Okay, so, the New Moon is on my Neptune, so forgive me if I space out and miss the point entirely, but here goes. It’s exact at 24+ Scorpio at 19:14 UT. I wrote a little program to show local time zone equivalents which is here.
The Moon has its Fall in Scorpio. Traditionally a planet in its Fall would be considered to feel a bit “fucked up and far from home” in that sign, it’s the place where it’s least comfortable, and so where it can become insecure, defensive, frightened. In Scorpio, the style of dealing with this could well involve brooding, getting lost in the depths of emotion, analysing things to death, and perhaps deciding it’s safest to tear everything down and start again. These reactions are all about insecurity. This is definitely a time when “everything is a call for love,” however it may look.
The New Moon is exactly squaring Neptune in Aquarius, which therefore brings in Chiron and Jupiter which are still in conjunction with it. This is a reminder that, for the brave, all these deep feelings and reactions can have a spiritual/healing purpose. Scorpio is not afraid to feel its feelings, however scary they may seem, and Scorpio specialises in transmuting & transforming. Allowing yourself to feel things fully, watching without judgement, can result in them naturally passing through and healing; the only way round is through, what you resist persists etc. Gangaji offers an exercise for this, where you say “okay, despair, come.” It’s surprising.
This Moon also trines Uranus in Pisces (which is in mutual reception with Jupiter and Neptune in Aquarius), which again is an image of being deluged with water (emotion). Emotions are feelings in the body resulting from thoughts passing unbidden through the mind. They’re like weather.
We also have a mutual reception between the Sun in Scorpio and Mars in Leo, meaning this New Moon could also be viewed as a Moon-Mars conjunction in Scorpio. Feisty! My suggestion as usual is to be gentle with yourself and everyone else through this little storm, and to remember it will pass. Could well be a cathartic New Moon.
