A New Moon happens on November 13, 2023 (5:27 PM, Philippine Time), at exactly 20°43 minutes in the realm of fixed water, SCORPIO, the sign of death and rebirth.
The Moon catches up with the Sun once again in their monthly rendezvous, this time in the realm of Scorpio, arguably the deepest and most intense of all the zodiac signs. New Moon energy is ripe with possibility and promise, serving as a window of time when intentions are best planted. This lunation is no exception, dear reader, even more so in Scorpio, which is the sign most associated with transformations, the very cycle of death and rebirth. The Moon, however, with all its gentle softness and tenderness, struggles a bit in this area of the sky, characterized by extreme feelings, deliberate fixation, and suspicious mistrust towards information that is easily accessible.
True to Scorpio fashion, this lunation carries with it extreme intensity and unexpected assertions (or for some, aggressions) in the areas of our charts where it unfolds. Scorpio energy on its own is overwhelming, and to add complexity to the mix, this Scorpio New Moon also converses with two planets currently engaged in a standoff, in the form of a strong planetary opposition that only happens once every couple of years.
CONJUNCTION WITH MARS
The first of these two planets is MARS, the planet of assertion, will, and motivation. Being the traditional ruler of Scorpio, Mars is quite strong in this position, like a king taking command of his own kingdom. Wherever this lunation lands is where we feel a heightened sense of urgency in taking action and moving forward. There may be emotional volatility within these next couple of days, and possible irritations may lead to arguments that we might find hard to walk away from. Care and caution are important, so we don’t engage in petty bickering that may easily make us lose sight of our goals.
OPPOSITION WITH URANUS
This Moon-Mars conjunction also forms an opposition with URANUS, the planet of surprises, unexpected events, and awakenings. An air of adventure lingers during these next two weeks, dear reader, and sudden unplanned detours from our original plans are likely to take place, whether we like it or not. The influence of Uranus can be unpredictable, often leading to sudden insights, breakthroughs, or changes in direction. It encourages us to think outside the box and be open to serendipitous occurrences. The status quo may be upended, and what seemed like a straightforward path could take surprising turns. The ability to bend, or to go with the flow, may be necessary to navigate this period successfully. Although it may not be apparent for the meanwhile, the path of least resistance eventually, inevitably, leads to serenity and peace of mind.
For those who are willing to ride this wave of change, this period can be a time of significant personal growth and innovation. It may push us to reconsider our values, beliefs, and goals, urging us to evolve and adapt. However, it’s important to stay grounded amidst the whirlwind of change. Maintaining a balance between the deep, introspective energy of Scorpio and the liberating, unpredictable influence of Uranus will be key.
………..
In the end, every New Moon is a new beginning, dear reader, but this one in Scorpio, entwined with Mars and Uranus, is a special portal to profound and lasting change. This is not just a moment in time, but a threshold to cross, a gateway leading to profound self-discovery and renewal. May we all find the courage to step through it. ❤
