HELLO, DARKNESS! IT’S THE NOVEMBER NEW MOON IN SCORPIO

• RACHEL CELESTE HANSEN

On November 7 at 8:01am PST, the new moon will be in Scorpio.

When we talk about new moons, we usually emphasize the “lighter” side: starting fresh, setting positive intentions, and making magic. But at the new moon in Scorpio, we need to talk about the darkness.

After all, those few nights each month when the moon is invisible are where the realmagic happens.  At this time, we naturally withdraw from outward-directed activity and focus our energies within. Everything falls away but the essential core, which becomes the seed for our creative vision in the next lunar cycle.

Yes, death and rebirth go hand-in-hand at any new moon—but while some signs are uncomfortable facing this reality, the November 2018 new moon in Scorpio looks it straight in the eye.

WHAT DOES THE NEW MOON IN SCORPIO MEAN?

With intense focus and penetrating insight, Scorpio sees it all. But with this fixed water sign, what we see is often just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a whole lot more going on beneath the surface: subtle energies, subconscious motives, and suppressed emotions.

Scorpio plays its cards close to the vest, and at the November 2018 new moon in Scorpio, we’re likely to do the same. We know what we desire, and we’re determined to get it. But we’re wary of discussing our intentions with anyone else—that might take away their power.

And power is a big deal to Scorpio. What else would you expect from a sign ruled by both Mars and Pluto? Mars, the ancient ruler, represents the personal or “lower” will. Modern ruler Pluto represents the “higher” will—whether that’s destiny, evolution, or our belief in a Higher Power.

The secret to mastering Scorpio’s energy—and rising above negative expressions like manipulation and possessiveness—is putting the lower will in the service of the higher.

HOROSCOPES FOR THE NOVEMBER 2018 NEW MOON IN SCORPIO

SCORPIO

Rising from the ashes: You’ve done it before, Scorpio, and like your spirit animal the phoenix, you’re about to do it again. The question is, what new reality are you “rising” into? It doesn’t have to be a final destination, just your latest incarnation. But don’t be afraid to aim high—at this new moon, you’ve got the wind beneath your wings.

SAGITTARIUS

The brighter the light, the darker the shadow, Sagittarius. But the shadow isn’t all bad, you know—in fact, we bet there are more buried treasures than skeletons in your closet. And at this new moon, it’s time to start digging for gold. Reclaim something you’ve repressed or disowned about yourself, and let it finally see the light of day.

CAPRICORN

You’re really going places, Capricorn, and your intense focus and determination are guaranteed to get you there. But by the time you reach your objective, will it still be what you want? After all, people change—so for your goals to stay relevant, they’ve got to evolve along with you. At this new moon, get real about what’s driving you now.

AQUARIUS

Patti Smith was right, Aquarius: “People have the power.” But your ability to tune into collective energy is more like a superpower.  The only question is, do you use it for good or evil? At this new moon, you can channel the energy of the group to achieve anything you set your mind to—so please, keep the greater good in mind.

PISCES

“Love and light” may sound like New Age fluff to some, but you know better, Pisces. You’ve been through some dark nights of the soul, and emerged on the other side of those experiences with a new and undeniable radiance.  This new moon offers spiritual experiences that could be just as transcendent; sharing them with others makes them truly transformative.

ARIES

Forbidden fruit just tastes better, doesn’t it, Aries? But some taboos exist for a reason—so before you break the rules, ask yourself just what those reasons are. After all, once you’ve crossed the line, the damage is done. That’s not to say you shouldn’t take risks at this new moon… but if you’re going to do it, do it with your eyes open.

TAURUS

Power couples have each other’s backs, Taurus—but what they don’t do is hold each other back. A real “dynamic duo” is one where both people are free to evolve. True, there’s always a chance you might outgrow each other (and we know that’s a scary thought). But at this new moon, for the relationship to grow, you’re gonna need some space.

GEMINI

Burning the candle at both ends—you can get away with it better than most of us, Gemini, but that doesn’t make it any better for your health. Sooner or later, that candle’s going to burn out if you don’t balance activity (both mental and physical) with rest. This can be a healing new moon, if you take time out to recharge your batteries.

CANCER

You’re not as shy as you pretend to be, Cancer—you’re just waiting for the right moment to come out of your shell. Being selective about when, where, and with whom certainly adds to your mystique. But still, you’ve got to let your guard down once in a while to have a good time.  This new moon might be the moment you’ve been waiting for!

LEO

Pride isn’t everything, Leo, especially where family is concerned. Sure, you may hold the moral high ground in a family dispute, but there’s a lot more power in forgiveness than there is in nursing a grudge. Putting the past behind you may not be easy, but at this new moon, it’s something you can really pride yourself on.

VIRGO

Little details can make a big difference, Virgo. But not all of them are worthy of your attention. Some of them are just red herrings… and if you fixate too much on those, you could disappear down an unproductive rabbit hole. This new moon awakens your inner detective—but make sure the mystery you’re obsessing over is actually worth solving.

LIBRA

It’s not polite to talk about money, Libra, but that’s one rule of etiquette you can afford to break. After all, money itself is neither “good” nor “bad”—what matters is how you get it, how you use it, and what that says about your values. And at this new moon, it’s time to take an honest look at your own finances.

Astrology, Health, Zodiac

With the rapid pace of modern life, stress is a given. Unless you’ve reached nirvana and left the cares of the world behind, you’re bound to get tense from time to time. Some things are universal stressors: ill health, financial problems, and traffic jams when you’re already late. However, what bothers a Gemini (everyone else is so slow!) is quite different from what gets to a Virgo who’s trying to fix everything, or a Cancer who’s struggling to feel safe. What stresses you out the most, and what can you do about it?

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You count on your dynamic Ram energy to get you through the day, and feel vulnerable when it runs out. Especially when you’re down or ill, you feel overwhelmed and stress about all the tasks you can’t accomplish. You’re used to playing Superman or Superwoman, and forget to take time off and be a lazy slug. Be religious about setting aside at least one full day a week to play or do nothing. Life will continue without you!

 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

More than anything else, Taurus, you want to be seen as competent. That’s why you take your time to do things right. When a difficult task looms, you fear you won’t have enough time to do it properly and might mess it up. As a peacemaker, you also stress when you’ve hurt someone’s feelings or can’t resolve a dispute. Fall back on your infallible instincts and trust that your true worth and honesty will ultimately prevail.

 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You don’t suffer fools, Gemini. When the car in front of you pulls a bone-headed move in traffic, your stress-o-meter hits the roof. And, little things get to you — like words being mispronounced or misspelled. You’re apt to blow a gasket dealing with slow or stubborn people, where you feel like you’re talking to a wall. You need regular activities that calm your overactive mind, like yoga or throwing pots in a ceramics class.

 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Feeling unsafe is a sure ticket to stress for you. The Crab puts up a front that makes you seem tougher than you really are, so others don’t realize how deeply you’re affected by criticism, angry outbursts or being ignored. You often swallow your feelings — it’s vital to let people know what you need instead of retreating into your shell and nursing a stress-related ulcer. Breathe into your belly: your true security lies there.

 

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Any situation where you’re not in control and don’t know what to do is your stress trigger, Leo. A computer breakdown can send you from zero to freak-out in no time flat. Not being able to find something you’ve lost could also fry your circuits. Even falling in love can fill you with raging hormones and vulnerabilities that turn your kingly or queenly self into an insecure child. Let go and accept what is: you’ll be much happier.

 

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

You think too much, Virgo — which accounts for your greatest stress. Just the thought of attempting something new and unfamiliar can tie you in knots, but once you’re actually doing it, you’re fine. Making lists will help. You also stress when someone you love is struggling or in pain. Rather than trying to fix things for others, utilize your powerful visualization skills to imagine a positive outcome — then trust that all is well.

 

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Not being treated fairly is very stressful for you, Libra. You’ll spend hours weighing the pros and cons of confronting someone — so much so, you can even make yourself sick! Rather than seething in silence or overreacting defensively, respond calmly in the moment. Keep it short and sweet and curb the long-winded speeches or accusations. You’ll get better results once people know where you stand. An uncluttered environment will also keep you serene.

 

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Others don’t realize how sensitive you are, Scorpio, because you hide it well. Yours is a quiet strength — so loud yelling and noise in general can quickly stress you out. You also feel tense and nervous when you don’t get enough privacy. Deadlines are another source of stress for you: you’d rather take your time than rush to finish things. Be sure people know your needs and boundaries so you can negotiate what works for all.

 

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You’re all about movement, Sagittarius, so sitting in traffic is your own personal hell. You’re also not big on formal events or business meetings where you have to act properly and “behave” according to corporate culture. Any situation that reins you in, like a partner pressuring you for a commitment or a boss demanding you punch in at a time clock, can trigger stress. Make sure you get enough time outdoors to feed your restless spirit so you won’t feel so constrained.

 

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

You demand a lot from yourself, Capricorn. And, you feel pressured when you fail to live up to your high expectations. You can end up going over the “what ifs” or “if onlys” of life ’til you’re all lathered up, asking questions that can’t be answered or longing for what you can’t have. The remedy is to live in the moment, the only place where joy can be found. And, be sure there’s plenty of time to relax in your hectic day.

 

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Though “live and let live” is your motto, Aquarius, you really like to have your way. You get frustrated when you can’t justify doing what you want without a good reason. Nor can you abide people who try to bend your will to theirs. Already high-strung, you become stressed by the pressures of time, and often feel there’s not enough of it. Yet ironically, by slowing down you’ll actually get more done and feel more relaxed.

 

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You’re a very private person, Pisces, so public speaking or other situations in which you feel exposed can be stressful. Subtlety is your strong suit; you feel unnerved by loud music and crass people. And, you get nervous or even sick because you don’t know how to shield yourself from invasions. Adopt the attitude “This too shall pass,” and be sure you’re getting plenty of time alone to process your emotions and clear your slate.

From The Astrology Room

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

There is a more relaxed feel to your chart which is making it hard for others to find the confidence to trust in your work ethic for November. You and I both know that you are more than capable of achieving what’s ahead though, so try to work on convincing those who are in charge, or you could end up with lost time and financial pressure. Everyone knows you are a sign who is not afraid of hard work. You just can’t put your time and energy into anything which you don’t have a passion for. Relationships reach decision time.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

Try not to put people on a pedestal again this month please Taurus. You saw what damage it did in both June and July and you should have learnt your lesson by now. Don’t forget what sign you are and how you are the one who is meant to be in charge. You are just naturally very good at letting your close ones think they are. House moves and changes to your abode in general all make for a very exciting month of November where you no longer think about limitations, only possibilities. You’re back!

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

There are many matters in the home which need sorting out before you are able to enter December with any sort of confidence. Try to be the best version of yourself in the weeks ahead though and not a second-rate version of someone else. Making the extra effort to push your career and to find out how you get to the next level with those you’ve been so far mainly playing games with, can pay off to your advantage. This would also be a really good month to begin a healthier regime for yourself. You’re likely to stick at what you start.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

Don’t let the shaky start which Mars gives to you this month stop you from achieving all you’d planned. You would not start something you did not think you could finish, so don’t let weaker faces convince you otherwise. Time spent convincing close ones that the path you are on is the best one for both of you, is time well spent. This is also the perfect month to begin study and to work hard at taking your career and earning potential up to the next level. Something or someone you no longer want to be a part of your life, can be successfully pushed out of your life around the 17th.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

I know you are growing tired of a situation in your life which appears to be all about someone taking but not giving. Your schedule will not be able to stay the way it is and this is because you are putting the brakes on all areas of your life in order to draw attention to the seriousness of the situation. News of babies and pregnancies makes you realise how quickly certain faces in your life are growing up. Dates accepted by those of you that are single may make you nervous, but are definitely not worth giving up on. In fact, the opposite.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

Never give up on what you really want to do Virgo. The truth is, you can achieve what you want ten times over with the determination you are able to conjure up. What you are really missing out on, is some time with those you think know you the best. Don’t wait for them to call, but instead get in touch with them. I know that they will have missed you as much as you have missed them, but you are not always the easiest of signs to approach due to the protective front you all too often put up.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

Wow, what an amazing confidence boost you are about to be given. I see how docile your chart has been over the last eight weeks and I also see how much you are coming to life now that you are being given the independence your chart has been crying out for this year. As you approach the end of this year, you start to see with ease and clarity, who has been helpful in your life and who has been trying to trip you at every turn. Slow your pace and don’t make promises you don’t have your whole heart in.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

Are you saying what you really feel, or what close ones want to hear? I’m not entirely sure, but what I do know Scorpio, is that this month you are sometimes talking for the sake of it. Children are of special significance and you start to realise that you are playing more of a key role in younger faces lives than you first realised. Taking time out to relax with friends after the 9th can see you discovering information which really can bring you closer to those you drifted apart from at the beginning of the year.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

Although you have a bumpy start to November due to the emotions your stars are bringing out in you, the new moon on the 7th soon gets you back on track and helps you realise what is important and what and who needs to be pushed to the side. The chance to do some really alternative things with your time should not be turned down. You’ll be missing out on the chance to make some really lasting memories if you do Sagittarius. There is a really romantic feel to your chart after the 21st, when I’m sure you’ll be leaving very little to the imagination.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

You think it is the right time to work hard at your relationships, but you’re wrong. What you actually need is to give them more time and effort and slow your pace to truly enjoy them. What point is the hard work you put into life to get to where you are, if you don’t stop and enjoy the view. Remember what I said to you before Capricorn, ‘the man at the top of the mountain didn’t just fall there!’ Taking your time in all business deals and demanding to see all the facts for yourself can save you from being short-changed.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

Your home life comes to the fore and you begin to see with ease what needs to be done to get rid of those negative influences who only seem to want to drag you down. You’re so much stronger than you were and this is shown in the way you choose to let others treat you, or rather in how you refuse to let them drag you down. Be nice to those you work with, even if they are rude to you. It’s time to show why you were born to be a leader and to get on in your career. Wear blue for luck in those important family decisions.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

I know you are looking for excitement and I also know that you will be thinking of doing things which could end up being your down fall. Think before you act, or you could end up having to pay for your actions for months and not just weeks to come. A cheeky mood which Mars places over you from the 18th onwards can help not hinder your life, as it helps you to turn a no into a yes. Jupiter and Saturn join forces to help you replenish those missing funds, but remember to keep paying off what you owe, instead of ignoring what your original game-plan was. Ring now for your future to be revealed.
