Acknowledge it’s all yours, and forgive yourself for it all
with gratitude for the experiences.
(don’t worry about the astro-jargon – go for the gist)
Scorpio – spirit in the depths
. Scorpio follows Libra as night follows day, as sleep follows wakefulness – except that the new moon wakes us up to the night of our consciousness, that which is usually unconscious. We do have occasional dreams: nightmares or inspirational guidance. Perhaps which they are depends on our interpretation of them in the light of day. Everything is here to teach us who we are, by revealing our Light or by showing us how we obscure it from ourselves.
Live it, and then move on without it
. This month, then, is about facing up to whatever arises from our past, and most importantly not judging ourselves or anyone else in the present moment for what is no longer active in us. Understanding is what matters, understanding how the past came to be that way as part our unfolding life. Any emotions that arise in us – embarrassment, pain, anger, resentment – we need to allow through whether we understand them or not, so that they can simply sink into their own night, composting to support new growth in time. What is called for from us is tolerance, a strength that enables us to accept and forgive anything that arises. Only through acceptance do we find compassion for the nature of human life in this earthly world. As the shades of our mis-interpreted past fall away, the wonderful beauty of this worldly experience is revealed as spirit’s material expression.
. The situations that are on the table probably whisked up last month. Now we get to deal with them as kindly as possible without compromising our soul path (South Node with Jupiter in Leo, opposite North Node in Aquarius). Venus is showing us the area of life mostly likely in the frame – our relationships, and our style and purpose in relating in particular (Venus retrograde in Libra until 12 November).
To speak or not? or how to speak!
. By the Full Moon on 24 November, Mercury and Venus are moving forward again (direct motion). Venus is still in Libra slowly gathering speed for another bout of truth and owning-up, through Scorpio from 3 December 26 until 7 January 27. In this chart Mercury makes no major aspects to major planets, that is: our mental energy researching beneath the blocks of general information for more truth, but not necessarily speaking it out (Moon conjunct Uranus with Sun opposite in Sagittarius).
. This tug-of-war between keeping quiet while listening, and the impulse to blurt out from the heart, is all about the actual changes that ARE HAPPENING NOW, and the changes that we wish to see – the transformation that would seem to be possible if only the authorities would comply with ‘the people’ (Sun and Moon are lined up with the Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune/Saturn). The sticking point could be the determination to have everything happen happily, positively, when in fact there’s still too much beneath the surface in most of us to allow the most positive to be our reflection in the world (Sun and Moon also squaring South Node/Jupiter/Mars in Leo). Our truth needs to be told even if it ‘offends’ or ‘hurts’. So it’s not a matter of ‘should this be said’ but rather ‘how should this be said?’.
. . . here’s a thought . . .
. Maybe this month is about learning how to speak our truth, to be real and clear and open, in the kindest way we can. I think this is a lesson for humanity as a whole, and in person – moving seamlessly from Leo (South Node) to Aquarius (North Node). We need to use the best of Leo to humanise Aquarius. I’m going for small steps, while endeavouring to keep my heart open! 😀

Contemplation for this New Moon in Scorpio
Turn the stone and release the butterfly or frog
turn your mind to your pain-without-reason
and let your pain flow in tears and sound without
When you let your leaves fall to the ground,
you will soon awaken to a new morning
with light and warmth and distant laughter
Smile into the fading night, and join those near to you
to watch the Sun rise over your battery of excuses
bright, recognisable as all love, loving all
And love it all for a moment before you bend your focus
back into your unfolding day.
With love.
