Scorpio New Moon-Shadows black and white

Shadows black and white

The hiding child image called to me at this New Moon in Scorpio. As a child I kept a lot of secrets, liked to hide in closets and under bushes in the yard. I'd create secret places where no one could see or find me. Shape shifting.

I am the One who hides
although you see
me
I am still afraid
to come out
To be seen
with my jewels.

Look for ways
to keep me safe.

Even as an adult today the drive to 'disappear' is with me, especially now moving to a new town that is very conservative politically- it's such a Saturn place...I feel the old ways surfacing and a need to test the waters with new people I meet. Can I share who I am and what I am about...will you accept me? Hear me, see me?

And after 52 years of living there is a jewel of understanding (in the soulcollage card the woman is holding a very large diamond).

The energies of this New Moon in Scorpio strongly influence those areas of your life where you are keeping secrets (or have kept secrets)- your issues with Power, being power-full. Then too we are faced with a large group of children born with Pluto in Scorpio, rocking the vote, shaking up the status quo. Are we having fun yet?

• Where have you compromised truth for the sake of self or another in your life?
• How has that trauma/drama been reactivated in recent weeks?

Living Juicy, being a wildly creative person forces one to step into their power. And this transformation doesn't happen in a vacuum, we bring that new found self and her creative gifts to all of our relationships (Libra).

In sharing the Gift we always meet the forces of change that Scorpio offers. How okay am I being me? How do I want to hide and not share? Truth telling. Scorpio's element is that murky polluted water of psychic trauma you experienced in the past that must be brought to the light for healing. Unconscious to conscious your emotional waters go from murky to clean.

Murky to quirky- all artists and creative people are ahead of the pack and considered quirky. A Scorpio New Moon shows us how comfortable we are with our quirkiness and being seen, telling our truth.

When we create something new, evoke change to the status quo (Saturn rules old forms and structures), there is alway a fight/flight within or another urging us to stay the same. How you slay that fight/flight dragon is the dance Scorpio offers up. "We rise by kneeling" by surrendering to a soul force greater than ourselves- it's the place of transformation where the 12th step process is born.

FORCE of Change

Scorpio new moons demand a letting go of something and the energy of this lunar cycle activates our deepest fears- collectively with the election and unconsciously within. The Scorpio energies are ruled by Mars [anger], Chiron [inner healer] and Pluto [transformation].

Chiron in Aquarius came out of retrograde (May 26-Oct 24) and is now moving forward again. This retrograde period may have highlighted your original wound, the gifts and the demons of the psychic trauma- how you make peace with the black and white shadows in your life. In Aquarius we are called to be of service, to bring forth a creative soul gift for Humanity.

Are you born between February 1955- February 1961? Then you are born with Chiron in Aquarius. You are or will be experiencing your Chiron Return at age 49/50.

CHIRON IN AQUARIUS: You may feel insecure within groups. You may also be sensitive to the wounds of humanity. It may be that you have suffered through friendships. You will have the ability to join groups with a cause, particularly those that heal humanity or teach spiritual ideals.

Saturn in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces are opposing each other. Saturn stands for something while Uranus challenges the status quo. In your chart you'll want to look at which houses each Saturn/Uranus energy is moving through. Saturn is moving through my tenth house, Uranus my 4th house, so of course I move my home (4th house) that creates change to the status quo of the 10th house (my public persona). No hiding allowed. *smile*

It's a time of deep transformation where changing is more important than staying the same. So at this new moon in Scorpio, on the eve of elections in the United States there is this friction of change in the air. The old ways of the past (Saturn) are struggling to stay the same, the new ways (Uranus) challenge the established viewpoints.

What I see around me is also occurring within me, and thus the need to go into the dark, to find that safe place is with me.

The key-to remember and come back out of hiding by gathering and embodying all the Light I can muster. It's time to transmute and transform- to color a seeming dark world by sharing yours, mine and our creative gifts will shape shifts the energies.

You too have something of value(Taurus), but first find that creative spark (Leo), let go of what no longer works (Scorpio), and then move boldly into service (Aquarius). That is the gift of a Scorpio rising and what this New Moon in Scorpio offers up to each of us at this lunation.

I am the One who stands
upside down
when no one else
is around.

Even in the gloom
I shine bright
to inspire others
to play and create
even through the strife.

Bringing color to the dark places.
