New Moon in Scorpio: November 2024

The moon is on her way to being new this Friday November 1 in the watery sign of Scorpio at 7:47 am CST. Being in a “watery” sign means our emotions, feelings, relationships and intuition take center stage for this new moon. New moons occur every month when both the sun and moon are in the exact same sign at the exact same degree; for this lunation both the sun and moon will be at 9 degrees of Scorpio. New moons are linked to new beginnings so this is the perfect time each month to make your wishes and set new intentions. The day before the new moon is known as the dark moon. The dark moon is a time to get quiet, meditate, self-reflect and clean house letting go of those things that have served their purpose.

Going Deep with the New Moon in Scorpio:

Deep and depths are keywords associated with this mysterious 8^th sign of the zodiac. Scorpio is a sign that loves to plunge deep in life experiences, no shallow, superficial goings-on when Scorpio arrives on the scene; Scorpio energy says go deep or go home. Deep, soulful connections with others is right up Scorpio’s dark alley. Now is the time to dig deep and unearth those feelings you’ve buried deep in your soul because they were just too scary to face let alone express. A new moon in Scorpio can call you out if you’ve been hiding from yourself.

Tarot and the New Moon in Scorpio:

Each sign of the zodiac is linked to one of the major arcana cards in the tarot and for Scorpio that would be the Death card. Understandably, people can get a bit skittish when the Death card appears in their reading but it really isn’t as drastic as it seems it’s actually more figurative rather than literal, it’s about endings. The Death card and the sign of Scorpio understand death/endings are a part of life; relationships end, jobs end and certain phases of our lives end. The new moon in Scorpio is telling us something in our lives needs to die in order for us to grow. Maybe you’ve been holding on to an old identity that you’ve outgrown. Maybe those around you are invested in you playing a particular role and that role just isn’t working for you anymore. Whatever leaves your life at this time is actually making room for the new. Remember, rebirth follows death.

Mars, Pluto and the New Moon in Scorpio:

Mars and Pluto are major players in this new moon because both planets are connected to Scorpio. Each astrological sign is ruled by a particular planet. Before the discovery of Pluto, Mars was the ruler of Scorpio and some modern-day astrologers feel Scorpio is co-ruled by both planets. On the day of the new moon Pluto and Mars are in opposition. In astrology, an opposition means the planets involved are in an antagonistic and difficult relationship with one another. When Mars and Pluto are in opposition we can find ourselves clashing with others because of a lack of control and patience. Power struggles with others can break out. Those around us may be looking for a fight or use passive aggressive tactics to try and control us; don’t take the bait.

Control, Surrender and the New Moon in Scorpio:

Paranoia and control are two more keywords linked to the sign of Scorpio. A new moon in Scorpio can stir up our trust issues. When our trust issues are stirred up our control issues aren’t far behind. We can become obsessive and paranoid when our trust is being tested. Our lust for control can drive us absolutely bonkers so try to relax so remind yourself to relax and let things go; trusting that we don’t always know what’s best for ourselves and that maybe, just maybe, the Universe has a better plan for our lives.

Have a great new moon in Scorpio and we hope to see you in the store soon.
