Scorpio New Moon 30th October 2016

Today, 30th October's New Moon is in Scorpio at 5.30pm London time. New Moons are generally considered a positive time for new ventures, setting new intentions and new opportunities. Although every day is a fresh day regardless of astrological influences. Scorpio is an intense, passionate, intuitive, sexual sign. It is not afraid to look deeply into the abyss nor is it afraid of change. The Death card in the Tarot is a card linked to Scorpio and Plutonic energy (as Pluto rules Scorpio) The Sun, Moon and Mercury are all in Scorpio at 7 degrees today. The Sun relates to the self, the Moon to emotions and habits and Mercury to thoughts and communication. So one interpretation could be that we may think of new ways to communicate and feel less fear to speak up or think about more deeper issues. Some people may find they feel a desire for a new chapter. Scorpio can be symbolised as the phoenix rising from the ashes. As Mercury is in challenging aspect to the South Node, this influence could mean we transform the way we think about the past, even if we feel it's negative. This Scorpio New Moon has a lovely Neptunian emphasis in trine with Mercury to Neptune. Therefore not only is it a good time for deep reflection but Neptune could assist new creative ideas, dreams or visions. Venus conjunct Saturn could help creative or artistic (Venus) ideas become concrete (Saturn.) Neptune a romantic, dreamy planet in trine to this Moon could heighten intuition and romanticism. So don't be surprised if new connections could have a 'soul mate' like feel. See how things are after a few weeks from now as to whether this is a new chapter or just a dreamy influence that passes.
