I see a Bad (er New) Moon Rising (in Scorpio)

   

Bad Moon Rising

I see a bad moon rising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.

Don't go around tonight,
Well it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes a blowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Well don't go around tonight,
Well it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Well don't go around tonight,
Well it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

Don't come around tonight,
Well it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

The New Moon on Saturday Nov 18th is in the sexy sultry sign of Scorpio.  Some think of Scorpio  as a 'bad' sign - yet it  actually represents the very thing keeps the human race from going extinct - i.e. sex! Why is it that something so beautiful and natural and enjoyable is so fraught with taboo and shame and repression? I am not even going to try to go into that one - but its an example of the power and fear that can surround  Scorpio, because it deals with those things that obsess and entangle us.


As soon as Jupiter moved into Scorpio a few weeks ago the sexual shit really hit the fan. Jupiter expands what it touches- and is about truth and justice and fairness. As so many women rise up and speak their truth about sexual abuse- harassment etc  - it is shaking things up - a LOT. Jupiter is BIG.

Scorpion is also associated with death. Oops. Another taboo subject that we avoid like the plague - (no pun intended)!  We push our old and inform away into institutions - we pretty up our funerals - even to the ridiculous point of covering the dirt with fake green carpet lol ,  or putting make up on a dead body to make it look nice,  or just hiding it away in a box so we don't have to look.



Yup - Good ol' Scorpio!
 
The third part of this intense sign has to do with shared resources.  Scorpio rules bonding,  joining, sharing – not just in terms of sexual union -  but also financial partnerships/inheritances/taxes.  
 
 No wonder we are a little bit scared of this sign.
 

Scorpio is intense.  We are attracted and repelled at the same time - because it reveals our shadows and buried secrets and contains what we sometimes prefer to avoid. 

Ironically - this dark mysterious sign also represents the self renewing, energizing force of life itself.
 A New Moon represents a new start - which in Scorpio means shedding a skin (or two or three). Be prepared to let go - yet again-  of something or someone - some habit-  or belief - or stuck place - to make a little bit more room for  the real you.


If you can find a ritual way to do this - set and state your intentions - write them or sing them (Ive been watching 'The Voice' and very  inspired to sing sing sing lalala ) - release them into a flame or some water  (the ocean, a river, the toilet ). Use this time to reflect on the year (what a year!) and see what it is that has been holding you back. This is a time to be brutally honest with yourself. Not only will you save others from doing that for you - you will  release yourself the heavy task of denying and avoiding all those parts you've been avoiding - you know - those parts you  think make you unlovable. And who knows - maybe once you've done a  moral inventory (honest and fearless look at yourself) - you will discover there is more good than bad. 

Cause there is!


I will sign off now - be back in next day or so with more details about the New Moon in Scorpio Till then - we are entering  the dark of the Moon (Moon blocked by Sun)phase -  time to pause - breathe in- take stock - before we begin anew-  yet again.
