Astrology Forecast for the 2016 Scorpio New Moon
The
2016 Scorpio New Moon delivers a Halloween vibe that’ll outlast the
costumes, parties and stashes of candy. It is dark and mysterious, with
an edge of danger. This Scorpio New Moon is stirring specters and
demons, ghosts and other reminders of mortality, and non-rational
impulses with the power to overtake sensibility.
The veil is thin,
not just between life and death, but also between conscious and
subconscious. Each side is effortlessly tapping into the other just now,
and often sliding right across the border. Neptune the illusionist is
greasing the way with a direct feed to the 2016 Scorpio New Moon that
enhances the season’s otherworldly atmosphere.
He is blurring
edges, detail and reason, unhinging us from boring old everyday
existence, and shrouding everything in a fantastical glow. With this
tight Scorpio/Pisces combo, energetic connections have the power to
transcend time/space. You may dream of the dead and wake up feeling like
you had a conversation, and likely you did. Life may, at times. feel
like an ongoing costume party, at other times like your personal sci-fi
movie.
The 2016 Scorpio New Moon – Sensational Visuals
Whether
that film is horror or fantasy or rated MA will vary. Fears and phobias
are walking among us, in firmer, perhaps more threatening form than
usual, perhaps more distorted. Desires and raw sexuality are also on the
prowl, with a primal. compulsive force that defies closed doors.
(Inspirational image: Spock succumbing to feral passion when he returns
to his home planet for spawning season.)
When you feel any of
these rising within you — or see them surfacing in another’s behavior —
remember this: Being out in the open makes them easier to spot, and
easier to recognize for what they are.
The
2016 Scorpio New Moon delivers the tools to do just that. With Mercury
close by the New Moon, powers of perception are at our disposal
bordering on X-ray vision. Information and messages pass wordlessly,
with an unshakable knowing. Even people who claim to be not the least
bit psychic are likely to experience bouts of telepathy.
The Lunar Toolbox Says Trust Your Intuition
Trust
your gut, your instincts, your intuition, the still calm voice within
you (as opposed to the chatter-box). It is finely tuned and at peak
operating speed right now.
Also in this lunar toolbox: Willingness
to confront these demons on the hoof, with fearlessness on tap as if an
unseen hand is pumping an alleged natural power’s triple-action Spooks
Be Gone! spray. Whether we intentionally target them or not, this 2016
Scorpio New Moon is shining a light under the bed and into the closet,
dispelling the little men and other terrors from early childhood (as
well as of more recent provenance).
Relationships stand to improve
in honesty and depth of connection. That fearlessness, and those
aforementioned desires, have the power to plow down defenses and lead to
vulnerability, exposing our full beings before another, and moving into
great and tender intimacy, emotional as well as physical.
This
2016 Scorpio New Moon has a time-slowing, time-stopping edge to boot.
Life may feel more immediate, more in the moment, more intense and
focused. The “get down to business” impulse is still with us from the
mid-month meeting between Scorpio’s two rulers, Mars and Pluto.
Time of Astro-Clashing Resonance and Movement
Mars
is still ringing with the effects of his clash two days ago with
Uranus, cosmic agent of radical, unpredictable change. This has
liberated us in some pertinent way, perhaps from a pattern or way of
viewing life, perhaps from an agreement or circumstance. We are now able
to move more nimbly.
That movement promises to be both inward and
forward. You may find yourself in another round (or three) of clearing
gunk out of your head and your psyche, of confronting more of your own
personal demons and fears and defanging them, if not banishing them.
Every
bit of load-lightening and baggage removal frees up energy for pursuing
that down to business vibe — via sustained, deepened, streamlined,
thorough action, step by tiny step, on long-term goals, structures and
ways of being that have been undergoing fundamental revamping for years.
The
time is ripe. Circumstances are ripe. We are ripe. Forward movement
with far-reaching consequences is occurring now, in part through
conscious effort, in part as if pulled by a tractor beam or other
greater force. Point yourself in the direction of your dreams and see if
you aren’t carried toward them.
2016 Scorpio New Moon – Best Time to Ask
Ask,
too, for guidance and insight. Go ahead and ask to be led in the most
beneficial direction. Ask for a gentle, loving journey toward your
goals. Ask for magic. Everything is in reach, thanks to the easy flow of
the trine between the New Moon and Neptune, ruler of transcendence and
the link to all of life and to the divine.
Even with assistance
from unseen forces, and visitations from ancestors, and downloads in
dreams — all of which are on the rise this coming month — you are
actively participating in everything that unrolls under this Scorpio New
Moon. Don’t shy away from grabbing any opportunities you spy. They are
coming off the cooperative sextile between the New Moon and the North
Node of destiny.
When in doubt, say yes. If the opportunity
doesn’t support the platform and path you’re building, it may not
survive. Or may shape-shift into something that does.
Train your
attention on what matters most to you and let everything else drop.
(Except for those opportunities; they’ll sort themselves out.) Having
trouble deciding? Does it matter in the long run? Do you want to be
thinking about it on your deathbed? Yes: that level of matters most to
you.
This is your moment to go deep, far and long. The reward is
progress toward something precious, to you, and a rich experience of
life on this side of the veil.
