Themes: Mystery: Shadow-Work: Purpose
Magick and opportunity abound at the new moon in Scorpio on the 20th of November. In the middle of supermoon season, this new moon may well bring the phase of wonder we have been waiting for.
Scorpio rules the 8th House. It governs the unknown, the depths of the psyche, the meaning of life, the mystical, philosophy and rebirth. Its magick takes us beyond the mundane to question and explore purpose and meaning.
This new moon brings the opportunity to connect with purpose through a better understanding of self. This is the first step to change.
The ancient philosopher, Socrates said, ‘Know yourself.’ In the Sumerian myth of Inanna, the goddess found her true self when she met her darker aspect in the Underworld and the Greek goddess, Persephone elevated herself from spring maiden to Queen of the Underworld when she ate the forbidden pomegranate.
To transform, we need to meet our shadow. The shadow is what we hide from ourselves. It is a part of the subconscious where fear, prejudice, hurt and disconnection reside. To understand ourselves we need to explore our behaviour and take full responsibility. The journey of self-knowledge is never-ending but also compelling in its mystery.
Begin exploring the shadow by observing your thoughts, noting patterns and feelings that deplete. Contemplate ways to change and analyse your pain. It can be hard doing this alone, if so, seek a counsellor, reader or spiritual guide however the change needs to start with you.
Be assured there will be energetic assistance with the new moon trine with Jupiter, Neptune and Saturn. This will bring optimism, expansive thinking, mysticism and a practical approach.
Under the shadow of the moon venture into the psyche by casting spells, interpreting dreams, reading the cards and becoming bewitched by mystery.
