This New Moon of November 13 continues the intensity of the last Eclipse Moon cycle. A close opposition with Uranus in Taurus suggests potentially shocking changes to 'wake us up' to another level of awareness of the 'state of the world' as well as of consciousness. The inner awakening changes our perception and experience of the world 'out there'.
Maybe that's why I thought I 'lost my Moon'!
I must admit I am losing my mind a bit! as Heart elevates with its finer soul-infused intelligence.
This is a New Moon, so there is no reflection of the Sun by the Moon. There is a deep and potent seeding, so very deep in Scorpio's waters. And conjunct Mars, that rules Scorpio! I wrote about Mars, the Warrior, last time, and repeat here to highlight the transformational opportunity in front of us now—to awaken the True Spiritual Warrior inside ourselves.
"A Warrior is the protector of his family and those in need.
A Warrior is the guardian of the ways of honor and courage.
A Warrior will not put his own desires above what is right.
Above all, a Warrior is always motivated by his utmost duty."
The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon amplifies this theme:
21 Scorpio—Obeying His Conscience, a Soldier Resists Orders
Our Spiritual Warrior theme has the spiritual integrity and courage to resist rules that conflict with Inner Truth of Heart and Soul. Scorpio is shrewd, perceiving multiple strategies.
This Martian New Moon intimately involves Ceres as well, Mother Earth energy for the well-being of all, for the Common Good of all Earth beings. She is a Warrior for Awakening and Renewal of our Planetary Life. Her complex mythology tells of Earth mysteries and histories, as unresolved history held in layers beneath the surface erupts across our planet to be revealed and healed.
Earthquakes unearth more hidden dimensions from Earth time, that have been secreted until now. Apply this on a personal level and prepare for Self-revelations, not always 'pretty' in Scorpio, transmuted through the alchemy of Love.
[From last newsletter"]
"Scorpio is the deep subsurface water beneath our apparent reality, the interactive matrix of subatomic particles, energetic fields, jumping electrons that shape and reshape our experience according to the quality of our own vibrational fields. If we do not like our current experience, if we change our subtle fields, particularly in the watery, emotional depths that Scorpio taps into, the subatomic fields are altered and rearrange the atoms for a different material reality. This is esoteric 'magic' and alchemical processing."
I am cleaning, rearranging, letting go of things, of the past, of words, meanings, and, yes, moon shadows. How do you want to rearrange your reality, environment, social context. From that deep secret inner space, what do you really, truly desire from the depths of your Being? Do you wield the Sword of Truth and the Rose of Love and Beauty?
As we each answer that question and unfold the answer, the New Earth will emerge in every moment in surprising, glorious and blessed miracles.
This Scorpio may be a Moon of Loss, of what no longer serves— memories, regret, shadow behaviors, attachment, entanglements that bind.
If you lose your Moon in the process, that's fine, it is the time of a NEW MOON, the light increases to the Gemini/Sagittarius Full Moon on November 27. We will be telling a new story of profound renewal evoked from this deep dive into fathomless deep and dark Cosmic Seas and Mysteries.
This Living Mythology podcast, Light in Dark Times, from mythologist Michael Meade is a wonderful listen, especially on this Scorpio New Moon [thank you, Diane]:
Timely reminder of our astrological ground from David Icke's recent The Dream
[Thank you, May]:
"Astrology is a manifestation of the electrical system. Planets and stars are broadcasting their unique frequency into the universal field with which we are constantly interacting. Their electromagnetic and electrical fields share information. Planets and stars are impacting upon the universal field with their own frequency output as they move in their programmed circuits. When they come together in particular alignments, known as conjunctions, transits, squares, oppositions, and so on, the impact on the field is amplified through collective power. Humans have different frequency fields in part from the state of the universal field (astrological sign) when they entered this reality. They are then affected in different ways by ongoing planetary movements and the energetic symphony they play with sound and frequency."
With Uranus (electricity) so highly activating this New Moon cycle, get more voltage into your body with moving, alive water, barefoot ground, hugging a tree, petting your furry friends. You lose electrical vitality through polluted air/water/food, dental infections, emotional baggage and high winds.
If you have not listened to Moons & Mythos #16 for this Moon cycle, my last post, it is still useful. If you are reading this from you email, do visit
for more posted material. You are subscribed already. These dialogues with Quantum Plant Davyd Farrell offer a deeper dive, more than my fingers can share. Lots of Kuiper Belt engagement with this Moon. Enjoy! You can also find it on his youtube channel here.
