Nov 14th New Moon in
Scorpio
Feeling a little disenchanted by the frivolous? You're not alone. This Scorpionic New Moon seems to clear more than the night sky - it clears our mind, as well. We're now asked to go inwards and explore the rolling hills and boundless planes of our thoughts, temporarily
bypassing the collective to find our individual voice- the one that speaks only to us. There is more than a chill to the air; there is a mystery. We're touched by the dark blue blanket of night and given a sudden infinity to curl up and rest within it. How might this time be best spent? What contemplations will surface? Like bubble from deep water, thoughts and awarenesses rise and rest on the surface before gently popping, returning once again to the vast void. This isn't a
moment to grapple at thoughts, or struggle to make sense of them. It is an open field of witnessing. In our thoughts we are able to express and experiment. here there is no shame or guilt. You are held by the protective embrace of the arcane Scorpion, reminded of your own power and ability to unfurl. On this New Moon, let your thoughts be untamed.
To honor the new moon, draw a full body bath or a foot soak for yourself, adding salts and herbs or your favorite soaking blend to support your bathing ritual. While the heat permeates your skin, feel your spirit drift into the unknown. Once you've left the tub, offer some time
to free write a few pages in your journal, answering the prompt: where am I? Where do I wish to be? How will I arrive there?

SCORPIO MORNING PAGES
Colin Bedell of "Little Bit of Astrology" states that the Universe's function for Scorpio is the embodiment of intimacy. As a fixed water sign Scorpio embodies an intense depth of connection - to self or to others - that can sometimes feel vulnerable or
scary. Scorpio energy allows us to witness our shadows or wounds, and embrace them with resilience and healing. Take time this moon cycle to connect with your emotions, whether they are deep, tranquil, fierce, or playful.
Journal Prompts:
