Your New Moon in Scorpio Moonscope November 1st 2024

Ready to dive into the soul depths? The new Moon in transformative Scorpio at the very start of November, is an invitation to take the plunge. Especially when it comes to looking at where those boundaries may be well – a little fluid shall we say? Yours or someone else’s.

Scorpio is a sign that knows all about boundaries. Or lack thereof. Ruled by Mars in ancient times and Pluto today, both planets are about asserting the limits. And having no issue letting others know when the line is crossed. The new Moon appears at 9o Scorpio. And within hours of its reveal, will trine first Saturn in Pisces (rings – boundaries), and then Neptune (no limits whatsoever). This may trigger the realisation we need to construct boundaries if we simply don’t have them. Or reinstate them if we’ve allowed ours to disintegrate.

Sometimes the thought of doing this triggers a lot of anxiety within us. Do we have the strength to apply them? But usually any fears are centered around how someone else will react when we tell them no. Or no more. From our children to a family member, a partner, that friend who expects us always to be available or that boss who needs us to work extra hours – again. This new Moon awakens our strength to get out of other people’s currents and back up on to the sand where we can draw a line in it. And no apologies are needed. You don’t have to say you’re sorry for protecting yourself – and your relationships.

Boundaries get us respect. And others know where we stand and what we will and won’t stand for. This is a new Moon for new rules if we need them. And anyone who really loves you, won’t love you less if you set some. Instead they will love you more for showing them you care by setting limits. This is very different to control. So keep this in mind.

This is also about boundaries on the limits of our imagination. Yes, of course we can dream. But Saturn along with Neptune in the new Moon mix is about grounded inspiration. And a wake-up call if we have not only been dreaming, but have fallen prey to illusion instead. But in line with all new Moons, this one plants the seeds of an empowering dream that, provided we take practical steps, blossoms into something very real for us. The real boundary right now, is defined by our desire to craft our reality.

ARIES

Under this powerful Scorpio New Moon, you’re reconnecting with a deep intensity, Aries. The New Moon brings a profound rebirth, a time when hidden truths come to light, and you’ll see clearly who respects your boundaries and who does not. Take a moment to reflect on where you’ve felt strong or powerless, especially in relationships you feel are past life or karmic connections. Now is the time to shed any lingering feelings of powerlessness and fully trust your instincts.

To fully harness this transformation, set aside dedicated time for yourself. Disconnect from distractions and honour this as a crucial commitment to your growth. This is transformative work; treating it seriously lays the foundation for meaningful change.

Listening to your intuitive wisdom will reveal your actual needs and guide you towards a clear plan to meet them. This New Moon ignites your inner strength, connecting you to higher guidance through Saturn and Neptune in your realm of soul and spirit. A higher purpose is calling you now. You’re taking your power back and owning it.

The Scorpio Moon marks a new era—a time to shed old fears, fully embody your strength, awaken your sensuality, and embrace your magnetic charisma. Scorpios shine and stand out; they don’t dazzle like Leos but instead, radiate an air of mystery and quiet allure with a side order of danger. Now, you’re stepping into that same energy—becoming the captivating, self-assured, and powerful presence in any room you enter.

TAURUS

Does love know no limits? In other words, have you given too much, Taurus? Whether this is a current situation or a pattern from your past, time to look at the emotional give and take in your relationship. You may give too much away about yourself right at the outset of a connection. Or you give before you’ve checked out the other party is truly a worthy and appreciative recipient of your time, love and other assets? This can cut across friendships as well as partners.

Just take a moment under this new Moon as to whether or not you feel you have to make some kind of sales pitch to get the love or acceptance you seek, Taurus. Only you don’t. And sharing too much too quickly before you know someone is trustworthy, can leave you feeling betrayed and taken advantage of. You then end up questioning your own character judgement. In other words, be open, yet protective of the treasure that is you.

Your ability to sustain long haul love, your endurance when it comes to staying the course, is one of your most loveable qualities. You offer the connection others than count on. The thick and the thin of it. But do look at whether or not you feel you have the same.

This new Moon’s angles to Saturn and Neptune ask for you to begin a new, long term way of loving. Which includes loving the love you have to give. And not wasting it. It doesn’t matter if you are single, settled or what type of union this is. Do you want Love 2.0 from this point onwards? Or do you want things to stay the same? If you continue to love the same way – that’s what you get, Taurus. A few tiny limits on how you love, bring you strengthened, lasting love you can count on in return.

GEMINI

Gorgeous Gemini, you’ll automatically set your limits with what you are prepared to do or even talk about under the new Moon in your  6th. Chances are – you may have plans you don’t want to reveal yet. Or be dealing with an issue around your wellbeing, habits, health or how much you do or take on. You’re ready to do the work. And also get on with what needs to be done. But there’s a powerful protective aura surrounding you when it comes to your energy. And your mental health.

Shortly after this new Moon appears we will enter official Mercury retroshadow. Which is one explanation for why you may be coming across as less outgoing than usual. But basically, you are keeping your energy focussed on what matters. Rather than wasting it on what doesn’t. Especially when it comes to anything that has a negative impact on your mood and energy levels. Soul sucking energy vampires, situations that have been lived out, and even negative thought patterns.

Work needs to have meaning for you. Yes, you get the fact we all have to do the mundane stuff when it comes to the everyday business of living. The dishes, the cleaning, paying the bills and simply showing up. But paid or unpaid, what you do each day has to contribute to your overall wellbeing.

This new Moon’s angles to Saturn and Neptune in your 10th of status, reputation and career, will show you whether or not you are receiving the soul take-outs you need. Or not. Because of the upcoming retrograde, if the answer is no, you will formulate plans to change things up in the New Year. But stick the course for now.

Others will be delving deeper into those habits. You will know what looks like self-soothing or care, but in fact, keeps you stuck. Or else takes away from your wellbeing in the long term. Permanent change takes fearless self-examination and exploring alternatives. No wonder others may see you as here in person but occupied elsewhere. Keep your focus where it matters, Gemini.

CANCER

The new Moon in your 5th ignites your personal magnetic qualities. It’s a new Moon of attraction. But what it also needs you to understand is that just because you attract something (or someone), doesn’t necessarily mean you need to instantly say yes to it. It does need to prove its worth and pass the litmus test of whether it’s right for you.

The upside is worrying about what others may think of you, is a thing of the past thanks to the new Moon’s angle to Saturn and Neptune. Indulge your passion and follow your bliss. Those who love, do. Those who are afraid to sit on the sidelines and criticise. This new Moon can mark the appearance of someone who is a lifelong lover or soul connection. But due to the bigger planetary picture right now, you do need to take things slowly. So allow this to develop in its own time.

You’re craving something significant in your life. But resist the impulse to look for love in all the wrong places. Instead, if you are single and seeking – serve yourself by indulging in those hobbies, passions and pastimes. Immerse yourself in something creative. Showcase those talents. And know that because of that aura of attraction surrounding you, love or what you seek, will find you.

Resist escapism however. Find the joy in the here and now. This is a new Moon under which to conceive something lasting. To reinject a current union with heart-starting love. To initiate a goal or project. To plan that wild adventure. Babies, children, teenagers, blended families, co-parenting and your adult children if you have them, may feature. Feeling old? This is a Peter Pan moon. Recapture your youth. Whatever it is you want to do – you’re never too old.

LEO

Time to live your life on your terms under this new Moon, Leo. It’s angle to Saturn in your house of transformation and change is especially important for you. Because it will awaken you as to whether or not you have truly chosen your path. Or are living someone else’s life for them.

Family karma, expectations placed on us by our parents, and traditions may feature. With you asking whether or not they hold meaning for you. Saturn in the mix tells you its time to take responsibility for your own choices and decisions. While Neptune shines on your higher path if you want to take it.

Above all, avoid blame now. Either self-blame or blaming others. This is all about owning your path, Leo. Which means taking responsibility. But also thanks to Neptune, taking the higher path in terms of knowing you were doing the best with what you believed at the time. And so were others.

Between this new Moon and by the time the Mars retrograde ends, you will see a key area of your life transform. Or a move or new path open up for you. In the interim, look at how your family and the people in your life have encouraged you to pursue what is true to you – or have pressured you to conform. Who has supported you when it comes to trying new things? And who, out of fear or their adherence to tradition, has stopped you? As an extra added bonus, you can expect the arrival of someone who will act as a catalyst for you to take your own path. Your future is something you can author from this point onwards. Live it – your way.

VIRGO

With ruler Mercury heading into retroshade just days after the new Moon appears in your 3rd, the emphasis is on what needs to be said.  But saying it with mindfulness, Virgo. Especially when it comes to others. And partnerships in particular.

It’s time to talk seriously. Thanks to the angles between the new Moon and Saturn and Neptune in your 7th. Above all, don’t beat around the bush. If you do need to talk something through with someone, get straight to the point. But steer clear of blaming or dredging up the past. Above all, know what you want. And take this seriously. This especially applies to any of you looking for love at this point. I could add that this isn’t the time to swipe away right now. But if you simply can’t resist, then stick to those criteria. And take your time to ensure the other party meets them.

This is a wonderful new Moon under which to begin a new project. Yes, if something is ready to launch you CAN push the button on it on the day the Moon appears. But again, do be mindful that your ruler will be in retroshadow in less than a week. So, if it’s not ready now, continue to revise and refine. The same goes for applications and pitches, signing contracts and submissions. Go on the new Moon or immediately after. Or else hold until after the retrograde.

Focus your mind and your energy on one project or outcome now. And you’ll quickly discover that results follow your intention. Others sit up and take notice when it comes to what you have to say. Yes, you may refine and fine tune over the next few weeks. And edit. Chances are it’s not the amount of words you use, but finding the right ones. Say it and mean it. And keep it concise.

LIBRA

‘Budget’ is a word which ranks right up there with ‘diet’ for many of us. But there’s no escaping the need under the new Moon in your money zone to look at how you relate to your money – and other resources. Especially when it ka-chings off of Saturn (spending limits), and Neptune (no limits), in your house of work and wellness.

If the B word smacks of denial and austerity – how about ‘Spend and Save Plan’, Libra? Also, with the upcoming Mercury retrograde in your house of commerce and shopping, if you want to stay within your limits and potentially grab a bargain, then do your present shopping now rather than later. This also avoids the rush. And you come out ahead in more than one area.

But there’s no avoiding how you feel emotionally about your money, your income and what you possess. And your potential to forge a brand new relationship with these. Do look to your values. What really matters to you. And align where the money goes or even plans to increase your income to these. Saturn in the mix leads to you detaching from any emotional sting around debt. Or you feeling your worth is tied to what you earn or have. While properly channelled, Neptune can hand you inspiration to use your talents or what you already have to hand, to bring you more of what really matters.

Knowing what you spend and on what, is simply good housekeeping. As is understanding the effect debt can have on our psyche and overall health. If you feel you need help with any of this, Saturn’s presence guides you to the right source. And also tells you that this is an act of self-care. This is a hot house new Moon when it comes to new ideas. Take time to incubate them. Go back over the bottom line, Libra. Chances are if you do, that plan reveals you have more at your disposal than you thought. You’ll grow this between now and February 2025.

SCORPIO

The new Moon triggers the need to try something new. Keep this up close and personal, Scorpio. Why? Because old ruler Mars is in retroshadow. And new ruler Pluto is about to change signs. Look to your appearance, your face, style, look, image and profile. IRL and online. It is all about you and how you feel about yourself. The impression you make or what to create. Your very best one – first time around.

The new Moon in your sign always marks the astrological point of new beginnings. No matter what date your birthday falls on. It’s angles to Saturn and Neptune in your 5th of pleasure, attraction and romance, see you more aware than at any other time that what you project determines not just how you are seen and regarded, but what you attract.

Because of the retro weather, your desire to begin something new, needs to remain with the new you at this point. And not with outer projects or other plans. But you is all you need, phoenix! Your consciousness expands around how you appear and come across. That’s all thanks to Neptune enhancing your awareness of the effect you have on others. Or should I say – could have!

This is a new Moon of star quality. Where you can adjust or craft that vision of you that you present to the outer world. Infuse this with glamour and a touch of enchantment. No. you don’t have to break the bank doing this. And do keep in mind this is all about personal style as opposed to fads or fast fashion. Be timeless but keep yourself updated.

There’s an extra special birthday gift which this new Moon unwraps for you. And that is all this self-reflection and adjustment is in fact, designed to prepare you for something new. Due to the upcoming retrograde, it may take a while to appear. You don’t have to go seeking it however. Simply begin at the point where all miracles start. With you.

SAGITTARIUS

No more fuzzy thinking, Sag. The new Moon in your secretive 12th always delivers insights. But this one truly does reveal or deliver clarity around a specific topic. Or illuminate a clear choice if you’ve been uncertain about the way forward. You can thank the Moons angle to Saturn (reality) and Neptune (your higher path), for this.

If you’ve allowed something to simply ‘drift’ – perhaps due to not knowing what to do, or simply not being in the right head space to deal with it, you now take back control. Options you may have overlooked, suddenly appear. Yes, moving ahead may involve a tough decision or even an ending. But you appreciate how much better this is for you than simply staying stuck.

This is always the time of year where you release and reflect. And it will be more intense this cycle due to Mercury’s retroshadow in your sign. As well as the upcoming Mars retrograde in your all-important 9thhouse. Look to where you have been shining your limitless light and ability to bring laughter to the world simply by your presence.

This new Moon cuts away the worries that have clouded your ability to do this lately. The more cut-through you achieve, the more you’ll see optimism (and luck), return. You need to release and let something go to move forward, Sag. Don’t be afraid to do this. It will immediately be replaced with the certainty something new is coming. But just be patient for the big reveal.

CAPRICORN

One of the best new Moons of the year for grounded goal getting and manifestation magic, Capricorn! When it appears, you are on the cusp of bidding farewell forever to Pluto in your sign – which rules Scorpio and your 11th house. The Moon’s angle to your ruler Saturn in your 3rd, adds that extra dimension of determination to see those plans through to completion. Pluto is at the most potent its been since it first entered your sign back in 2008. It’s an open invitation too harness your power now. And to expect equally powerful results.

Neptune in your 3rd is also energised by this new Moon. Adding an extra shot of inspiration and imagination to those ideas.

Do however, mine your past. And don’t be in too much of a hurry to set off in hot pursuit of whatever it is you want to attain or do. This is due to Mercury about to enter retroshade in your 12th a few days later. Take it those visions may be subject to refinement before settling into their final form. But also that people you know or from you past, may have a role to play. As does your past experiences.

Lucky for you, No Hurry Saturn tells you that anything worth having requires commitment. And as usual, you’ll bring it. Because of the special elements to this new Moon – which always marks the start of your social peak, this could mark the beginning of a significant friendship or association. Someone who is both helpful, supportive and influential.

There may be a significant age difference between you – inter-generation friendships offer both parties so much. Or else they come from a different social sphere, background or profession. Look past the obvious and you’ll find the pair of you share the same perspective on so much. Soul to soul into the future together, Cappy.

AQUARIUS

Rewards and recognition, what you receive in return for what you do, are the sub-themes of the new Moon in your career and status sector. How invested are you? And if its all-in or there’s a what amounts to an entire Netflix series to be made from your journey, have you received what you expected from this?

Pluto is about to ignite the full power of your potential when it lands in your sign later this month. Plus, Mars is about to make a rare retrograde in your house of partnerships. This includes working and professional unions. And your 10th house not only rules your career, but your relationship status and the status of your partner. Present and potential.

Time to know what it is you want – and need in return, and set your certainty and surety around this. Above all, in your professional life and your personal one, know what the deal-makers and breakers are. Do NOT sell out your values.

Often when we look back at things that didn’t work out – or just weren’t worth our time, we discover that this began when we compromised one or more core values at the start. Ahead of Pluto’s arrival, do look back and analyse where this may have occurred. And why.

The Moon aligns to Saturn in your 2nd. Which always rewards for long term efforts. While the Moon’s angle of empowered revelation to Neptune delivers the bottom line. Does this add up, Aquarius? Major rewards may be on offer. But satisfaction isn’t necessarily guaranteed. You’ll be aware of what’s been oh-so-worth it. But if you find you’re in deficit, harness the upcoming retro energy and limitless Pluto empowerment on offer, to invest your heart, soul and talents elsewhere.

PISCES

Escapism can be tempting, but it’s not a lasting solution, Pisces. While we all need a break from reality now and then, we can’t linger there forever. This New Moon in your 9th house of big dreams, learning, travel, and expansion is encouraging you to dream big, especially as it aligns with Neptune. But its other angle to Saturn serves as a grounding force, urging you to keep your feet firmly on the ground.

Saturn’s presence may challenge your perspectives, sharpening your focus. Rather than getting lost in the big picture, it calls you to pay attention to the details. When it comes to achieving those dreams, luck or fate seems to work in your favour if you’re fully present.

Think of Saturn as your wise guide, reminding you to stay focused on where you are and what steps are necessary to reach your goals. This isn’t about abandoning excitement and adventure but about balancing dreams with the here and now.

The magic of this New Moon lies in who you attract into your orbit. Pay attention to the people who cross your path, get in touch, or even reappear in your life. Opportunities, solutions, and breakthroughs are all connected to the people around you now.

First, get clear on where you want to go and what outcome you’re hoping to achieve. Once you know that, create a plan or set a clear intention. Then, watch for who shows up. The journey ahead may require allies, and those connections could bring exactly what you need to move forward. The gift of the present moment is waiting for you, Pisces—embrace it.
