I remember last year as I was looking at the astrological calendar for 2018, there was a week that really caught my attention. It featured two planets shifting signs, the Lunar Nodes moving into a new sign pair, and a New Moon. I was struck by this week given that it seemed like there was a lot of movement, a lot of shifting energy, and changing of the guard in the cosmic weather. 

New Moons signify a time for beginnings. When this celestial event occurs in Scorpio what we can initiate are the ways in which we can connect more deeply to our essential nature, finding the inherent resources that may reside in the inner sanctum of our hearts and minds. Scorpio represents that which is hidden, the unseen, the things that are kept in the dark, including our deepest emotions. When you say or feel “I don’t want to go there” what you are likely alluding to is often at least partially the realm of Scorpio.

In the latest episode of our So Divine! podcast, Megan Skinner and I explore the astrological landscape for the month. We begin by focusing in on the week of the Scorpio New Moon when we also experience a pile-up of planetary shifts—including the Lunar Nodes, Uranus, and Jupiter moving into new signs.

Big ideas. Strong voices. Far-reaching messages.

With communicative Mercury uniting with expansive Jupiter on Monday, these may be some of the themes we see as the week begins.

Happy Birthday, Scorpio!
