Emotional intelligence is your superpower for this new moon. Your intuition is on overdrive, magnetizing you to intense people and experiences. Scorpio rules sex, money, death, and power. Topics that are taboo to talk about but exert incredible influence over how we conduct our lives and the decisions we make. Especially when it comes to transformation and change, which you are acutely aware of currently. Use your powers of emotional intelligence to communicate truthfully from deep in your being to connect with others you trust to be appropriate witnesses for your desires and drives.
There is something that you’ve been working on for a long time or has been at play for a while that is reaching a point of synthesis and integration. While you aren’t finished yet, the end is in sight. You had support and nurturing to get to this point; connect with those people who have believed in you and understood your vision even when it was a small seed. Now that you are experiencing a culminating moment, let the free-flowing emotional expression in the air help you to respond to your inner states of consciousness in a way that uplifts and inspires.
In your relationships, you have an opportunity to heal any areas where you feel unworthy or unloveable. Of course, this first starts with upgrading the feelings and thoughts you direct towards yourself. By improving this just a little bit, be amazed at how your relationships become a deeper well of emotional sustenance and connection.
Mars opposes Pluto (exact on 11.3), its last major aspect before heading retrograde on 12.6. This sets the tone and stage for the many months of its influence (through to April 2025). The intensity during this period will wax and wane, depending on aspects with the outer planets and also where Leo/Cancer falls in your chart. With this aspect, you dig deep, especially in your relationships. If there are patterns of power and control that are causing issues, you will need to get down to the bottom of them in the coming months. The good news is that you will have some fortitude to finish something big that you probably started a while ago. There is a driven intensity to Mars opposed Pluto which is starting to be redirected inward. Stay on top of your practices to reduce excess energy and stress. Mysterious injuries and illnessnesses often come up during Mars retrograde. Sometimes that’s simply unavoidable, however, heed any signals from your body to slow down and move at a more sustainable pace. If something is canceled or delayed, don’t automatically jump to fill in the white space. Let there be time, reflection, and contemplation. It’s likely your actions are not producing the results you want. Don’t keep pushing forward with the same approach. This new moon gives you access to intuition and insight to correct your course in the coming months.
Intentions: I am a deep well of insight and resilience. I pay attention and honor the emotional truths emerging for me. My relationship with myself and others is a source of emotional sustenance and connection.
