When the Moon is new in Scorpio the Sun is also in Scorpio. The date this year (2011) is October 26th, 3:56 pm (edt). It's Lunar Samhain, the potent dark of the Moon for rituals and magic.
The New Moon is a time to retreat from outer goings on and busyness, and go within for renewal. It's a fertile time to set your intentions, that grow with the lunar light up to the Full Moon.
New Moon in Scorpio themes:
- personal power
- soul searching
- metamorphoses
- purging toxins
- transforming inner stagnation
- getting to the heart of your passions
- emotional vampirism (draining)
- courage to face the shadow
It's a Good Time to: purge old stuff and recycle; flush your body system with a detox or colonic; participate in shamanic healing or rituals; release what's keeping you from your goals; surrender to the alchemy of the dark; get to the root of shadow feelings like rage, jealousy, obsession; show tough love in a situation that calls for it; make the hard decision to let go; commit to your own passions; love deeply and fully; dive into a mystery; extract poisons in the body, mind or spirit; plant seeds for what you'd like to bring in over winter.
