On October 27, 2019, the Moon will begin a new four-week lunar cycle in Scorpio. This lunation will affect those with planets at or near 4° Scorpio, Libra, and Taurus.

At 11:38 PM EST, the moon will completely turn it’s back to us, signifying a time of conception and darkness. No matter who you are, where you have been, or how many lives you have lived, we all must sit humbly with our shadow. Many will feel like we are falling into the abyss, and in some ways, we are. But it’s still important that we let go, it’s still important that we give in, we have to be okay with both.

Saturn in Capricorn pushes this concept of independence even further, especially when it squares off with Mars in Libra. Passive aggressive behavior may come up, and power struggles between partners intensify. But what doesn’t break us builds us — and this New Moon is doing a lot of building.

Mental health is a also crucial aspect of this transit, and sadly a lot of this comes from the trauma we experience as children. With Uranus retrograde in Taurus directly opposing both the Sun and Moon in Scorpio, it’s time to update our programming. Traditionalists may struggle with this transit as erratic Uranus is uncomfortable in conservative Taurus. Don’t give up.

Ask yourself:

What is really important to me?

What am I carrying?

What am I clinging to?

What do I need to let go of?

Where do I get my power from?

You may not have the answers now. The waxing crescent phase (one to two days after the new moon) is the best time to receive the answers that you sent into the universe during the New Moon. Be patient.
