Moonshine Horoscopes -- Scorpio New Moon Edition

Dear Friend & Reader:

Sunday (Nov. 3) is the Scorpio New Moon and solar eclipse, exact at 7:50 am EST. (View full chart here; second chart) Genevieve Hathaway has interpreted this lunation for each of the 12 Moon signs in her horoscopes below.

The conjunction of the Sun and Moon (the New Moon eclipse) is flanked on either side by Mercury (still retrograde) and Saturn. It’s all clustered near the lunar North Node, a calculated point that indicates that this eclipse is happening. And it looks intense.

North Node eclipses are associated with dharma, sometimes described as the soul’s path that we’re each on Earth to activate. It’s a more challenging path than simply sticking with what is familiar and comfortable. North Node eclipses give us a portal to new, unfamiliar ground -- and that can invoke fear, especially if we try to cling to what is no longer serving us.

Mercury and Saturn so close to the Sun and Moon contain a caution against getting too caught up in fear-based secretiveness, isolation or the idea of ‘limitation’. Scorpio Moons can be brooding and dark; but Mercury is also offering a more conscious awareness of how emotions and thoughts influence each other. Saturn provides the stamina to work through your feelings once you’ve acknowledged them. Feelings deserve space in which to be felt fully and used constructively for deeper understanding -- but they don’t need to run the show.

Making an exact sextile to this Scorpio grouping is Mars in Virgo. Sextiles are helpful aspects, but they ask us to make some effort to access that assistance. Mars is offering very practical, hands-on, specific energy and willpower in harmony with your consciousness, sub-consciousness, reason and powers of judgment. To have will and drive harmonized with all these levels of awareness is incredibly useful, but you do have to use it deliberately though your actions.

Taking clear, precise steps toward your goals (whether regarding sex, resources including but not limited to money, and deep inner transformation) is the idea. Keep moving with it. If you’re propelling yourself with intention into the depths of Scorpio, you’ll be able to use the momentum to resurface. It’s not the same as swirling in an eddy or sinking; ‘intention’ implies a vision, and desire to grow.

To read Genevieve's horoscopes, it helps to know your Moon sign (where the Moon was at the moment of your birth), which you can find out by entering your birth data into Serennu.com. If you know your birth time, that will ensure accuracy -- but often you can still be sure of its sign even if the exact degree is fuzzy. You can also read these horoscopes for your Sun and rising signs for additional insight.

Yours & truly,

Scorpio New Moon Moonshine Horoscopes | By Genevieve Hathaway

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- This week's Scorpio solar eclipse is bringing you into contact with your own personal power to heal emotional pain. You've been working and re-working an inner wound for some time, and it may have seemed like you kept coming back to the same point. What you were doing was moving through all the layers of fear and guilt to connect with the heart of the matter. As the energy ramps up over the eclipse, it may feel like there is a building tension inside of you -- similar to a screw being turned tighter and tighter, pushing for honesty with yourself regarding what you are healing. Move with this energy; as you are truthful about the influence of other people on you and how it has contributed to this wound, notice how the feelings inside of you shift. You are establishing new patterns for healing emotionally. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- With one eclipse almost two weeks ago and another eclipse this week, it may seem as though life has accelerated to warp speed. A relationship dynamic is changing quickly. You have a few options available, though they may feel more like risks -- as though they require daring and boldness. I suggest instead of viewing these situations as risky, which implies there is something to lose, take the longer view that these are opportunities to learn about yourself and those involved. What you are challenging is old internal programming that told you how relationships ‘should’ be structured. You are in a moment of breaking through those barriers, and embracing an openness about your relationships that allows for dynamics and structures based on who you and partners are as individuals -- complete with unique needs, wants and desires. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Recently, it may have felt like your mind has its own agenda. As a small child, you adopted many negative thought processes, or scripts, from authority figures around you. Those mental programs are the voices in your head that have messages of doubt, fear or lack of worth. Lately, you have been able to observe what transpires in your mental space with more objectivity. This week's powerful eclipse in Scorpio is calling you to claim authority over your thoughts and get rid of those adopted negative scripts. I suggest starting with recognizing a thought as one of these scripts or programs, and then applying precision and focus on a daily basis to insert new thought patterns. Try viewing this process as an opportunity to make your mind work for you -- all the time. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- I propose a question: What is your relationship to your creativity? Do you set aside time, regularly, to nurture and tend it? If it has felt recently like you've run into more blocks than actual access to your creative potential, I suggest not worrying about it. What is being brought up for your review are any doubts you've carried regarding how creative you are. Currently, you have a lot of energy at your disposal to blast apart these blockages. Like throwing a stick of dynamite against a wall, you'll be able to remove the barrier with little effort. And once those structures have been leveled, what will be left is an infinite well of creativity that you'll always have access to. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- The solar eclipse taking place this week in Scorpio is highlighting the area of your chart that has to do with your sense of emotional security. I suggest paying close attention to what you learn this week; you are gaining important information on the cause of any feelings of insecurity or lack of solidity about who you are. By challenging emotional insecurities, you are further expanding out into your own life. Remember, you have a right to existence and to feel safe and secure in who you are. What you are reclaiming is something that is innately yours, but may have felt intangible because someone at a point in your life ingrained the idea into your psyche. As you move through this process, I suggest holding space for those around you to also strengthen their own emotional security. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- For a while, it may have felt like you've been having the same conversations over and over without any sign of tangible progress. I suggest you persist with those discussions. Over the solar eclipse, information is shaking loose. Pay close attention to what others involved say and also what they omit or don't say. Both will provide you with plenty of useful information to bring about the progress you seek. You are in a moment of making some positive changes regarding a few important negotiations, as though you turned a corner you never thought you would reach. The landscape surrounding these situations and the relationship dynamics with these parties is changing quickly, bringing you a reevaluation of how to proceed. Take time to check and double-check what you learn. Proceed thoughtfully, giving yourself time to fully grasp the scope of the new information you are gaining. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Think of your self-esteem as a big block of ice, something you could hold, but couldn't get in or surround yourself with. The eclipse is like an intense fire rapidly melting that ice in a bathtub. After the ice melts, you can sink deep into that water, letting it envelop you. This gives you a new way to interact with your self-esteem and a new way to exist in it, which is what the Scorpio eclipse will bring you into contact with. Like that water in the bathtub, this new avenue or mode of sensing yourself will be easier to shift into. As you take those steps to try out the new ideas emerging from deep in your internal space, what you are gaining is a form of self-esteem that is more in balance with your deeper sense of who you are. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- The solar eclipse this week takes place in your Moon sign, bringing a burst of energy to your emotional framework. This may seem like going from lighting a room with a candle to lighting a room with a massively powerful generator and a thousand light bulbs. You'll be able to see every nook, cranny and crack. As you re-examine your inner space, go to work on all those crevices, dents and cracks. Follow your intuition as you work. If you feel the need to take out a wall and open the space up, do so. As you update your emotional space, do as many revisions and renovations as needed until you feel at home in the space. What you are building is an updated version of your emotional patterns that fits who you are authentically at this moment in your life. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- During this week's eclipse in Scorpio, your 12th house may feel more like a packed conference room than a hidden realm. With a number of planets and minor planets moving through this area of your chart, the metaphorical conference room could get quite loud and boisterous. This may come with the feeling like there are a lot of competing voices and ideas going on inside of you. As you adjust your relationship to these different facets of yourself that are speaking up, how you communicate with your intuition will shift and adjust. What you are connecting with is how to refine and tune your collecting and processing of the information your intuition gives you. Ultimately, you are strengthening your connection with your psychic self, helping it communicate effectively with the emotional and mental aspects of yourself. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- As the eclipse takes place this week in Scorpio, I suggest considering how you make your plans and the steps you take to apply them. A particular goal may seem like it's been especially resistant to planning and execution. I propose it's not necessarily the goal that's the issue; rather you're being pushed to expand your approach. You have enough creativity and resources at your disposal to tackle even the most unconventional situation. At the moment, you are being pushed to apply those skills and resources. This may feel like it comes with a stretch, though instead of reaching for what you want, build a bridge to it through designing plans and putting them into action. As you practice this technique, notice how many larger and more complex goals you can now reach. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- As an Aquarius Moon, you don't like limitations. In fact, you are generally happier to ignore them or hop over them without breaking stride. For a while you've been holding a vision for your career. Over this week's solar eclipse in Scorpio, you are in a moment where what you imagine and the vision you hold for your career is even more important. As you work putting this vision into practice it is important to know what you can give and what you can't give; in other words, where your limitations and boundaries lie. I suggest taking a new approach to the idea of limits -- instead of something that restricts you, consider them a useful source of information to provide further clarity. What is on offer is the opportunity to apply this knowledge to help you shape and define the vision you hold for your career. -- by Genevieve Hathaway

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Recently, you've been reevaluating a few important ideas regarding your belief system. Questioning what you believe and why may come with the sensation that what you are doing is very precarious -- like the delicate web that holds your life together was one cut or break away from completely unraveling. Challenging and questioning what you believe and why has been a deep process that has taken you through layer after layer of your psyche. This week's eclipse is shooting you out the other side of this process. Like exiting a wormhole, you may find yourself very rapidly in a new place in terms of the structures of what you believe. I suggest taking some time to explore this new foundation you've built, especially the areas where you feel a sense of belonging. This is a sign that what you've created grew from your deepest authentic self. -- by Genevieve Hathaway
