Monday, NOVEMBER 9

The New Moon occurs early today, at 2:02 AM EST, in the sign of Scorpio. We’re encouraged to step out of our comfort zone and welcome new ways to live, heal, and transform. It’s a time for taking a good look at what we may have chosen to sweep under the carpet.

Taking time to understand others’ motives can enrich our feelings of intimacy, forgiveness, and meaning. We might use this cycle to focus on and develop one special project or relationship to help add purposefulness and depth to our lives. It can also be a time to seek ways to release our fear of confrontations and heavy emotional situations.

We’re discovering that although they may be uncomfortable, these situations can lead us toward psychological healing. We’re receiving a strong prompt to approach our intimate relationships, power dynamics, shared resources, and dependencies in new and improved ways.

This New Moon widely aligns with retrograde Mercury and widely squares the Mars-Jupiter alignment in Leo, and we may be looking to drum up support from others and find motivation within ourselves to accomplish our goals. However, we might struggle with a concurrent desire to be more aboveboard or direct instead of strategic.

Later today, we head toward a Venus-Mars sextile, which supports flow and ease in close personal interactions without sacrificing engagement. We can make connections that prove fruitful and fortunate, and business relationships and pursuits can prosper.

However, because Venus is still retrograde until the 13th, it’s best to wait to formalize any new ventures. Fortunately, we’re likely to find creative, even inventive, channels for connecting with our feelings.

The Moon is void from 6:26 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Sagittarius the next day, Tuesday, November 10th, at 3:36 AM EST.
