The new moon in Scorpio on 1st November 2024 is happening at 12.46pm UK time at 9º35’. It will be trining Saturn. At the time of the new moon we will also have a Grand Water Trine between Mercury, Mars and Neptune and an opposition between Pluto and Mars. In addition to that, we will have a wide opposition between Venus and Jupiter and between Mercury and Uranus, as well as an ongoing sextile between Jupiter and Chiron.
A new moon in Scorpio brings an intense opportunity for rebirth and renewal. Scorpio is all about depth, transformation and power. This new moon encourages us to shed old layers, release what no longer serves us and set powerful intentions for deep emotional and personal growth. Themes around control, hidden truths and powerful desires may surface, urging us to confront and transform them. It's a time to dig deep and commit to profound change, whether in business, relationships or within ourselves. This new moon forms a trine to Saturn so it’s a positive stabilising influence indicating that whatever you begin in the next two weeks is likely to last and be based on strong foundations.
We also have a Grand Trine in water signs at the time of this new moon between Mars in Cancer, Mercury in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. A Grand Water Trine brings stability in the watery areas so emotions, spirituality and creativity. Mars in Cancer is protective and defensive energy driven by emotions. Mercury in Scorpio signifies intense communication focused on uncovering the hidden and probing below the surface. Neptune in Pisces adds an element of sensitivity and compassion. In a Grand Trine every planet is in the same element which means that they communicate in harmony with one another. This configuration enhances empathy and emotional sensitivity and together with the ongoing sextile between Chiron and Jupiter could counteract the effects of the Mars and Pluto opposition.
The most intense aspect of this new moon is the aforementioned Mars and Pluto opposition. Both being the rulers of Scorpio makes them the dispositors of this new moon which means that they carry extra weight at the time of this lunation. We have the god of war and the god of death facing each other off. This configuration generally symbolises confrontations, power struggles and conflict. On a mundane level it might mean escalation of ongoing conflicts, new conflicts emerging or news of violence. If you have any personal planet at the end of cardinal signs, especially in Cancer and Capricorn, you may encounter resistance either from others or if you're trying to achieve something in one area, you might find that it's not compatible with other aspects of your life. If you find yourself in a tug of war whether with others or yourself, it wouldn't be at all unexpected. Due to Mars's retrograde motion, this influence won't go away just yet and they will face each other off twice more in the next six months. The Mercury and Uranus opposition suggests the possibility of a verbal confrontation but since Mercury will go into retrograde motion, the aspect won't be exact so it suggests that the possible conflict or disagreement may arise because of what hasn't been said or because of a misunderstanding.
The Grand Trine softens that energy and offers a possible solution. Mars links nicely with Neptune in Pisces and Mercury in Scorpio and counterbalances the destructive Plutonian energy. If you find yourself in the middle of a battlefield with someone, rise above it and feel sorry for poor sods.;-) What I mean is try to empathise rather than attack or retaliate, however difficult it might be. This lunation offers you two options. You can use this Martian drive for combat and destruction or for a deep compassionate conversation. The choice is yours.
Of course, how easy it will be to choose one option over the other depends on your personal chart and transits. The people most affected by this lunation will be those with personal planets and angles at 8º-10º of fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) or those born on 28th-30th January, 28th-30th April, 31st July-2nd August and 31st October-2nd November. As usual, for a more accurate forecast, you should read your Ascendent sign and not your Sun sign. If you don't know what that is, drop me an email with your date, place and time of birth and I will send you a copy of your chart.
