Intensity rises with the New Moon in fixed sign Scorpio. A New Moon is about turning a new leaf, planning for new growth & cultivation in a certain area of life. Scorpio is emotionally deep, reserved & transformational. You can start to set intentions born from your raw desires or closely connected to you emotionally. On a romantic level this could be about focusing your wishes on finding a deep connection. It could be about creating material wealth or finding work that more in touch with deeper self. You could also start to transform new thought patterns, how you see things.
Uranus in Taurus will be involved with the New Moon Rising, as the two make an exact opposition. The theme can be about sudden upsets & discomforts between personal & shared wealth, inner & physical world or self-reliance vs intimacy, as well as stability & changes. Uranus is the wild card of the cosmos, likely pulling the rug from under in these areas of life.
The Sun, the Moon, Mercury & Venus are all in Scorpio. With our ego on the line, emotions stirred, things can get sensitive & raw. The words we spit can now come rising into a volcanic eruption. A reactionary response & chaos is likely. With the energy in fixed signs, reaching a compromise can be difficult.
This is the few times that Mars can be praised in Libra. Though it is not in the most favourable position, we need Scorpios ruling planet to temper the caustic energy around this New Moon. A chance for cool detachment & refined action. We can always tap into the higher vibrations of Scorpio energy, keeping in mind its transformational & penetrative powers to find a desired solution, one that may just land us on our feet.
