How this New Moon in Scorpio is impacting you ? …

Aries & Aries Rising: As you start fresh with a healing journey, financial hiccups may require more immediate attention. Try to lower the volume on survival mode. Also remain open to unorthodox forms of therapy or grief work: you might be surprised by the treasure strewn outside your comfort bunker.

Taurus & Taurus Rising: The New Moon may find you bursting from all manner of relational pigeon holes. You experience the time-lag of the ‘you’ that is emergent, while your besties and beloveds still cling to the older model. Approach this disconnect with humor. Heed your body’s wisdom as your voltage dials up.

Gemini & Gemini Rising: The New Moon greenlights an invigorating side-hustle. You may need to improvise at a more volatile pace this week, so keep a tool kit of grounding rituals at the ready. Be vigilant around escape valves. Breathe through the time-crunches.

Cancer & Cancer Rising: As cupid’s bow string zings within your clubs, covens, and collectives, friend-dates flood your dance-card. Trust the delights that jolt your senses into technicolor. RSVP ~everything~ (with a chaise to flop down on in-between). Leave them wanting more and exit fashionably early.

Leo & Leo Rising: The New Moon may have you squirming against the confines of your home. What if we knocked down this wall and made an en-suite? Try to dig a bit deeper, and see whether or not an outdated childhood script needs composting.

Virgo & Virgo Rising: This Scorpio New Moon, the mind light bulbs flash faster than your fingers can process. Get your ideas down, then let them rest. With the ambient high voltage, a long walk may help you ground these transmissions. Remember that the work off the page is equally sacred.

Libra & Libra Rising: The New Moon reinvigorates your personal income streams, while entanglements with lending agencies experience turbulence. Perhaps this upheaval will open the gates to greater financial autonomy. What do you stow in your symbolic sarcophagus? If it doesn’t crackle with joy, it’s deadweight.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising: This New Moon, you’re ready for your close-up, but somebody keeps chucking apples into the after-party. Try to remember that there’s no growth without others’ hackles raised. You, if anybody, can bask in this controversy. Their take-down is your spring-board.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising: This Scorpio New Moon reminds you that sleep is the wellspring of your mind-trotting and most intrepid seeking. In fact, your body may demand rest this week under no uncertain terms. Let it. Frame this retreat as inner cartography. Your duvet is the threshold into unexplored soul-depths.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising: The New Moon opens the gates to a collaborative creative endeavor, but you might struggle to ground your breakthroughs within the quagmire of group demands. Without diluting your voice, absorb the shockwaves from your audience. Great art flowers from the individual to the collective.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising: As Luna renews itself in Scorpio, you scan the horizon for the next vocational ridge to ascend. Upheavals at base camp, however, may have you on uncertain ground. Trust that you will find shelter along the way. Keep your ropes looped around a chosen family member in the meantime.

Pisces & Pisces Rising: The New Moon in Scorpio has you sowing new research questions and crossing the threshold of unknowing. As a wisdom tradition blows the lid off more mundane facts of life, try not to neglect your daily practices. Your runes and meditations can ground these revelations back into the earth.
