New Moon in Scorpio – November 18th 2017
This week’s New Moon does appear to be something of a wild ride. I took one look at the chart and thought, “WHOAH.” That’s an interesting way to open this, but, we’ve got quite the Uranus influence on a Scorpio New Moon, popping in on Saturday, the 18th.
As always, it’s important to understand that the energies in these lunations aren’t a one day sort of deal. Nor are they moving forward- they also carry backwards, as these are cycles. First, you need to understand that the influences of this New Moon will go on for the next month, until December’s New Moon in Sagittarius. With New Moons, the themes will typically be new beginnings.
Technically speaking, they mark the end of a previous 28 day lunar cycle- and the beginning of a new one. You may want to take the first week, in particular, to analyze areas of your life you could do with a fresh approach to. Think back on the prior month, and really, pay attention to what was not working. Let it go, and adopt new approaches.
Let’s take a look at this week’s New Moon…
The Trine
So, the very first thing that caught my eye was this trine. I’ve outlined this in red for you, so you can see how this plays out on the chart. You can see Saturn, there, in Sagittarius and you can see Uranus in Aries. Though Saturn tends to be “the big heavy” and Uranus usually portents chaos, rebellion and the unexpected: the aspect at play here is important. It’s a trine- and trines tend to be very positive, though they can also indicate overdoing things just a bit. Another aspect I haven’t marked is that this New Moon is quincunx Uranus- which offers us a bit of underlying tension. Our intuition may be hinting at something to come, but we don’t quite know what. This can make for some restless energy.
As you can imagine- when you take one planet, (Saturn) that tends to stand for stability, groundedness, discipline and you blend it with another, (Uranus) which stands for anything but- in a positive way, positive outcomes can occur.
A Little Bit of Homework For You
Now, I’ve highlighted Sagittarius and Aries with blue hearts this week. Looking at them in your own chart can help you to plan things out a bit. Last week, on the 11th, Saturn made its final trine to Uranus in this particular cycle. This New Moon activates it. Saturn has been in Sagittarius since September of 2015 and you may notice its impact two places. First, you have likely been challenged in ways that have had you rethinking what you believe in. Second, though- Uranus, being in Aries, has been throwing almost shocking developments into the areas of your life covered by that sign. If you’re not familiar with your natal chart, think about the areas you’ve had the most weird, unexpected challenges happen in. Was it your love life? Your family life? The list goes on. If you do get your chart done, you may just find: the houses match the issues you’ve been dealing with!
The good news here is that, all of this is now coming together, but in a bit of a “mixed blessing” sort of way. This trine is not without challenges, yet, you’ll find you are able to discern just the proper course through. Not only that, you should find yourself making or strengthening the connections you need to put some major changes forward. Because there are also some rather interesting, yet challenging aspects involving Mars and Pluto: you may find you feel a bit more aggressive but, avoiding tantrums born of that frustration is important. You do that, and instead, channel it into constructive things: you’ll make the most of this trine and make serious progress.
Use That Trine Energy
So, the keys here- to using this lunation cycle to your very best advantage: work with that trine energy. You do this by being assertive, not aggressive. That means tapping into your inner leader rather than your inner bully. Allow your intuition to show the way forward and be mindful of the cues you see. You’ll discover ways of working smarter, rather than harder and in the long run, find ways of smoothing things over as you take big steps forward.
If you ARE following along using your own natal wheel, pay special attention to Sagittarius and Aries. Aries may well show you where your problematic areas have been, Sagittarius will reveal much in the way of how changing your perspective- may just change your life.
