On November 13th, the new moon in Scorpio
arrives.
The dark season is well and truly upon us, and as the new moon in Scorpio rises up to graze the stars, things may be feeling more tender than usual. Deep and magical Scorpio urges us not to look away from our more difficult feelings at this time, but
instead, to go deeper, and really sink our teeth into the heart of the issue. What's needling at your soul right now, babe? How might that hurt transform into bliss, were you to truly own the discomfort of feeling?
Scorpio's name is taken from the very same
animal that represents this perceptive sign—the scorpion. The scorpion's hooked tail curls over its body, at once defensive and offensive, while two massive pincers guard two large, vulnerable eyes. Scorpio, like Aquarius, is a visionary of sorts, but unlike free-flowing Aquarius, Scorpio knows to guard their heart well. On this new moon, you would do well to meditate on your own defense mechanisms, and whether or not they're serving you. Wise Scorpio knows how to ward off emotional threats, but
they also know when to drop their guard and let themselves be seen as they truly are.
Don't shy away from the intensity of this new moon—instead, lean into it, and embrace your desires and fears with your heart wide open. Whatever you
do, tend to yourself with patience this lunation, babe. Move slowly, and with sincerity.
November 27th marks the full moon in Gemini.
Gemini, the third sign in the zodiac, is represented by the Twins. Mirror images of one another, the Twins move and feel as one. Today, the Gemini full moon is urging you to let your emotional body move freely—embrace your duality and utilize it to widen your vision. Get curious about your internal world, and invite paradoxes with grace. Your mind might feel full during this lunation, and
no wonder; Gemini rules the intellect.
At its fullest, this Gemini will push your wit to its limits. If you find yourself overwhelmed, speak your discomfort aloud. Gemini rewards honest communication above all else. This full moon is the ideal time to work
word magic in all its forms. Write a poem and tie it to a tree, read a letter of intention at your altar, or sing to your houseplants.
Under the light of a Gemini full moon, the dual nature of things becomes readily apparent. If the abundance of
opposites feels uncomfortable for you at this time, have no fear babe. Reckon with multiplicity at your own pace. Gemini is the eternal student, forever committed to broadening the mind—the Gemini full moon asks only that we begin to sit with our contradictions, not that we solve them all. There's time for all of it. Bask in whatever sparks your curiosity; the rest can wait.
