demons, folks—there’s a new moon shining in the sign of Scorpio.

The new moon in Scorpio peaks in November. 1 at 8:47 a.m. ET.

Scorpio is ruled by Mars, the planet of vitality, and Pluto, the luminary of death.

It is through the reconciliation of these extremes that Scorpio finds its ultimate power.

Scorpio owns the eighth house of sex, endings and resources – that building of the unconscious where things are felt but not seen.

The new moon in Scorpio insists that you dig deeper, see in the dark, and move closer to the kind of honesty and intimacy that terrifies you the most.

A trust in the abyss, if you will.

The meaning of the new moon

The new moon is a clean slate, returning the fresh impurities of a month-long lunar cycle. The sky darkens and we go deep, especially under the influence of Scorpio.

A new moon occurs when the moon is in conjunction with the sun – and so is no longer visible from our earthly perspective. As such, the new moon always falls in the same zodiac sign in which the sun is moving.

The sun symbolizes the ego, the core self, and our forward trajectory, while the moon represents our primal nature, the need for nourishment, and subconscious urges.

In astrology, the sun symbolizes the ego, the core self, and our forward trajectory—while the moon represents our primal nature, the need for nourishment, and subconscious urges. When these two bodies match in sign, it is an opportunity to appreciate and progress.

This week, that possibility takes shape in the fixed waters of death-centered, obsession-prone Scorpio.

Manifestation of the new moon

New moons are powerful times for manifestation practices. Because this new moon falls in the sign of the threshold of death during the time of year when the proverbial veil between the worlds is thinnest, it is an excellent opportunity to seek advice from the ancestors and initiate a dialogue with the departed.

During the new moon in Scorpio, the sign’s two planetary rulers, Mars and Pluto, will close in anertic-degree opposition, a tense AF aspect that brings to the fore fears, insecurities, base instincts, emotional responses, and the struggle for power.

Tempers flare, daggers fly. Approach anything that opposes you. Hold on tight, hold the sting, and try to see the friction as a spark for intimacy rather than a match for discord.

What is a shadow?

Scorpio is synonymous with shadows and shadow work.

To better understand the dark side, it is helpful to define it. Basically, our shadows represent everything we’ve internalized—all the bad parts, shameful urges, overwhelming emotions, intense experiences, and terrible truths we’ve tried to repress and/or separate from.

But as any psychologist will tell you, shadows make for a very shallow grave, and there’s no better time to exhume and integrate than under the dark skies of a Scorpio new moon.

New Moon in the meaning of Scorpio

Scorpio represents the transformative power of trauma and the potential for our shadows to reveal a path to the sun of actualization.

Spiritual types will tell you that every decision in life comes down to a choice between love and fear. They are never higher than when we face our own shame, guilt, and avoidance.

It’s easy enough to bring out the hidden qualities of ourselves—places where we’re afraid, jealous, hateful, or cowardly. But there’s no use looking in the dark if we don’t work out why something got kicked out in the first place.

Part of this process may include thanking these dark parts of ourselves for the role they played in protecting us. We can accept that service by explaining that we no longer require that particular wall.

After all, Scorpio is the sign of healing, shamanic work and rebirth. We can initiate ourselves into the art of healing by seeing our lives as blessed by the baptism of fire, which better equips us to hold space for others as they walk their seasons in hell.

As astrologer Jill Wintersteen brilliantly explains, “When we acknowledge anger, it often becomes motivation or clarity. Fear can become surrender and trust. Anxiety or worry can lead to calmness or even excitement. Sadness can lead to creativity and self -acceptance. And emotional connections can lead to gratitude and an ability to move forward.â€

Fear as fuel

This energy of transformation is not about being fearless, but resolved.

As dual Scorpio Georgia O’Keeffe once confessed, “I’ve been absolutely terrified at every moment of my life and I’ve never let it stop me from a single thing I wanted to do.”

The themes and threads of the new moon apply to all of us, regardless of sun sign. Where and how this energy is expressed depends on the house within your individual birth chart ruled by Scorpio.
