New Moon: October 27

Moon Cycle: October 27-November 25

Keywords: Change, erratic behaviour, impulsiveness, edginess, restlessness, impatience, unexpected movements

Ok Whoa, What’s Going On?

This new moon falls in Scorpio, the ruler of the 8th house in astrology, governing matters around sex, real estate, money (yours and others), investments, secrets and scandals, death and so forth. In addition to that, this new moon falls opposite Uranus signalling a need to prep ourselves for spontaneous change and the potential of chaos. This alignment lends an earthly energy of anxiety and impulsiveness. You may view others acting abruptly or irrationally. Behaviours and situations may, in fact, get carried away.

It’s That Elbows Out Kinda Vibe 

There’s quotas to meet, deals to be made and people are getting testy. Almost everyone is out to hit their targets and goals this new moon and most don’t care who they have to step on to get ahead. Expect rude exchanges on the subway, seemingly irrational bosses or clients and situations that don’t really make much sense. People will have a tendency to act abruptly and on impulse. Relationships, both personal and professional could feel the strain.

Anything Good, Though?

Always. We can take this time of sudden change and transformation to observe situations from a place of awareness. Simply by reading this, you are one step ahead to ensuring that situations don’t get out of hand. Understand that this could be a challenging period with work, money, relationships (and sex) or even internally and personally. Whatever happens over the course of this new moon, you will likely be shifted and forced to adapt and transform into a new shape or understanding of a role you are currently playing. This forced transformation will give us a new perspective on our current worlds, places and lives.

Expect the Unexpected and Embrace It

No amount of wishing and fighting will stop change if it’s already propelling towards you. So embrace it and take it as an opportunity to uproot and flow with the new opportunities and positioning that is being presented to you. Take time to assess your advantages in all different scenarios. If change is coming, then you may as well get comfortable with it, so do it on your own terms.

All in all, hang in there, hold your ground, ride the waves, feel your feelings and know that it is all truly a game we came down on Earth to play. You are more than ok.

Moon Cycle: November 7th – December 5th 

Full Moon: November 22nd

Keywords: Forgiveness, Transformation, Healing, Empathy, Spiritual Closeness, Manifestation, Compassion

The past moon cycle may have left you feeling slightly exposed and raw in the heart. Emotions were coursing through our spirits this past month, with Venus Retrograde still rampant and the full moon in Taurus unleashing our ego. It is entirely possible that we may have had our backs up, and tensions flared in our closest relationships, including our relationship with self. If you felt slightly out of alignment these past few weeks and had trouble finding your centre, rest assured that the new moon in Scorpio brings with it a compassionate energy that will bring relief and healing to the wounds we allowed to come to the surface this past moon.

Forgive Others, Forgive Yourself

One of the major ways we can embrace healing is through the act of forgiveness. What tensions were stirred within our closest relationships this past moon? Most importantly, what occurred during the past month that may have challenged our relationship with self? This new moon in Scorpio brings with it a compassionate energy that we can leverage to soothe and nourish our raw wounds, allowing us to extend forgiveness to those who may have done us wrong, while also allowing forgiveness to heal our own relationship with self.

This new moon, it will be important to embrace our love of self, as well as conduct strong acts of self-care and self-love. If we can nourish our most valuable resources (our inner being and our bodies) we are rightly prepared for the positive and strong transformations that this new moon can bring.

Manifesting and Transformation

The new moon in Scorpio will be an opportune time to manifest the goals and dreams we have long had in heart. This moon cycle brings with it a strong energy of transformation, that we can leverage to our benefit, with love and grace. Make sure to strongly dictate your intentions this new moon, while evaluating in your life what it is you would like to transform. Ask yourself if you are ready to become a newer version of yourself, and if you are open to what this new role will mean for you. Further to, the manifestation energy of this new moon is strong, however, we may need to revert back to the theme of forgiveness before we are able to embrace our next level of abundance. Stay true to yourself and see where you need to extend forgiveness in your life, or where you need to ask for it. Be humble, and more forward once forgiveness is granted.

Compassion and Grace

Above all, this new moon is optimal for compassion and charity. You may find your empathy to be strong. Remember that there is nothing wrong with filling your own cup before tending to the needs of others. Put your goals, dreams and health first, then move on to care for those around you from a place of complete abundance.
