The New Moon in Scorpio marks a pivotal window in this season of transformation. The Sun and Moon conjoin in the sign of regeneration, aligning with Samhain and Day of the Dead in this sacred time of honouring the ancestors. This new moon has powerful and mystical aspects which can help you to unlock deep inner guidance.
Samhain /Halloween is celebrated on 31 October, which will be the dark moon before the new moon. Spirit activity may be high, as the veils are thinnest. This Celtic festival marks the midpoint between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice, and would be celebrated up to 7 November. It was believed that the ancestors returned to their homes at this time, and people would honour them by setting places at the table and eating with them.
While the veils are thin between this world and the spirit world, it is important to work with energy protection. Many different events are occurring from the profane to the sacred. If you are open and sensitive, you would do well to remember to protect your energy field from the various thought forms, energies and entities that are swimming in the collective waters. This is especially important if you are consciously connecting with your ancestors and spirit guides.
At this time, we honour all those who have gone before, their struggles and suffering, their joys and their loves, their victories and defeats. They live on in our ancestral line, in our DNA; and it is possible to connect to their strength and abilities, while compassionately releasing the suffering they went through. This is a profound time of ancestral healing.
When the Sun and Moon conjoin in the sign of Scorpio, this marks a new beginning in the deep astral waters and emotional realms. If you have been doing the work, you will be able to align with a newfound sense of power, simply by being true to yourself and the insights you have gained. You can set your intention to make a fresh start in your psyche, consciously releasing old psychological patterns that no longer serve.
The purpose of Scorpio is bringing the darkness to light. When darkness is brought to light, it no longer has any power and becomes integrated with the light.
As you transform your mind and emotions, you begin to transform your relationships and your world, and make ripples in the collective consciousness.
The Sun and Moon are at 9° Scorpio, and if you have anything around this degree in the fixed signs it will affect you more strongly. There is a Mystic Rectangle on this day, involving Mercury, Pluto, Mars and Uranus. This is an aspect pattern involving tension and opportunities for release. We have been feeling the build-up of pressure as Mars and Pluto come into opposition. The two rulers of Scorpio opposing each other can signify confrontation of buried issues, and power struggles coming to a head. This is exact two days after the new moon. We also have Mercury in Scorpio, the deep penetrating thinker, opposite Uranus in Taurus, shocks and surprises in the physical. So these oppositions are causing tension and unpredictable occurrences.
This tension is eased by the sextile between Mercury and Pluto, bringing an opportunity for deep knowledge and powerful wisdom to overcome current problems. We also have the sextile between Mars and Uranus, which brings active, available energy to blast through blocks and shift things to a higher frequency. We are being challenged to know more, see more and be more.
Overall, this is an immensely powerful time to turn within, and connect to the strength and guidance of the ancestors. Whatever problems you are facing, you have the strength to deal with them, and it is necessary to make this shift for the next phase of your evolution.
The new moon in Scorpio marks the ancient Hindu festival of Diwali, which celebrates the victory of the light over the darkness. This is an archetypal Scorpio theme. Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura, bringing about the triumph of good over evil. The initiations of Scorpio call us to slay the demons within our own psyche, leading to an increase of available light.
At the time of Diwali, the birth of Lakshmi, Goddess of Wealth is celebrated. Many candles are lit, and pujas held, to welcome and invite Her into people’s homes. There are many fireworks and lights, to remind us of the nature of Divine Light. This brings a hugely positive energy into this time of profound transformation. Wealth and abundance are available to us, when we tune our minds to a higher frequency, and celebrate the Goddess and all She provides.
On this new moon, expect nothing less than magic and miracles
New Moon Samhain Diwali Blessings
